How hard is it to get a table at Naides?

49% of the open slots recorded at Naides fall between 7:00 and 8:30 PM, out of 197,046 observed, so prime time genuinely does surface here.

The times we see open run from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM, and the single slot that opens most often is 5:30 PM.

We have never once seen a Monday or a Tuesday or a Wednesday come open, which usually means Naides is closed then rather than simply full.

Tock began as a prepaid ticketing platform and still behaves like one. Seats tend to go on sale in blocks at a set moment, often weeks ahead, and a returned seat can reappear without warning when someone cancels a prepaid booking.

What is the best way to book Naides?

  1. Check what is open at Naides right now. Start from the live calendar on this page rather than from Tock. It shows every date in the 30-day window with its current status, so you can see at a glance whether anything is bookable before you spend time on the platform.
  2. Widen your time to include 5:30 PM. 5:30 PM is the slot that opens most often at Naides. The full range we see open runs 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM.
  3. Set an alert instead of refreshing. Tock began as a prepaid ticketing platform and still behaves like one. Seats tend to go on sale in blocks at a set moment, often weeks ahead, and a returned seat can reappear without warning when someone cancels a prepaid booking. Cancellations arrive on no schedule at all, which is why refreshing by hand does not work. Star Naides on SnagRes and you get an email the moment a table appears, with a link straight to Tock.

Frequently asked questions about booking Naides

How hard is it to get a reservation at Naides?
At the last check, 40% of the 30-day booking window had a table open for two at Naides. About 49% of open slots land between 7:00 and 8:30 PM. SnagRes checks Tock continuously and emails you when that changes.
What time can you actually get a table at Naides?
The open times recorded at Naides run from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM, and 5:30 PM is the slot that comes open most often. These are the times left available, not the restaurant's full service hours.
What is the best party size to book Naides?
Two and four book about equally at Naides in our data, 40% of the window open for two against 40% for four, so party size is not the lever here. Shifting the night or the seating time moves availability more.
Is Naides open on Monday?
We have never recorded an open table at Naides on a Monday or a Tuesday or a Wednesday, which normally indicates a closing day rather than a full book.
What time do Naides tickets open?
Naides releases tickets on the 15th of the previous month, at 11:00 AM. Tock began as a prepaid ticketing platform and still behaves like one. Seats tend to go on sale in blocks at a set moment, often weeks ahead, and a returned seat can reappear without warning when someone cancels a prepaid booking. SnagRes also watches continuously, so cancellations arriving off-schedule are caught the same as scheduled drops.
How far ahead does Naides release tables?
Naides releases tickets on the 15th of the previous month, at 11:00 AM. A new date appears at the far edge of that window each cycle, and cancellations can surface at any point in between.
Which booking platform does Naides use?
Naides takes tickets on Tock. Tock began as a prepaid ticketing platform and still behaves like one. Seats tend to go on sale in blocks at a set moment, often weeks ahead, and a returned seat can reappear without warning when someone cancels a prepaid booking. SnagRes watches Tock for Naides continuously and emails you the moment a table opens.
Can you walk in at Naides?
SnagRes tracks reservations rather than walk-ins, so we cannot see a live bar or counter count at Naides. Many rooms do hold a few seats for walk-ins, often early or at the bar, so it is worth calling ahead. If you would rather lock in a table, star Naides and we will email you the moment a reservation opens.
Is using a reservation alert legal?
Yes. SnagRes only notifies you when a table opens; the booking itself is an ordinary reservation you make yourself on Tock, under your own name. It does not resell tables, run bots to hold them, or automate the booking, so it does not cross the lines a resale or auto-booking service does.
Does SnagRes book Naides for me?
No. SnagRes tells you the moment a table opens at Naides and links you straight to Tock with the date prefilled, then you complete the reservation yourself. It never logs into your account and never books on your behalf, which is what keeps your account in good standing.
