Naides is one of the tough ones, and its calendar was fully booked when we last looked. That is normal here, and it is not the end of the story: most people who eat at Naides get in on a cancellation, which can appear at any hour and usually goes within minutes. We recheck Tock throughout the day and alert you when one turns up, so you can stop refreshing.

What should you know before booking Naides?

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. 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 alert 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, 0% of the 30-day booking window had a table open for two at Naides, which puts it among the harder rooms we track. SnagRes rechecks Tock throughout the day and alerts you when that changes.
What time can you actually get a table at Naides?
Availability at Naides varies night to night. SnagRes shows the exact open times on this page and emails them to Plus members as they appear.
What is the best party size to book Naides?
Two and four sit close together at Naides in our data, 0% of the window open for two against 0% for four, a gap too small to plan around, so party size is not the lever here. Shifting the night or the seating time moves availability more.
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 rechecks throughout the day for cancellations and off-schedule 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 rechecks Tock for Naides throughout the day and alerts you when a table opens.
Why is it so hard to get into Naides?
0% of Naides's 30-day booking window was bookable for two at the last check. Demand is the reason, not a lack of tables: tables go the minute they appear, which is why repeated checks beat refreshing at a fixed hour.
Can you walk in at Naides?
SnagRes tracks reservations rather than walk-ins, so we cannot see a live bar count. Naides is busy enough that a walk-in is a gamble, but many rooms like it keep a few bar or counter seats, so it is worth calling Naides to ask. For a sure table, star it and let an alert tell you the moment one 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.
