    The PB burger is awesome! Great balance of sweet and savory. They've great beer on draft (and a seriously delicious pumpkin cider). Bartenders get kinda confused but they're super friendly tbh.

    Great burgers (and other stuff too) and lots of beers to chose from. Can get pretty crowded so you can stop by At The Wallace next door for a drink and they'll come get you when your table is ready!

    loaded grilled cheese was so delicious plus a side of tater tots! Also was a fan of the avocado fries, but it may not be for everyone. Great beer selection & neighborhood spot, love the vibe & music.

    Located on a former skid row is this gem waiting to be discovered. Crowded, sexy and trendy. This bar style mimics Williamsburg hip. Who knew these folks lived around here? After 8 is a doorman???

    Amazing brunch... try the #EggsDeb and one of the Three Mary's. Didn't catch brunch? Try the Avocado Fries, Pork Belly Queso, or the Peanut Butter Burger with a nice, cold beer.

    One of the best bars to socialize or hang out with friends in the Hamilton Heights. I used to enjoy coming here a lot when I was still local to the neighborhood.

    Not a bad thing to say about this place. Super attentive servers, great craft beer selection, incredible burger (bonus points for adding swiss and brown sugar bacon), and a great neighborhood crowd.

    Always love this place. Great for drinks and food, quirky items such as PB Burger and the avocado fries are super tasty. The onion rings though, they take me back to elementary school!

    I've come for happy hour a couple times, now today on a Friday night. Never a bad time. Such a great, mixed crowd of people from the neighborhood, fantastic beer, good music...and now great food too!

    The tap beer was on point, and their burger combinations are vast.. 👌Try one w/swiss cheese, mushrooms, sauteed onions, pickles, chipotle sauce and side of sweet potatoes fries. 😀😊☺

    There's a 15 dollar minimum on credit card transactions. Overall fantastic service and great vibe. Free popcorn was a highlight and you should try the Apple Crispin Cider.

    I’m from the Midwest and I can never find good cheese curds here. These were delicious! I was told it was a seasonal item when I was there last but if it isn’t already it needs to be available always!

    Popcorn, variety of beers, great cocktails, loaded grilled cheese. Hip hop on the speakers and sports on the tv. It would be an understatement to say that I love Hpub.

    The chicken on the waffle were super crispy and delicious. Overall place is done and chill vibe drinks were to small and lack alcohol .

    This place taught me something very important about life: Doritos with guacamole is amazing. Get the Loaded Grilled Cheese to see what I mean. Warning: kitchen is closed from 4pm to 5pm on Sundays.

    Get the loaded grilled cheese. At first I was like, who puts guac and Doritos on a grilled cheese? Then after tasting it I realized the glorious minds at Harlem Public are genius. Best.sandwich.ever.

    Crowded. Horrible waiting system. Bar next door is comforting, but seeing as this is one of the few places in harlem the bar gets crowded as well. Great finger food, service, and drinks.

    Good rotation on the taps, good food too. This place is always really busy and packed, even on a Monday. I guess this part of town was starving for some craft beer options.

    First, to Laura D. who commented on this place before me, this neighborhood has had many thriving businesses here for decades. Please don't act like a yuppie. Second, Harlem Public is a great place.

    Staff are generally knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the wide beer selection. Usually crowded, but outdoor seating is far less cramped in fine weather. Solid food choices.
