Pub · Yorkville · 66 tips and reviews
Brennan Degan: Great bar, friendly staff, no food. Definitely worth a visit!
New York Habitat: Not quite a dive bar but certainly not an upscale joint, just a good local spot. They've got pool, darts, and even a basketball game to pass the time. Plus who can argue with free potato chips?
Teresa W: Mick and Jimmy: my favorite bartenders in all of NYC.

Robert Dioguardi: Most amazing croissants! Fresh, warm & pillow-y.
Susan Kille: Get a coffee & tasty pastry & head for long row of benches out front to sit in morning sun & watch folks across street in Starbucks who paid more for less & are inside in the shade.
Serious Eats: A good source for sweets like chocolate crackle, Tate's Bake Shop goodies, and Payard pastries.

Time Out New York: Twenty taps dispense craft brews (Barrier, Empire) at this 50-seat beer bar, which is decorated with a white-pine-topped tables, exposed brick and lamps made from growlers. Read more.
Brew York: The Pony heads east! $5 beers, 20 rotating craft brews on tap, 2 casks, and great food... everything you came to expect at their Hell's Kitchen location. When they ring the bell, yell "NEW BEER!"

Corey Passero: bro-duechy scene at night but fine cocktails and a really good food menu. highly recommend the deep fried pickles as well as the pat lafreda burger
Brendan Clancy: Another loud filament light bulb filled gastropub employing the failsafe method to young professionals wallets of fried pickles, artisanal drinks, mac and cheese and tiles. Tear for Ship of Fools...
Sarah-Jane Purvis: Oyster slides are pretty gross. Taste of the ocean....not in a good way. Didn't make me horny either.
