Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014Check the evening chalkboard specials, which include rather daring things for a bar, such as diverse fish carefully broiled, various chops and cutlets, and, especially, meal-size salads. Read more
Matt GMarch 19, 2020Corned beef sandwich on St. Patty’s day when restaurants had to close was amazing 👌 the wonderful woman working behind the bar also gave me a Guinness in a to-go cup which absolutely made my night.
CompassMay 2, 2014Order a shot of the signature liquor, Grandma’s Apple Pie vodka, and enjoy the low key bar on 30th Street. Free popcorn can help wash down any drink.
It may look like an old run down pub from the outside, but the inside is filled with a great beers & a chef who clearly cares about food. You won't be disappointed by the specials!
The Corcoran GroupMarch 5, 2012Don't let the dark exterior dissuade you from coming in an enjoying a few beers and a delicious Ostrich Burger and Sweet Potato Fries or the Moroccan Stew.
Nat HarwardDecember 21, 2013Venison Chili Nachos: "Anywhere nachos and hot, savory chili come together to join forces is a place you want to be. Rest of the bar food is interesting (but not TOO interesting)." Read more- Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014The main draw here is an extensive on-tap beer list, including the products of craft brewers from all over the country. Read more
Devon LawrenceDecember 24, 2015Love this spot!! Great food, awesome service and super casual. It's the perfect neighborhood bar to grab dinner or a quick drink
Andrew CJuly 20, 2016Always walked by this bar after grocery shopping... It's a basic divey / sports bar - decent priced drinks, friendly staff (but not many!), and plenty of TVs
Stephanie MorenoApril 8, 2012Their spirits selection is quite amazing, particularly their Scotch and R(h)um selections. A must before or after (or both) after seeing a movie at Kips Bay.
Kelsey A.October 11, 2017The sausage platter was super duper good. The Chelsea wheat beer was a perfect pairing. It tasted like the Citradelic IPA but without the hops
Exotic selections to eat (venison burger, portobello lasagna) great food, KC behind the bar is always fantastic- Tosca DiMatteoJanuary 2, 2012sweet potato fries are fantastic. great choice before heading to the movies. often have game meat on special, don't miss the specials board!
alana marie edmundsMarch 24, 2013Grab a drink before or after a movie. Also enjoy a heaping plate of sweet potato fries for six bucks !! Great wines too.
Really really like the burger here. It's definitely in the top of the burgers I've had in the city!
RDWSeptember 3, 2011Got surprised last night by pretty darn good blues/jazz band, for food we had the nachos w/venison, Texas dip brisket sandwich, and jerky, all was really good
Order off the special board for something unique and fun. From the regular menu the wurst platter is the best or the French dip.
Nishant DixitOctober 25, 2011Get the pulled chicken sandwich with waffle fries and grab a bottle of their secret hot sauce. Also known for some of the best IPAs in the city.
A decent selection of craft beers (15 or so) at a reasonable price (most around $7). If they still have it, try the Sam's Serious Pils. Also, make sure to grab some free popcorn!
I like to get the fish and chips. If you're in the mood for it, this rendition is great.
The perfect place for a casual night out. Great food, staff and beers
John PaterakisJanuary 5, 2015Broad selection of both food and draft beer. Extensive selection of specials.
Katie FlynnNovember 24, 2012Order any food off the board and the beer or spirit of the week. It's all excellent!
Great beer selection, free popcorn and amazing food! Always hit here before a movie and after!!
Wings are pretty good. A little more tang than you might get in Buffalo, but a worthy NYC effort.
Ishan ChatterjeeJuly 11, 2014The house hot sauce has a good flavor to it but *watch out* for how mouth-numbingly hot it is.
John LaNovember 5, 2010their lunch specials are awesome. get the Texas dip. the soup of they is always amazing. been there about a dozen times and had the same soup twice.
Beat place in the world. Being a regular has it's privileges. Best staff in NYC!!! Best food, best beer.
Great local beers on tap, amazing Chili, homemade Hot sauce, BBQ and local fun atmosphere!
Trae FAugust 13, 2016The buffalo wings were inedible but they defended themselves with a decent burger. $21 bottles of rosè are a bargain.- Awesome chili, wings, burgers and the house made hot sauce!!!
Veggie nachos are amazing. Try the hot sauce as well... Might be the best hot sauce in NYC!
Burger BedlamFebruary 3, 2011Great weekly beer selection. Skip the burger and order the vinegar based pulled pork, one of the best in town.
Justin OblakDecember 8, 2012The homemade chips and dip special is killer. Order it if it's on the board.- Texas chili is great. Skip the rice and get a side of tortilla chips. Sam's hot sauce adds a bad ass kick!
Southwest chicken salad, dried jerky and sausage, everything.
Versha SharmaNovember 25, 2013Sam's Serious Eggnog: 3 types of rum, bourbon and brandy - deeeelicious!!
