    Hot wings to go
    Jennifer L.

    Not much happened here aside from a nice brief convo w the bartender, a nice strong drink and some decent wings. I prefer slow cooked or smoked wings as opposed to deep fried but the hot sauce was on point. Overall - great time, would love to come back!

    It was 11:30 Friday night and the Thayer hotel bartender suggested we come here to get my son a bite to eat as he just played a night baseball game. The bar had a decent crowd and when I walked in I was unsure how this would play out but when you have a very friendly bartender and food that hits the spot - you get five stars! The burgers were great and the wings good. Thank you for making us dinner and watching golden state beat the cavilers. Just when we were done the Thayer bartender showed up so I guess he really likes this place! Great find

    Everytime I visit West Point, Benny Havens is a must! Bartender Sean is super friendly. Drinks are great, burgers made fresh to order, and wings are done just right. Looking forward to our next visit!!!

    Bartender was very unfriendly. He also told us there was no food available. As we were sitting there having our beer a local came in and ordered a sandwich. And the bartender made him food. Hmmmm I thought there wasn't food available. Never going back. And to the owner who wrote a complaint about my review stating they don't serve sandwiches I just saw a post from two days ago that stated you had burgers. Also the customer asked for extra bacon on the "sandwich"so you can ask the bartender who it was since you don't believe me.

    Another great time. Excellent burgers and wings. Guinness very cold. Watching football. Say hi to Sean. Will be here again for sure.

    I have to agree with ALL these reviews-this place is absolutely fantastic and they should not…read morechange a thing! First off-the owners are so FRIENDLY and kind--you can talk to them about anything and they are happy to answer questions about any of the food and/or drinks. You can tell they love owning this place and meeting customers. I have heard so much about the Pub and went for the first time yesterday with two friends. We had one of their rotating cask beers and one of their bitter regular casks which is a staple of the establishment-each beer was delicious and tasty! I had the vegan curry dish which was very tasty with veggies, rice and great spice. My friends had a dish similar to Shepherd's Pie but slightly different and cooked with more like steak stewed meat rather than lamb and we all licked our plates clean LOL. We also shared two of the desserts which were vanilla ice cream with some type of coconut cookie in it and the other was vanilla ice cream with a yummy type of strawberry sauce I think. The atmosphere is so laid back as well-like traditional British Pubs you order your drinks and food at the bar and they deliver your food to your table with a number. You are able to sit wherever you would like and I hear it gets very packed for European football games. I can't wait until I get a chance to go again-there aren't a ton of food options being that I don't eat red meat-but I was able to find the curry and could also try the Fish and Chips which looked amazing and I have heard it is great. If you are in the area-stop by for a drink or two and you will not be disappointed-you feel like you are transported to England with these type of pub.

    Came to Ambleside on a weekday as I had to go to a dealership nearby. I love British pubs from…read moresimilar places in the city, and they have chips (french fries) so my son would be happy. It was bright and sunny outside, but traditionally dark and well worn inside. You order at the bar and they bring everything to your table. Owners were very nice as you'd expect. I got their house bitter cask ale. Very good however please note this is close to room temperature than a typical cold beer; I personally love the style and this was a good example. My son doesn't understand that British people call fries chips, so we ended up having to get him French fries and potato chips. They luckily had the latter, even if they didn't have plain ones, so we got him ketchup-flavored chips that of course he proceeded to barely eat (they were actually good). He did like the French fries/British chips, and my wife liked her breakfast sandwich even if it was a bit heavy for her. My fish and chips were really freaking good. Sizable piece of fish (haddock), nice and crisp, with a ton of chips and lots of sauces (spicy mustard, vinegar, etc). Maybe not my favorite fish and chips ever, but it hit the spot. Would come back here in a heartbeat, especially where I could relax and drink a bit more. Completely understand why they are recognized as a top bar in the US.

    As someone who has come to this bar regularly to watch Knicks playoff games, I can confidently say…read moreI will never return after what happened during the NBA Finals last night. What this bar pulled was completely unacceptable. They were openly reserving seats at the bar for certain people while telling everyone else they were unavailable. There was no advertised reservation policy, no advance notice, and no opportunity offered to regular customers. Apparently, the only way to get a seat is to know the owner, know the bartenders, or be part of the inner circle. What made it even worse was that my group had been sitting at the bar, ordering food and drinks starting around 7:30 PM, only to be forced out of our seats at 7:45 PM. The reservation signs on those seats clearly stated they were reserved for 8:15 PM. We were paying customers actively spending money, yet we were removed 30 minutes before the supposed reservation time. That is absolutely egregious behavior. I've worked in sports bars and have owned sports bars in New York City. In all my years in the business, I have never heard of reserving seats directly at the bar--especially during a major sporting event. It goes against everything that makes a sports bar successful. Bar seats have always been first-come, first-served. That's Sports Bar 101. I've spent plenty of money here over the years because it was always a great place to watch big games: good atmosphere, sound on the TVs, and a fun crowd. Unfortunately, last night proved that customer loyalty means absolutely nothing. Regular patrons were treated like second-class citizens while preferred customers received special treatment. For a bar that markets itself as a neighborhood sports destination, this was incredibly disappointing, unprofessional, and frankly insulting. If you're planning to watch a major game here, don't assume you'll be treated fairly. Unless you're friends with the right people, don't expect the same experience as everyone else. There are plenty of other sports bars in Brooklyn that understand how to treat customers. After last night, I'll be spending my money there instead. I won't be back, and I certainly won't be recommending this place to anyone. Let's Go Knicks
