The bar is more of a mature crowd and I believe it states that you must be 25 years or older. The place is spacious for groups.

They also had tv screens game to show the sports games. They also have a pool table inside and various framed artworks. I had a great time with friends.

I really wanted to like Bronx Public, but my experience ended up being pretty average…read more I ordered the plantain chips as an appetizer and the crispy chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries for my main course. The chicken sandwich was juicy with the sweet potato fries were cooked perfectly with a crispy outside and soft center. The plantain chips were a little undercooked for my taste. They also came out at the same time as my sandwich, so they really weren't much of an appetizer. I also ordered an Old Fashioned. Since it's my favorite cocktail, I may be harder to please than most, but I'd only give it a 2 out of 5. It just didn't have the balance and flavor I was expecting. The atmosphere was probably the highlight of the visit. They have seven big TVs throughout the restaurant, making it a great place to watch sports. Unfortunately, the service details brought the experience down. I asked twice for no pickles on my sandwich, but it still came out with pickles. Thank goodness I'm not allergic to pickles, because that could have been a much more serious mistake. It's a simple request that should have been caught. Overall, there were some positives, especially the sandwich, fries, and sports atmosphere, but too many small mistakes added up. Between the appetizer arriving with the main course, the undercooked plantain chips, the disappointing Old Fashioned, and the missed special request, this visit didn't live up to my expectations.

This spot feels like it's quietly stepping into a much-needed role as a high-end date night option…read morein an area that leans heavily casual and family-friendly. The crispy octopus easily rivals anything I've had in Manhattan, super tender with just the right crisp. The cassava hash browns were so good I was almost annoyed by how simple they were. Paired with a rich, meaty sauce and a fresh fennel crunch, the whole dish was incredibly balanced. The wings were the most straightforward item on the menu (in the best way), lightly spiced, slightly sweet, and great for picky eaters. Someone needs to give the bartenders a raise. I ordered three drinks just to test consistency--every single one was balanced, spirit-forward, and not overly sweet. The presentation was different on each one and felt intentional without being gimmicky. I've seen some of the lower Yelp ratings and they mostly call out price, but this is very much a you get what you pay for situation. The quality of the food, the portion sizes (especially for this level of execution), and the overall intentionality behind the menu justify it in my opinion. Service was excellent. They squeezed me in last minute, and my waiter, Dionicio, handled my coconut allergy (not easy at a Dominican spot) with real care and ease. The space itself is worth mentioning - moody, mushroom/mossy interiors. Super cute, very well thought out, and definitely a place I'll be coming back to.

Having tried their outstanding burger the last three times there, I opted for their Buffalo wings…read morelast night. They are the best wings I've ever had in Riverdale, Inwood or Washington Heights. I can't quite figure out why other places always seem to be missing something when it comes to how they make their wing--but not Blackstone! I ordered the wings to go and while waiting, I had their Blackstone tap beer which will be the only beer I will drink there because it was surprisingly good--and I'm usually not one for tap beer. No longer Heineken, Corona, Amstel, etc.--I'll go with this delightful beer. The staff is ALWAYS very engaging and professional. I will be going there a lot more!

What a wonderful spot for you to explore…read more We wanted to take our friend out to dinner for his birthday he likes a low key style. We called a head since it was 6 of us to see if we could do a walk in or if we needed a reservation , and both options are available which is a plus. Dress attire is your choice we dressed regular nothing fancy just day to day hang out style. We were greeted kindly by the staff sat down handed a set of dominoes to play with while we waited for our food and drank some water. The place is decorated nicely and you can see the vision in mind definitely. We placed our orders and I'm not gonna lie I came in thinking the food was gonna be eh but I was blown away by the flavors. For drinks we ordered a spicy sunset, pretty young thing and cokes. The spicy sunset is a nice strong drink and is rimmed nicely with just the right amount is tajin as you drink it; it has a nice smoky after taste to it definitely was delicious. The pretty young thing was a nice citrusy drink with a little salty aftertaste, which balanced out the flavor nicely. The cokes were not water down they were good as well. For food we ordered the Cuban sandwich with parmesan fries, butter chicken wings, butter chicken macaroni and cheese, steak nachos grande, butter chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and mom's butter chicken platter. This was a wonderful Spanish and Indian style combination of flavors. Definitely my first time having this type of food and wow what a mind blowing experience. Not one person in the table complained or had anything negative to say about their food. We all tried each other's food and each bite we exchanged to try was delicious and better than the last . The Cuban was delicious but the parmesan fries stole the show from that meal it was paired so lovely who would've thought those flavors would've mixed nicely. The buttery chicken wings oh my God dripping with goodness each bite was legit finger licking good lol. The butter chicken macaroni very very delicious. Had a nice cheese pull and a good balance could not stop eating it. The steak nachos were delicious I wish It had a little more meat, but it was not bad. The butter chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries also delicious and the fries were cooked so nicely that it was crispy and soft at the same time per bite. The mom's butter chicken platter was delicious they gave the right amount of sauce, the pita bread was delicious and soft, the salad that it was paired with was good too the rice was decently portioned. Everything was definitely tasty. Not one complaint of any of the meals. We did not wait long for the food. Bathrooms were nice and clean. I want to come back to try more things in the menu that's how good the food was and our group agreed to also come back with us. This spot is definitely a place to try. They have a beautiful quote right near the bar that really spoke to us, especially during these times it said "you are exactly where you need to be." It makes you stop for a second and really take it in and just live in the moment ... especially living in New York, where you have to be always go go go fast fast fast. This was really beautifully written thank you to the staff who made our night and our friend's birthday special we'll see you soon.

Home Bx…read morewas packed, with only a few tables remaining and all the flatscreens and a new screen behind where the live entertainment plays, broadcasting the England victory over Norway and the Argentina victory over Switzerland. It had been a while since I had been here and I was focused on the number one item on the menu: the 50oz bone in Cote de Boeuf, always medium rare, which I believe is one of the best values for carnivores in town. Once seated in the corner near the front window, I perused their new menu off the new menu from the QR code. I noticed the pork belly over chickpeas and ordered that along with a glass of red sangria. Irma took my order and I explained I wanted a fruity non fortified red sangria. It was very good. Irma forgot the bread and butter they usually serve and they brought it later after her shift ended, but left it out of my to go bag. The pork belly was very good and so crisp. The serrated steak knife was necessary. The fat was largely rendered out, but still present between the crackling skin and the savory meat underneath. It was two thick slabs over the chickpeas and a substantial appetizer for 16 bucks. Some appetites could enjoy this as a main with a salad and be fine. That would not be me this evening. I ordered the Cote de Boeuf medium rare, which comes with grilled onions and two sides, which I chose the whipped potatoes and the asparagus, the latter new to the menu. I also ordered the Lobster Mac and Cheese as an extra, which is now served with Gruyere as an additional cheese to the mix. The Gruyere is new and it adds a sharpness juxtaposed with the sweet lobster meat and puts this over the top for me. They adjoined the neighboring free table and presented the steak sizzling and pre-cut nicely from the kitchen. I tried to take a video of that moment without success. I told them to hold all the sauces they offer and just bring the citrus salt. This magnificent cut only needs the citrus salt and nothing more; though, you will find those grilled onions go well with this cut. At $125 for this hunk of bone in excellence, this is one of the best cuts served in NYC at an irrefutably great value, with the sides included, save for the Lobster Mac and Cheese. So juicy and flavorsome highlighted with the citrus salt, that pink center with the ring is evident of what the skillful chefs can do here at Home Bx. The steak at Home Bx may be aged, dry or wet, I cannot confirm; however, the edge goes to less than a handful of the other steakhouses for flavor, but none at this price. The whipped potatoes are great and are the perfect accomplishment for steak. I don't know why the whipped potatoes are served modestly for such a large steak, but they are very good. The asparagus, new to the menu, are about six large spears and are not overcooked. The salt and juice runoff from the steak go well with the asparagus counterpoint. The Lobster Mac and Cheese deserves repeat mention, with the addition of Gruyere cheese. It now has more refined and balanced flavor, with the sharp Gruyere and sweet lobster playing off each other. The Lobster Mac and Cheese is a must have here. It's that good, goes well with the steak, especially with the Gruyere, and it will be the only side not included with that 50oz tender steak. 4.3 stars! Stay tuned for part two of this review. I ordered the new pork chop on the menu and the roast chicken to go.

I wanted to go to An Beal Bocht but it was packed so decided to give it a shot. 5 people in the place and still a bouncer to check IDs. Gave my cc to hold a tab and was happy when the bartender asked if she should close it out since I heard there could be a $20 minimum from other reviews. She seemed nice enough, got 2 rounds of Blue Moon for 2 people.. taste was definitely off, but again I wasn't being picky for a dive spot. I closed out after round 2. Bottom line.. 4 beers: $36 + $7.20 tip automatically charged. Wth??? I always doubt these bad reviews and think a business couldn't possibly run that way but yep... they do.... and they're still running... don't make the same mistake I did. Go to the crowded bar or walk to Riverdale Avenue and go to a different place. This one should be closed down.
