    a table with a beer in it
    Cherie T.

    Had a bit of time to kill after we checked out of our hotel & before our flight, so popped down into this unassuming & cozy little pub. This was the only place we went to in NYC that had a sour craft beer on tap, so I was happy. The brisket sliders were very good, with soft buns & slender pickled onions on top. They were served with a tiny bit of slaw that I thought really complimented the slider. MR T was in the mood for wings & made the unfortunate decision to order the "scorching" hot level. He drank several beers, two waters & helped himself to my water too. Next time, perhaps the "hot" would be a better idea, although he declared them very flavorful. I think he was only able to eat 4 before he surrendered. The fries were perfection, crispy on the outside & seasoned ideally. We are these until we literally couldn't eat anymore. We visited around 2ish on a Monday and there were only about 4 other patrons that came & went, and one lady came & placed a to-go order. Our bartender seemed to be the only front of house present & he was friendly & helpful. He was quick on our refills & the food came quickly too. He was chatty when we invoked a conversation but never overstayed his visits to our table. A smooth & relaxing experience which we plan on doing again when we're back in NYC.

    Been here a few times. Always great drink selection (sours, ciders, micro-brews etc) but their food is even better. Doesn't get jam packed, great throw back music - alternative 90's was on when we went on a Saturday night and I wanted to sing to every song! Very laid back chill vibe. Definitely a local chill spot!

    I am appalled by the reviews of this place. We stopped by due to the advertised bottomless brunch. We ordered 2 orders of bottomless mimosas, light OJ. The mimosas were all OJ. I didn't even finish one. I asked for a carafe of just champagne, couldn't do it unless I bought a bottle. So this far we are $40 deep in awful drinks that I can't even swallow bc it's all OJ. We got nachos and chicken fingers. Nachos were not good. Chicken fingers could have been good (breading was) but massively over cooked and chewy. $78 for half a drink each and two 1/4 eaten meals.

    Stopped by here for happy hour on a quiet Wednesday afternoon. Small basement location with no one else inside, so was able to take a seat at any table and go through the scannable menu. Both the draft beers and small bites are $6 each during happy hour. Decided on the "Idyll Days" Pilsener ($6) to go along with the BBQ Meatballs ($6). The meatballs are six to an order - miniature in size, but dense and smothered in BBQ sauce. Very tangy and the grilled onions didn't really add much, though overall fine to pair with the beer. Bartender/waitress was really nice as she explained the happy hour and got out the food quickly. Looks like a solid place for after-work beers as there are TVs abound broadcasting sports.

    No line but the food is just okay! Came here for bottomless brunch because the horny ram had too long of a line. I got the eggs Benedict- home fries were great but the waffle with poached eggs was mediocre. The mimosa had wayyy too much OJ in it. Service was super friendly! When my friend's burger was undercooked they did not even hesitant to replace it! 5 stars for service but food is not worth mentioning....

    As I scroll back through my oodles of pictures, I almost skipped right over the ones from The Stag's Head. I can't be entirely blamed for practically forgetting to review this place. It wasn't because of a nasty experience. On the contrary, we had a pretty 3.5ish star (rounded down) time. One big reason was probably due to an open bar (and now you understand). You see it was back in February when my buddy had a birthday to celebrate and with work chums from the city and childhood friends on the isle, we decided to travel to the urban jungle as that's where he chose to throw his shindig. Most specifically, at The Stag's Head. More specifically, because of a package deal that included (some) drinks and (a little) food for two hours. It was relatively worth it. I say relatively because our "space" was not too spacious. Things got cramped pretty quickly with people not from our party sitting ever-so-close to our designated area. For a deal like the one we paid for, you would've thought Stag's should have had something a little more...private. The other downer was the beer selection (actually, this was also a positive so hear me out). What was shown on the menu (and part of our package) faired nicely for the craft beer scene...until you were told what they were out of. It was a tad of a "wind out of your sails" kind of moment a few times. Maybe erase those options from the board? Beyond those negatories, the good stuff made for a pretty fun evening. This included a few tasty finger food selections (sliders and such) and beer that actually was available (Grimm and Sloop being two quality breweries with something on tap). I'll also give it to the staff who were on top of their game for our slotted party time. They kept the drinks comin' quick and the grub rolling out at a pleasant pace. Overall, why three stars? I guess because Stag's is small and honestly, maybe it is kind of forgettable (open bar or not). The place has decent style, service, food, and drinks, but I can't say I'd gravitate to them when in the city again (definitely not for a party). Perhaps you'll enjoy things more fully if you go, but for me, I'll just reiterate a 3.5 for Stag's Head, in case you forgot (har har).

    First things first, this is one of the best places me and my friend found during our NYC hangouts . They have a great selection of beers and cocktails. Prices look good,friendly staff and the crowd seems descent. We ordered some food as well. The food was good and filling . Initially we thought to reach during happy hour time to explore more of their menu. Even without happy hour ,the price seemed great.

    Triple Bean Veggie Burger

    Met my parents here for lunch. Do you think that watering down soap is sufficient criteria to dock a star? I'm toying with the idea. Nice try management but I'll just pump it 500 times now. I actually decided on this place bc their brunch looked dope but the waitress informed me that was just a weekend affair. Fortunately this place also has lunch specials. Double check me, either 11 or 12 bucks (reasons for my confusion explained below) for a few entree options (regular burger, veggie burger, shepherd's pie and fish and chips). Lunch spesh's come with a half pint of beer. Their beer options are crafty, website says "have a craft beer with the deer". I love a good rhyme, don't you? I settled on, in fact me and my parents all settled on the veggie burger. It's more of a bean burger actually and much to my delight, not oniony. I also ordered the cream ale. So did my dad. Ugh, they always copy me. After announcing to us that he was not going to cave to my mom's healthy-lifestyle-diet pressuring bullshit (that I ignore) he ordered a salad as his side. My mom actually asked if the bun was necessary, she saw it on another table and told the waitress it was yucky (by yucky she means refined carbs). She, (as John Oliver says) "and this true", sent me an email yesterday about "how to keep your arteries supple". This is my life. I elected for a healthy dose of saturated fat and got fries. My post-vacation-literally-eat-every-single-thing diet is going great as you can see. Waitress asked me if I wanted Cajun fries or regular to which I literally to her face replied "is that even a question?" I was going to go further with a long joke but you understand my point. Cream ale was amazing. Even my dad enjoyed it and he usually only likes light beers aka water. I actually ordered a whole pint. Veggie burger was DELISH. My BAC started creeping up at this point so details are fuzzy but that cheese and white sauce shit was super tasty. I took off the top bun as a compromise and slathered it with ketchup and mustard. I like my condiments, ok? Cajun fries were so orgasmic there's not much else I can say. When I start saying these kinds of things you can tell I'm running out of creative energy. I wonder if Cajun seasoning would be good on ice cream. Waitress was really nice, service was great. Talking about service unless it's obnoxiously bad is boring, isn't it? Weird thing is my dad and I were charged a dollar extra for our beer but it was supposed to be included. After inquiring, waitress said something about how our lunches were $12? I thought it was 11? Perhaps the cream ale interfered with my comprehension. I thought this was weird. Strangely my parents weren't as into their lunch as I was, they said it was just alright. Perhaps bc I'm a vegetarian and have no bar for comparing veggie burger to meat or bc they got the salad. Seriously if you come here, get those fucking Cajun fries.

    Been going to this place for over 7 years at this point. They always have great beers on tap(beer lovers rejoice, ask for samples if you're unsure), the servers are knowledgable, and the food is good. If there's anything you're unhappy about, speak to the servers. They want to make sure you're happy when you're in this place. As a hispanic person, i really love their authentic Cuban Sandwich. Btw their Philly cheese steak rolls kick ass. Make sure to try them. I've never eaten anything I hated at this place and if there's something wrong, call the server over, they will graciously fix it and make sure you're happy. This place is great for groups and casual nights out in NYC. It is loud, but thats what you should expect from a pub.

    Kale Cobb salad
    Alina V.

    Great sports bar in midtown. I've gone a few times now for dinner and happy hour and they never disappoint. Recently they've had an amazing cherry sour on tap (crooked stave mama bears sour cherry pie) that is definitely a must try if you're into sour beers. As for the food, I've tried the fried pickles, amazing and perfectly crispy and delicious, and the spinach and artichoke dip for appetizers. The dip is great, very cheesy and I love that it comes with thinly sliced toasted bread instead of chips. It's a great sharing appetizer for the table. I've also had the kale cob salad which comes with kale, grilled chicken, bacon, gorgonzola, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, egg, and avacado with a lemon vinaigrette. The salad is quite big and it's very good! My friends also got the classic burger and the chicken wrap and they both enjoyed it very much! Overall a great spot for dinner or happy hour!

Both failed epically. The bone marrow was inedible as it was like cold custard. Escargot had zero flavor and a real lack of garlic and good butter. Tasted more like vegetable oil than good butter. We shared the lobster pasta entree. Tasted more like Mexican goulash. No Italian flavors to be found in the sauce. Never once did the nameless waiter stop and inquire about our meal. Just all around a poor experience and a disappointing Friday night. There are far better places that appreciate your patronage. We will not be coming back. Not worth it.

Ambiance: This place has a nice ambiance, definitely very "New York" -- dark (you can't see how dirty the floor is) and loud music (maybe too loud). We sat upstairs (we had a reservation) and of all the people on the top there was a party of 4 (us), a party of 8 (all dudes celebrating something) and the rest of the tables were on a DATE - which I thought was funny. Service: We were served by Ann-Marie who was so delightful. She was kind, super nice, and took the time to speak to us (which is basically how we figured out she wasn't a native New York City person). She gave us good food suggestions and we were very happy with our selection. Food: Here is what we ordered * Steak Frites: My two boys got the steak frites and I have to say the steak was awesome! I had a bite of each of theirs and they each ordered it differently (one Medium Rare/Medium and one Medium) and they both were prepared PERFECTLY. The fries were overflowing. * Caeser Salad with Salmon: My wife got the salad with Salmon (they only have a few salad options) and she enjoyed it. * Prawn and Crab Risotto: I got this and I have to say it was VERY bland. I wouldn't get this if you are looking for taste. I had to put salt and pepper on it to make it have any semblance of taste. Value/Price: I would say this is not over priced but it is not cheap either...bill is attached. I would recommend it to folks who are looking for a good place to either go out on a date or a family type meal.

Would I come back for brunch again? Very unlikely. But, it does seem like a pretty "safe choice" if you need a last minute reservation for a group.

The buttermilk tenders is supposed to come with pickled shallots and marinated green beans. We didn't get the pickled shallots or the marinated green beans, which was a shame. The chicken tenders by themselves didn't have much flavor. It also is unfortunate paying $17 for what was considered a small plate and just getting the chicken tenders. The Asian-sesame wings were okay. Also, didn't have much flavor and weren't that impressive. There was also still hair on some of the pieces of chicken, so the chicken could have been cleaned better. They have fries and hand cut fries. The regular fries were soggy. Should have went with the hand cut fries. The tater tots were okay. I was told that the chicken sandwich was good.

I arrived in 2008 with very little, and when Graydon Carter revived the restaurant in 2009, I was beginning a rise of my own, first at a large global bank and then, to my astonishment, at one of the city's most powerful investment firms. The suits were daily, the walls were gold, and the pressure was so consuming that even success could feel like a form of attrition. After a few years, I moved to a smaller firm with Southern roots, where the culture was more humane, the work gave me greater autonomy, and I produced some of the strongest results of my career, even within an industry still governed by fear, greed, and status. Inside, the red booths, low lighting, generous spacing, and hand-painted monkey murals made lunch feel ceremonial without becoming stiff. The room was timeless and handsome, with polished service, quality food, and the subtle assurance of a place where you could be proud to bring someone important. I especially remember sitting in one of those booths with two mentors, each only a few years older than I was and therefore close enough in vintage to feel relatable, trustworthy, and genuinely within reach. One had entered my life after I left the larger firm and helped me understand an earlier chapter that had also ended abruptly and, at the time, felt deeply unfair; the other had guided me through the smaller firm where I finally found a more sustainable way to work. Over that long lunch, I introduced them, we discussed several promising ideas, and for a moment my career seemed to have reached the point where relationships, experience, and opportunity were finally converging. One of those ideas consumed an extraordinary amount of my time and energy, and I believed it might become the foundation of my next chapter. Instead, the arrangement eventually turned on me, the role I thought I had earned never materialized, and the business itself sputtered. My professional life, financial footing, and pride all collapsed just as COVID was beginning. Then Monkey Bar closed in 2020, which made the ending feel almost unnervingly complete: the restaurant, the city, and the version of myself built around New York finance all went dark at once. For years, I experienced that ending as devastating and unfair; now I can see it as wisdom delivered through an unnecessarily rough process. The restaurant's later revival by a Chicago hospitality group feels fitting because it still honors tradition and ceremony while allowing the old forms to evolve into something healthier, looser, and more current. I have not been back since that lunch, but a return now would feel like visiting the museum of my past, not reclaiming a life that asked too much, gave too little, and finally lost its hold on me. Even now, I remember Monkey Bar as a great Midtown lunch in a memorable room, surrounded by the residue of old ambitions and the gratitude of having survived them. The cocktails were sharp, the service was impeccable, and the dining room carried that glamorous old New York energy without feeling trapped by it. I remain deeply fond of the place, partly for what it was and partly for what it witnessed. Some restaurants become attached to a chapter of your life, and Monkey Bar holds mine with unusual grace.

The flavor was flawless, and while the portion was small (which was acceptable), the pool of broth accompanying it was completely unnecessary; it was inedibly salty, so what was the point of serving it? After finishing the fish, I was left with a plate full of broth, rendering the plate unusable. Plus, it was overpriced; for this dish, you're better off going to Strip House Strip House remains the undisputed king of this dish in New York. A friend ordered the chicken parmesan. It was just average. Another friend ordered the short rib stroganoff. The flavor was decent, but it was far too rich and heavy. As someone whose palate is split 50/50 between Western and Chinese cuisine, I could manage only five bites at most. If you have a palate that prefers 100% Chinese food, proceed with caution on this dish. Friends ordered sides of mac & cheese and mashed potatoes. These are dishes originally meant for low-income Americans to fill up on cheaply; there's no limit to how good they can be, but also no floor to how bad they can get. Both were on par with the average quality found in upscale restaurants. Honestly, these are two dishes I would never order myself. To sum up: the atmosphere was great. It's also hard to get a reservation; the place was packed when we had lunch at 2 PM. Aside from that monkey bread, I didn't feel like anything else justified the price or offered something you couldn't find elsewhere. I don't quite get the hype. Perhaps I just didn't order the right dishes; maybe next time I'll try the burger and the steak.

    There's two ways to enter this restaurant. They do in fact have a main door facing 53rd street. If…read moreyou're already inside MoMA, there's a separate door by security. They have to let you in. I didn't have a reservation, but was seated immediately. Win! I really should've asked questions instead of going rogue. My intention was to do the lunch prix fixe menu. The menu on the table was a la carte. This did however work out better for me as I had limited time since I was catching a broadway show. Started with the olives then followed with the hot dogs and closed with the gem lettuce. They did come at different times. This gave me the perfect time to nibble slowly. The olives paired perfectly with the salad. The hot dogs were my favorite. The whole meal was perfectly balanced for me. Just have to mention how amazing the service was. No table had anything waiting to be taken away because there was always someone walking around. At one point, one of the guys clocked I had just finished drinking my water and within seconds he was at my table refilling my glass. I mean c'mon. Will took great care of me. He even suggested the dessert I ended up getting which was the peach cruller. I'm gonna try to come back to do the lunch tasting before I go back home to LA.

    Came here during restaurant week. 3 courses for $60. The bread you get at the start was quite nice…read more And the standout for me was the steak tartare. Bursting with flavor and the potatoes made for a nice variation of textures. Salmon with endive salad was also great. Salmon skin was cooked perfectly. Only thing I wasn't crazy about was the corn gelato. Just didn't taste like much and the peaches I found didn't really play well with the dish for me. Overall though, service was top notch and you can't beat the upscale vibe. Would definitely recommend this for restaurant week experiences if you're looking to get a fine dining taste at a reduced cost. Portions felt reasonable for the quality and left full (far from bursting, but definitely not hungry at all).

Food was delicious, wines were excellent, dining was fabulous. I love dining out and there was no rush. There were various settings to choose, from quiet dark dining, to patio, to group.

The restaurant is…read moreelegant, beautifully designed, and has a lively atmosphere that's perfect for a date night, celebration, or a nice dinner in the city. The service was exceptional. The hostess was welcoming, our waitress was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, and the support staff kept everything running smoothly throughout the evening. We took several of our server's recommendations and were happy with every one. What we ordered: * Butter Service Garni * Dressed Big Rock Oysters * Yellowtail Crudo * Filet Mignon with Pommes Purée * Nutella Opéra Cake Everything was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly, the pommes purée were rich and incredibly smooth, and the Nutella Opéra Cake was the perfect way to end the meal. The only thing I'd mention is that the restrooms are located down a fairly long flight of stairs. If you're wearing heels, have a stroller, or have mobility limitations, it's something to be aware of. Overall, this was a fantastic experience with excellent food, attentive service, and a beautiful atmosphere. I'd gladly return and would recommend Quality Bistro to anyone looking for an upscale French dining experience.

    Bartley Dunnes! The employees here showed us love and a great time! My cousin and I came here after…read morea small concert up the street. Thanks to my fellow Yelpers, I was lead to this great spot for a late dinner and cocktails on a Friday night. The hostess was really friendly and quicky sat us at a two seater near the bar, which we appreciated. The ambiance was light and friendly and they even had a DJ playing all the good jams! I think I danced a bit, (definitely liquid courage). The DJ read the room and created a fun ambiance. The waitress came over a few minutes later and quickly took our drink and meal order. We ordered the Tuna Crispy Rice ( Yum), Guinness Wager Sliders (Nom Nom), Korean Chicken Boas (My Favorite!) and Carnitas Tacos.....I'm embarrassed to admit that we cleaned our plates like a couple of savages. Bartley Dunnes is a great choice to come solo, meet up with friends or come as a group of no more than 4, unless you make a reservation. They have a second floor that I unfortunately didn't get a chance to check out, so I can't write about that. However, I did see people coming and going straight up. I'll be back!

They have a great happy hour running from open until 8 PM, including $6 beers and $8 cocktails, which is a great deal for the area. ordered the Bartleys Spritz (Aperol Spritz) and a Tequila Mule. We sat at the bar, which runs about half the length of the space, and there were also plenty of tables throughout. The back section of the bar feels a bit separated from the main entrance area. There are some TVs throughout, and everything inside seemed fairly new and well maintained. It was not very crowded on a Tuesday early evening, so service was quick and the staff was very friendly. We did not order food this time, but everything coming out of the kitchen looked and smelled great. Overall, I would definitely recommend this spot for happy hour drinks in the MoMA/Midtown West area.
