    NYC Trivia League

    NYC Trivia League

    Chelsea, Midtown West, Hell's Kitchen

    NYC Trivia League is the absolute best trivia league I've played in across multiple states and…read morecities! Back when games were in person, you could find an NYC Trivia League game on any day of the week in multiple areas--the hosts are friendly and fun and the questions are challenging and diverse (from Shakespeare to Real Housewives)! They even have league standings and playoffs! How cool!!! What has been even more amazing is their tenacity through these really challenging COVID times. NYC Trivia League has kept me sane with quizzes 3-4 times per week that are absolutely FREE! What a wonderful organization for giving us something to do and a way to virtually gather our friends together. I recently hired them for a private virtual birthday trivia event and it was an AMAZING time! Friends joined from all over the country and were so impressed at how well run the game was and how incredibly fun! They even tailored so many questions to my favorite things--I CANNOT RECOMMEND THEM MORE! Please support this amazing organization virtually and when they are back in bars!

    I had the BEST experience working with NYC Trivia League for my 30th birthday! Meredith was super…read moreresponsive from my first inquiry and really held my hand through the whole process as my event took shape. She was even familiar with the venue I was using and was able to provide specific A/V advice and guidance. She helped me add personalized bonus questions, and flawlessly incorporated my list of general interests into every round! The difficulty level was perfect and everyone participating had an amazing time. Everything took place seamlessly during the event - our host, Jude, was so professional, prepared, and helpful. She even paused for cake and took a group photo for us! The time flew and I am already plotting out what my next excuse for a trivia party will be :)

Worth stopping by if you're in the West Village! Food: 4 Drinks: 5 Service: 4 Value: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Food: Surprisingly good. We shared the chicken quesadilla. It was filled to the filled to the brim and delicious. They cooked it perfectly with the edges getting extra crispy like a tortilla chip. I didn't have high expectations for a place thats primarily a bar, but this blew me away all things considered. Drinks: Best taproom in the city. 20+ premium options. They have an awesome selection of beers, including some local options. They have wine and liquor too, but you should focus on the beer. This is the place to go for a good draught. Service: Servers are friendly and down to earth. They're great at suggesting different beers. Value: Not cheap, but not bad. Beers are $8-10 (pretty much market price in the West Village) and food is a decent bargain given how much food you get. Atmosphere: Its a cross between an old school pub and a sports bar. Its dark and 90% male (my wife always comments on how male heavy it is) but I think it has a good vibe. Good beer, good food options, and friendly servers.

    This place is a historical gem! I have been going here for over 20 years and every time I go in, no…read morematter what the crowd is or who the new bartenders are, I feel like I never left! The crowd is pretty young, but as a mid-40s, I don't feel out of place. The bartenders are knowledgable and always helpful in making decisions. Why they didn't get 5-stars: This is actually a 4.5-star place and only gets dinged 1/2 star is that is can be hard to get a table or a spot to be. It's a very small venue, so be prepared to stand around a bit. That's it, great beers, good vibes, still a great spot!!!

    The Long Hall Pub & Grocery - Pint of Guinness

The bar had incredible wooden vibes and the music was perfect. I didn't eat but the guy next to me was eating some buffalo wings that looked like solid bar wings.

    The Long Hall Pub is exactly what you want in an Irish pub. The people working here are good folks…read moreand the atmosphere can be uniquely Irish, given they had a few musicians performing and playing Irish tunes live. This particular Sunday, the crowd was a bit animated with the World Cup Final match between victorious Spain over Argentina. I saddled up at the bar and ordered a Guinness on tap poured with the right amount of head on top. It's a good tap here. I ordered the Irish Chicken Curry served half and half with white rice and French fries. It's a substantial serving for about $27 and a good value for Midtown. Strips of white meat chicken with a curry sauce that is more sweet than spicy, but certainly not overly sweet. The rice melded nicely with the sauce, which resembles gravy. The fries take on a poutine like character with the curry sauce and these are good fries on their own. I ordered another Guinness and ordered a Shepherd's pie and Irish beef stew to go, both around $25. The Shepherd's pie is as one would expect, with a thick layer of mashed potatoes over the beef. The Irish beef stew has plenty of carrot and celery chunks and some onions in a gravy with a modest amount of beef chunks over mashed potatoes. I found they go well together heated in a Pyrex dish in the oven. I found the meat in the Irish beef stew to be ironically wanting for such an eponymously named dish, but it is still quite good, with the beef tender and moist in the gravy. This is comfort food to the max. Service is great here. The atmosphere is great and what's not to like at The Long Hall. The bar is well stocked and the kitchen is up to the task, serving up what people like at a decent rate for Midtown. I would only ask to bump up the beef in the beef stew. 3.9 returnworthy stars!

    I had been wondering about this bar for some time. I had kept passing it and it looks super cute…read moreand teeny weenie and brick interior just nestled on a side street of lower Chelsea. I'm going to quickly get to the downside because there are a lot of minuses with this bar. The beer is grossly over-priced. Ridiculously over-priced and most of everything on tap or in can is nothing special. Other Half IPAs aren't made of liquid gold. They honestly taste like plastic bags. There is no reason that they should be price marked at $12-14 a pop. But then on the other hand you have an interesting sounding cocktail menu with most drinks no more than $14-15. How are the cocktails the same price as the beer?! Where did I wake up today? They also charge you for charging your phone on a little dinky machine that was plopped next to me on the bar and they apparently charge $5 for playing trivia? None of these things make sense to me in my brain. I can do all of the above for free at any other place. Moving on to the pluses, I intended to only stay for 1 drink (I went the cocktail route obviously because I'm not about to pay double the price for a beer) but we surprisingly were caught up in a feel good moment and stayed for 3 rounds. The ambiance is nice. It feels homey. Like in the sense that I'm in an ultra expensive little nook in Brooklyn that perhaps used to be a little bookshop vibe but then you're paying Manhattan prices. We ordered for the most part Old Fashioneds and the last drink I switched things up and tried their RoseBud: Vodka and house-made rosewater lemonade. The mix was unique. It was sweet and salty and a little floral but not too overwhelming. Delightful cocktails. Happy hour I think is $2 off of drinks but it ends early at 6pm. I didn't explore the food menu but it seems medium priced of burgers, sandwiches, fries, etc. Worth a spot checking out but I wouldn't be a regular. Key word is laid back and cozy.
