    Came here for drinks with friends. We were seated right away. It was like 10 of us and the waitress was very attentive. She took our orders and no one waited long for their food or drink. I had a beer and honey sriracha wings. The beer was served cold just how I like it. The wings came out hot and fresh. They were very flavorful and not overly saucy. The spice level is below average for me so your tongue won't be burning. I would go back there just for that. Their peppers were good too. It's a good hangout spot for afterwork and service was great.

    Turtle Bay Tavern is a solid joint! We enjoyed a delicious dinner, opting for a booth in the back of the restaurant. We shared the shishito peppers, followed by the spicy rigatoni and tavern burger. The french fries that accompanied the burger were perfection. Overall Turtle Bay Tavern delivers on food, service, and atmosphere. Repeat customer for sure!

    Cute bar! Cute location! Tons of seating! It was pretty dead which is nice if want to have conversations. Great music played! Service was mediocre. Server made us feel rushed and didn't check on us unless we called him to our table. It was only us and 4 other people in the place. This seems to be common in New York places? Once we ordered, the food was great! We ordered the burger and the nachos. The burger was very tasty!

    In town staying nearby. Came to see the final four game. Lots of TVs available to watch the game. Wasn't crowed so service was quick and attentive. No complaints from the group on drinks. This is me being picky but would have liked a large single ice cube for old fashioned vs multi ice cubes.

    Such a great bar seeing and drinking!! Perfect space and very air, great crowed , lightning just perfect! Bar itself beautiful, great selection of spirits, very handsome Irish guys working the bar, but the cocktails and food even better than I just had mentioned everything above. I love that is just few steps from my house. They will see me very often!

    Nachos

    Rockin' new spot in Midtown East pouring cold pints and serving hot tasty food. The aesthetic lends a sense of cleanliness that I really appreciate. I was very impressed with their classic pub burger, and the chili nachos were also satisfying (could've used maybe a little more cheese and chili though). I received great service from the bartender and was amused by the sports event happening on TV; some kind of modern day chariot racing? Prices are average for the neighborhood, so not cheap, but I was happy with what I got for my money.

    This neighborhood spot is so great. We went recently and it was decorated so beautifully for the holidays. The service was great and the food was so tasty. This place definitely gives slightly elevated tavern vibes but still casual and a great place to hangout. Can't wait to go back!

    chicken & waffles
    Nicole G.

    The service was awesome, we went right before the rush for brunch started and they got all our meals out timely! the chicken and waffles and avocado toast were the favorites at the table + the mozz sticks. Surprisingly the burgers were disappointing which was unexpected for a tavern. The ambiance is what you'd expect with a tavern/pub type place with most tables being high tops which I don't prefer.

    Burger

    Enjoyed checking out this new tavern. Great ambiance and we had a large group and didn't feel crowded. Drinks were great. Burger I'd pass on. It was alright but nothing special really. Cheese sticks were fantastic, extra thick, perfect crunch but not too heavily breaded, and a spicy red sauce for dipping. Very loud inside. Expect to shout to talk to the person next to you. Great vibe and staff is top notch. Would return.

    I am in love with this place! This place is so cozy and vibrant!

    I am in love with this place! This place is so cozy and vibrant. The staff is great, they very responsive and friendly, and last but least they have great and amazing burgers and others dishes as well. I highly recommend to visit Turtle Bay Tavern in NYC!

    Amazing ambiance, great music and better drinks!
    Gloria R.

    Love the new Turtle Bay Tavern! The neighborhood needed a good bar that is easy to pop into any time of the day. Servers were all very attentive, music was amazing and this will be a place we will go often! So excited for everyone to experience this amazing new neighborhood staple.

    As you can see the receipt says "to go"

They have a…read moretight draft selection that rotates pretty often, and a pretty good can collection in the fridge. The staff have always been friendly and extremely knowledgeable; it is really handy when you can say you live in San Francisco, what do you have that I can only get out here? You can tell it is a good place in Hell's Kitchen/Times Square when stage hands and actors actually come by after (definitely not between) their shows. They also have whiskeys available here as a sidecar; definitely do not try and order any other liquors, the back of their staff shirt makes that clear. For food, I've only ever had the cheese curds because I obviously have a problem and can't get them at many places in SF. The portions are large and the prices reasonable. My only feedback to them is maybe offer some large format bottle pours on busy nights so people can try some of the more obscure options.

    There is beer. There is whisky…read more There are some small pub bites. That is it. ...and it is perfect! Came here to get away from the faux feeling of midtown glitz. Got a nice dose of dive bar and it was exactly what I was looking for. The place is small, it is loud, there is a good selection of beers on tap and some more on bottles/cans from the fridge. Bartenders are just the right amount of "if you're not a regular you're fine but you're not special" and chatty friendly. What you'd expect from a hole in the wall with decently cheap beer (compared to just a block or two over).

Check-in was quick and easy, and even though it was a full house for a Saturday night, we were still able to find seats without an issue. The space was definitely lively and a bit crowded, but there was still enough room to move around comfortably. Our bartender was really sweet and made great drinks , the cranberry vodka and Long Island were both spot on. We didn't pay extra for the additional glasses to smash, but the six cups included were enough to make the experience fun and satisfying for a casual night. I can see why people would want to buy a full bucket though as it definitely adds to the excitement. The crowd was respectful, and the bathrooms were decently clean, which is always a plus. Overall, a great spot for an stress-relieving, spontaneous night out!

I wish we had the option for a booth especially since my friend is really short but we got a high top. Server was very attentive and transparent. Our original server was on break so we had another server take our drinks, appetizers and entree orders. She brought the drink and appetizer and our main server brought out entrees. I felt they were both great servers and very friendly. We also got dessert, everything was delicious. Food was also reasonably priced. We also were able to use a coupon code for the appetizer which was great. This location is very nice and clean. My only suggestion is to have someone check the downstairs bathroom a bit more.

I totally understand that as a business it makes more sense to take the larger group. However no reason for you management staff to be completely rude about especially on such short notice. I called to find out a solution as the message said we could show up a half hour later than our original reservations and was transfered to a manager. Who ever the manager was on 5/17/26 at about 8 pm said ya they got the place from 2 pm good luck . I tried to ask if we could show up a halfhour later than planed as the voicemail indicated but he blew it off and was being very rude about the whole situation so if figured I do not want to give this company anymore money moving forward so I found another restrauant. Shame is now I wont visit the one in Texas where I live either.
