    A highlight for my cousins and I in our primos weekend trip!! Typical dive bar, didn't try the food but it looked good. We were bar hoping all day. Super busy day but our server was sweet and always checked up on us to get our drinks flowing. Then she surprised us all with green tea shots for my cousins birthday & a big jade crystal (iykykkkkk )

    So. Running around in nyc. Hungry for some bar food. Look up this place. Thanks to yelper friends who left reviews. It's a really fun spot. Playing 90s rock music. Tv on. It's pretty loud. But nice ambience. Great staff fast service. Good food. It's also a small nightclub after hours And they have outdoor seating. Try if you in the area.

    Date: Wednesday, May 7th, 2025 Time: around 7:30pm My group of 4 stopped by for a bday get together in the back room. It was pretty crowded when we arrived, but we headed straight to the back. They had grabbed some tables in the corner as there were a fair amount of people here already. There was a TV which was great as it was during the NBA Conference Semifinals and the Knicks were playing. We partly went up to the bar and grabbed drinks and partly ordered from a server. I think there were some fries in the mix as well. I know one of my friends saw the specials at the bar, so we did end up with their shot of the day, cocktail of the day, etc. When it came time to order from he server, I wanted a spicy margarita so got that. I know I was handed pours of jameson at some point as well. Vibe is as expected during sporting event. Bustling and fun. REVIEW #3767

    Opens at noon, & food is served from noon to midnight. Good selection of salads, & the beef chili was great. The wings were only mid, but you can't win them all? No German pils on tap, but the Stella was cold & very fresh. Good vibes in here at all times, day & night, & great mix of all types of people from all walks of life vibing together. The world needs ALOT more of this right now! Clean inside, & very friendly & attentive staff, & fair prices.

    Wow talk about walking into a time capsule. This establishment brings you back to the 70 's . I ordered a old fashion and was not disappointed . Collin the bartender really made me feel like I was at that cheers bar where everyone knew each others for years. Definitely felt the love . The prices are what you expect from Manhattan. The decor like I said is a throw back to when drinking was all everyone did. The patrons are friendly. please do your self a favor and stop in and have something to eat which looks so delicious and a drink you will leave with a smile.

    I'm celebrating my birthday!!

    OMG, this place was amazing! I finally understand why they asked for my name--and I loved the surprise (peep the pic!). The friendly vibes, delicious food, and impressive whiskey list were absolutely on point. I stopped in before a Broadway show, and it was the perfect way to kick off my time in NYC! I only wish I could have stayed longer! Next time!!

    While in town for a team meeting, my colleague and I went to grab some pre-dinner drinks. I like a good "dive bar" and the Whiskey Tavern checked off that box for me. As we sat down in one of the booths, our waiter came over right away, introduced himself to us and also asked for our names. I thought that that was a nice touch already but what later happened would certainly exceed my expectations... Anyway, we started drinking and chatting, ordering some snacks and then...at some point...I look up and see a sign that reads: Happy Monday, Uli & PJ. I really was surprised as I have no idea when they hung that up! Really, really loved this personal touch! Oh...and they rounded up our evening with a free tequila shot! Nice one!

    Great location in Chinatown, nice surprise open early in the day. Service is outstanding. Great place to visit after lunch around the corner. Drinks were made well, beer was cold. Music was fine, DJ was spinning tunes in the evening.

    Stumbled in here after our company holiday party. It was just the vibe we were looking for! We ended up sitting in the back room. It was kind of quiet but still had music playing, lots of Christmas decorations. It was perfect! We ordered a bunch - quesadillas, tater tots and chicken fingers. It was just what we needed. And some shots (which we probably didn't need lol). I'd definitely come here again.

    You will never not have a good time here. Every single employee makes you feel special, every visit! Great drinks and food, fair prices. You can't help but dance, laugh and sing along because the DJ is great, always!

    Stopped in to get out of the cold on a girls trip to NYC, after shopping on Canal street hoping for a place to warm up without spending a ton. Coming from Austin; we love a good dive bar and this is exactly that. A GREAT atmosphere, the bar tenders were fast and so nice, made us feel right at home never like an outsider! Michelada was great as well. Highly recommend this place! 1000/10!!

The expansion into the building next door tripled the Taproom, and the crowds tripled with it. Here's the thing though. The Irish Coffee is still the best in America. Served warm, not scalding, cream whipped to order and floated so it sits like a lid. Three tables around me ordered rounds at 2pm and nobody was wrong. The Parlor upstairs is where the actual bar still lives. Sixteen cocktails you can't get downstairs, table service, relative quiet. Downstairs, skip the fried chicken (it's tenders, whatever the menu says) and get the fish and chips, which are honest. Service was fast and a little impersonal, which is what happens when your ground floor is 60 percent tourists photographing the dollar bills on the ceiling. The 1828 building still does a lot of work, low ceilings and all. Is it the world's best bar anymore? No, and half the old bar team has scattered to open their own spots around town, Limo in the East Village being the latest. But a Guinness and an Irish Coffee here on a weekday afternoon is still one of the better hours you can spend below Chambers. Book the Parlor, treat the Taproom as the warmup.
