The service was attentive, friendly and we enjoyed our dinner. The food was very good. We enjoyed watching sports, too!

I had a very bad experience with this bar. They OVERCHARGED me on my credit card statement. The female bartender was rude to the rest of the people in my group when we were trying to patiently order drinks. I've seen other reviews in this Yelp forum talk about the same bartender. She overcharged my group and was not recognizing the fault in her wrongdoing. And still, in my credit card bill, it was overcharged and incorrect. Trying to correct it with cash and still overcharging on my credit card is disappointing and frustrating. Disappointing. read more

Nothing to really write home about. I came here during the afternoon to grab a few drinks with some friends so didn't try out the food. The front reminds me of the flatiron building. Ordered a couple of beers and they were good but not great. Nothing about the place made me want to stay longer than that. Good location for a meeting point but the place felt crowded even though there wasn't a crowd. With a ton of options in the area, come if it's convenient. But don't see any other major reasons than that read more

Such a fun dive bar in the South St., Seaport area absolutely fantastic drinks and a really unique vibe. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

After Sunset Salsa, I came here with a small group of friends. I immediately liked the interior decor of pretty fairy lights on the ceiling, the lovely bar area, and booth seating, along with brick walls and cool hanging lights. I decided to order the grilled salmon club (with the bread untoasted since I had a root canal), while all my friends went for the Tuesday Taco Special which was pulled pork and came with rice with beans... All for only $5! I tried a little bit of the tacos and it was quite tasty - The pork was tender and marinated in a yummy, flavorful sauce. When my meal came, it was completely wrong: Chicken club and the bread was toasted so it had to be remade. This took a while and the ingredients looked fresh so they most likely recreated the whole thing. The sandwich was sliced into 4 small pieces and there were a ton of french fries in the center. There was barely any salmon and way too much bread. The salmon that was there was delicious though - Juicy, flaky and slightly crispy. The bacon, as well as the lettuce and tomato, added a wonderful crunch. The french fries were also very good. Well- seasoned, fried to perfection and full of pure potato taste. The service was decent, even though my order was messed up. Our waitress was pleasant and friendly. I would come back for the Taco Special on Tuesday, which was such a lovely deal! read more

Good place for large groups with room to improve. The female wait staff and bartenders are overwhelmingly rude and b**chy. The food is good and so are the drinks but customer service is beyond lacking in this establishment. The "you can only order from the waitstaff while sitting at a table" policy is nonsensical and confusing as a dive place such as this. This establishment won't get another penny out of me given the way my co-workers and I were treated by the night staff. A word to the owners- throw your bartenders and servers (the female ones in particular) in the trash and start fresh with people who are warm and welcoming. Eliminate the table service and allow people to just order at the bar, grab a seat and bus the food. *I will say that there was one female bartender/server during the early shift (about 4pm) who was patient and lovely while serving our very large group. The evening staff were complete and total a**holes. read more

Bad bad bad there's really nothing good to say. It is an international pandemic, businesses are hurting, why would you hurt yourself even further by making bad food and having rude waitresses?? I ordered the nachos & the lime margarita it's hard to go wrong with nachos and it's hard to go wrong with a margarita I am very disappointed in you. If you're desperate and there's absolutely nowhere else to eat I highly recommend it. Nothing tasted fresh either. read more

THIS place is the WORST! Th bartender was SO RUDE AND WOULD NOT SERVE ANYONE! She was black out drunk and couldn't handle herself.

I waited 30 minutes to get in on Saturday night to have to leave within 20 minutes. The capacity of people in this place does not exist. Impossible to get a drink impossible to move. This is place is a health issue and honestly surprised people were not passing out. How can you just keep letting people into such a tiny place ? If you want to know what it feels like being a human sardine go here. If not, there are better bars. Not worth it at all. A waste of time. I think i got elbowed in back over 20 times. read more

not good. the bouncer kicked me out because I was sneaking in underage. and one of the customers grabbed me and helped the bouncer.

I absolutely love it here! The staff are all so friendly and the food is always great. It's the perfect place for a quick dinner or some drinks after a long day. I can't recommend it enough and the wings are by far the best in the city. I was sitting at the bar recently and was actually there to witness the Yelp review i posted a screen shot of below. It's a helpful reminder that there's always two sides to the story!! The bartender that night seemed to be the only person behind the bar at that time and it was very busy. These two began to slam their check on the bar because they had apparently finished making out at the bar over their food and NEEDED to leave at that exact moment. It was some of the most disrespectful behavior I've ever seen towards a service person. Completely uncalled for and everyone who was there to witness the situation agreed. They claimed they weren't tipping because of bad service but you could just tell these two were the type of people who love to find themselves in situations like these so they don't have to tip. Anyway, I can't speak highly enough of all of the staff and all of the food. They go above and beyond in the busiest of shifts and I can't wait to return soon for another pint! read more

Decent bar, staffs nice. Nice Christmas decorations and they were playing all the holidays tunes, so it was a nice vibe. It's extremely hot at the bar, almost 20 warmer than outside. Moved to the window just the cool off. read more

Came here on a random Wednesday night 9/7 around 9:00pm for drinks and food. Bartender was busy talking to her boyfriend or whoever he was when we needed our bill to leave. She wasn't paying any attention to us and when we did finally get her attention she told us we were rude. What's rude is not paying attention to your customers because you're flirting with some guy. Who tells their customers that they are "rude" when all they want is their bill?? YOU. WORK. IN. HOSPITALITY. AND. YOU. SUCK. AT. IT. Get another job. read more

Where else can you get great food and drink in the West Village at 3am? (Not that I go at 3am, but they're open 'til 4am, just in case). This is a terrific little Irish Pub, you'll feel like you're in Dublin. Go figure. Matty, the owner, is from Dublin and makes sure that the place is run well. Pub grub and flowing Guinness make it worth the trip to the WV. Sometimes they actually have Goose Island IPA! Excellent on sports nights. read more

Came here after going out with a friend & finding the place we were going to try was no longer in existence. I like that they had later hours than most of the other restaurants in the area and the bartender was very sweet and accommodating but I rank the sundae I had as "meh." The whipped cream was not very good; in fact, I had to eat around it. The vanilla ice cream was okay and other than the whipped cream, the dish itself was all right. I can't speak for the alcohol or other dishes since I wasn't in the mood for dinner but my friend sent back his initial order since he had food complaints himself but did like what he got instead better. The ambiance is relaxing when you go later in the evening. Maybe food isn't their strong suit, I don't know. read more

It's a good spot for a quick bite to eat if you're in the neighborhood. Don't expect the best and you will be okay. My friend and I came for an early dinner and I kid you not, not a soul was in the restaurant. Thankfully, a few people came in after us and sat at the bar. It's a small place but plenty of tables. Fills up quick at prime dinner time. Service is nice, fast and friendly. We ordered a grilled chicken club sandwich and spinach, cheddar, bacon omelette to share. The sandwich was just okay. The bread was a bit harder than I liked and it was semi-cold. The fries were overdone in the oil. You could taste the super fried taste. Omelette wasn't bad but tasted like it was left on the table for awhile. Cheese was melted inside but hard. It wasn't bad but I've had better, warmer, hotter food. read more

Bayard's Ale House - Half a chicken club and spinach, cheddar, bacon omelette - Pubs Near Me - New York, New York

I've been going to Bayards for about 10 years now. It's been our favorite neighborhood spot when we lived close by and, even though we no longer live in the neighborhood, we still try and go every week. The atmosphere is comfortable, casual, and welcoming. The food always hits the spot. The drinks are fantastic. But, the staff is what makes it great. They're friendly, warm, kind, and treat you like family. While there's never a bad Bayards day, Wednesday's are always the best. It's run by the best there is (if you know you know) and she always goes above and beyond. Bayards wouldn't be Bayards without her. read more

Came here on the fourth of july with two of my friends. Place was empty and very inviting. They have a good variety of food if you are looking for a good lunch spot. The waitress said that the grilled chicken club was the most popular item on the menu, so I ordered it. My two friends ordered the burgers. The burger was really good. It's thick and was over-cooked but it had a ton of flavor! The fries were a hit and miss. Some fries were soggy, over-fried, crunchy, and under-fried. It's like the fries were cooked one by one since they were so inconsistent. The grilled chicken club sandwich I had was nothing special at all. Literally just chicken, lettuce, tomato, mayo set up with three slices of bread cut into four pieces. The chicken had okay flavor, could have had something that would have made it different. It's something you can get anywhere so I would stay away from this item on the menu. Stick with the burgers! read more

Best bar in WV. The only bar I have had zero bad experiences with in my years in Manhattan. It feels like a home for locals not geared towards tourists. No overpriced 'stunt food', a real bar with a genuine pub feeling. It helps that the staff is friendly with good food + drinks. read more

Came in because i was craving some dive-bar type food and this place didn't disappoint. Drafts were great but the food was good too. Mozerella sticks werent gross like most places do them. And their classic burger with cheddar and bacon was a great addition. As most nyc dives there wont be much air circulation in there so expect for it to be hot. Would recommend if your trying to avoid overpaying in the area. read more

Bayard's Ale House - Burger fries and beers, raining cats and dogs. :( - Pubs Near Me - New York, New York

I met my friend at Bayard's weeks after my return from a stay in Ireland. The highlight of my visit to the space was reminiscing about Dublin with the Irish owner and bonding with the bartender over a bottle of Irish Teeling Whiskey that I spotted behind the bar. Just like in Ireland, the staff was sincere and friendly. While I skipped a glass of the whiskey, I did have a pint of Irish stout to relive the voyage. I also tried the sweet Bad Ass Cider from New York, which I loved. Sitting at the bar at Bayard's was an authentic and engaging experience. The place was definitely worth a visit! read more

I came down here for drinks for a friend's birthday party celebration, and boy oh boy, $4 drafts (except for Duvel and Delirium) during Happy Hour (Mon-Fri: 3pm-7pm, Sat-Sun Brunch: 11am-4pm). If you're lucky enough to come on a Monday night, they also have $0.50 wings during Happy Hour. I took the liberty to jot down all their beers on draft so that you could appreciate what I have, a good selection with Weihenstephan being one of them: - Blue Moon - Weihenstephan Hefeweiss - Delirium Tremens - Radeberger - Duvel Green - Old Speckled Hen - Belhaven Scottish Ale - Goose Island - Blue Point Toasted Lager - Newcastle Brown Ale - Kronenbourg 1664 - Guinness - Smithwicks - Six Point Bengali Tiger IPA - Six Point Sweet Action - Yuengling - Stella Artois - Miller Lite - Sam Adams - Sam Adams Seasonal If wheat beer isn't your thing, I recommend trying the Old Speckled Hen or Belhaven Scottish Ale if you're looking for something smooth without a bold, bitter taste. Bayard's is a dark-lit cozy bar with about 14 stools around a very small U-shaped bar. If sitting at the bar isn't your thing, they do a good job at laying out the tables around the perimeter of this corner bar to give it some privacy. Bartenders are extremely nice and cheerful, always ready to strike a chat. The music never gets too loud nor does the crowd, so it's neither too eerily quiet nor too loud to hear your neighbor. If you're looking to catch the sports game, this isn't your sports bar as there are only two LCD TV's, which usually is tuned into sports, but the crowd here usually has more interesting things to talk about. I tried their Burger with Bacon ($10.95), ordered Medium, which came out a little overcooked. The burger was a bit bland, but the 2-3 slices of bacon were crispy and not too fatty, delicious. The fries were extremely good, perfectly seasoned and fried just right with a crispness on the outside. I also tried the Mini Burgers (4 for $8.95) which were definitely a lot better than my burger, moist and full of flavor. Why couldn't my burger be like that? However, I got over my burger pretty quick and found myself going back to the $4 draft beers, which only raise to $6 after 7pm. I'll definitely be coming back here soon as I have not encountered too many bars serving my favorite beer, Weihenstephaner Hefeweiss, and for $4!?! Unheard of! read more

On a whim with a party of two in desperation to seek bail from the blazing hot sun of a late June heat and attain substance, low and behold a line formulates over one hour waiting time at Bayard's Ale House. Three international events coincidence that lures business to hustle and bustle: Pride Day (parade route runs directly on Hudson Street), 2014 World Cup, and Wimbledon 2014. This was our second failed attempt to attain a table for food. I stood at the bar flagging the bar tender for fifteen minutes to place our drink orders. I opt for Rose wine which was, on this day, was served in a plastic cup to prevent rowdiness. The Rose wine was very mediocre. Bayard's Ale House does carry a number of craft beer and draft beers. We were never properly served as we never got a table I was fuming angry for the staff discriminate us for being heterosexual. Lurking onto other tables appears the standard American bar food: chicken wings, French Fries, nachos, burgers, et al but we do not know what it all taste as the wait staff did not take our food order. For the first time, money was not the reason as having money does not necessary get you a table- particularly on Pride Day. Disappointingly, I wanted food!! TV screens plaster all over the house tuning to both World Cup, and Wimbledon games to bring the spirit for fans locally. Air conditioning is weak as there were too many bodies inside. A security guard serves as the gatekeeper and Maître d'. read more

Oi Oi Gov'nah! Cheers Mate! Did you watch the footie match between Arsenal and Man U? These are three statements you will hear in this bar, A LOT...complete with British accents. Its like all the UK peeps in the West Village convene in this dope spot to mix and mingle while boozin it up: 12+ taps of craft beers, awesome layout, uber-friendly/attentive bartenders (one looks like Big Ang from Mob Wives) and redic awesome wings (I needed to towel off cuz the hot wings kill't me). Got splashed here last night for 5+ hours with mah Yelp peeps. Yea, its a dope spot to bring your rowdy crew or a dope-ass date. read more

Hey this is a great bar. The staff gets it Just right and the food is good too. I like this bar

Cool space and layout with decently priced drinks. There's really nothing special about this place but I enjoyed my time here. I didn't try their food but the prices were decent and the proportions were good. I probably won't ever visit again because of where it's located but I'm sure it's somebody's jam. Good for them lol. read more

Bayard's is one of those places you keep going to thinking 'well: I had a terrible experience there last time, but it's a cozy Irish pub, how bad could it be?' And then you have another terrible experience. The first time I went there, my laptop was stolen out of my bag. No one's fault but the thief's, but it did set a certain tone. Then there was that time I had an awful first date there and the bartender forgot to put in our dinner order. I told her not to worry about it. It was more important to just get out of there. The bartender insisted that she'd put it in right away. I said 'no really, don't worry about it. Could we just get the check?' When the check came, she leaned in and said 'don't worry: I didn't charge you for the burger.' So: there's a bright side. If they forget to ever give you food that you ordered, they won't charge you for it. The height of courtesy! Twice, I drank beer there without anything unpleasant happening. Then, last night, I reluctantly returned (it's a cozy Irish pub, how bad could it be?) and was given a dramatically over cooked burger that the waitress shrugged off as not her problem. I was forced to move twice during the act of attempting to eat it so that the staff could access the basement. (Something that would have been ok if it came with an apology.) And the two harrowed waitresses who were staffing the entire place were impossible to grab to get your check or your order. How bad could it be? Pretty bad. Head up the street to Tavern on Jane or Dublin 6, if you want a cozy Irish bar. Or down towards w 4th and the host of places down there. Bayard's is well worth skipping. read more

I ended up at Bayard's Ale House after a night of drinking w/ my friends. My companions and I had been out for a night on the town and were still in the mood for a few cocktails... plus, we had the late night munchies!! At any rate, Bayard's was on our path home, and a friend suggested we stop in to satisfy our cravings. All in all, the experience was good--they served tasty drinks and good bar food, and the service was fine. For drinks, we all ordered cocktails from their specialty drink menu (a couple of us got Margaritas, one person got a Mint Julep, etc.). All of the drinks were tasty enough (although they could have been a little stronger), but I think next time I'll stick to beer. (This seems to be the general consensus from other Yelpers as well). For food, I ordered the Bayard's Combo Platter appetizer for the table to share. The platter consisted of chicken wings, potato skins, onion rings, chicken tenders, & mozzarella sticks. And, even though it was obvious that most of the items started out frozen, they were tasty enough--i.e., your typical bar food. Nonetheless, we gobbled it all down, and no one had a complaint. =) If you're expecting a fine dining experience, this is not your place. The atmosphere, food, and drinks are more tavern style. But, if that's all you're looking for, Bayard's will certainly fit the bill. read more

This was a great discovery and change for us from the usual Cowgirl we go to prior to the shows. We wanted something different and kozy and there it was-----an Ale House. Not very crowded for a Saturday afternoon. They had some nice craft beers on tap as well as in bottles. My wife and I sat at the bar and ordered our typical bar food. She had the chili taco fries while I had the buffalo wings. The fries were loaded with cheese and quite bit for 1 person, even 2. It makes a great group appetizer. My hot wings weren't too spicy, but were just enough and flavorful. The chicken was well prepared and fell of the bone. Quite a few TV's for watching the games. read more

Debated coming here after reading conflicting reviews, but seeing the amount of comments of how good the wings were sold us and we had to try it. Came in on a Sunday evening around 5:30pm. There was a couple of tables but not overly full. The waiter approached us very quickly and got us seated and we got our drinks relatively quickly. There were only 2 employees working on the front end, so we were more patient knowing they were running around, plus we were not in any type of rush. We ordered the combo platter appetizer and a cob salad to share. Bottom line... we didn't leave any food on the plates. Everything was super good, the wings were very crunchy on the outside but moist on the inside, the buffalo cause was just the right amount. The potato skins were very full and tasty, the mozzarella sticks, well those are hard to mess up and these did not disappoint. The only negative is we got 3 dips with the appetizer and no explanation of what they were (they were all bomb though), however we would have liked to know what they were rather then us guessing. The salad was perfectly dressed with a kick, the toppings evenly split between crunchy and soft and it was the perfect size to share with the combo app. We live in the neighborhood and can't believe how long it took to come in, but we will be back. read more

They have good lunch specials. i had the grilled chicken club sandwich. the basil mayo on it was really complimenting the chicken. my coworkers had grilled cheese sandwiches and burgers that all looked delicious. they have good fries, not the big soggy kind. it wasn't anything phenomenal, but we had no complaints and will definitely be back. they also have a good selection of beers. read more
