    Crompton Burger
    Betsy R.

    The burger was great! I also loved the onion rings. Nice selection of beer and they pour a nice Guinness!

    Wild Mushroom Flatbread
    Lauren W.

    Service was attentive and helpful despite being busy. The mushroom flatbread was the best I've ever had, with baby arugula rather than piles of leaves, and you could actually taste the truffle. It's a bustling bar with open air doors and gear decorations (almost steampunk!).

    Special squash soup rainy late fall lunch

    Solid Irish pub. Large inside, nice interior. Very clean, & very prompt service. Requisite surly but highly competent older male Irish bartender. Five stars b:c the music was Motown's Greatest Hits, & not lowest common denominator classic rock dreck. Buffalo wings were also really good. The squash soup on a grey, cold, rainy day was also great, but the portion was quite stingy - the crock was barely 1/2 full. Still 5 stars for the vibe & the music.

    House Guacamole and Chips

    Ambiance (5/5): This is such an awesome sports bar--several large TVs surrounding the whole bar and really open space with tall ceilings. The room is wonderfully decorated, like you're in a library. The upscale bar feeling is nice. The front windows/walls are open so natural lighting comes into the venue. Only qualm is that the tall chairs are stools with no back so over time it gets a little uncomfortable sitting. Happy Hour menu (4-7pm) that had $5 bottles, $6 drafts, and $8 wine/house mixed drinks--mozz sticks $14. Service (5/5): Despite how large the venue is, the staff was constantly doing laps so it was never hard to get anyone's attention. They also checked in for refills before our glasses were empty! The hostess and the server were both very smiley and sweet to us. Food (4/5): I enjoyed the mozzarella sticks which were stacked in a tower of 3! The chips for the guac were a bit stale but otherwise a very standard guac.

    No frills pub - came in for a quick drink before a show nearby. Efficient service, nothing noteworthy one way or the other!

    hot Wings
    Sarah K.

    The wings here are 10/10. We did their 3 appetizer special. 2 sets of the wings and the pig in a blanket. We wish wr had done all wings. The ambiance during the holiday season was very cozy and we loved the soft lighting all around. The service was amazing and we loved how attentive and interactive the staff were.

    "Tall" house rum and sprite. Regular price during happy hour is 8$. Make it a tall adds 2.50!!  Better to order a soda on the side.
    Devi M.

    Wonderful atmosphere just pay attention and check your bill. Happy hour tall wells are $10.50 instead of 8$ what? Their reasoning was an extra $2.50 for the extra soda! Ummmm we loved this place u til now. Poor service tonight and bad attitudes. We have come the last 2 nights for late dinner or drinks. Had wonderful food and service. Wondered why bill was getting higher. What a rip off. Very disappointed. Manager did ask me to change my review after he comped our drinks. That was very nice, but not necessary or the point.

    Good place for happy hour drinks after work or to watch a match. The prices here are pretty reasonable. As for food it's your typical pub fare. They have really good fries and my friend said she liked her burger. I got the Cobb pretending to be healthy and it was good. The service is great and very friendly. It's quite large inside with a lot of tables, booths and bar seating. It's also conveniently located near Penn Station and a few other train stops.

    This was a beautiful hidden gem during a holiday trip to NYC. The food was delicious! My party all enjoyed their food and shared dishes. The chicken sandwich was flavorful and fresh and the sweet potatoes fries were a great pairing. I felt like a kid in play-land being fascinated by the beautiful ambiance. The holiday decorations were a beautiful touch but the BOOKS! It's like a beautiful library with real hidden gems throughout. This place is a book lovers dream! Service was great and attentive too.

    Wild Mushroom Flatbread
    Barbara C.

    Picked this spot randomly due to its proximity to penn station, but was worried it would be packed and crazy - Was pleasantly surprised to see that Crompton Ale House is super spacious, with rustic, but modern decor. Good happy hour specials - typical cheaper beers, wines, etc. Food was quite good as well - Would definitely recommend the Mushroom flatbread. service was great - The bartender was friendly, attentive, and gave us space. definitely will be returning!

    Inviting and classic. Great barkeep! Nice guy. Just off 7th on 26th. All you need for a good time.

    Visited Crompton Ale House for lunch and dinner time. I will say the lunch experience was a lot better due to the service. There weren't many tables so the waiters were more attentive but I can see that they were really busy and trying their best when we went for dinner. It is a very spacious place so there's lots of seating options from high and low tables to the bar seating. It's very casual and the decor fits the trendy rustic theme. I will say I am obsessed with their Barbie Cosmo which is made with watermelon. It was so good that we ended up ordering 2 rounds each time we went. Note they do have a happy hour from 4-7pm and that drink is included! We all enjoyed the food we ordered. I had the Buffalo Chicken Flatbread both times and my friends had the Reuben Sandwich, Margherita Flatbread, and 26th Street Burger. During our dinner visit we tried the Bar Pretzel as an appetizer but it wasn't the best. It didn't have much flavor and it seemed to be overcooked so it was too hard. Overall I really like this spot and they seem to be consistent! Definitely going to be a regular since it's near my job.

We reserved for a quick bite at Redeye Grill before catching Dog Day Afternoon on Broadway, but as soon as we walked up, some bouncer told us they were closed for a private wedding reception. We were dazed and confused because how was I able to reserve online? But the real plot twist was that it ended up being the best thing that happened. We actually stumbled into Tanner Smith's thinking it'd be the typical, boring bar-food spot. Nope. They first sat us at a hi-top by the door, but that wasn't our vibe, so we grabbed seats at the bar instead. Best decision. Our bartender, Josiah, was absolutely killing it. My cocktail had passion fruit, so of course I asked my usual question: "But is it real passion fruit?" He just nodded in agreement and that told me everything I needed to know. That drink was legit and had nice strength. The food was great too. My fish tacos were packed with fresh fish, the guacamole and salsa were chunky and full of flavor and hubs enjoyed his pastrami sandwich. I have no clue when we'll be back in Midtown, but one thing's for sure- we're sitting with Josiah again.

For those who like a little drink with their food, during brunch they offered a number of brunch cocktails (bottomless) for $35 Food of Choice: I had the Truffle Mac and Cheese and a side of the za'tar cauliflower. Both dishes were great and filling. The cauliflower had a lot of bold flavors! The onion ring on top of the Mac and cheese was a nice touch. I couldn't really taste the truffle but I would still order the dish again.

Two-part, proper settle, tight dome, no rushing it. That's rarer than it should be in Midtown where half the bars treat a stout like a lager. Whoever's behind the bar here has been trained or grew up around it. Food's better than a second-floor pub between 5th and 6th has any right to be. The JRB burger comes on a house-ground patty (they grind in-house, and you can tell, loose texture, actual seasoning), caramelized onions cooked down all the way, not just softened, good cheese pull. Fried pickles on the side had a crisp cornmeal shell and stayed crunchy under the burger juices, which never happens. Buttermilk chicken salad was the surprise. Chicken actually brined, crust stayed on, greens weren't an afterthought. Only real knock: music was loud. Not sports-bar loud, more like the bartender's playlist got away from him. Fine at the bar, harder at a table if you want to talk. Room's got real bones. Reclaimed barn wood, old rail track as a foot rest, that big 45-star flag on the wall. Been here almost 20 years and it's aged into itself. For the neighborhood the pricing's fair. Beats P.J. Clarke's on the burger, loses on quiet. Go for a beer and a burger, not a date.

We opted for the Abstractions menu for 285 per person, which has their signature dish eggs on eggs on eggs. It was one of the best things I've had in a while. Given it's their signature dish, it seems wrong that it's not part of their smaller Impressions course for 185. For this alone, I would choose the Abstractions menu again. It was a perfect blend of egg, custard, caviar and buttered bread/cracker. I thought every dish had different textures and flavors that really impressed our taste buds. My second favorite was the lobster dish with the right acidity paired with a refreshing cucumber gelato. The menu is seasonal. I can definitely find myself back for celebratory dinners.

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).

Lamb with cherries was also excellent. I would have given this place 5 stars without any hesitation except that service was not great. Not the wait staff's fault really. They were running around trying to help everyone. It's just that they don't have enough staff for the amount of people being served. That's the fault of management.
