    I really loved the service at Haymaker. I volunteer for a nonprofit and was planning a get together. Haymaker didn't ask for a minimum spend and offered me a secluded area. Sold. The staff were great. Everyone was super friendly and we had a great experience. The food is fine, some dishes are better than others but you don't come here for the food. Drinks are good and prices are decent. I personally enjoyed the fries, fig flatbread, and the mac n cheese.

    An impromptu stop after arriving in the city, Haymaker Bar and Kitchen was exactly the holdover we needed before dinner. We swung by midday--kind of in that slow window after lunch but before the dinner rush--and the place was pretty quiet, which honestly suited us just fine. There was another couple at the bar and a local chatting with the bartender, so the vibe was low-key and relaxed. They had great beer selections, and the apps definitely delivered. We were a bit hungry after an early morning of travel, and yes, we finished everything we ordered. While it's probably not a spot we'd actively seek out on future visits (we come to NYC 3-4 times a year), it served its purpose perfectly that day. If you happen to be in the area, it's worth a quick stop. But if you're hunting for standout spots to plan into your itinerary, this one might be skippable.

    Quick service, pretty drinks. The cocktails were a bit sweet and a little light on the alcohol. Also a little messy, the bartender spilled the drink down the side of the glass and didn't bother to clean it before serving.

    Cool spot. Long bar with lots of seats too. Food was good and drinks were great. Definitely will be back!

    Devilled Eggs

    Great food and reasonable prices given proximity to MSG! Let's dive in... Deviled Eggs (5/5): These were beautifully piped deviled eggs and the filling itself had this toothsome tang and flavor to die for. Potato cauliflower croquets (5/5): This melt-in-your-mouth shareable made me feel healthy (shoutout to cauliflower) but in reality this was just so tasty I would order it every time. The dish has a delegate breading and a filling that melts like butter when you bite in. Pork Ribs (4/5): Solid pork ribs. Obviously this isn't a BBQ place so it's not the world's best. I found this mildly over-cooked/dry at parts but everywhere else it was falling off the bone. Loved the mini salad it came with though! Drinks (5/5): An increíble selection of beers, cocktails and non alcoholic beverages! Ambiance (4/5): Love the wood flooring and accents, and dimmable lighting throughout. We were seated in the back and one annoying thing was when the front of the restaurant messed with the lights it impacted our area too -- which on one occasion suddenly turned the lights back to 100% which startled us. Service (5/5): Lights aside, service was fantastic despite being in the very back of the establishment. Our server was incredibly attentive. TL;DR: If you're seeing a show at The Garden this place is a must-stop! Great for sharables and at prices you can't beat!!

    Spreads - Babaganoush was very flavorful

    Great food with a great atmosphere. It can get loud, as expected in a NYC Bar, but we'll worth the visit. Staff extremely knowledgeable and you will find all types of different drinks you won't get anywhere else. Come for drinks, stay for the food. Reservations recommended.

    Tried for a bar stop in drink b4 game and dinner. ENTRANCE - no host so as you walk in bar on the right. A railroad design with a couple of booths on the left and a few tables in the back. For the rush hour LOL better make reservations as there are not a lot of tables. Bar area holds maybe 20 folks. DECOR - very brown colors around but more modern looking overall. Seems like the late hours will have low lighting - good for couples laying low and out of sight for the friendly secret tryst MENU - super small with very few choices. Interesting that they offer deviled eggs. It's more of an American tapas selection less the Spanish vibe The beverage menu is also limited. For beer about 20 choices but includes micro and IPA! Vino is also limited. Your choice 4 reds or 5 whites. I tried the Malbec from Argentina that was passable but was $14 a glass so u can't expect better for that. The good news for spirits - a full bar It also seems like they allow beer sample tastes at the tender's discretion I'm sure BAR TENDER - very pleasant and graceful. But this place has local regulars for sure that get more conversation FOOD - we only had wings at the bar. And let me say they were super good and they offer 5-6 different varieties. I'd come again for wings. PRICE - pretty much average. Depending upon the number of appetizers you get and I'd give price range a $$ to $$$ by New York City standards

    This little sports bar was pretty chill, the service was pretty good the waitress was super nice, and gave nice recommendations. Food was pretty solid also. One thing I wasn't too much of a fan on was the extra salted French fries. They taste pretty good but they could have been better without the extra salt if I'm being honest.

    Nachos
    Daniel B.

    Really great place to stop for drinks and food in the vicinity of Penn Station and MSG. Robust beer selection , great service, and delicious food! We split a few plates: the sweet chili wings were amazing and the perfect level of sauce to wing ratio, definitely living up to the hype. We were HUGE fans of the buffalo chicken flatbread - the chicken was delicious, and the blue cheese as the "sauce" on the flatbread brought everything together so well. The nachos were a bit soggy from the amount of toppings out in them, but I can't complain about too many toppings when all too often the problem with nachos is not enough. And the fries were delicious - but they are thick cut so won't be super crispy, so if that's a deal breaker for you, be forewarned. Will definitely be back here before events at MSG again!

    The vibe is like a local hang out bar. It is darker with dim lighting and candles. They have two TVs and several tables around a large bar. Very casual. The service was good. Once we ordered there wasn't much needed it seemed like one server was going around to all the tables. The portions are LARGE so for the price in NYC it's pretty good. The Brussels were kinda soggy from the sauce but had a good flavor and the blue cheese wasn't too overpowering. I got the Cauliflower dish, it was just ok. My cousin got the chicken confit and as shown we were very worried if it was cooked or not, it was cooked through but wasn't golden brown like a confit should be. They said that's just the way it's made. They had an extensive drink list but we didn't order any . Most people there seemed to be there for after work drinks and apps.

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.

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).

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.

Yesterday reminded me exactly why we keep coming back. Our server Xavier was, without question, the best service we've had at this location. He was attentive without hovering, genuinely warm, and kept the whole meal moving at a perfect pace. In a busy Times Square restaurant, that kind of presence is rare and it doesn't go unnoticed. Xavier, if you see this: you crushed it. Food-wise, the poke nachos were a hit as always, and my tacos were delicious. Adrian's mac and cheese, however, landed completely flat. No seasoning, no depth, just nothing going on. We swapped it out for another pasta dish hoping for a turnaround, and unfortunately that one missed too. It happens. We weren't upset about it and nobody made a scene. These things are part of dining out. What really stood out was how the team handled it. The general manager came over after hearing we weren't thrilled with the food and was genuinely kind and gracious about the whole thing. That kind of hospitality, especially when it's unprompted, is what separates a good restaurant from a great one. At the end of the day, we're giving this five stars because Yard House Times Square consistently delivers where it counts: the atmosphere, the drinks, and above all, the people.
