A group of 5 of us decided to have dinner here on Valentines Day ( a Thursday evening). Upon arrival we sat by the bar until the entire party arrived. The waiter at the bar area seemed to be a little off; she did ask if we wanted to order drinks. The place wasn't fully packed but, there were a few tables occupied since it was Vday. Our waiter still seemed to be a little off even when we transitioned to our table but, after an hour or so she kinda lighten up. I ordered the Cajun chicken wrap which was super yummy. We all enjoyed our meal's :) read more

They're packaging for takeout orders is meticulous. We travelled to Westchester with 5 drinks and they all survived. The service was just as good as the food, which was superb. I highly recommend the burgers, lomo, salchipaps and anything with the cajun seasoning. read more

This was a great low key spot. Good atmosphere, decent cocktail menu, delicious appetizers and burgers. It was the perfect spot for a catch-up dinner date with my girlfriend. The music was on point and the service was excellent. I heard so much about their shrimp basket, which happened to be as delicious as I was told. The coconut margarita was tasty but weak. The Boy Bleu burger was delicious. They grilled the patty perfectly. I'll definitely be going again. read more

I've been coming to Locksmith on weekends for years now, but more lately now due to the amazing EXPANSION! When going out uptown there's always the super strict dress code, the ego contest of bottle service and hookahs. You don't have to worry about any of that at Locksmith! All you you know is whether it's a chill night or a crazy raging turnt up party at Locksmith you are going to have a FANTASTIC time. PERFECT MUSIC, GREAT FOOD, in well kept company!! (Tip: make sure you take a picture in the bathroom, great selfie mirror) read more

I love me some wings and sweet potato fries so if I'm hungover this is a spot I will generally go to. I wish they had normal tables because the high table and stools after sitting for 30 mins or so are a bit uncomfortable The service is decent.. However I recently tried Buddha bar which is right across the street better service and better food overall, also the atmosphere and feel of the place is much desired. I know this places usually have good deals on happy hour and songs and I heard the burgers were good read more

had brunch here and the vibes was ii the service was trash my waiter ain't give my boy his yucca fries and said the fryer ain't working lmao but he gave his girl yucca first instead like what type of trash service is this? the staff was intimidated by my boy but it's whatever. the food was trash i def don't recommend this spot for brunch at all. the mimosas got me lit so shoutout to them read more

ALL I can remeber are those damn cajun fries. I mean the burger was good...I really wanted a freaking glass of wine, but of course that was not gonna happen. So I tore the meal to pieces lol! Seriously a hole in the wall. The place was tiny tiny and we waited for about 30 minutes before we sat down. However, a Giants game was on and I'm sure that's what the hold up was. My girlies had garlic fries which were feaking delish too! Burgers are made to order and the bacon on mine was thick applewood smoked.....yum to the e! Great first meal in NYC! read more

I've been coming to locksmith for a while and have never experienced such bad quality from the bar as I did tonight. The bartender (Christina) was drunk out of her mind. I waited 20 mins for a drink, still tipped 20% because maybe things were overwhelming. Went for another round and had to wait another 15 mins while she took maybe 5 shots while we were waiting, only to have her respond with a disgusting attitude when we asked if she remembered that we were there waiting for another round. She then was screaming at someone that was trying to give their card to pay for their tab. My friends & I switched to the other side of locksmith because WTF is wrong with that girl?! A mess. The other side of locksmith was quick & more than welcoming. read more

I wanted to try something new in neighborhood and I was pleasantly surprised,the mushroom burger was delicious- beef had excellent taste and fries were good also, I also got honey serrachia chicken wing and they were the best, but needs 2 sauces put in for the container. I am happy to find new delivery place it was great choice thank you read more

I give it 3 stars just because the service was up to par. We got the shrimp basket by the time we got home the fries were cold and stale so I was left with just shrimp for the most part. The mac and cheese was dry - I am a mac and cheese fanatic so this was super disappointing. The chicken and fries basket was actually the best thing from there along with the drinks. They didn't have sparkling which was fine so I resorted to usual tequila with water and craft beer for my boyfriend. I would go back but I probably wouldn't order food. They make these Henny Coladas and frozen margs (huge servings) for $10-$20. Their drinks don't disappoint and the staff is friendly and accomodating. read more

Ok, so at first I was drawn by the laid back atmosphere, good drinks and prices... I called it ok. Then you gave me those locksmith burgers, alright, I might come once a week. Then you tell me you have cajun yuca fries... what? ok you got my attention. And your turkey burger is just ask good so I can eat without going into a food comma? Alright, sold! Great local place, has grown on me and now I come here regularly. Be warned, if you plan on doing something after eating here, turkey burger.. otherwise, go ahead with the regular burger. read more

Came to locks for taco Tuesday and had great food and an amazing time. If you've gone to locks pre covid you know it's always fun. They've done a great job at keeping the same vibe even with all the covid restrictions. The DJs Hasan Insane and Yoo Q always play the best music. They had us dancing in our seats the whole time Our server Connor was also AMAZING. Very attentive, super fast, and super friendly. Over all a great experience at one of my favorite places. Little locks, YOU'RE DOING AMAZING SWEETIE!! read more

Everything started out well and then crashed, blew up and burned. Never have I ever had to work so hard to understand a bill, the assumed adding everyone's order on one tab after requesting separate checks, struggled to get clarification on what's owed, and been met with so much attitude in the explanation process. I would recommend you visit, do not open a tab, get your food, get your drinks as they are competitively priced, then leave. We also moved from the bar to a dirty table and was met with staff who clearly are stretched thin and not able to keep up with the change over. I had high hopes for this place and I definitely recommend it for food, atmosphere and decor but the service really hurt my experience. I'm pretty sure I overpaid since our table was given 4 repetitive checks. Wishing you all a better experience! read more

Locksmith Bar - Cocktail Menu - New American Near Me - New York, New York

Amazing food! Attentive staff and the only place in NYC that delivers in the middle of a snowstorm in half the quoted time!

As far as uptown bars/restaurants go this place is an absolute must. The drinks are made to perfection, the food is delicious and the vibe is always on point. It's a testament to the dedication of its owners who clearly have their finger on the pulse of the neighborhood. If you want a taste of "The Heights" then do yourself a favor and visit or order from Locksmith! read more

Great spot. Will be a regular here. Going to try to have everything on the menu. I love it there read more

The food was OK but the drinks were amazing. I would come back here again and give it another try.

A nice place to hangout. The feel is comfort from end to end. The service is great. Not good for a big group, but just right for 2 to 4 friends trying to relax and talk. Try the yucca fries and crab cakes, yum. read more

Went here for a night out on a whim & it was a great time. The bar was completely full, good music, mostly Hispanic crowd. The drinks were good as well, average drink prices. read more

This place is a hidden gem! Not only is the food immaculate, but the service is impeccable. Connor was extremely attentive and charismatic. I HIGHLY recommend the ceviche and shrimp saltado. They are UNREAL. 10/10 recommend! read more

The staff is friendly. That's the first thing that I noticed about this place. Even I myself was in a grumpy mood. They gave me my space, took my order, and checked up on me. I actually went back because of this. Less grouchy this time. Same great service, and the burger is top notch. The other quality aspect of this place is the vibe established by the music and decor. They keep the music low key, and the decor is rustic. The second time I visited they had set up a little celebratory area for the newly nuptialed. Someone had painted a sign announcing the event on the specials chalkboard. That was a nice touch, I thought. Otherwise this very much seems like a neighborhood place. It's a bit of exercise getting downhill from the train to here. And it's therefore logically more of a sweat getting back up. But if you're visiting the Cloisters, this might be a great fit before of after. read more

We were so happy that they were able to deliver to us despite being outside the delivery zone. We had been craving the burgers for some time and they did not disappoint! We indulged in the sangria which was very tasty! Also grateful for the gloves and cleaning supplies they had for sale. Thank you for staying open, accommodating customers and for the safe and quick delivery. #besafetho read more

All I can say is Yuuuum and that my mom is obsessed with their margaritas! The end! Lol (Great food, great drinks, great vibe)

One of my favorite places to chill. Tiny little place with good happy hour, great bar food, and friendly staff. I specially love the Philly cheese steak and the onion rings. I personally think the garlic drenched yuca fries are a bit over rated but they are good non the less. I am sad to see brunch change but in this day in age I would understand why they had to take these drastic measures, still its a great little hang out. If you want to avoid loud noise decibels just don't go on Fridays or any day right before any holidays, teachers take over and we are loud! any other day is great to hang with a friend or bring a date over. read more

I'm a garlic lover so the garlic fries and garlic yuca fries that they serve here are simply delicious to me. I am also a fan of the buffalo wings, which they have on major sale during game time. I've been here several times and have no complaints about the service. It's a small place but there's no inconvenience about the size since they have huge screens are are usually prompt. Yesterday, it was very busy b/c of the football game and there was only one waitress, who we had to flag down a few times. She was still very sweet but they were definitely understaffed. Other than that, no complaints about this place. read more

I have been to Locksmith twice with my boyfriend and both times was the best experience ever. We were given amazing customer service, great atmosphere/music and the burgers are so delicious, juicy and freshly made. We will definitely come again sometime soon. read more

Great, fast service! Friendly staff and my favorite bar food spot in the neighborhood!

I'm so happy this place was able to serve us during Covid. We were able to get outdoor seating which I wasn't too optimistic about during the cold weather but they went above and beyond. They turned on standing patio heaters for us and other heaters facing us! Our waitress was so awesome. The locksmith Bar definitely cared about customer service! read more

New dish for the winter time, Hens Soup is exquisite. Thank you Locksmith could have not come at a better time. read more

Food and drinks here are amazing! I had the wings and mac. I do wish they had more wing choices for flavors but nevertheless it was great. My brother had a chicken burger and I had a bite, that tasted great too. Place turns into a little "scene" early on saturdays so get there early so theres no wait time! read more

I visited for the first time last Sat for dinner. I had a burger and my friend had lomo saltado both good dishes. We stayed for drinks and Tommy the bartender was excellent! The DJ came on and spinned some really good 90s R&B and did the damn thang!!! My only complain, a small glass of house margarita was $12 which is a bit steep. The girl bartender, Wally, was too laid back. A bar full of customers waiting while she leaned against bar looking annoyed to be there. The bar back who celebrated his bday was on point definitely stepping in. read more

Unlike other reviewers I think the burger was meh, sort of bland and not very juicy but the fries were good. The Nutella churros were good but they didn't come with a Nutella/chocolate dip as expected. They had some chocolate drizzled on them that was definitely dark chocolate and not Nutella. Delivery was quick and nicely packed. read more

I'm a Locksmith regular, so I don't know where to start. The food is AMAZING! I encourage newbies to try some of the Peruvian influenced dishes. You will not be disappointed. And Locksmith has the BEST burgers and fries in NYC!! I'm not a big drinker, but the frozen margarita (on the rocks) will satisfy anyone!! Most of all, the staff is friendly, courteous and they make you feel at home. I'd recommend Locksmith Burger Bar to all!! read more

First time at Locksmith Bar after wanting to stop in for awhile. Let's just say I will definitely be back! Everything was wonderful. The staff were extremely friendly and cool. And the food was absolutely amazing.. The best crunchiest wings and the burger was cooked to perfection. Might even be back tomorrow... read more

My first time here.. Eh! Will I return? Maybe not! The environment is very urban and a bit in the younger side. There's two half's of the place ( one half is where you order food and the order is where the Dj is and it's more social .. spacious to dance) The Dj was nice but kept playing Rap and R&B.. being that it's in the Heights.. You need a variety of music.. in my opinion! Also, I wasn't to fond of the waiter at the beginning.. ( Didn't get her name.. Blonde w/ tats) My friend wanted to eat and I wanted to drink... they were no available tables or spots at the bar ( But yet the tables were empty) She was very rude and I guess the owner noticed that we were just standing there awkwardly waiting and he approached us and accommodated us! My friend ordered " Fried Pickles" and they were out ( Hm at 9pm already out...?) So she just ordered fries as we waited for our other friends to arrive.. It's not a bad spot but I won't be returning.. Sorry Locksmith ‍ read more
