My friend and I came to PJ Clarke's to watch the Knicks in the NBA Finals, and despite the…read moredisappointing outcome of the game, we had a great night. We were thrilled to find two seats at the end of the bar when we arrived. As luck would have it, the two gentlemen next to us eventually left, allowing us to slide over and enjoy an even better view of the TV for the rest of the game. I started with a Tito's and club soda, but unfortunately, something seemed off--perhaps the club soda was flat. The drink just wasn't good. To their credit, the bartender took it back without hesitation and was very accommodating. I then ordered a Negroni after the woman sitting next to us highly recommended it. I don't usually drink gin, but this cocktail was absolutely delicious and changed my mind. Since we were there for several hours, we shared an order of zucchini and eggplant chips and happily snacked on them throughout the game. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, with a nice mix of ages and people enjoying the evening. We made sure to leave our bartender a generous tip since we occupied our seats for the entire game. Even though the Knicks didn't pull out a win that night, we certainly didn't leave defeated. I'd happily return for another game, cocktail, and fun evening out. And maybe even get dinner there. Little did I know there was another big room in the ack once you past the restrooms. They were having a thriving business there!

I also wanted to try the advertised $7.99 combo, but it wasn't available. The food itself wasn't bad, and I really liked the mayo/orange sauce. It's mostly self-serve. You order at a kiosk, wait for them to call you, then grab your food to eat there or take to go. The drinks are out for you to grab yourself as well. There are only about three tables and a few counter seats, so seating is pretty limited. Overall, the place was okay, though it could've been cleaner. I probably wouldn't visit again, but I did enjoy the food.

We loved the French onion soup, it had great flavor and the cheese on top made it so amazing! everything came out hot and delicious. We got there pretty early and I wish that we had gone on a day they had breakfast. The breakfast photos caught my eye. After we paid and gave our 20% auto gratuity, our waiter Jose asked if we wanted to leave additional gratuity. Our tip was already $25 and I was actually surprised he asked for more. We declined and left. Out of my whole entire trip this was the only restaurant that asked for more than the 20%. I found it rather odd. My review is based off the food itself.

Not a lot of searing inside. Some people take their time and never get up, others understand, eat and move. I'd go again for sure! Added two drinks and still came out under $25 in NYC!

I was also struck at how clean the tavern was, without feeling sterilized or lacking in personality. I got the impression that this tavern specializes in cocktails, as they didn't have the most expansive beer options, but some of the cocktails that the other patrons had looked awesome! I probably should have ordered one, as I could tell that the bartenders put quite a bit of effort into making them. As for these bartenders, they were pretty nice and relatively helpful. I was somewhat disappointed when I looked at the menu and saw how expensive their food was. I'm a huge fan of mozzarella sticks and was excited to see that they had them. However, when I saw that they were $15+, I couldn't bring myself to pay that much for them. I got some pub fries instead, which were good, yet again, pretty expensive. All in all, Turtle Bay Tavern had an awesome ambiance, which nailed the upscale but not pretentious vibe, and seemingly had great cocktails and a fine enough beer menu. Their food was good but expensive to the point where I'd consider it a luxury, and I wouldn't come here looking to satisfy any large cravings.

I LOVE a good Irish pub and this one felt like the perfect puzzle piece for me that day. When you walk in it's a narrow long pub with dim lighting which was so chill and easy on the eyes. Gave us a nice break. Plenty of bar seating and toward the back they have tables. Some TV's behind the bar but nothing gleaming in your face. The bartenders were awesome. Attentive, chill, converse and just generally nice folks. The menu was small-ish but had the most amazing options. My bf got some type of Philly cheesesteak egg rolls and wouldn't stfu about how good they were lmao. I got the pub burger which was a mix of brisket and short rib and let me telllll you...gimmie fawteen of em right now!! 100/100 burger. Something so simple but these people have perfected it.

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.
