First time visiting The Ambleside Pub to watch the England game, and we really enjoyed it. We were…read morewarmly greeted by Steve, the bartender, who made us feel very welcome. I had the haddock fish & chips, my husband had the bangers and mash, and we finished with sticky toffee pudding and custard. Everything was delicious and felt like authentic British pub food. The atmosphere was fun, and we loved how the TVs are hidden behind what look like paintings when not in use -- such a cool touch! There's plenty of seating, even for larger groups. We'll definitely be back for future England games, and next time we may bring our dog since we found out they're dog-friendly too!

I have to agree with ALL these reviews-this place is absolutely fantastic and they should not…read morechange a thing! First off-the owners are so FRIENDLY and kind--you can talk to them about anything and they are happy to answer questions about any of the food and/or drinks. You can tell they love owning this place and meeting customers. I have heard so much about the Pub and went for the first time yesterday with two friends. We had one of their rotating cask beers and one of their bitter regular casks which is a staple of the establishment-each beer was delicious and tasty! I had the vegan curry dish which was very tasty with veggies, rice and great spice. My friends had a dish similar to Shepherd's Pie but slightly different and cooked with more like steak stewed meat rather than lamb and we all licked our plates clean LOL. We also shared two of the desserts which were vanilla ice cream with some type of coconut cookie in it and the other was vanilla ice cream with a yummy type of strawberry sauce I think. The atmosphere is so laid back as well-like traditional British Pubs you order your drinks and food at the bar and they deliver your food to your table with a number. You are able to sit wherever you would like and I hear it gets very packed for European football games. I can't wait until I get a chance to go again-there aren't a ton of food options being that I don't eat red meat-but I was able to find the curry and could also try the Fish and Chips which looked amazing and I have heard it is great. If you are in the area-stop by for a drink or two and you will not be disappointed-you feel like you are transported to England with these type of pub.

This was a great decision we made. Although, parking can be a problem depending on the time and day but we were able to find a metered parking spot with no issues. We were the only customers in the restaurant, which made us nervous at first but we were pleasantly surprised at the end. Our waitress gave superior service and she was so accommodating to our every need. My husband got a bowl of chili and the JD signature steak sandwich while I got their favorite, chicken parmigiana with a side of caesar salad and sweet potato fries. My husband said this was the best chili he has ever eaten with plenty of ground beef and a spicy kick as well. His steak sandwich was so tender and unbelievably juicy on a roll with some hints of garlic flavor. The side of French/ sweet potato fries was fresh cut from potatoes and not the frozen ones from the bag. Their homemade caesar salad dressing was really good. My chicken parmigiana was cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful. I got the side of sweet potato fries for free because they didn't have any steak in house that day, which is what I ordered in the first place. Food was great, price was cheap and service was excellent. What else can you ask for? We will be back in the future!

It is a simple ride over from MIneola and their is a large parking lot in the back. We walked in past their lovely outdoor seating which I will try on a warmer Summer evening into the wonderful restaurant adjacent to the large bar and took our seat. Our lovely waitress brought us our menus and drinks and gave us a few minutes to decide. It was pretty easy for both of us. We had: - A cool crisp salad was served first and this was crsipy-tasty-delicious - Joel - Short Ribs served over mashed potatoes. DELICIOUS meaty short ribs with a fabulous rich-tasty sauce on top of very tasty mashed potatoes - Tony - Short Ribs served over mac & cheese. Fantastic short ribs over very tasty and cheesy macaroni shells. Everything about this shop was first class and I am looking forward to a return visit with my wife.

Actually, they do have a lot of dart boards and an extremely fine pool table. The bathrooms are questionable but, could be better. The, they don't even have a proper ice machine. And the beer sometimes tastes weird. And they are not good at making cocktails as the village green. They know how to make two-step cocktails but I would t let them make anything too fancy. It's also dusty. I'll tell ya that. I mean yeah you're gonna have a good time, but it's mostly boomers and Gen Xers going in for a cheap drink. Like I know, regularly I spit up acid but this place had me dry-heaving. We love Jennifer, the other guy, ummmm... Hector! Nice people in there. I just wish they did the bar better. They DO have buffets, and BBQ's. Sometimes they have these buffets and shit. Food. So the only highlight is we can go there for darts, food, or maybe bands; karaoke, stuff like that. That's about it.

Picture it, December 18, 2019. CJ's Pub - NYC…read more I was on my way from Alabama to Maine and was stranded so Delta put me up at a hotel in Queens. At 2am. At that point, I needed a drink and so I recruited a NYC friend and uber'd to a local place open til 4am, but it was closed. We googled and mapped and walked from there to CJs. Someone was inside!!! We waved. They said they were closed. We stood on the sidewalk trying to figure out whether to try another location or to go back to the hotel and the bartender (JIMMY!!!) was headed out for the night. He asked where we were from and I said "Maine". He lit up. He let us in. It was my friend's birthday. The stars had aligned, stranded me in NYC, and sent us to CJs. The two of us and Jimmy chatted into the wee hours of the morning...we did birthday tequila, birthday coronas...birthday bud heavies. And the kitchen was closed but Jimmy shared his sandwich. There is a whole lot of love and compassion in that man and people should go to CJs just to meet him. Phenomenal birthday; phenomenal company. We will be back for day drinking ;). *heart* Jimmy, *heart*. Thank you.

The bartender called me some names for needing a citrusy treat in my mother's milk but obliged me with a lime every time. By the end of the first time I went in there (been there a hundred more since) the same bartender was banging back blackberry brandy shots with me. I would have happy memories of this place if I didn't black out every time I walked through the door. They have darts and a jukebox, but don't let me play with the darts.

My wife had been to Gallagher's Pub in Sea Cliff the previous night with her girlfriends and thought they had great food. We walked in to a quaint Irish pub and were greeted by Marcus. He smiled and remembered my wife from the night before. We sat down and viewed the menu. Nice selection of food and drinks. We ordered some drinks. My wife had a soda and I had Smithwick beer. A good Irish ale. We decided on the French onion soup. It was served hot and was delicious! We ate and talked and some of our friends came in and visited with them. Good times. My wife was full after the soup , so she ordered some French fries. I ordered a buffalo chicken burger with onion rings. I thought I try something different the chicken burger was great and the onion rings were perfect. We enjoy our meal and visiting with our friends. Marcus gave us a tray for our leftover with a note on the cover. See the photos. It seems Marcus adds a special note to his customers. This was a nice and unexpected surprise. We enjoyed our time at Gallagher's. The wait service was excellent, the food was great and the atmosphere was friendly. I strongly recommend Gallagher's Pub. If you're in Sea Cliff on the north shore of Long Island stop by Gallagher's for a drink and some great food. Travel safe and keep healthy. All the best to you all.

As someone who has come to this bar regularly to watch Knicks playoff games, I can confidently say…read moreI will never return after what happened during the NBA Finals last night. What this bar pulled was completely unacceptable. They were openly reserving seats at the bar for certain people while telling everyone else they were unavailable. There was no advertised reservation policy, no advance notice, and no opportunity offered to regular customers. Apparently, the only way to get a seat is to know the owner, know the bartenders, or be part of the inner circle. What made it even worse was that my group had been sitting at the bar, ordering food and drinks starting around 7:30 PM, only to be forced out of our seats at 7:45 PM. The reservation signs on those seats clearly stated they were reserved for 8:15 PM. We were paying customers actively spending money, yet we were removed 30 minutes before the supposed reservation time. That is absolutely egregious behavior. I've worked in sports bars and have owned sports bars in New York City. In all my years in the business, I have never heard of reserving seats directly at the bar--especially during a major sporting event. It goes against everything that makes a sports bar successful. Bar seats have always been first-come, first-served. That's Sports Bar 101. I've spent plenty of money here over the years because it was always a great place to watch big games: good atmosphere, sound on the TVs, and a fun crowd. Unfortunately, last night proved that customer loyalty means absolutely nothing. Regular patrons were treated like second-class citizens while preferred customers received special treatment. For a bar that markets itself as a neighborhood sports destination, this was incredibly disappointing, unprofessional, and frankly insulting. If you're planning to watch a major game here, don't assume you'll be treated fairly. Unless you're friends with the right people, don't expect the same experience as everyone else. There are plenty of other sports bars in Brooklyn that understand how to treat customers. After last night, I'll be spending my money there instead. I won't be back, and I certainly won't be recommending this place to anyone. Let's Go Knicks
