    Overlook Nachos
    Danny P.

    If you want to check out a cool bar in midtown East then I recommend Overlook. I had a great time going here with my girlfriend and the food was really tasty. We started with the Overlook Nachos which had homemade beef chili, Jack cheese, lettuce, sour cream, and salsa. For the main dishes we both had burgers - Cheeseburger with Swiss Cheese - Pesto Burger with Pomme Frites They even had some classic cartoon art on the walls and it wasn't too noisy. I recommend this place a lot!!

    Merman IPA.

    It was our last afternoon in the City, so the wife and I stopped in here to have a beer or two; I ended up having three. Our bartender, Josh, was friendly and attentive. Good selection of craft brews -- I had a couple of "Merman" IPAs, and a "Hazy Beer Hug." The ambiance is pretty much as you might expect with an Irish pub, and I could see myself becoming a regular here if I lived in town. If we'd had more time, I would've liked to toss a game of darts on their traditional (non-plastic-tipped) board.

    Pommes Frites
    Susie R.

    We walked thinking we would be able to see the city from an "overlook". We were told the "overlook" was closed until 5pm. We decided to sit at the bar and have the Pommes Frites and a beer. The beer was cold and our bartender was a delight and friendly. My daughter and he conversed sports and the recent trade of "our" Freddie Freeman to the Dodgers. Before we left, he allowed us to go up to the "overlook" which is not an overlook but an outside patio with no view. Haha- the joke was on us, but the name did get us to walk 3 miles to visit. We enjoyed ourselves despite the disappointment of a view.

    Overlook is back open with even better drinks and appetizers. Also, I have missed it so much that everything tastes so good! Even a Blue Moon on draught We recently tried their spinach and artichoke dip which surprised us! It was served piping hot in a pot with generous amounts of nachos, sour cream and salsa. So good! Best I've had anywhere. Highly recommend

    I really enjoy this place when I'm in the area. Being close to the UN and diplomate preference parking every where being a challenge - one reasonable person might ask, why the trouble... this place is awesome. Food is great. Wings are legendary. They have great accommodations for sports fans and boast a roof top with a TV upstairs. The pressure for serving drinks is a cinch for the employees here: Particularly Josh who is humble and on the ball! Highly recommend for the game, happy hour or wing night! Do IT! Do It! No pressure, of course! Lolita approves...

It definitely has the vibe of a speakeasy, especially with the jazz band playing. We went with the brunch special which is $35 for bottomless drinks with the purchase of an entree. It pays off if you're having more than 2 drinks and we made sure we did! Bloody Mary's were excellent! The food here was outstanding. I had the 3 Eggs Any Style and my wife had the Breakfast Flatbread. Those dishes as well as our friends were well made and delicious.

We're three young women in the service industry and still felt completely unwelcome--the hostess told us to find our own seating even though the sign said see hostess. The bartender was rude and uninterested, standing 5 min+ at the bar without even being acknowledged. Another staff member was dismissive when closing us out and rolled her eyes when asked to take cash. The overall vibe felt like we weren't wanted, even though it was only around 11 PM. The DJ was underwhelming and the bathroom was vile. The most pleasant part was the below average $20 drinks. For an expensive, well-known spot, this was a very poor experience. Couldn't pay me to return.

Warm lighting, good energy, and a chill crowd make it an easy place to hang whether you're starting your night or winding it down. One of the best parts is the menu. It's super affordable for NYC, but still delivers on quality. Everything feels simple, satisfying, and done right. We ordered the burger and fries, wings and fries, plus a margarita and a mojito. The burger was juicy and filling, the wings were flavorful, and the fries were hot and crispy. The drinks were solid, refreshing, and exactly what you want at a spot like this. Location-wise, it's perfect. The Grizzly Pear is close to so many things, making it a great stop before or after exploring the neighborhood, catching up with friends, or heading to another spot nearby. The service really stood out too. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing, which added to the relaxed vibe of the place. Overall, The Grizzly Pear is a great go-to if you want good food, decent drinks, a cool atmosphere, and fair prices all in one spot. Definitely a place I'd come back to again.

This was not a credit card fee (that I can understand). It is a "transaction fee" that is applied to all invoices. Are you kidding me! I have no trouble paying a an extra dollar for a burger. But if you try to rip me off by sneaking in extra charges, I will never come back. You just lost a regular customer over a $2 charge.

    Came here on a Sunday afternoon in late March, when the sun is just starting to come out again, but…read morethere's still a crispness to the air. They had outdoor seating along 9th ave and 51st street. We sat inside at a hightop , along their big open windows of 9th; great in between of inside and outside. Plenty of options for a big or small group, or solo! Our server was McKenna, who was incredibly attentive, we never felt like we were waiting or had to wave anyone down. The food came quickly, and was great. Nothing that changed our lives, but hot, quick, and delicious. I can see this becoming a regular spot for when we can't decide on where to go and just want somewhere dependable and consistent. Inside is like a typical Irish pub: long bar, wood everywhere, comfy high tops and booth seating along the wall. Keep in mind that it is a sports bar with TVs everywhere, so they will be playing the major sport of the season. The volume isn't too loud though, enough to hear, but don't need to cover your ears. The bottomless option on the weekend is great, 2-3 drinks and you get your money's worth. The bloody's are good quality, with a good bite of Tabasco and horseradish (I prefer that!) and the mimosas are bubbly forward (they're not skimping you with mostly OJ). The food prices for brunch aren't crazy either. Selection is a bit limited, but seeing as this is a pub/tavern, I think they have a pretty good mix. Overall, would absolutely recommend. If you have a big group, have some common sense and book a reservation, but likely able to do walk-ins for small groups, couples, or singles easily. This is a great option for laid back vibes in HK.
