    The bar
    Ebony M.

    Scruffy Duffy's has the best wings, and bar food in NYC. The food is always prepared fresh, great taste, and quality. Service is always good. The prices of food have increased dramatically. The bar, and restaurant area was dead, most likely due to the Knicks being done for the season. Nevertheless the atmosphere is always excellent, each visit I always meet great people that are either visiting from Europe or a local.w

    Very fun bar. Stopped in on a Saturday and had a chill time at the bar with a few drinks. Bartender was friendly and quick. Clean bathrooms.

    Bar area: TV's & Taps

    Found on Yelp. Walked a bit in the rain and was rewarded with a seat at the bar, excellent service, good wings & fries and the largest Bavarian pretzel (two of them actually) ever. Place got super busy as it was a Knicks/Celtics night, but still had a TV or two (wasn't three...) tuned to hockey. Bar staff was fantastic; highly recommended if you're in the Hudson Yards / Hell's Kitchen. I'll DEF be back.

    Onion rings
    Mel T.

    What a cool bar with fun vibes! We were meeting friends for lunch next door on a Sunday afternoon but had some time to kill and stopped in for a drink. When we found out they were running late, we were getting hungry and ordered some onion rings. I wasn't expecting much from bar food but the onion rings were pretty good and definitely hit the spot. Plus, drink prices are reasonable, and the place feels clean. We actually ended up popping back after lunch for another drink. There was a football game going on, and the staff was playing some kind of contest to engage the crowd. If I knew about this spot back in my youth, I can definitely see it as a bar I would have frequented.

    I wanted to start getting around the City and were best to start? Well a sports bar of course! "Scruffy Duffy''s" has been on my radar for a while now. So after some downtime at work, I walked over. Walking is the best way, driving you risk waiting for parking. The outside of the building has that old history feel and the inside matches that point. Dark wood and low lights with oldies playing in the background. It was a nice touch. The booths are high and the tables are old, but that is the charm with a place like this. One of the two bartenders came and served me and he was nice enough. He took my order and put it in quick. It was slow, so my meal came out quick. The wings looked incredible, that and a great smell of the pizza, I knew I was in trouble...the good kind. The wings were amazing! The perfect texture mixed with great sauce. I only wish the blue cheese was better. The pizza delivered as well. Great flavor, I only wish they used a little more cheese. The last negative was the price. They changed two dollars a wing. That's steep where I'm from. But they tasted so good. I think regardless of the overpriced menu, I would come back. Next I have my sights on a burger. I hope they add cheese, did I ever mention I love cheese!

    Excellent bartender! My martini order is so annoyingly specific and the bartender didn't judge me and made it to PERFECTION! Haha! Thank you SO much.

    Really cool neighborhood type bar that has chill vibe. Plenty of TVs too if you're trying to catch a game. They have a second room also for more seating and partying.

    chicken wings and carrots
    Gerardo V.

    Wings are great! Good options. We got the hot (Buffalo style; hot ain't too hot, for those who like a little kick), the bbq, and the Thai chili. Beer list is decent, there is variety, which is awesome. Space was laid back and pub-esque. Bartenders also come around for table service and run food, though we were in at 545p when it was empty. Def started filling out as the night went on. Would def come back!

    Traditional Wings w/ Garlic Parm Sauce
    Adam B.

    Lots of TVs for sports watching and they seem more than happy to switch to a particular game you request, if it's not already on. Very large draft beer selection, with many local New York breweries (though they seem to all be IPAs). However, a limited food menu that is a bit hit-or-miss. Traditional Wings w/ Garlic Parm Sauce: For all the bragging they do about their house wing sauces, they're just ok. The wings themselves were nice and crispy, almost like Korean Fried Chicken. The garlic parm was quite garlicky and dusted with parmesan cheese. Tasted nice by itself, but got overpowered in the bleu cheese dip. Also, only option is an 8 wing order, which feels kinda skimpy. Buffalo Nachos w/ Medium Sauce: A much heartier option than the wings. Nacho chips with a cheese blend baked on, like regular bar nachos, but that's the only commonality. These had large chunks of shredded chicken tossed in a traditional wings sauce. Plus loads of ranch dressing drizzled on. And some some small celery bits and scallions. Also, bleu cheese dressing on the side if the ranch isn't enough for you. Since I've had tons of Mexican-inspired bar nachos over the years, it was nice to have something more original.

    Honestly if you described my experience here on a Sunday night I wouldn't believe you. We must have been there at the same time as the short kingz bar crawl because these little fellas were all over the place. They even had a can of Lysol disinfectant spray they let me borrow. Great spot to watch sports. They had on the ALS games, Sunday night football, and even a soccer match. Good classic sports pub with a fun crown interaction. Buffalo Chicken Sandwich was mid and they ran out of pop. Would probably come again though.

    Step into the new 3 Monkeys, a tri-level playground of grit and glamour -- exposed brick that looks…read morelike it survived Prohibition, tin and copper ceiling tiles that wink under amber mood lighting, and a wooden bar polished by a thousand high-fives. Surrounding TVs keep every play, fight and miracle replayed in glorious surround-sass while wooden tables beg for pitchers, pretzels and conspiracy theories about the ref. Whether you're upstairs for the 3rd floor vibe, mid-level for the perfect sightline, or down in the cozy den with the best acoustics, this is New York sports bar energy: loud, a little brazen, impossibly welcoming. One particular bartender, Delaney not only brings an awesome level of energy to the bar, she saunters in like a halftime show -- a grin that's equal parts mischief and welcome. She's all quick elbows and quicker comebacks, the kind of bartender who remembers your name, your drink, and that one ridiculous story you told months ago. Her laugh is loud, her wink is devious, and she has a way of making first-timers feel like regulars by the second round. Behind the wooden bar she's choreography: expert pours, theatrical muddles, and a flourish that makes every order feel curated. Delaney's drinks are personality-packed, with her behind the bar, the place doesn't just serve drinks -- it gets its personality back. It's a place off 8th ave where fitness meets fun, and every corner feels like home--complete with friendly staff who know your name (or at least your size) and are always ready to offer a witty comeback or a perfect recommendation. Cheers!

Taking off a star because I had a weird experience with the people at the front. I'm currently recovering from an injury and I'm in a pretty obvious neck brace. I was visiting with two people who were on their way and would be arriving in about 10-15 minutes and the people at the front told me I couldn't be seated until they arrived. I understand that this is normal protocol, but I pointed out my neck brace and asked if an exception could be made because it's significantly more comfortable for me to sit down (and there was no room at the bar). They said that their manager wouldn't let them do that, and that they couldn't seat me until the rest of my party was there. There were tons of table tables available the entire time and when my friend arrived about 12 minutes later, they seated us, I totally could've sat the whole time and it wouldn't have been a problem. Not the end of the world and I probably could've pushed it harder, but it definitely was a little awkward!

We reserved for a quick bite at Redeye Grill before catching Dog Day Afternoon on Broadway, but as soon as we walked up, some bouncer told us they were closed for a private wedding reception. We were dazed and confused because how was I able to reserve online? But the real plot twist was that it ended up being the best thing that happened. We actually stumbled into Tanner Smith's thinking it'd be the typical, boring bar-food spot. Nope. They first sat us at a hi-top by the door, but that wasn't our vibe, so we grabbed seats at the bar instead. Best decision. Our bartender, Josiah, was absolutely killing it. My cocktail had passion fruit, so of course I asked my usual question: "But is it real passion fruit?" He just nodded in agreement and that told me everything I needed to know. That drink was legit and had nice strength. The food was great too. My fish tacos were packed with fresh fish, the guacamole and salsa were chunky and full of flavor and hubs enjoyed his pastrami sandwich.

The shepherd's pie is insanely salty and it's very off-putting. It was inedible. I was looking forward to having it but I would not in good faith recommend this to anyone. The buttermilk tenders is supposed to come with pickled shallots and marinated green beans. We didn't get the pickled shallots or the marinated green beans, which was a shame. The chicken tenders by themselves didn't have much flavor. It also is unfortunate paying $17 for what was considered a small plate and just getting the chicken tenders. The Asian-sesame wings were okay. Also, didn't have much flavor and weren't that impressive. There was also still hair on some of the pieces of chicken, so the chicken could have been cleaned better. They have fries and hand cut fries. The regular fries were soggy. Should have went with the hand cut fries. The tater tots were okay. I was told that the chicken sandwich was good. It came with a little side of rustic chips. I would not come back for the food but I would possibly go back to try a drink if I was in the area. The drink menu looked pretty good.

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.
