    Wow, it has been a long time since I have had such a bad experience at a bar. Had 3 different bartenders walk straight past me while I was waiting to be served and I eventually had to flag one down after waiting over 15 minutes with them all chatting by the POS system. This is while the bar was not even busy and everyone sitting at the bar besides me had already been served. Ordered a canned cider and a margarita. The margarita was by far the worse one I've ever tasted in my life. Went back and asked for a different drink. They gave it to me with the straw paper floating in the drink. Go anywhere else.

    Great gastro pub in midtown. They have an awesome selection of food items and a fun brunch on the weekends. I really love their pastrami french dip sandwich - it's huge and perfect for sharing with a crowd. The pastrami egg rolls are also delicious, and like crack, you might need a 2nd order of them! They have a little of something for everyone - burgers, flatbreads, and a ton of shashuka style breakfast dishes for brunch! Vibe here is good, they have plenty of TVs for watching sports and it's pretty easy to push a few tables together if you come with a group!

    Solid gastropub on the east side of Manhattan. I had some reservations with the Notre Dame flags flying, but they can't beat anyone good so I moved past it Saw the Chimay on the menu so grabbed one. Kinda interesting having it in a Stella glass, but still a great beer. The wings were your typical Buffalo wings. The Mac and Cheese with bacon was very cheesy and creamy. Thick Canadian bacon on top, provided a little different spin. Rather bland tho. Overall, fit what we were looking for on a Saturday afternoon before heading to the basketball game. Chip shot field goal!

    Fried Chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries

    During my time in NYC, I got to check out this bar that offered great food. This place was the ideal spot to watch the World Cup games, all the screens had it on and the ambience was good. I ordered a chicken sandwich, my only complaint would be that it was heavily seasoned and the fried chicken crust was too salty. I was taking off the crust from the chicken to be able to eat the sandwich, which was delicious (even with the small inconvenience). Prices were fair.

    Happier Hour Margarita
    Veronika B.

    Unnecessarily loud. Happy Hour till 8 if you like to work late, and it includes several drink and food options. I went with the margarita, it was pretty decent. Full bar offers a good selection of beers and cocktails. The vibe here is very casual and relaxed, with a lot of TVs and a pretty large interior so getting seated, or finding a spot at the bar does not seem to be an issue here. I think it's safe to assume they show lots of sports games here. The service was very friendly and prompt. They offer a nice size menu with lots of options for just about any diet. If they turn down the volume I might come back.

    Gigi's Feta Fries

    I literally pass this restaurant everyday on my way to work and figured its about time i sat down and dined in. Came on a Tuesday night with a friend and ordered a few things. Overall the service was excellent, constant water refills and check ins, food recs were great, we really enjoyed the ambiance and food here we started with the Langos and feta fries to share. Langos is literally a fried cheese it was soooo good and gooey. Paired well with our parmesian fries for a little cheese fries moment. The parmesian on our fries didnt stick well but overall enjoyed the dish i mean who hates fries. serving sizes were quite generous too. For entree i got the kims chi burger which was so much i couldnt even finish. came with bacon and a side of sweet potato fries which are my fries of choice - they were just the way i liked them less toasty more soggy. the burger itself i ordered medium rare and it was so juicy and tender. a solid meal with decent prices - will def return!

    Flammekueche
    Christina B.

    Found this place while stumbling around in the city and while I was hung over from the night before (oops and damn NYC and their 4 am partying) it was the fuel I needed to keep touring the city. I had the Flammekueche with a side of onion rings and it was delicious. My bartender was super nice and the bar was SUPER clean. Really enjoyed my experience here!

    Happy hour

    Came here with a friend for happy hour. They were hosting a private event so they had to close at 7pm which they let us know upon arrival. Bummed cause the place is actually really cool and they had good music so I wish we could have stayed longer. They have happy hour from 5 - 8pm Monday to Friday which is a pretty good deal. The place was pretty empty when we got there so the service was really on point. Every 5 - 10 minutes someone would come by to make sure that we were OK. I ended up getting the summer fizz ($7 on happy hour) which was a bit sweet but tasted pretty good and did the trick. Also ended up trying their firecracker meatballs ($9 on happy hour), which had a bit of a kick to it. They were pretty good but nothing too crazy. Also tried to pulled pork sliders ($9 on happy hour) which also tasted pretty good. The bread was soft and the meat flavorful, but for $9, I could have did without. Wouldn't consider this a great deal for happy hour. Overall, a pretty solid choice for drinks and happy hour in the area. Not sure if the food is worth it but the service and drinks were great. Music is on point (maybe a bit loud but still good pop music).

    Burger with fries
    Nikki M.

    Stopped by this place to watch ravens giants game while visiting nyc . And get some lunch. Very relaxed atmosphere. Darker vibes. Everyone at the bar was into games. Great !!! Bartender - joe- was very nice. Busy but tried his best to keep up. Food was good. Burger -small but thick - on point with fries. Cheese curds very yummy. My salad with rare steak was just as i asked for. It's not your regular salad. It's cut smaller. And lettuce is different. But it tasted great. Drinks were refilled. And everyone was very friendly. I would repeat. And try wings and more stuff. Off yet menu. It looks great.

    Definitely will be back here to watch some Sunday football. The food here was so good especially the Korean wings but the service was amazing. Everyone here is so friendly from the waiters to the bartenders. The TVs are also great for watching games. Highly recommend

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.

    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.
