Not your typical pub food. My friend and I had a late lunch yesterday and were pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. And also the Expresso Martini! We had a crispy goat cheese salad with lots of stuff in it and the creamy Parmesan risotto and shrimp, which was super delish! The service was excellent. Our waitress was highly attentive. Looks like this could be a regular spot for bites. read more

Came for lunch and was seated right away. Server came quickly and took our order. We split the burger and wings. The burger was overcooked and was too small for the bun, my half had about 2 bites worth of meat on it. The wings were ok, a bit on the dry side. read more

The District had my attention when it first opened 12 years ago. I've put off my review because I thought I would return. I have been pleased that they survived all these years. It appears if you're a fan it's all or nothing compared to the one star reviews! I'm sorry I missed a Yelp UYE years ago. I wanted to meet the other Yelpers but I'm just not a fan of this atmosphere. If you want to know the truth I would go across the street to Barking Dog in a heartbeat!! Check it out and write a review. read more

I have traveled all over NYC and Queens trying the recommended best burger places. I have to say the District so far is in 1st place!!! No need to listen to me just go try it. You will not be sorry!!! This comes from a man named Kubrat can't be wrong I'm the only one in the country with that name! The Burger King of NY!! read more

Stopped in for lunch with a couple of friends and was pleasantly surprised. Although modestly rated by other Yelp reviewers, we found much to like about our experience. To start, a generous happy hour from 12-8. Some decent beers on tap and the food was not too shabby. Service was very friendly. The bartender in particular. We'll be back! read more

Came here on a random weekday for dinner. Ordered the Creamy Parmesan Risotto Shrimp ($28), which tasted really good. Just make sure to let it cool down a bit or you'll burn your tongue like I did. Service is decent. They weren't too busy so it was pretty easy to wave someone down for the check or a refill on drinks. read more

Great tasting. Fresh fries It was really really quickly. Next time I will order the fries without salt. read more

Went there on Valentine's Day. Surprisingly it was only half filled at 7:30pm. (Might be due to three day weekend). Got seated immediately. We ordered right away. Just main entree no appetizers or sides. Kitchen service was horrible. Took over an hour for the food to come out and it was room temperature. The rib eye was medium well which I ordered medium rare. The flavor was just average. My wife enjoyed her salmon and lobster ravioli. Flavors were good but the ravioli was just a frozen ravioli and the salmon was also room temperature. Would have rated lower but the Prices were great for manhattan dining. Waiter service was above average. read more

The District was a bottom five dining experience for me. Tacking on a star for our server, Liam, who seemed to be the only person working on a sunday afternoon. The outdoor seating at The District is far too cramped. There was one table for 6 and it was so shaky it was unusable, so we crammed 5 around a four top. i had to literally climb over chairs to get to my seat, positioned directly against a door to the interior. I sat for so long before a busser even brought water that I ended up ordering at the bar. I got a pretty okay egg sandwich. I don't eat bacon and wanted to sub it out, but I had already been waiting so long that I didn't even bother trying. The chicken salad was a cut up chicken tender on limp lettuce, they forgot a second egg sandwich, and both burgers (ordered medium and medium-rare) came out raw, so we all ate in waves. Other staff would walk by us and somehow not hear 5 people saying "excuse me?" 2 feet from us. Liam, again, did solve every problem while also dealing with an entire restaurant solo. Probably should give him a raise -- other than him, this experience was almost shockingly bad. Would not return and would not recommend. read more

It's a raw 3.5. It wins on decor and I just came back from London, so it was a pleasant surprise to see a real pub. Will come back to watch football but not eat again Food 3/5 The veggie burger was dry and I said a side of broccoli, which means I wanted the fries with the burger but ordered and extra side of broccoli They subbed the broccoli for the fries Burger was so dry I had to order a side of avocado Juniper breeze tasted like a jolly rancher and not cocktail, which can be good or bad depending on your agenda :) Shepherds pie-- WINNER of the night. So much potato AND meat Service 2.5/5 The staff is not busy nor is the restaurant but they are spacey and you gotta flag them down to get their attention Even a side of avocado took over 7 mins albeit nobody else was eating We had to get the bus boy and host because we could not flag down our server in a non busy restaurant Price 4/5 One drink 2 entrees Side of avocado $69 before tip Cleanliness 4/5 Bathroom is 3 stalls in basement Sinks are separate from toilet read more

The District - Pear Apple Avocado Arugula Salad with Feta Cheese and grilled chicken with a happy hour glass of rose - Gastropubs Near Me - New York, New York

We got there at 9:45 pm Friday night and were immediately told that we had to order immediately because the kitchen closes at 10. We ordered chili, chicken pesto sandwich, and the NY strip steak medium rare. After waiting 30 mins they brought us nachos, not chili. We told them of the mistake and about 15 mins later we got the chili which was pretty good. 15 mins after that we got the sandwich which was fine, and the steak which was medium well instead of medium rare. And my martini was luke warm. The waitress and manager were very nice but overall not a great experience. read more

Came to the district because I was looking for a casual brunch place (with walk-in availability) - the menu was pretty standard but the cocktail options were great. Our food came pretty quickly and my French toast was tasty. There's definitely a sports vibe which could be a pro or con, depending. read more

3.5/4 Went for lunch at opening with a friend on a rainy Wednesday. Waitress quickly greeted and allowed us to pick a table. What seemed like "regulars" filled the bar pretty quickly within our stay, rest of the place was pretty empty which was totally ok with us. Ordered a beer, 2 orders of wings and fries. Food arrived in good time. I requested all flats but unfortunately it came out mixed so had to wait a bit longer. The sweet potato fries were tasty. The wings were a bit over sauced but cooked decently. 6 wings for $16 is expensive in my opinion. They promoted all day happy hour deals on the wall and I know they have Tuesday Martini deals... but wish there weekday food deals. Not much of an atmosphere during that time but know it can fill out in the evening. The waitress was kind to let us drag feet in terms of settling out ck (I was waiting for school pick up time) so we appreciated her nonchalance about that and tipped a little extra. Unless for work or asked by a friend, I unfortunately would not be quick to return. I wish the place could be reimagined. Feel like fun places are hard to find in that particular area. read more

First off, we are not experts of Irish food so my review is purely based on one trip to Ireland and experiences in NYC pubs. So the Irish breakfast is authentic with the black and white pudding, grilled tomatoes, and fries. Very tasty and hearty. Cuban sandwich might not be the most authentic but the ham and bacon show they care...coffee is fine. The highlight is the sweet potato fries - crispy and even a little burnt, but I just couldn't stopping eating them! Service overall was good. We got welcomed in with a big smile and got our order within a reasonable waiting time for a Sunday brunch. However, they didn't come back and check in with us later. At the end of the day it's a sports pub for people to gather and have a fun time, not a destination for fine dining. read more

What bar is open late for that last call?!?! This place does and it doesn't disappoint with the cocktails or staff. Coupled with a cool ambiance- you can have a good time. FYI: Some times they show special sporting events like: ufc fights, boxing matches, etc... read more

I stumbled upon this bar while on the upper Eastside. I just missed happy hour but the drinks were still very fairly priced. I was able to get a seat and watch the Knicks play. I ordered Manhattan clam chowder which was a special for that night. It was OK. My cocktail was delicious! The wings were good with the sauce on side. Price point was good and that needs to be acknowledged as sometimes New York's drink prices can be outrageous. Staff was friendly and accommodating. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and they even have a TV in their outdoor area. I Would definitely recommend this place and return again on a Friday night. read more

Such a cute cozy place. The calamari, wings and burger taste amazing. The expresso martini packs a punch. They do have happy hour until 7PM during the week. There is a dim setting throughout the restaurant perfect for a date, hang with friends or to watch a game at the bar. read more

The District is my favorite spot for a casual meal in the neighborhood! It's kid friendly. Everything I've tried on the menu has been great. My personal favorites are the steak sandwich, burger, sweet potato fries, regular french fries, fish and chips and grilled chicken salad. They have a great happy hour too! The service is great and they are super accommodating. Shout out to Mari who is the nicest! read more

This place is definitely a neighborhood go to. This is a cozy and homey bar with good service. It's the kind of place you would want to sit at on a cold winter day and watch the snow falling. I personally do not like their food but my boyfriend really enjoyed their French onion soup. They have a great selection of beers on draft, bottles, wine and cocktails. It's a good late night place and they also have a great happy hour. M-F, 12-8pm. The wines are $7 and it is a nice pour. read more

4/22/2021 The District has become my restaurant of choice when I'm in NY. It's walking distance from the apartment. The food is always good. With Covid as it is however, even though NY has opened up for having indoor dining, I didn't want to on that day, so we ordered in. I ordered an apple-pecan salad. I personally didn't enjoy the bites of crumbled blue cheese so i took out. If you like blue cheese, you will really enjoy this salad. The District Burger was the same. Good, though that was my families order. And the wings were ordered Buffalo, but they sent the sauce for covering. I guess that make sense. We also ordered a cheese cake to share. It was awful. Stale, old. I called to inform them and they refunded me the money for the cost of it. She was very pleasant when calling and apologized several times. Would I eat at The District again? Yes Happy Eats read more

Terrible service. Food takes forever. They brought the wrong drinks and when we ordered the second round it never came. Unless you are desperate for an after work happy hour spot I would this place at all costs. They don't even have the pool tables they advertise online. It wasn't even a busy night for them - I guess they have one chef working? Pathetic experience. read more

Came back here for the first time since they reopened for indoor dining. It was honestly pretty weird. My friend and I always sit at the bar and sat at a table for the first time ever. We ordered calamari and the hummus and pita platter which were both decent. I got a gin and tonic and my friend got gin and soda (gross) and they weren't strong at all. Luckily, our girl Lauren was there and blessed us. She is the main reason we go there. She's awesome. All in all, I'll always be back, because it's so close to my job and has good happy hour drink specials. Follow my food instagram @ms_new_foodie for all my foodie adventures. read more

I have been to this place before but never reviewed it, it's one of the rare cases where a restaurant gets better on your second visit. The place is as well located and nicely decorated as before but now the service has improved markedly (even though everything from hosting to taking orders seem to be made only by one gentleman with black hair who always have a smile) and the food now really is memorable, which wasn't the case on my last visit,by all means try the salmon. I returned three days later and the host/waiter not only remembered me but also was as attentive as the previous time, this time I had the NY steak that while not being medium cooked as I ordered was perfectly seasoned. After that I stayed at the bar and the bartender was efficient and friendly. read more

Went to The District last weekend with my boyfriend and another couple for dinner & drinks. It was my first time here and I will say with absolute certainty, we will definitely be back. My first impression of the establishment was that not only was it tastefully decorated, it was immaculately clean as well. We ordered the mozzarella sticks and The District burgers and were blown away by how delicious the food was. Everything was fresh and the burgers were made to order. The servers and bartenders were so attentive, checking on us frequently to see if we needed anything which was very much appreciated. We can't wait to come back! Highly recommend!! read more

Had dinner here last night. Sat at the bar. The bartender was great and attentive. Had the chicken parm for dinner and it was prepared nicely. Its a nice looking place with high ceilings and antique lighting. Its a little noisy, but that probably has to do with the good music playing and everyone generally enjoying themselves in this place. read more

The place is located in a great spots specially when the weather is nice, they had a big selection of beer although their names should be included in the drink menu. The wings were a solid 6/10 a bit dry and overdone , the sweet potato fries were nice a crispy just needed a little more seasoning . The calamari was great 7/10 and the fish and chips 9/10. The. Salad was ok, but what really brought it home was the apple pie with vanilla ice cream it was absolutely amazing 9/10 . Service was great and quick read more

Tried The District again after a year. Still liked the atmosphere. The food and drink were a good value. Service was ok. The owner is a delightful Irish gent, quick with a handshake and a kind word. But then a sporting event came on the TV. They killed the music and BLASTED the game. I paid my check and hightailed it out of there. read more

I ordered carry out from Grubhub and had a burger which was cooked really well, the bacon was crispy, and I appreciated that there was also a decent amount of pickles which I love on a burger. The bottom bun was soggy which may have just been from it sitting because it was delivered to me. The sweet potato fries were seasoned well but also were a bit soggy. read more

Female bartender with the long black hair is very unpleasant and possibly racist. You're serving people alcohol; get over yourself and show others some respect, even if they're not regulars, your friends, or white-skinned. Wish I didn't tip. Friendliness of staff at an establishment has a positive linear correlation with number of patrons who visit the establishment. read more

Above all else, a corner bar in the heart of the upper east side. I personally love the look and feel of The District. Honestly. You walk in and feel like you're in a hometown bar surrounded by friends. The drinks, solid. For a rainy Sunday in NYC in the fall, nothing but a frothy Guinness will do and it did just fine. The appetizers: hummus and French onion soup, good. The burger and salads with salmon, also good. You won't fall backwards off your chair but that's not what this place seems to be. It's homey and home to the locals. Give it a try for some day drinking or while catching a game simply for the the scene, ample TVs and ease of entry. read more

I love everything about this recent find which has become a new favorite. Not new but new for me, and so good I've been there three times in the past week since finding it. Every Friend I've gone with loved it too. Kitchen is open later than many places, until at least 11pm weekends. Ambiance. Amazing. Comfortable and inviting whether inside and outside. Outside seating with retractable awnings, layered dark brick, and lighting which creates a warm comfortable ambiance. Everything about the Inside is wonderful eye candy for a visual person - spacious, high ceilings, interesting lighting and architectural details, fresh flowers. Great for a date or dinner with friends. Service. Attentive and friendly servers each time. Food and drinks. Mezcal old fashioned was well made and every dish was fantastic: - Tuna tar tar. Big chunks of tuna, delicious. - Steak. Tender, topped with mushrooms and onions, mashed potatoes and tasty spinach on the side: delicious! - Brussel sprouts with a spicy kick- so good! - Calamari with a tasty sauce - Stuffed chicken special with mozzarella, mushrooms and a tasty gravy. Fantastic comfort food. - Pasta with bolognese. Sweet, tasty, amazing! Definitely recommend for dinner and drinks with a date, friends or family. read more
