    Bang Bang Cauliflower
    Jessica J.

    Always my favorite place when I'm in the office. Happy Hour specials are great, food is always delicious and I always comeback for a bowl of their bang bang cauliflower. The place seems small but there's a lot of tables, they do not take reservations so it's first come first serve to get a table or seat at the bar. Staff is always welcoming and efficient.

    Crowded after work spot in the neighborhood. The bartender was really good though. It was just too crowded for me.

    Happy Hour Drinks

    Went here for trivia night (Monday) happy hour. There is. $30 per person minimum spend if participating in trivia night, but it is happy hour prices! The service was good. The trivia was a blast (met some new friends) and some of the drinks were good. The Old Fashioned was NOT good at all, but the Honey Deuce was delicious. Happy hour prices apply until 7 for trivia night. Posted my receipt as I forgot to take pics!

    Pretzel
    Jackie K.

    The food was amazing! Best pretzel I've had and I eat a pretzel at every bar I go to. The sauces were great as well. The grilled cheese hit the spot and stuffed with cheese. I'm sooooo glad they let me substitute the fries instead of soup since I'm allergic. The fries were perfection. Not too salty or oily. I want to come back and I don't even live anywhere near this place. Waitress was nice. The place was clean and nice decor for a bar.

    Dive bar at its finest. Shout out to Kate our server. They have delish spicy margaritas both full and mocktail style. The burger sliders were yummy as were the wings, and pizza. My friends and I were in the back room for a private party. Great fun and great service!

    Killing it with the Halloween decorations!
    Paul V.

    Close to my hotel while I was in the city for work. Walked in at 2:30 and the bar was full but plenty of tables open. The Halloween decorations were AWESOME! It is a Saturday afternoon and they have pretty much every college football game on! I ordered a Oktoberfest beer and the burger. Service was friendly and quick and the food was quick and pretty standard bar food. Overall a good place to go for a drink and or a bite to eat.

    I came here after work and it's a very cozy vibe. My coworkers and I got: - downeast cider - margarita - chicken fingers tossed in buffalo sauce - Caesar salad - tater tots - I really liked these! - 2 tacos (1 beef, 1 chicken) - Beef was better - sliders I love that their happy hour ends at 7 pm.

    Outdoor seating
    Marina B.

    Cute spot for after-work drinks. Prices were steep despite the happy hour ($55 for 2 cocktails and 2 beers) and service only okay (I will admit that it was pretty busy though). The outdoor seating is limited but pretty cute.

    Lunch special: grilled cheese with tomato soup. Added fries on the side.
    Shannon H.

    The lunch special was perfect for something not too heavy. The fires were tasty and their house sauce was really good. The service was good, at night the place was crowded and pretty loud. But overall a good stop for a drink or for some good grinds.

    Buffalo wings
    Paula D.

    During quick visit to New York that coincided with the first night of the Yankees Dodgers, World Series game, we popped into this sports bar for dinner. Lucky to get a nice corner seat and enjoy the happy hour beverages... Five dollar beers - you just can't beat that! The buffalo wings and French onion soup were perfect for a light dinner. Thanks to our servers - who were working their tails off on a very busy evening. They were friendly and kind!

    Shepards Pie
    Monique J.

    My friend and I came on a Wednesday night. The Junction gave me dive bar vibes on the walk in. There was no seating at the bar, and there were a few tables occupied as well. So it was pretty active. We ordered the 3 for $12 green tea shots which were a waste of money (so weak). Mean Fiddler makes them better. My friend had the Shepard pie and I had the buffalo chicken wrap with fries. The wrap had a good portion of chicken included which I appreciated. The crowd looked like college age to 40s.

    Not delivery but you can place an order for pick up on premise or by phone as long as the kitchen is not too busy with in- house orders

    It's a great place to eat , drink and have a great time . What else can you ask for?

    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. I have no clue when we'll be back in Midtown, but one thing's for sure- we're sitting with Josiah again.

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.

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.
