    So first off the drinks where terrible and the bartender did not know what was in them or how to make other drinks that weren't on the menu . They all came out tasting different I opted out and drank vodka straight easy. The best was the charcuterie everybody enjoy that. We had a private area for a party but still had to order are drinks from the bar. I was confused if you get a section is should have a waitress. But whatever it is a sports bar nice decor but hopefully the drinks get better tasting 6/10

    Throwback food, warm atmosphere and welcoming people allowed me to have a wonderful retirement and birthday events. I love this place. I sang I danced and I ate at 70 years old.

    It's so nice to have a sports bar in the West 90s. The menu is small but everything is good. There is a full bar and for a sports bar the cocktails are quite great. There are pinball machines downstairs.

    The BEST sports bar on the upper west side with great drinks, awesome food, pinball games, and a man cave downstairs. Come through!

    Came by spontaneously to watch a UCL game on a Wednesday early afternoon. They were very accommodating finding the game for me, they also know how to pour a pint of Guinness which for me watching a game is a must! Food is pretty tasty as well, Dimitri the bartender was very nice. I'd come back anytime to watch a game here.

    What an incredibly cool bar and in a place that really needed an incredibly cool bar. I met some friends there on Valentine's Day because I was visiting the city. I moved from NYC a few years ago and bars like this makes me want to move back so bad. You walk in and it's got this cool vibe, a mixture of retro and polished. I didn't spend any time upstairs, we went straight downstairs, but that's where the party was. They have pinball machines and a jukebox and you can play video games on their two screens set up by the bar. They have a nice sitting area arranged around the video game area. We sat at the bar. I read a review about someone saying the people here weren't friendly, I would venture to say they are more friendly than any NY bar i've ever been to. We were waited on by more than one person at a time. Service was excellent. Me and my two friends ordered drinks, I don't know what they had, but I had a really great IPA. We also ordered the mozz sticks, the TB Crash Board, and the Valentine's Day prix fixe menu. The V-Day meal was spectacular! I don't remember what everything was called but the salad they brought out was so fresh and so good, the mac & cheese balls, obviously epic, the shrimp with truffle tots, oh my God what in the world? Amazing. The peach cobbler, coming from someone from Texas, was extra elevated, whew. This bar is a keeper, even if you're just there for drinks and games, it's cozy, it's welcoming and it's perfect. As an aside, I believe one of the owners is from Wisconsin and I know for a fact, it's in their state charter, they're not allowed to be rude. Best V-Day ever!

Ask for Ahijanae she was great and really knew her stuff. She gave solid recommendations, especially for the appetizers. I ordered the French onion soup and my friend got the wings both were really good. For mains, he had the hickory BBQ burger with onion rings and I got the bulgogi tacos with kimchi fried rice... OMG. That combo right there? Yeah, I'm definitely coming back just for that. My friend said his burger was really good too. The place itself was clean, the ambiance was nice, not too loud, and there were plenty of TVs to catch the games. Overall just a really good vibe. Definitely adding this to my regular spots.

    Decent beer selection and a solid overall bar. The food is good with a wide variety of options, but…read moremy favorite is the pizza. The burgers are good too but I do not like the sauce they use. It's the same sauce they use for the sushi so it just taste weird on the burger, in my opinion. Just keep that in mind and maybe get it on the side or say no sauce like I do. They offer tasty desserts you don't typically find elsewhere. The space itself is large, clean, and well-maintained, with plenty of TVs, making it a good spot for watching games or gathering with friends. There is plenty of parking, but sometimes that parking is a bit of a walk if it's a busy time but typically always find parking... rarely have to go to the underground parking lot. Service can be inconsistent, especially when it comes to larger groups or parties, which can slow things down at times. Overall, while it's not my top choice, it's a place I still enjoy going to and will continue to return to.

    *kindly note this Olde City Cheesesteaks location is really for take out/delivery, located on…read moreamsterdam ave bwn 69th and 70th (across from H Mart) Customer Service: 5 Food Taste + Quality: 5 Menu Selection: 4 I have ordered from this Olde City location thrice, however the first two times were within their first 2 weeks of opening so I waited until now to review. This is a great grab and go/delivery alternative to Wonder, at much higher quality. The first time I ordered just aioli garlic fries to try the place out. they were hot, tasty, and a generous portion- just what I was craving coming home late. I then tried their special cheesesteak w brocolli and provolone which was also good and ordered chicken tenders for a friend. I tried my friend's chicken tenders and they were great so ordered those for my 3rd visit. They usually come 4 large tenders to an order with a sauce of your choice. A testament to their taste- I ate 2 and saved 2 for the next day and a family member visiting got to them before I did, and then asked where they were from to order more! I appreciate being able to have a selection of sauces to choose from and the portion size for the sauce is a larger cup than most places. The first time I ordered the tenders for my friend they had been sliced into- but that has not happened since and those tenders were especially large. It was their initial opening period and my guess is they did that to ensure the chicken was thoroughly cooked. The tenders were still hot and not dry. For ordering: you can either order online or in store at one of the two large digital tablets - luddites fear not- each time I have visited, I was warmly greeted by a staff member I now know to be named Justine who offered assistance and to let her know abt any questions regarding the menu or ordering. For customer service: there was a mistake with one of my first orders. I submitted a form on the website and was contacted that evening. It was handled promptly and professionally. I would probably give them 4 stars if not for the exceptional service and their first month open, what would really be lovely to see on the menu salads or a side vegetable as the other Olde City locations have. Hoping they're able to expand their menu as they establish their roots but wishing this business success!

    We loved the cheesesteak! It was delicious with tons of meat. Their bread is great as well. Would…read moredefinitely recommend. We ordered online and our order was ready on time. They're a small shop with most people picking up to go. They have a standing bar to eat at. We stayed to eat, and the man working was super nice and gave us extra napkins and hand wipes. I highly recommend them for a cheesesteak!
