    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.

    I used to wonder what a bar that paid for a bunch of good reviews look like. Now I know. The bartender insisted that we walk up to the bar to give our order, even though they were three people at his bar and one table in the bar area. This is Monday Night Football playoff with the Steelers versus the Houston Texans, and he had the TV all on different stations and only one on the game until I asked him to put it up on all TVs. When I did ask him if he was gonna put it on the TVs, he said, "I'm actually going to turn them all off. Of course I'm gonna put the game on the TVs, what kind of sports bar would this be if we didn't have important games on the TV?" Never mind that four people had walked in to his empty bar in the last half hour, and he didn't say a word to them until they came up to the bar. Never mind that he was having beers and shots with one of his regulars and ignoring the other people at the bar. Never mind that when I asked for a refill of diet soda for my wife, he didn't add any ice and just poured the flat Diet Coke over the top of the water down Coke that was already in the glass. I seriously think he must be the owner, he's a billionaire, and it's just looking for a tax write off. The food was made, but the girl who cooked it at least came upstairs and talked to us, so we knew we weren't in a twilight zone episode, where people who work in a bar don't actually ever talk to you. I can't recommend Blondies enough. Super helpful staff, they were super fast, and they were packed for the games yesterday. Way different than this place. The picture of the excellent Bartender is attached.

    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.

    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.

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

    This is the bar you want to go to if you want to have an amazing time with great food and a staff that actually cares if you have a good time. Couldn't recommend it more. The owners (Alex and Britt) have created a space that feels like your local bar that you go to see all of your friends after a long day. If you live anywhere near here and you haven't been, you're missing out. Be sure to ask when Danny and Chante are working. But every single bartender at this place is amazing.

    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!

    We visited Amity Hall to celebrate a friend and colleague's birthday, and it was a great experience…read morefrom the moment we arrived. Our group of twelve showed up without a reservation, yet the staff was incredibly accommodating and quickly arranged outdoor seating for all of us. We ordered margaritas, red and white wine, spritzers, and frosé. Every drink was excellent, and Happy Hour made it even better. We only ordered fries since we were mainly there for drinks, but the service truly made the visit stand out. The young women who took care of our table were patient, friendly, and very attentive. Even with a large group, we never felt rushed and were able to enjoy our time comfortably. It was a relaxed and enjoyable visit, and we would definitely return.

    My sis and I came here for a quick bite and were pleasantly surprised at the happy hour and food…read morespecials. $6 espresso martinis and a $12 smash burger lunch special, so for $20 you can have quite a nice little lunch. The servers were great and checked in regularly to make sure we were good. We also appreciated what I think was the manager watching our drinks because at $6 a martini we had to have one more, yes, they were that good. We stood for maybe 2.5 hrs and left so happy with a full belly and new memories created. Definitely a cute little spot for a solo quick bite, a nice little date night that's more on the casual side, or coming with a group of friends. While we came here for lunch during the week they did have other great food options available and weekend specials if that's something of interest. The ambiance is sexy and grown and still has a sports bar vibe. It's warm and inviting as well as cozy with the lighting. They have a fully stocked bar with 2 bars front and back. As mentioned earlier, they have daily and weekend specials for both food and drink. This place is definitely a must try and I will be coming back.

    *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!

The drinks were pretty good too! Ordered the nachos, no beans and they were delish! The wings were good as well. We demolished them to say the least.

Because the menu indicated fries cost extra, I confirmed twice it wasn't the case. (Was served with bun and sent it back to replace with the lettuce wrap I had been offered ). When the check came I was charged 4$ for fries. Of course I questioned it and the server acknowledged she had told me no extra charge. Out of the blue a guy came over holding the menu. Started to tell me fries are extra. I told him "ask your waitress." He attempted three more times to "explain to me". Each time I repeated "I don't need you to." He told me I'm rude and then "very rude ." Who is this guy? Why did he need to involve himself? Already two servers were involved.
