    Mozzarella Sticks
    Matt S.

    Came here for dinner and drinks before a show and the service and speed were both excellent. The bartenders and waitstaff were very friendly and accommodating and our food and drinks were both served very quickly. The mozzarella sticks were amazing and the burgers we got were average. The environment is casual and relaxed with a modern pub theme. Would definitely return!

    Came here for drinks with friends. We were seated right away. It was like 10 of us and the waitress was very attentive. She took our orders and no one waited long for their food or drink. I had a beer and honey sriracha wings. The beer was served cold just how I like it. The wings came out hot and fresh. They were very flavorful and not overly saucy. The spice level is below average for me so your tongue won't be burning. I would go back there just for that. Their peppers were good too. It's a good hangout spot for afterwork and service was great.

    Turtle Bay Tavern is a solid joint! We enjoyed a delicious dinner, opting for a booth in the back of the restaurant. We shared the shishito peppers, followed by the spicy rigatoni and tavern burger. The french fries that accompanied the burger were perfection. Overall Turtle Bay Tavern delivers on food, service, and atmosphere. Repeat customer for sure!

    Cute bar! Cute location! Tons of seating! It was pretty dead which is nice if want to have conversations. Great music played! Service was mediocre. Server made us feel rushed and didn't check on us unless we called him to our table. It was only us and 4 other people in the place. This seems to be common in New York places? Once we ordered, the food was great! We ordered the burger and the nachos. The burger was very tasty!

    Old fashioned

    In town staying nearby. Came to see the final four game. Lots of TVs available to watch the game. Wasn't crowed so service was quick and attentive. No complaints from the group on drinks. This is me being picky but would have liked a large single ice cube for old fashioned vs multi ice cubes.

    Such a great bar seeing and drinking!! Perfect space and very air, great crowed , lightning just perfect! Bar itself beautiful, great selection of spirits, very handsome Irish guys working the bar, but the cocktails and food even better than I just had mentioned everything above. I love that is just few steps from my house. They will see me very often!

    Nachos

    Rockin' new spot in Midtown East pouring cold pints and serving hot tasty food. The aesthetic lends a sense of cleanliness that I really appreciate. I was very impressed with their classic pub burger, and the chili nachos were also satisfying (could've used maybe a little more cheese and chili though). I received great service from the bartender and was amused by the sports event happening on TV; some kind of modern day chariot racing? Prices are average for the neighborhood, so not cheap, but I was happy with what I got for my money.

    This neighborhood spot is so great. We went recently and it was decorated so beautifully for the holidays. The service was great and the food was so tasty. This place definitely gives slightly elevated tavern vibes but still casual and a great place to hangout. Can't wait to go back!

    chicken & waffles
    Nicole G.

    The service was awesome, we went right before the rush for brunch started and they got all our meals out timely! the chicken and waffles and avocado toast were the favorites at the table + the mozz sticks. Surprisingly the burgers were disappointing which was unexpected for a tavern. The ambiance is what you'd expect with a tavern/pub type place with most tables being high tops which I don't prefer.

He was leering at me and making inappropriate comments that made me nauseous. Guy was old enough to be my Dad. Pretty sure he was sneaking pics of me too with his phone. I was waiting for my friend to arrive before going to see a show and ordered a neat scotch and an Allagash White when I sat down. He gives me a look and tells me I "drink like a man". Then made other comments questioning my sexuality. Total misogynistic predator creep. I didn't finish the scotch because I know what Macallan tastes like and that crap he poured me was like Costco booze. Then I worried whether or not he put something fishy in my glass. I couldn't settle the tab and get out of there fast enough. Our plan was to eat there when my friend finally arrived, but f that. Ended up meeting her at the pizza place a few blocks away. Thinking of this dude literally makes my skin crawl. I'm not one to write reviews often, but he shouldn't get away with that behavior. Aren't bars supposed to exude good vibes and provide hospitality? My experience here was not only traumatic, but a total waste of money too.

Maiden signage everywhere, special drinks and food items with an Iron Maiden menu, giveaways, free personalized photo from a Lagunitas rep walking the floor, concert footage on the video screens, Lagunitas Maiden beer, all of the rooftop bar with more banners and band art, along with non-stop Iron Maiden music playing throughout! Plus, there was a large merchandise tent set up on the rooftop which was perfect as we purchased all of the gear we wanted there - shirts, jackets, hats, and other swag - same as what was at the concert which saved us a ton of time not having to wait on the ridiculously long lines at the stadium the next day. We noshed on some tasty wings, nachos, and drank Lagunitas Trooper IPA. Staff was friendly and helpful. The bar area itself was large and getting a table was easy even though it was very busy. Would have been a 5 star review but I had to take one star off since they closed the Eddie's Dive Bar event early, even though they advertised and confirmed it was supposed to run until 4am both Sat & Sun. After the concert on Sunday night ending close to 11pm many did not get back to Manhattan until after midnight due to the PATH train schedule from the stadium. Our group of around 10 people were turned away at 1am with the bouncer telling us the event was now closed. Not cool advertising it until 4am and then doing that. The bar missed out on some good business as many others were also heading there who we spoke with earlier. Oh well, that's a minor complaint as this was otherwise a terrific time.
