    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!

    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!

    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.

    Burger
    Julie E.

    Enjoyed checking out this new tavern. Great ambiance and we had a large group and didn't feel crowded. Drinks were great. Burger I'd pass on. It was alright but nothing special really. Cheese sticks were fantastic, extra thick, perfect crunch but not too heavily breaded, and a spicy red sauce for dipping. Very loud inside. Expect to shout to talk to the person next to you. Great vibe and staff is top notch. Would return.

    I am in love with this place! This place is so cozy and vibrant!

    I am in love with this place! This place is so cozy and vibrant. The staff is great, they very responsive and friendly, and last but least they have great and amazing burgers and others dishes as well. I highly recommend to visit Turtle Bay Tavern in NYC!

    Amazing ambiance, great music and better drinks!
    Gloria R.

    Love the new Turtle Bay Tavern! The neighborhood needed a good bar that is easy to pop into any time of the day. Servers were all very attentive, music was amazing and this will be a place we will go often! So excited for everyone to experience this amazing new neighborhood staple.

    As you can see the receipt says "to go"

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.

The atmosphere definitely caters to the tourist crowd. The music was okay, but I wish it had a more upbeat, youthful vibe to match the energy of Times Square. We started with the poke nachos, and they were incredibly fresh and easily my favorite appetizer. I highly recommend ordering them. The boneless wings, however, were disappointingthey were over breaded and didn't have much chicken inside. The Caesar salad was just average, nothing memorable. The BBQ burger was cooked perfectly and was hands down the best entrée we ordered. I'd definitely come back just for that. The drinks were good, but they're definitely overpriced, even by Times Square standards. truffle fries would of been good but they were cold Overall, it's a solid stop if you're in the area, especially for the burgers and poke nachos.
