My experience wasn't super here but I had high expectations after having some food and drinks the previous night at the Monkey Thief down the street. Started off with the bartender giving me the stink eye and some lip about asking to sample their many micro-brews - I asked for one sample, it wasn't very good. The bartender's negative attitude made me uncomfortable asking for a second sample. Despite my trepidation and because they had as many as 19 different beers on tap, I asked for a second sample, which caused the bartender to frown at me and 'cut me off at 2.' I responded as positively as I could, accepted the second sample which I also did not enjoy, and took a random shot at a pint of a third beer which also wasn't great. Food was meh. As I now see has been noted in another review, the fried pickles had too much dough and way, way too much grease in them, which likely was the cause of me visiting the toilet a bunch in the morning. The pretzel was a hot pretzel, I don't agree with their choice of mustard as whole grain mustard can be difficult to spread on a hot pretzel but hey that's me. I understand that on Saturday nights people like to cut loose, but no one seemed to ask the women literally screaming with laughter to keep it down at the party in the corner, so this place gets low marks for very loud customers. I mean really there has to be a line somewhere and this was over it. The other bartender was almost apologetically polite when I asked for the check, kind of a good-cop/bad-cop thing going on there. If I wanted that experience I'd get arrested not visit a local bar. You only have one chance at a first impression. read more

This feels like a local bar in Hells kitchen. I found it while staying a few blocks away about 10 years ago. Luckily on this trip, my hotel was similarly as close so I made sure to go there. Great late night bar. They have very good beer selections, I got the chicken wings which were delicious. Super friendly staff. I loved it so much. I bought a hat and a T-shirt. I'm a tourist, but I just sat at the bar quietly and felt like I fit in. read more

My service was cool... however I watched a bartender cuss out an Asian man who was visiting out of the country because he chose not to leave a tip on a $100 tab. I understand that's how bartenders make their money but tipping is a choice not mandatory! They cussed him out slammed his bill on the counter and chased him out. How embarrassing. I'll never return to this place again! read more

A serviceable bar with some great cider selections and a wall of other stuff on tap. I'm giving the low rating because the chicken sliders we got were embarrassingly basic. Chicken and bun. With sauces in the side in lil cups. Just felt really lackluster and with like zero effort. So maybe go for drinks but skip the food. read more

Great local bar with excellent food. I visited twice. First time was lively with trivia, and the second was a bit more calm, but with plenty of personality. The bar tenders are attentive and quick with a joke or a light of your smoke. Perfect atmosphere with a combination of music and sports. The Viking them is great without being overbearing. Great spot in Hells Kitchen you don't want to miss. And it's ok to order the chicken strips and fries, just don't tell my kids. read more

this place was packed for trivia, so we sat outside. The staff was attentive - ordered at the bar but still had people checking on us. I was not impressed with the food; it's bar snack cuisine for sure. Lots of drink options but wish there was more cider (how about a mad selection for a Viking themed bar?). read more

Valhalla is a great pub to catch up with friends and go on first dates. They had a wide selection of beers and have American food on their menu. I didn't eat anything here but I would definitely be open to coming here again! I met a nice girl at the bathroom line we were chatting while waiting to use the bathroom. I'd say it's a cool inviting bar and the crowd is lively. Great location to catch a game. I saw the eagles vs commanders game while on a date night. 10/10 pub recommendation read more

Only $12 cocktails! Service required going up to the bar unless we flag them down. Mac and cheese wedges (2/5) are pieces of fried mac and cheee shaped into nugget. Comes with a spicy ranch dip that was delicious. However, the actual mac and cheese was bland. Loved the halloween themed decor!! Vibes were nice and chill. Not loud either. read more

I was the plus one of a friend's mini reunion and we ended up at this place when no one wanted the night to end. Although this place is likely best known for their beer selection and bar bites, we went with cocktails. The cocktails were strong, service was fast and it seemed like the prices were fair although I didn't pick up the tab. They do offer a seemingly nice little happy hour but you'll have to catch it before 8pm. Bathrooms were clean and there were lots of televisions if you want to catch a game. They have front sliding doors that open onto the sidewalk which was perfect for a nice breeze when we were there. Atmosphere was very relaxed and casual. The decor is kitschy and there is a lot of it. I would definitely return to try the food and see if the cocktails are just as strong during happy hour. Stop by and feel free to bring a lively crowd. read more

The next bar we visited on our pub crawl in Hell's Kitchen was Valhalla. It was a super fun spot and we all loved our visit. Located on the corner of a block, all the side windows were open to the pleasant coolness of springtime. Despite being packed, we got a table toward the front relatively quickly and I ordered a flight of fun beers from around the area. The theme of the decor was Nordic/Viking, which was a fun vibe. It was a welcoming place, with friendly servers and bartenders. The digital menus were easy to read, so it was fun to choose a bunch of great beers. Prices were reasonable for NYC and worth the fun we had here. If you're a beer fan and like unique bars, it's worth checking out. read more

The interior creates just the right mood for their style of food. The setting here creates its own category. The food failed to create any excitement. I'm determined to come back to this place. The service and food leave nothing lacking. read more

This place was great. We had a few hours to kill in the city so made a stop at this place They had a great beer selection. They even had beers from Iceland! The bartender was super friendly and the place had a great vibe. We had the French fries and they were very good. read more

Good beer I got the Brooklyn summer ale and narragansett lager good beer and great happy hour deals- I didn't get one but they had $5 margs as well The bartenders were both super nice and quick. Good bar, just a good overall vibe if im ever back in the area I'll definitely come again read more

Checked this place out with my gal pal and it was pretty nostalgic. I passed this spot so many times since I was a young gal but never thought to give them a try... despite always being intrigued - weird right? I know! Well alas it was fate when I looked up places to satisfy my wings craving and got a hit for Valhalla. Once you walk in it's like you're part of an ode to viking culture (hence the name). I love the decor. Staff were very friendly, food was on point! I enjoyed the Apple Cider Margarita (so cool!) but I will say my friend wasn't too fond of her espresso martini- Kudos to the bartender who acknowledge his lack of supplies attributed to the poor taste; he removed it from our bill without being asked! I will definitely be back for the poppers and wings :) Also, if you're a beer person, this is def a must. Large selection read more

Solid bar for beers and hanging out with friends! Valhalla has a good variety of beers and I'm not really a beer drinker. I recently had a fun cotton candy watermelon sour, which was delicious! read more

Fun themed bar especially if you're into anything Viking related. I came here with one of my very good friends who just happens to have a heavy interest in all things viking, more than me lol. And one of the things that people like my dear friend know when it comes to vikings is MEAD and it's made in house! The moment it was spotted on the menu, the glimmer in their eyes was enough to make anyone's heart smile lol. I personally thought it didn't taste good LOL but my friend was like a kid in a candy store :) The bartenders were incredibly nice and even gave us some Valhalla stickers. Made the sticker collector in me so giddy. I had such an amazing time with good company, good drinks and even gooder times :) read more

My boyfriend and I's favorite spot to grab a basket of hand-cut fries and wings. The fries here are a must! They are thick but super crispy and delicious, the best thick cut fries I've ever had without being soggy. We always get the buffalo wings and house-made korean bbq sauce wings. Don't forget the house-made blue cheese too, it's delicious! This place gets pretty crowded on weekend nights, we usually luck out and snag a high top table. The staff are efficient and the beer selection here is wide. Definitely a cool spot to end or start a night! read more

I'm a lifelong NY'er who knows his bars. This bar is perhaps the most overpriced bar not including business attire bars. I'll give it one star because there are some good and unusual beers from Europe.But $12 for nonalcoholic Athletica when a six pack goes for the same price in every supermarket. And $9 for mediocre crafts in the afternoon. PASS! read more

It's good if you're just wanting a beverage (sort of quickly). Can be quite loud, so check out what the vibe is like before you set. My only real gripe is I ordered a club soda (seltzer) along with my drinks and the club soda was $7 which is kind of insane - plus tax and tip that added $10 to my bill. So,,,, ask before you order? read more

After living in NY for 10 years I'd say this is one of the best bars for a local. The bartender was friendly, let my small party occupy a large table and asked if we'd be open to moving if a larger group showed up, which was super courteous. On draft beer selection is just right. There's a beer selection for almost any drinker from gluten-free to stout lovers and there's some great local beers! read more

One of my favorite bars to hang and drink with friends. You get to watch the game while drinking a beer or eating a snack. The service is great and the beers excellent. My friend likes the fries with the Siracha Aioli (may need to ask for it with an extra charge). It's a little pricey but it's the usual for NYC. There's happy hour and days that they are discounted, just be on the lookout. read more

I have been searching for a good pregame spot near Terminal 5. There aren't many options nearby. Valhalla seems to be the closest and I'm glad I found it. This is a sports bar with dive bar charm. To me, what stood out the most was the service from the staff. Service goes a long way and this staff didn't disappoint. My brother arrived before I did and he snagged whatever table he could find. The table was located near the entrance. An employee approached him and moved him to a better table. Every time someone flagged down the waitress, she would attend to them and if she was busy she would politely ask to come back in 5 minutes (she always came back). The crowd was a mix of coworkers attending happy hour (I saw a sign where they called it angry hour) and groups of men watching whatever game is on at the time. I'm not much of a beer person but I was able to order a gin & tonic no problem. Nice casual spot with good service so visit it to pregame a concert at Terminal 5 or bring your sports fan friends to have a good time. read more

This place used to be our go-to for Monday night trivia, but a few things have led us to find a new bar They stopped table service! It's really not fun to try to play trivia when you have to get up and go to the bar for all your food and drink orders. They used to do table service and were constantly roaming the floor so you could easily grab someone The new Monday night bartender was just really weird, seemed like he was sulking and acted very unhappy to be there---we later found out he was the owner The prices have really gone up---I like to order a whiskey sour with house whiskey, and the HOUSE!!!! whiskey is now over $14 read more

If you spell the name out loud you will find it sounds like you are laughing. The pub vibe is pretty wild. I felt I have taken out all my stress after the visit. Both my friend and I had a nice experience here. I recommend local brew beer and chicken wings. It never goes wrong to order these combo. We were treated with a great table service as well. Paid 30% tips. Recommend! read more

Great little pub! I went out with some friends and one of them recommended this place sine they live a few blocks away. For a Friday night it wasn't too busy and we were able to get a table right away. The service was great and the waiters were really attentive to us. I had the sliders and soda since I was finished drinking for the night by the time we got there. The food was good, nothing too special. My friends enjoyed their beers and shots. It wasn't too loud and we were able to have a conversation without having to yell at each other like at some other spots. I think we were one of the last two groups there that night. Overall good spot and I would definitely come back next time I'm in the area. read more

The angus beef sliders are amazing. Watching football here was so much fun. Great atmosphere. The bartenders were friendly.

Stopped in because cold beverages were in order after miles of walking through the city. They have a good selection and I inhaled my selection (see photo). Hubs went with an IPA (of course). Our server was nice and the vibe was relaxed. We sat near the door and got to watch film students shoot a scene over and over on the sidewalk. Love the randomness of NYC! read more

Stopped in on Friday night arriving in the middle of the holiday weekend, the place was packed, standing room only, but we lucked out as two guys were leaving and gave us their seats at the bar. Then it was on to selecting a beer, as a craft beer fan from Cincinnati, I enjoy a great craft beer and dug into the menu of 48 beers on tap, but was hard to decide. Gail was our bartender very friendly, generous and helped me with my beer selections despite how busy the bar was that night. I started with Simple Sour from Peekskill Brewing very refreshing after my travels to the city. Then for my next beer she recommended Pseudo Sue from Toppling Goliath Brewery in Iowa, this was delicious Pale Ale with just enough bite with grapefruit, citrus and mango flavor. We were getting hungry so we ordered the homemade spinach and artichoke dip and the fried pickles. The food arrived in minutes and was hot out of the kitchen, the pickles were so hot, we had to wait to eat, but dug right into the dip just right to go with our beers. I liked the Pseudo Sue so much, I had another and then went with another of Gail's selections Sip of Sunshine IPA from Lawson's Finest Liquids in Stratford, CT Valhalla is great bar in NYC in Hell's Kitchen neighborhood - definitely a must visit in NYC for any craft beer fan & ask for Gail, she's rockstar behind the bar! read more

What a pleasant surprise. We stopped in for a light lunch on a sunny Sunday afternoon and this fit the bill. A huge variety of draft beers and a simple menu of about ten items, yes only ten items. But...they have a lunch special for $14 that you get a menu item and your choice of draft for $14. Funny thing is, most menu items are $14 so basically the beer is free. Great service. Fun decor with very sturdy wooden, picnic type tables and high tops with stools. TVs for sports fans. A relaxing, comfortable place. Great chicken and burger sliders and really good artichoke dip. The hand cut French fries are delicious and accompany most dishes. We will be back! read more

Valhalla offers a wealth of excellent and unique beer options in an area with a dearth of craft beer bars, along with a standard and passable bar food menu with the important virtue of being offered late (until 1-2am most nights). Setting is pretty cool, and it's a nice size, neither cramped nor epic--like a mini beer hall. Perhaps it's the Manhattan locale as opposed to the Brooklyn craft spots I frequent, but I don't quite feel as home here. Find the service a bit distant, and at times condescending--my wife and her friend felt particularly so as female beer aficionado patrons. In other words, don't expect much discussion of flavors/styles--come to the bar with your order ready. Despite some diffident/questionable service, if you are in this neighborhood and hankering for quality beer options, you won't find a better option. Food is overly greasy/fatty, even by bar food standards--fine if you're already a few beers in and want a snack, but I wouldn't go out of my way to plan a meal here. (Fried pickles are generally one of my favorites, but these just feel like a grease bomb.) read more
