I don't know how my boyfriend and I found this place right after Rockefeller Center, but I'm so glad we did! Everyone was nice here. They had the football game on too which was a plus! I could see us definitely coming back here if we were in the area. Drinks were affordable and it was a great place to stay out of the snow for a few too. It was cozy and super chill! read more

This was such a lively bar that has a dive feel, but not grungy and dirty. Our group came by for some drinks after dinner and to watch the game, which was perfect. It was such a busy night with only two bartenders, but they were working quick. I like all the drink deals they had with shots for $8 and cocktails for $12 --great prices for Manhattan. We ended up with two rounds of shots: Casamigos and Green Tea shots. Then we had a few cocktails to enjoy while we watched the game. There's a private lounge area with a TV upstairs, which felt like VIP. This would be such a great spot for big groups. When I was closing out my tab, I noticed I was charged an extra drink. When I told the bartender, she was apologetic and remedied the situation right away despite how busy she was, so appreciate that. read more

Came to Whiskey Trader before a birthday dinner in Midtown for just beers and some surprise shots! Loved how they decorated it for Halloween (I'm a sucker for any establishment that decorates for Halloween in New York FYI). The shot specials were interesting. I think it was like $9 for a shot of Casamigos and $9 for a whiskey pickle back. Seeing as my friend had never had a pickle back before, we decided to do that and he loved it. The waitress was great. Honestly, can't think of anything else! Fun bar. read more

Man caves do exist outside your basement. Good drinks, good service, big TVs, amazing vibes (music), free popcorn, and a large selection of whisky and beer. The bartenders here are friendly and fun. Natalia is one of my favorite bartenders. She is attentive, witty, and fun to talk to. She will make you feel welcome and treat you like the way you want to be treated after a long day, with respect. Mads is always zooming around around with a smile on her face bringing you round after round. She is diligent , hard working, and will have your next drink in your hand before you can say "uno mass". This place is always a perfect go to spot to unwind after a long day in the office without breaking the bank. I would highly recommend to all of my bros out there. Ladies, just because there are a lot more men in this establishment should not scare you off. The patrons here are always respectful. I highly recommend this spot. read more

Tuesday 5:30pm My interpretation of Cheers . It's my work neighborhood bar, a place to stop by for a drink or two pre / post dinner with colleagues . Think from dusk til dawn in midtown Manhattan. Reasonable no frills bar full of midtown work people. It's no mixology bar, rather if beer is your drink of choice , this is the place to be . Fun place ! Popcorn is definitely one of the reasons why one would come back . read more

Well, they meant business with their margarita for sure! Just last week, I went to a 'better looking' looking bar in midtown east that served super watered down cocktails. So a couple of sips into this one and I knew they meant business. I asked them to make it with mezcal instead of tequila. Sure they didn't serve it in a margarita, but taste wise, alcohol wise, they delivered on point! read more

A frequent go-to bar for myself and my friends over the years. They have good drink deals and great happy hours. It's a personal favorite bar since they have pickle back shots. The usual happy hour is house wine, prosecco, and some cocktails like a peril spritz, espresso martinis. I usually stick with the shots and prosecco but the cocktails are hit or miss depending on how busy it is. Most recent we went and got the upstairs lounge which was spacious and and service was timely and came by every 20 or so minutes. They have beer pong tables set up in the back. The bathrooms are pretty clean for bar standards. The servers are always nice. The general crowd is young adults coming from corporate/finance jobs near by. You'll see lots of guys in suits just chatting or watching sports. read more

I bet this bar was great like 3-5 years ago and then they just gave up and jacked up the prices on everything. I love a good whiskey. I had time to kill last week waiting for a friend and yelped 'cheap bars' from where I was supposed to meet her. This popped up and I'm like 'cheap and whiskey - sold' if it's anything like the Whiskey Ward on the LE side then I'm going to be very happy in mere seconds. Oh, but wait. It's nothing like that place. It's been overthrown by the bros of Midtown. Tonight you'll be pleasantly surprised to find out that the only deal on happy hour is Budweiser. Other happy hour options - $9 wine (WAIT, this is happy Hour and not real hour prices?!), $7 shots (I'm not 21, pass), $11 Moscow Mules and Aperol Spritzes. Again, I came to a whiskey bar - not going to spend money on the price of an actual cocktail during happy hour in a crap bar where I literally have to fight folks to get to the bar to place an order. I caved and got a ridiculously expensive glass of wine. Awkwardly downed it while I fiddled with my phone wedged in between a number of couples at side tables that actually require waitress service. They don't serve food here so I don't get the point of all of that other than making more money off of your already over-priced beverages. There's free popcorn but I couldn't find it because there were too many people here. I don't get the appeal. Unless you work across the street and your boss is paying for all of your disgusting Sutter Homes and Buds and you love the sensation of feeling claustrophobic. Is anything in Midtown good anymore? Pass, do not collect $200 just keep going. read more

This is a place you drink beer or whiskey straight after work, not if you're looking for craft cocktails. When my friends and I first entered this bar, we were impressed by how unexpectedly big it was inside. There are lot of different seating arrangements, and a spacious area with couches at the back. Glasses from previous customers hadn't been taken off some of the tables yet, but I gave this place a pass because there was only guy working at the bar and he was busy the entire time! There was no one in the couch area, so we decided to sit there. Unfortunately, this is where things went downhill. I saw part of a pizza box moving under the couch along the wall, and then I realized it was a RAT! My friends and I quickly moved to another table to finish our drinks. I let the bartender know, and I felt bad for him - he said he would inform the manager, but I understood that this was only one of a multitude of things he had to handle on a busy Sat afternoon. I will say, a part of me wishes that we could have been offered our drinks on the house or something because yo, seeing a live rat in action is pretty nasty, but I'm also OK with not drinking here ever again. As we left, a fellow patron (? unclear) used a broomstick to pull the rat we saw...it had gotten stuck to a trap and was trying to escape. Then he put it in the trash can. I'm assuming they took the trash out, but who knows? I know that just about every establishment in NYC has to deal with rats, but damn...none of how that was handled sat well with me, so I feel compelled to write this review. read more

I have been coming here for drinks ever since I started my new job down the block. I can say for a little dive bar, it sure gets the job done. They always got some drink specials and its always a good time here. I would say this is the perfect spot for a team happy hour if you work in the area. I love the waiters/waitresses here. They are all super friendly and attentive. They make sure every customer is taken care of on time no matter how busy the bar may be. I have always enjoyed this aspect of the bar hence its high rating. I always get a pickle-back shot and some beer here. The pickle-backs are cheap and the beer here doesn't taste like it is watered down. If you order other drinks they pour a decent amount of alcohol as well. I would say if you're around Midtown West this is your place to go. Can't ever go wrong here. read more

There were no game areas, just a sad-looking beer pong table near the restrooms. We were going on a $300+ tab in their lounge area but they couldn't dim the lights over there for us, which was weird.

I was visiting with two people who were on their way and would be arriving in about 10-15 minutes and the people at the front told me I couldn't be seated until they arrived. I understand that this is normal protocol, but I pointed out my neck brace and asked if an exception could be made because it's significantly more comfortable for me to sit down (and there was no room at the bar). They said that their manager wouldn't let them do that, and that they couldn't seat me until the rest of my party was there. There were tons of table tables available the entire time and when my friend arrived about 12 minutes later, they seated us, I totally could've sat the whole time and it wouldn't have been a problem. Not the end of the world and I probably could've pushed it harder, but it definitely was a little awkward!

The burger was juicy and filling, the wings were flavorful, and the fries were hot and crispy. The drinks were solid, refreshing, and exactly what you want at a spot like this. Location-wise, it's perfect. The Grizzly Pear is close to so many things, making it a great stop before or after exploring the neighborhood, catching up with friends, or heading to another spot nearby. The service really stood out too. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and welcoming without being overbearing, which added to the relaxed vibe of the place. Overall, The Grizzly Pear is a great go-to if you want good food, decent drinks, a cool atmosphere, and fair prices all in one spot. Definitely a place I'd come back to again.

This was not a credit card fee (that I can understand). It is a "transaction fee" that is applied to all invoices. Are you kidding me! I have no trouble paying a an extra dollar for a burger. But if you try to rip me off by sneaking in extra charges, I will never come back. You just lost a regular customer over a $2 charge.

They had outdoor seating along 9th ave and 51st street. We sat inside at a hightop , along their big open windows of 9th; great in between of inside and outside. Plenty of options for a big or small group, or solo! Our server was McKenna, who was incredibly attentive, we never felt like we were waiting or had to wave anyone down. The food came quickly, and was great. Nothing that changed our lives, but hot, quick, and delicious. I can see this becoming a regular spot for when we can't decide on where to go and just want somewhere dependable and consistent. Inside is like a typical Irish pub: long bar, wood everywhere, comfy high tops and booth seating along the wall. Keep in mind that it is a sports bar with TVs everywhere, so they will be playing the major sport of the season. The volume isn't too loud though, enough to hear, but don't need to cover your ears. The bottomless option on the weekend is great, 2-3 drinks and you get your money's worth. The bloody's are good quality, with a good bite of Tabasco and horseradish (I prefer that!) and the mimosas are bubbly forward (they're not skimping you with mostly OJ). The food prices for brunch aren't crazy either. Selection is a bit limited, but seeing as this is a pub/tavern, I think they have a pretty good mix. Overall, would absolutely recommend. If you have a big group, have some common sense and book a reservation, but likely able to do walk-ins for small groups, couples, or singles easily. This is a great option for laid back vibes in HK.

We are so thrilled that we ended up here. It was the perfect way to end our day. Cozy yet elevated pub atmosphere. Relaxing yet also fun. Great ambiance and good energy amongst staff and customers. There was a wonderful bartender and waiter (both from Ireland) working the night that we went. They were both delightfully witty. Playful banter with one another and with the customers which made our experience quite entertaining. Burgers and fries were DELICIOUS. Both cocktails I ordered were lovely and well made. 10/10 experience. I have already recommended it to friends who are planning a trip to NYC.

Of course, if you're a dog lover you'll enjoy the related decor, coffee cups, and the place itself is dog friendly. Not too long ago I met up with a friend here for a quick meal after some morning run training. Happy to see they offer the Barking Dog Breakfast Special at this location - 3 eggs, home fries, biscuits, fruit, with ham, bacon, or sausage. Good deal to fill up along with some hot coffee. This location is in a spot close to where I used to work near Hells Kitchen, and offers nice outside seating on the patio area around it. Friendly service and a decent spot for brunch, lunch, a burger, or salad.
