This is a great spot to have a bite to eat and have a couple of brewskies before the game. The bartender is awesome and is a huge Yanks fan (obviously). We were here during 4th of July weekend and they had a 4th of July frozen cocktail. Awesome service! read more

Great place to eat before a ballgame! Pizza did not disappoint. Waitress was very polite and stayed on top of refilling our glasses. It was busy in there but she managed to handle it with professionalism. read more

Yankee Tavern - Mozzarella with Fresh plum Tomato Sauce - Sports Bars Near Me - Bronx, New York

Hey there Phil (the bartender last Saturday) thank you for your great service and conversation...The Yankee Bar is the best bar, in my opinion, around Yankee stadium...the place had a great vibe, not crazy crowded like the other bars under the "L".... wings were very good and the Labatt's beer was ice cold....the crowd was friendly and this tavern is a very welcoming local joint...will be back soon...... read more

Great place to visit when the Yankees are playing. It's your typical bar nothing fancy. Spacious in the back. There's a bunch of TVs throughout the space to watch the game. Decent prices. read more

Yankee Tavern - Quesadilla, 2 Sliders w/Fries, Chicken Fingers and Heineken - Sports Bars Near Me - Bronx, New York

Great atmosphere if you're a Yankees fan. Lots of Yankee memorabilia and fans to enjoy the game or even before the game. We were here Tuesday night prior to the World Series game 4. It was pretty crowded. Service was incredibly slow not that we were in a rush. Our server was working very hard but I think it was just him in our back section. Prices are very good and fair. My pizza was very undercooked with a lot of melted cheese. Wings and burger were fine with no complaints! read more

Great place for a pre game or post game drink or meal. Very close to the Stadium. Great nostalgic feel, lots of old photos and memorabilia.

Amazing food and service. Plenty of TV monitors to watch sports. The ambiance is great especially during Yankee games. read more

Great vibe , this is a really chill place, do come and drink beer and apps , highly recommended

Perfect place to watch the Yankees game if you are not at Yankee stadium. The Ambience is Yankee team friendly, I almost thought I was in the stadium. Great food and amazing environment and extraordinary service...Definitely looking forward to coming back here read more

Have had some good times here before. It was always a favorite on game day. Yankee Tavern of course is fun when there's a game. Even if there's not it's still not bad. There's beer and plenty of TVs. Beer is always good. I like getting the Yankee Pilsner. This is the house beer and always a good choice while watching games on TV. It's about $7 a cup. Yes it's overpriced. As expected. This is taking advantage of the area of course so it's something you have to accept if you come here. It had a good atmosphere. It's best when there's a game. This is the only way to see them play, watching them on TV. read more

My girlfriend and I came here after a recent Yankee game. It was amazing. I had heard about this place, but never been. It's within walking distance, if you want to go. Highly recommended. The service is wonderful. Very friendly. They let you sit wherever you want. The food was good. We got a couple burgers (one beef, one turkey), with a side of fries. Classic, but good. I feel like turkey burgers can be either hit or miss, but this one hit it out of the ballpark (pun intended). And the vibe was awesome! They have Yankeecana from all different eras. It was incredible!! read more

Good spot ! Works with you and not against you everywhere is a good ambiance, no one bothers you.

This is my spot ( only on certain days ) I love the food and atmosphere here around 7pm. If you're a POC, come in the evening so you can use the jukebox at your leisure without them turning down your songs. The older bartender doesn't like when you play urban music Besides that, the food is phenomenal! The drinks are strong and delicious! The other bartenders like the young man with the black hair is soooo nice. They keep me coming and the food. Stop being biased toward paying customers music. It is wrong and not right. read more

I know it's the playoffs, but come on. $9.00 for a 12 ounce can of Stella? It's $16.32 for a 25 ounce can of Stella inside the stadium. Do the math. When it's cheaper to drink inside the ballpark than at a bar, the bar has a problem....... read more

This place is ok. My friend and I were tired of paying Stadium prices for food. Good drink selection. Location is good. The cheesesteak was mediocre. Meat was dry and I would prefer cheese sauce instead of a slice of melted cheese. Fries were solid. Would probably be back but get something else. read more

Definitely the spot to go have a bite or drink before the game. We were in town to see a Saturday night game and most places near the stadium were packed. We were greeted and seated promptly by our waitress. They offer an extensive menu from wraps to burgers to wings. We order shareable items as neither of couldn't decide what we wanted. We went for the pizza, wings and we asked for half garlic parmesan and the other Hot. And finally an order of onion rings. I found their prices to be super reasonable. They seemed to be handling big parties as quick and promptly as a party of two. Definitely an option when I return for another game. read more

I will never go back here. We (2 women) were looking for a bar to go to after the Yankees game to watch the end of the USA-NED World Cup match, and decided to go here since it wasn't overly packed. We got to the bar pretty quickly and ordered (a beer and vodka soda). They were out of the beer I ordered so the bartender gave me a taste of a different one to try. Never made my friends drink, never back came to us. At this point we're now sitting at the bar, no drinks, my money is out, watching him go down the line of people taking orders. After a good 20 minutes when he was coming back down the line towards us, looked our way, pointed to the guys behind us, flat out ignoring us we got up and left. I've never waited so long at a bar to not receive a drink and to be flat out ignored. We walked across the street to Bronx Ale House and had a drink within 60 seconds. read more

Great slider(always got good char) and fries. It's one of the best in the area. The guys & ladies work there are really nice,too.

Not that my Caesar Salad was great but it is such a fun place to go before (and probably after) a Yankee game. The dining room is beautifully decorated in "Yankee Décor". My server, Amanda, was great. Although I wasn't at the bar, everyone there seemed to be having a great time. Also very important, the bathrooms are clean there. Much cleaner than some of the other places around the stadium. read more

A good place to kill time before a game. The service is attentive. The food is good. The beer is cold. Been around since 1927 and bathrooms probably haven't been cleaned in nearly as long. Don't let that stop you though. read more

Yankee Tavern - kings of NY - Sports Bars Near Me - Bronx, New York

Old school pub. Went here with a few others before (of course) a Yankee game. For some reason they didn't have tap water but they gave us mini cold bottle instead. The water was free but uhh that's a bit odd. Even the usually pretty cheap beers here are really pricey. Someone ordered a Negra Modelo and ended up with the Model Especial instead. I got a Keegan's milk stout which was fine. I think the beers alone were 7/8 bucks which is somewhat fine for Keegan's but for the Modelo you can usually find 2/3 for that price. It's not that fancy of a neighborhood so I found the price gouging to be super high. The menu is primarily Italian so most people stuck with Italian food. We got some grilled veggies for the table which were cooked and served well apart from the somewhat watery balsamic. My main, the roast beef sandwich with brown sauce and cheese was fine though some pieces were rubbery. The sauce was fine. Otherwise people had the chicken cacciatore which they said that it was OK outside of one piece which was a bit rubbery, the fried lasagna, and an eggplant parmigana sandwich which looked fine. In other words, the food is OK but somewhat inconstant. If this was in any neighborhood, I'd give it a 2 but this area has almost nothing and this bar has a lot of history. 2.8 read more

I have dutifully remained at bay during COVID19 -- HOWEVER, THIS Bronx Yankee Tavern (coming from a RSx fan - and welcomed!!) HAD to step outside the grid!! Best STEAKS - BEST Steak ever other than Damon's in Glendale. They welcome Boston & Dallas Fans!! BEST food ever!!! read more

Yankee Tavern is typically a cool spot to hit up before the game. It's even fun in off-season when the locals take over. But, tonight there was nothing cool about Yankee Tavern that refused to turn on their air conditioning in sweltering weather conditions. Unbearable and unacceptable. Left after ice in drink melted in 3 minutes. read more

Stopped by for bite to eat. This is my kind of place. Feels like home. Beers are cold and the food is good.

Awesome atmosphere for game day yanks vs Sox. Enjoyed a couple cold beers before the game and the Yank fans were nice to us even though we were wearing Sox gear. read more

Yankee Tavern is not the worst place to grab a beer before the game, given the mediocre options in the vicinity. The best things about it are the memorabilia and the laissez faire atmosphere. You can definitely get sloshed here in a short period of time while bs-ing with your buddies. On the flip side, there's really nothing that would make me choose this place if a better bar opened across the street. The beer selection is extensive, but offering 20 taps of uninspired lagers is not really better than offering a half dozen. The best beer snobs can do is a Brooklyn Summer or something of that ilk. And then you're paying $7 or $8 for these suds, which is serious gouging the way I see it. I've no idea where the cheap drinks I see mentioned in other reviews were being served, but it's not here. Anyways, I gripe, but the bar is fine. Still, now that NYCFC is here, I would like to see a more soccer-friendly, beer-savvy spirit emerge at YT and the surrounding taverns. read more

Solid little spot to grab a few beers before the game. It's almost like a dive bar dedicated to everything NY Yankees. Just for that alone makes it worth downing a beer here. Walking in you see all types of pictures and memorabilia on the walls. Pictures of the stadium, photos of former players, jersey's, ticket stubs, Yankee history, etc. The food here is basically mediocre pub grub. You go here for some booze really, but skip the food. Decent selection of beer on tap and prices are reasonable. Fun crowd if you are a Yankee fan, but expect to get razzed if you walk in here with another team's gear on. Friendly bartenders and waitresses too. Easy to get to as it's close to the subway and pretty much across the stadium. Can get crowded on game days as is the norm, but not too bad overall. I still prefer the loud crowded rock and roll rowdiness of Stan's down the street. read more

It's one of the only bars I go to whenever I'm at Yankee Stadium. The beer menu is just decent enough to satisfy my snobbiness. The food is true dive bar food, but after a long, cold night at the stadium, it did the trick. It was super crowded when we arrived after the game, but there were plenty of tables in the back, so that worked out quite well for us! read more

Been going to Yankee Tavern for years!! Joe has always worked hard making sure regulars and fans have great food service and drinks. Defiantly a first stop when ever we go to the games. read more

The restaurant is separate from the skinny and long bar. Not as high energy as Stan's but still a fun place and another classic bar outside Yankee Stadium. The pastrami sandwich on rye with provolone was very good, especially with cold beer, and the cheese fries (albeit with that goopy yellow melted cheese) were delicious. That could be the drunk in me talking, but everyone was eating them, and I liked 'em, too. Another classic pit stop before or after a game at Yankee Stadium (new or old). read more

We wanted to save some money on drinks & food before the madonna concert , so we decided to come by here. glad we did , I stuck w some Stella beer , my friend had the vodka & monster drink since they had no red bull...beer was good , the drink was great nice & strong. after a few we decide to get something small to eat , fries we good so was the grilled cheese & the potatoe croquettes were pretty good as well. I think they can do w/ out the gravy but it was not bad with it. Nice service , good drinks & decent prices , I wouldnt mind stopping by again any time before a concert or game. read more

Decent food. We came on a Saturday. Food was slow to get us. But good. I had the corned beef on a bun. I had to take it off because the bun was very hard and cool. Wasn't warmed up. But overall flavor was good. We also ordered spicy fries. Which aren't actually spicy they're just regular seasoned fries. ( ours had a red hair on it) so we sent them back. Easy mistake. My sister had a chicken quesadilla that she ate so fast there's only half in the picture. So I'm assuming it was good lol. read more
