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

Even when the Yanks are away this is a great place to watch the game. Decent bar food and a fair selection of beers. In fact, the best time to go is when the Yankees are away-- It's so much fun to watch the game with a bunch of other fans. Come early and get a seat at the bar where you can watch the game on their nice flat screen TVs. Did you know that Yankee Tavern has it's own staff baseball team? I saw them playing once at the public park not long ago. So, not only are they a fun sports bar but they know the Bronx. They are open all year, and yes you can watch a Mets game here too... or the super bowl. I'd give them five stars, but their food is just regular bar stuff, if they ever fix that I'd be in heaven, read more

When going to a baseball game when out of town, you have to go to a local [insert local sports team] bar when you go to the game. Our last trip allowed us the opportunity to stop by the Yankee Tavern. There's everything you would expect on the walls: old pictures of the stadium, former players' signed jersey's, ticket stubs and other memorabilia; all Yankee-related. The booze was affordable, they had a good selection of local beer on tap and the service was good. Apparently they had a kitchen in back, but we had just stuffed ourselves in the ballpark. I want to say more about this place, but that's pretty much it. A solid, local Yankee bar right down the way from the ballpark. I'd give it 3.5 stars, but sadly I cannot. Good times. 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

Sept 25th, In town from Los Angeles to witness The Captain win his final game at Yankee Stadium! Stayed inside Yankee Stadium (200ft from the Tavern) for about an hour after the game. Yankee Tavern was still packed with happy Yankees sharing drinks! Bartender was quick and friendly even though we were all packed in to the bar without an inch to spare! Good prices & Good beer selection! Right off the Subway! read more

Solid spot before a game. Very close proximity to the stadium and the staff was very friendly. Cheaper than drinking inside the stadium. I didn't care for the food though. read more

From California been to the Yankee tavern twice. Once I'm 2010 and 2021. Great service everytime. Friendly staff and John is an awesome bartender. Definitely will go back next year! read more

My spot anytime I'm in the mood for unwinding with friends & acquaintances. Good drinks, good food & good people. The crowd is very lively when there's a game in town. read more

Great yankee pre game bar. Seating is limited for a family. Wonderful history though.

I'm giving this 5 stars because. 1 Bonus star for free wireless. (Like my goofy but loveable brother in law says....Dems da rules) Ok. with that said. Yankee tavern is only a shadow of what it use to be in the mid 90's, but you know what? The prices are so good, and the menu so diverse, that it's always a great deal. (stick with sandwiches, soups, wings and wraps, or platers like roast beef). Stay away from seafood. Drinks are good. Bartenders are regular, and recognizable if you come here often enough. Don't come on Red Sox days, or any other World series type game. Come early, and come with a couple of people and worm your way to the bar. They'll actually notice you, and take care of you. They have a big back room that can acomodate family's or small groups of 4 to 6. The food comes out quick back there too, but if you can, opt for the bar, and get out of dodge before the national anthem. This place gets crowded, so be ready to deal with it, if you get there late. read more

If I ever get to meet Yogi, I'd like to buy him a drink here. If/when I go to a Yankees game, I much rather drink here than pay the exorbitant beer prices at the stadium. I've even been known to go here with friends during the off season. Also, the nicest bartenders ever. (I know people say that a lot, but here, in this instance, I truly mean it.). read more

The Yankee Tavern is my favorite place to go before a Yankees Game...and occasionally after the game. My friends and I meet up here before the game and get a solid buzz on before heading into the stadium. Drinks are super cheap and they have a good beer selection, unlike other bars in the area. Ive never had the food, but it always looks good. The staff is friendly, and promo shot girls occasionally come in and give you free shots. The interior is full of Yankees memorabilia. It doesn't try to be swanky, it sticks to sports and being a bar. This bar is where the hardcore Yankees fans hang out. I would not suggest entering if you have on another teams apparel... if the bouncer even lets you in. If you come here to watch a game on tv, it turns into sort of a Yankees Club house. I love it! read more

Really chill Bar. Close to Yankee Stadium so it gets pretty crowded on game day. On Fridays they often give out free food. I am sure that doest happen on game day. read more

THANKS YELP! My friend got last minute tickets to the Yankee game this afternoon... I work in the Bronx about 10 minutes from Yankee stadium. I knew that I would be standing around in the Bronx ticketless for about an hour, so I looked around on Yelp to see what there is to do in the ever so charming area surrounding the stadium. Thank GOD for Yankee Tavern. It was crowded inside with fans, but not crowded enough that I couldn't get a seat at the bar. The bartender was soo nice and so attentive. I got two beers and chicken ceaser wrap for 18 bucks, and got to watch the first inning of the game in a great atmosphere with fun people. I'm not one to ever go to crowded bars by myself, so I was a little nervous. But it was totally fine and a great place to wait if meeting someone. Too bad the yanks lost today :( read more

Great bar for after game drinks. Joined some friends at a very traditional Spot. The place looks and feels classic New York! The place was interesting but the characters more so! There was a guy ragging on NE Patriots and Tom as well as anything Boston. It was literally a rant. It was funny - for a New Yorker.... Although I must say it added to the ambiance! Great place. read more

Whenever in town to check out a yankees game this is my favorite bar to hang out before the game.The fans are die hard and the beer is great .Gets really crowded best to get there couple hours before the game. read more

Tony is the best bartender. He is knowledgeable about all the local attractions and how to poor a stiff drink. Joe at the door is very attentive at our needs and also JC the bartender with his witty humor and flawless service. read more

My go to place before a game. The prices for drinks are more than other places around but they have a good atmosphere and the food is very good here. The staff and owner are super friendly. read more

Amazing food amazing drinks !! just overall service is !! You will not regret a thing

Prices are good! Great little spot for pre game drinks. The door man was awesome!! He got a kick out of the fact that we were here from Texas (cause the Yankees play stupid Houston!). It's nice to be in a little local place. The guys here seem to be loyal to the bar and the bartenders which is always a good sign. We didn't have time to eat but our neighbor's food looked good. read more

Pretty standard pub with neighborhood charm. The food is really good. My dad, who is very critical when it comes to his food, took me here post Yankee game and ordered us corned beef sandwiches. It was one of the best corned beef sandwiches I've ever had. read more

Great place to watch a game in the afternoon. That's how a sports a should be . Fast paced service and no extra chitchat ... enjoy your game .... go Barca go read more

This place is all Yankees, all the time, and for that, I love it. It is a great place to pregame before heading to the Stadium. Beer prices are pretty standard and they have a moderately priced food menu, although I can't comment on that because I have never eaten there. Beer selection is pretty standard as well but they have something for everyone. I also like it because despite being busy before and after games, it's never really turned into a total cramped shitshow like Stan's. Also, you can have a conversation with your friend without having to yell over the music. read more

This place seems to be a fan favorite, the kind of place that a granddad would take his grandson (both Yankee fans, mind you) before heading to see the Bronx Bombers crush their opposing team. It's somewhat dive-y without losing the sports bar touch; you get bombarded with Yankee memorabilia as soon as the bouncer lets you through the door. There's a decent selection of beers on tap, with prices that are well below that within the stadium. That alone gives me (and should give you) good reason to swing by Yankee Tavern before the game. If you're looking for some fan-camaraderie, this is your place as everyone is decked out in Yankee gear and pumped for some baseball action. I'm not huge on baseball, so I could use a bit more energy here (or better music). But I can understand the appeal of Yankee Tavern! read more

Great spot...Good food, strong drinks and good people!! Joe the owner is awesome!!!! read more

We were in town and went to the game. Stopped in to the tavern w my family. Met Junior. Although he works at the restaurant he explained the history of the tavern. Super nice. Made us feel so welcome. My kids had a great time and the food was great. Eileen took care of our table and it was a super awesome time! read more

Didn't expect it but, Yankee Tavern was actually magnificent. The atmosphere and staff are fantastic. Every single thing was very delightful and I just cannot wait to go back already. Workers ensured everything was all right. I enjoyed every thing at Yankee Tavern. read more

We stopped in before the game Saturday for a few beers and food. Fairly typical Yankees stadium bar with big screen TVs showing the pregame show and Yankees memorabilia on the wall. One thing that I would say sets it apart from others is the large selection of beers of draught. A few that I remember were Amstel Lite, Goose Island, Hoegaarden, Guinness, and Shock Top while other bars in the area to stick to the standard, Bud, Bud Lite, and Miller Lite. As with everything in this area and at Yankees Stadium don't expect to get off cheap when it comes to price. I got the first round which was 4 beers and it came to $30. I was even a little surprised at it being that high. Surprisingly the food at Yankees Tavern was pretty good and very cheap. They have a section of the menu which is all $4.95. I got the cheese burger sliders with french fries which were very good and came out quickly. Bartenders were pretty cool and handled the crowd well. Waited maybe a minute tops for a beer. If your looking for a place to stop in for a beer before the game Yankees Tavern is worth your time. read more

Definitely a vibe here food is good drink are affordable and the staff becomes family u go long enough! Best bar by yankee stadium the other ones over charge because of the area n don't even have a good vibe. So definitely go here! read more

I came here before a Yankees game last season.... SHOCKER!!!! It was the best environment EVER! If you are scared of crowds and are coming here during the baseball season, you may wanna rethink your choice. The beers and drinks are as overflowing as the clientele walking in the door, and there is a bottomless sea of blue and white. This place is my MECCA for any future games I attend!!! I guess every bar around there is crowded during game time though.. right? Well, this one is definitely a fun one :) read more

Great cheep food. Large quantities. Check out their $5 specials! read more

Comedy of Errors? No.More like comedy of failures. 1.Worst penne a la vodka ever,over saturated with salt. 2.The chicken parm, with the low quality tomato paste, nasty, the chicken was so deep fried and dry, it felt as if I was biting on a 20 grit piece of sandpaper, nastea. 3.The beer, water down.Stella tasted like the Bronx River, murky nasty. But they do have super friendly waitresses, so that's a pro. The next time am desperately looking for a place to eat and drink near Yankee Stadium, amma stick to the local bodegas/latin restaurants and eat food worth eating. This place probably makes a banging chicken wing, everything else is a do or die if you ask me. This is nothing but a Yankee fan trap! read more

Never thought they had good food, actually great food!!!! The pastrami was so delicious and tender and melted in my mouth!!! Calamari was delicious and tender! I will definitely come back read more

Continuing the Opening Day celebration. We stopped in for a quick one before leaving for home. We almost got to witness a barroom brawl, but not between drunk patrons, between 2 bartenders. One was carrying a garbage can on his shoulder and hit another one in the head. It was pretty tense for a few minutes as they yelled at each other behind the bar. Anyway, it's just another fan favorite before, during and after a Yankee game. read more

I reached out so many times to offer assistance to this landmark with no response. I guess they have so much money that they dont need any help. Good luck, I guess and see what opens in their place.... read more
