50 Best Bars in Bronx

“It’s such a vibe here! Their happy hour is fire and super affordable. The food is good. And their beef empanadas are a 10/10. The slider and fries were a much bigger portion than I thought it would be so that’s another plus. For a Sunday, I didn’t expect a dj and great music but here they had both!“

“great place..attention to customers is second to none!“

“This is a great place for the younger and older crowd!! The food is great 👍“

“great local spot love it here“

“Overall a great place to visit on a sunny day out or with colleagues after work. She was extremely kind about it and not rude at all- even asked me for a back up drink in case they couldn't modify my first choice. My waitress modified one of the drinks I requested due to a personal allergy. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Great place to come by for some food and drinks if you are in the area.“

“I had a great time! The atmosphere is friendly and fun. The DJ was good. The drinks are strong and delicious. Lisa is awesome. I went alone and I felt safe and welcomed. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. I felt like I was hanging with family. Definitely will be back!! Thanks Gotti and Dlock!“

“Everything ..I’ve been going to the bar for 30years and they also have a great female pool team..come on down and support your local team..chicks with sticks“

“Honestly a great place, I went during the non-peak hours and it was such a calm enjoyable experience with friends.

The food was amazing. Absolutely loved every dish I ordered and the drinks were made perfectly every time. Definitely my favorite place.“

“This restaurant was amazing! The person working there was very kind and answered my questions in a way I understood. I got my latte. It was made in a quick fashion. There were nice, clean tables to sit in to enjoy my latte. I highly recommend this location“

“This place was great , we had such a good time“

“Was in the Bronx for a funeral. Looking for a comfort meal. Our Waitress Maria was amazing. Such a kind loving lady. The food was Great quality and good portions. I’m going to try to go any chance I get.“

“The Snug and City Island Diner are true local treasures. They’re owned by the same wonderful people and share a kitchen, but each has its own vibe and hours — and together they’re unbeatable.

The fully loaded chili here is hands-down the best I’ve ever had. It’s rich, hearty, perfectly seasoned, and also shows up in their nachos, which makes them next-level comfort food.

One of my favorite things? They have a secret menu (no longer advertised) with specialty grilled cheese sandwiches and specialty hot dogs — and we absolutely love it. The Tuscan Melt (no onion) is perfection, and the Reuben Dog is unforgettable. With the hot dogs you get two, and you can mix and match styles, which is such a fun and generous touch.

At The Snug, my go-to drink is a black & tan, which pairs perfectly with the cozy, neighborhood pub feel. Over at the diner, my favorite dish is the Corned Beef Hash breakfast — classic, satisfying, and done exactly right.

Beyond the food, what really sets these places apart is the people. Every server is genuinely kind, welcoming, and deeply plugged into the City Island community. You feel like a regular even on your first visit.

Great food, great people, and real local character. City Island wouldn’t be the same without them. 💙🍽️🍺“

“I absolutely love sheas on Mondays, I go just for Hurley! Been coming here for him 10 years + . This bar is nothing without Hurley. There’s nothing like the atmosphere when he’s there, it’s the best. He truly makes it better. I won’t come to sheas unless he’s there“

“If you want to watch the sports games including football. This is the place.“

“Overall good ambience great staff and great crowd.“

“Shady spot. They will add a service charge/tip without telling you. My bill was $105 and when they ran my card it was $117.50 I could tell from the phone app from my bank. My friend was visibly drunk and they were still giving him drinks and running up the tab.

Fun spot but be careful!“

“Amazing food and a warm, inviting atmosphere that feels like a little slice of Puerto Rico! The flavors are authentic, and every bite takes me right back to my island. The owners have poured so much love into the new location, beautifully painting different stories that showcase the rich history of Puerto Rico. Their dedication to creating a welcoming environment is evident in every detail. I also deeply respect how involved they are with the community—it’s inspiring to see a business so committed to making a positive impact. Highly recommend!“

“Every time we’ve ordered from here the food is fresh, delicious and you can tell how much work they put into making such quality food. Every single time we’ve ordered they have yet to disappoint. Our favorite is the Birria Torta. You can tell that a different person makes it each time but oh my god it’s amazing. And their aguas frascas are to die for. We’ve tried a different variety of foods from across the Bronx but they are 100% top tier.“

“Very nice place, our waitress was super friendly with cute Irish accent. The menu does not have many Irish items but we could find two (Shepherd's pie and Irish breakfast) that tasted very good. We were there on Sunday late afternoon and we enjoyed lovely Irish live music. Very nice experience, would definitely come back if in area!“

“20/10 I love this place! Great vibes always. We didn't eat there only because we came after eating dinner close by. Service is always top notch, music great and the friendly locals are the best. Every time I come I end up dancing the night away and making new acquaintances.“

“Mostly because I got food. Great prices, 3 beers And a quick side costs half of anywhere you'd run into in Manhattan and was not bad at all. Music doesn't drown out the sports games. Great place to go if you want to watch sports and have a couple beers without breaking the bank.“

“Bronx Public is my favorite go-to spot for burgers,wings and drinks! Randy our server was great providing amazing service for our lunch celebrating my grandfather's 84th birthday. Thank you guys for always providing the music and vibes ❤️“

“Highly recommend this book store. I tried to upload the video of the inside. The inside is nice, beautiful, with a mix of culture and Bronx flavor. It makes you feel connected which makes this a unique book shop. It’s a chilled spot where you can read and purchase books. The environment is calm. Employees are nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. It brings out the beauty of The Bronx. Rich of culture and history. This is definitely a spot to check out.“

“Great drinks, great food, music and atmosphere Our go to spot every other Thursday after work“

“As soon as you step in the restaurant you can smell the fresh rosemary bread being baked. We had the Baked Clams & Spicy Rigatoni which were excellent. Really cozy and intimate ambience. The service at Frankie's is top notch the servers here provide a great experience“

“I went there on a whim on a Tuesday and had a great time. Although it was fairly empty the bartender (EDDIE) WAS A BLAST!!! He made my visit there worth it. Not only did he make sure we were very well taken care of he let me sing lol karaoke Tuesday! The crowd that came in afterwards was fun. We all sang together, they bought me bday shots and even sang me happy bday. I love when complete strangers come together and just enjoy the night! Will definitely visit again THANKS EDDIE!!“

“Saw the bar on Showtime's Billions 3/12/2017. Had to look your place up, love the name!“

“Món ăn Nhật Bản ngon nhất tôi từng nếm thử. Tôi rất khuyến khích. Best japanese food I have ever tasted. I highly recommend.“

“I'm giving it a four star because I did have a good time last night celebrating my sister in law birthday. The Birthday packages are great. Would recommend that for sure. The Dj last night was good, made me dance all night. Surly is recommended for adults only. I was very disappointed that is CASH ONLY Place. Make sure y'all have lots of CASH with you, there is an ATM INSIDE with a $4.85-ish fee every transaction. Keep in mind that after 10pm they charge entrance, have your ID'S ready and they do body check, and leave your coat with a fee.In overall my experience was great.“

“The atmosphere is great, staff is welcoming,. the music is good and they have Karaoke!“

“Its a nice place to drink n chill with ya friends. 😀“

“Great place with good and cheap food and drink.Try Karaoke 🎤 on Friday where you can sing what you want. The DJ is good people he delayed his break so I could sing.“

“Dope venue for underground hip hop! Reminds me of the open mics from the nineties, Alcatraz, Chameleon Lounge and the Nuyorican Cafe.“

“Came here on a quiet Sunday afternoon. It wasn’t busy at all. However, the service was pretty slow. That’s the only reason I’d dock one star because the actual food was amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed the Margherita pizza and pasta, although the pasta was a tad salty.

Edit: changed my mind this place is beyond gas idc“

“All specials. Pizza delicious. Wings phenomenal. Not really one thing bad on the menu“
