“Whether part of a group or on a solo visit, welcome is given. The staff are attentive, engaging, friendly and humorous. They truly make an effort to ensure that the customers return. The kitchen is tiny, yet the food is tasty.Dietary restrictions: When you share your dietary restrictions with the staff, they listen and advise which dishes are suitable. It is a relief to be heard and accommodated.“
“They do not sell food, beer and wine only. They make a mean frozen sangria! I never have a problem getting a seat and the bartender remembered me! Cool spot.Wheelchair accessibility: You can get into the market, there are no stairs. It might be a little difficult to navigate once inside. The spaces between the different vendors can be narrow.“
“2024, the year someone, anyone finally got me to read fiction consistently for an extended period of time. Acknowledgements to @tenanaan for her forever reaching third eye into the souls of readers. She and the staff at @thelitbar always push the envelope to find word seekers' arrangements of pages that defy their norms and push their brains into a separate reality. This morning I completed this work by the great #VictorLavalle . I somewhat read this book out of order after having read #LoneWoman January 20-January 25. I initially had not selected this work out of a group of 7 that Tenaja gave me to choose from. I thought I had already seen this on #AppleTv+. I selected Lone Woman, loved that, only to discover that, in reality, the series I thought I saw was not #The Changeling , it was M. Night Shyamalan's: Servant. The Changeling is a pounding thriller that will keep you guessing incorrectly from beginning to end. It will capture your attention with a rolling villain in all aspects of this real life/scifi/real life saga. Who is the bad guy/bad girl? Who should be arrested, hung, or given the Presidential Medal of Freedom? The question is: Who will make it? Is making it even an option? What is a win? Does "Happily ever after exist?It's worth stopping at The Lit. Bar to visit, read, drink, buy books that typical book sellers aren't selling. There is nothing in the world like being introduced to a world that has coexisted in the world you live in, without knowing it was there the whole damn time. Plan a trip to The Bronx, if you are already in the Bronx, make it your destination for new reading interest and a great reading vibe.“
“I adore this place. I have ordered the margarita pizza with broccoli for delivery many times, and it's probably the best pizza I have found in the Bronx. Wood-fired, soft yet grilled crust, fresh mozzarella, really good tomato sauce, and generous with the toppings. Dining in is also a great experience -- it's warm and homey inside, and you feel like you have left the grind of daily life and are settling in for a festive, really good meal. Doesn't feel like an Americanized Italian restaurant but rather a small pocket of Italy in the Bronx. As for the rest of the menu, top notch Caesar salad, really good banana bread pudding, scallop/lentil appetizer is good but best to share because it can be a lot of the same flavor and filling for an appetizer. Must try place in the Bronx!“
“I really didn't enjoy my time here between the bartender having an amazing hand at cocktails to them sure the food tasted fantastic! Hats to their chef. Natalia (or Natasha i apologize for forgetting) was the best. Definitely will return! Their pistachio-ricotta cake was my TOP fav!“
“Spoke to Danna and she MADE OUR NIGHT!!! I came with a friend to have a few drinks and she took time to joke around with us. She is super funny and friendly and very attentive. Please give her a comedy spotlight!!!! ? she definitely added to the friendly atmosphere.“
“when we got to the front door of this place, the bartender came out and opened the door to welcome us. We were just going to stay for one drink, but we stayed much longer. Everybody was so friendly, and the drinks are really really generous. what a great dive bar!“
“Great place great people. I attended a function for Disabled Veterans it was Great ! We had raffles,great food. And the Volunteers were the best they had speakers that spoke to us not at us. Usually people donate space for us to have things but ! You don't meet the owners not these guys they talked & had fun wit us like we were friends and notLike we were Disabled Veterans it was Great ! Not one question about why my leg had Scars on it from surgeries they didn't even see my legs and I had onShorts . WOW great people. Oh boyThey had a kid there serving by the nameOf Conner this young man handled a room wit 30 grumpy, battle tested Marines,Army artillery,and special forcesWit ease He didn't break a sweatAnd knew the menu in his head and keptThe orders straight ??♂️could be my RTOMan any day. Thanks 4 the experience“
“Was invited to a luncheon for Wounded Worriers and let me tell you these people showed us a Great ! Time. Usually we go somewhere they have a preset menu burgers,franks, fries. Not here everyone could order. Off the regular menu anything you wanted. Food was hot when served and not that aluminum pans wit precooked junk everything came fresh out from kitchen ?and no one looked at us like we were broken Vets they were proud to have us Great Place. ?“
“This place is amazing. The food and drinks are amazing. The best part about this place is the bartender/ waitress Michelle. She always gives great service no matter if she tending bar or doing her waitress Job. Last night March 1 she went above and beyond her job. She was doing double duties with a packed bar. As soon as we sat at our table she gave us our beers and menu. And despite how busy it was we got our food super fast. And our beers were never empty. I can't understate what an amazing employee she is. This is my local spot and every time we go there we never disappointed. Hell we leave the place feeling great especially after a long work week!“
“Oldest bar in the Bronx, bartender and all the regulars rule. Great drinks, borderline best value-for-the-drink on the basics in the whole friggin' city. I couldn't get ahold of anyone via phone or online to confirm they were open at 8 am like Yelp said (they were, turns out!), otherwise I would have been there earlier.“
“Legendary is an awesome spot. Came here with my gf and her friend and we love it so much that I’m leaving this review while I’m still here!Beers cold and foods hot!Frank the owner is super friendly and welcoming. First time going here and all the other people at the bar said they’ve loved this spot since it opened 13 years ago. Food came out quick and was tasty and also not expensive. Definitely coming back“
“Q44 is a very chilled spot. And affordable prices. This is a great place to just chill and laugh. They play a little bit of everything. For no one to feel left out music wise. The customer service is amazing they check up on you many times to make sure everything is good. The hookah is good depending on who makes it. But it’s a vibe. So check it out and I hope you enjoy it.“
“We arrived early for dinner. Service was quick. The food was tasty, and portions were large. I had enough for lunch the next day.Parking: We were early on a week day in February, so parking was simple. I am sure it can get difficult on weekends and during the summer.“
“I just wanna say if you don’t have SANDY as your waiter you are missing in out! Her energy is so good she is so nice she is one of the best waiters I have ever had all the food was delicious Sandy I wish you the best your amazing love to eat here burgers and onion rings are “
“This gem of a restaurant has earned its place as my all-time favorite Mexican spot in NYC. Not only does it serve up some of the most delicious and authentic Mexican cuisine I've had the pleasure of tasting, but it also pairs this culinary excellence with truly outstanding service. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between welcoming familiarity and a lively, fun atmosphere that's hard to find elsewhere. Whether you're here for the exceptional food, the top-notch service, or to indulge in what might just be the perfect Margarita, its location near Van Cortlandt Park adds an extra layer of appeal. This is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the best of Mexican dining in the city.“
“Made a reservation, and first impressions were good. the first seating they placed us had a broken table so they moved us which was nice they let us pick any spot. the place had Good ambiance with good music that set a good vibe and plenty of tvs to watch sports game. The service was good too our waiter always stopped by to check on us if we need anything. they also gave good recommendations on the menu. the beverages like the mule were good and the food was okay, albeit a bit overpriced for the area. we got quesadillas, wings, sliders, and 2 basket of fries with plenty of drinks. they also tacked on a mandatory 20% gratuity for a party of 3. the beverages were pretty good i enjoyed it. i'll definitely come back !“
“Beautiful Irish bar in the Bx. I was there to play darts one night. I shoot in a league so we travel around. Dart board on site of course, and away from most people so you can play in peace. The drinks are reasonably priced as well and the bartenders are good too.“
“Tequila & Mezcal is a laid back and stylish lounge perfect for enjoying an impressive selection of top quality tequilas and mezcals in a vintage industrial ambiance. Located in an unconventional space within an industrial strip mall on Westchester Avenue, it comes as a pleasant surprise.The decor blends recycled materials and classic signs with comfy booths and chairs upholstered in black and cream leather for a fashionable yet tranquil vibe. String lights wrap delicately around decorative rafters that lend openness and height to the room while keeping the atmosphere intimate.Staff are exceedingly friendly and knowledgeable about the wide range of drinks on offer. The cocktail menu creatively highlights tequila and mezcal from across Mexico in tasty concoctions alongside classic margaritas and palomas. The extensive spirit selection features rare artisanal varietals to more common brands, priced reasonably for the quality level. There are also many craft beers, wines and non-alcoholic drink options to please all tastes.Food options are limited but thoughtfully prepared with high quality ingredients. Appetizers include ceviches and quesadillas as well as shared plates like short rib empanadas and spicy chicken wings.Overall, Tequila & Mezcal provides a convivial spot to unwind over exceptional tequilas and mezcals thoughtfully paired with modern Mexican cuisine in a gently industrial space that belies its unique and discoverable location. It's a welcome addition to Bronx's growing food and drink scene.“
“Food was absolutely amazing. One of the best yellow rice’s I’ve ever had. The steak was cooked perfectly. I couldn’t believe how much food was given . I wasn’t expecting such a large portion but it did not disappoint. I love the fact they had a live DJ during the week and they played a nice variety of music. Excited to come back on a Sunday and try their brunch! The host/server was a younger Hispanic male, super nice and attentive. (Sorry I didn’t get his name) bar staff was friendly greeted us and said thank you as we left. Bathrooms were clean as well“
“Best enchiladas de mole I’ve had and I have been to a lot of places just to try their mole. From the moment we walked in the lady that took our order was very sweet and she made sure that we were taken care of. You can see that it was made with love, from the first bite this felt like a homemade meal. I will definitely be coming back!“
“Great local bar with great food and drinks! Spicy Margaritas are phenomenal we go every week to see the amazing manager natasha and have a few of her famous Margaritas. Can say nothing bad about fella's always have a great time and get great service!“
“This is review of their chicken wings only. I've never had anything else on the menu nor have I ever drank here so I can't rate their drinks. These are the best garlic parmesan wings I've ever had. Their black ice (I think it's a mixture of garlic parmesan and Thai chili sauce) wings are also delicious. I always order for pickup and the the staff seems friendly enough during our brief interaction.“
“Great prices on drinks you won't find anywhere else - although they do not serve food, won't mind you bringing outside food and eating there - friendly staff and very attentive to the crowd - awesome music and ambiance - although far from where I live will be making another appearance soon!“
“Celebrated my 32nd birthday with my home girls and the wait is insane if you're not there all together to be seated so make sure your RSVPs are there when you arrive and you have to arrive on time cause waiting for a table is crazy ...the food was bomb like wow the music and the atmosphere was really good the service was a bit off we would ask for something and get it 20 to 30 min laterParking: If you don't get there 2hrs before your event parking is impossible.Kid-friendliness: Kids were in here to my surprise but only for the birthday brunches and dinners after that they were gone because of the adult night hours“
“I had a great experience at this restaurant. my husband and I went there for our anniversary and had cubano sandwiches and raw clams for a meal. The food was delicious but a bit pricey and this is definitely a place I would recommend for a family dinner or casual date.“
“I came to visit the club scene with a few lady friends.. the atmosphere was giving ole skool grown..after a while of course the vibes picked up..the only negative was the mixologist didn't know what a Blue motorcycle was which is a no no when it's the easiest and common drink to make. I can definitely offer my services if y'all are hiring ? other than that.. I wanna check out the dining side of this establishment if it's available“
“I have to say the food at Last Call is amazing! Today I had a very tender Philly sandwich but their fried chicken sandwich is also stellar. Normally when you have bar food it’s so suspect. This place you’ll get a great buzz and really great food. Also, the server Jennifer has a very positive and personable personality! Definitely worth coming back!“
“This bar is like no other. The staff are amazing and truly caring for everyone. This place feels like home when you step in and everyone becomes family. The neighborhood is very close and familiar with each other so Fenwicks is where everyone goes to hang out. If you are looking to have a good time and have some good quality drinks, Fenwicks is the right place to go. By the way, you need to try Fenwicks’ wings, they are AMAZING! Plus they are air fried for the healthy peeps. I definitely recommend Fenwicks as the best bar in the Bronx!!“
“It's October and you know what that means..... OKTOBERFEST!!This German girl loves her German food and takes full advantage this time of year! I saw an ad in the Bronx Times for P.J Bradys with a special Oktoberfest menu that had me salivating and I had to go!This place is a neighborhood restaurant and bar established in 1998 and is a local favorite. Their windows are all painted for fall with a colorful autumn theme and you hear the laughter and singing from the street! The atmosphere was very cool with a fun group at the bar singing all my favorite songs from Mama Mia and the 70's-80's. Our server Katherine was great and took very good care of us from beginning to end with accommodating special requests and suggestions. I like my Oktoberfest beer this time of year and they had a great one by Shipyard called Pumpkin head, they kindly rimmed a glass with honey and cinnamon and I was happy. We started out ordering their popular chicken wings with Blue cheese and ranch dip which were very good! My Oktoberfest special of Jager schnitzel came with red cabbage and Spätzle but I traded the Spätzle for the potato pancakes with apple sauce which was no problem. It also came with a home style chicken and veggie soup that was like moms with tons of chunks of chicken and savory soup. My german cuisine was a huge platter of food that was excellent! It brought me back to my childhood! We also ordered a roast beef with cheese on a roll which was so good with just right crispy French fries! I was going to order their pumpkin cheesecake but they were out due to its popularity, so I will have to go back again! Stop in this month to enjoy a full Oktoberfest menu including pot roast, Hungarian beef goulash, Wienerschnitzel, Jager schnitzel, bratwurst and more! Special shout out to my friend who works there too, Katie Angel!“
“Good little tavern. Food was perfectly fine - good burger. Prices were as you would expect for a non-fancy bar in a non-fancy borough.Staff was friendly and chatty. The only thing that didn't go smoothly was that they take cards but only cash tips, and I had very little cash on me so I under-tipped. I wish they had told me when I ordered.Good place.“
“(Translated by Google) Mayas pizza ???? an incredible place to eat and for delivery, a very quiet and very clean place, I highly recommend it for those of us who are lovers of tranquility and good food, Mexican food, delicious fresh of the day.????????????(Original)Mayas pizza ???? un lugar increíble para comer y para delivery, un lugar muy tranquilo y muy limpio, lo recomiendo muchísimo para los que somos amantes de la tranquilidad y el buen comer, comida Mexicana, fresca del día riquísima.????????????“
“Friendly and accommodating. 2 TVs and they're happy to put on whatever game or race you want to watch. Impressive beer selection.They're rennovating the kitchen. so there's currently no food. Bottles and cans only for now, probably related to the kitchen, but said they'd have taps running again soon.“
“After work everybody seems to gravitate to Shea's for its friendly inviting atmosphere. Nothing like a nice cold beer or a refreshing cocktail served by a friendly smiling bartender. The internet jukebox or the pool table will give you something to take your mind off of work and help you to relax. If that is not what you are looking for, there is always the deck outside in the back of the bar to enjoy nature and some good conversation.“
“I stumbled upon this place randomly walking one day on a Monday. Met this beautiful young lady that was working her name was Kristy but her usual shift is Saturdays after 6PM. This was probably the best bar experience I have gotten since she is so attending & always smiling and makes you feel super welcome. She plays the best music and her beers are extra cold I will definitely be coming just for Kristy!!!“
“The best West Indian food in the Bronx in my opinion.Everything is cooked and seasoned well, can order anything off the menu and it will taste good.It is reasonably priced, customer service is great, there is a reason it has been a neighborhood staple for so long.“
“Fabulous! You could spend so much money in here and never feel unhappy about it. Totally vegan it's actually quite large with lots of places to sit and just plants everywhere. if I had more money, I would buy myself every single plant and item they have here. lovely food, lovely staff, highly recommend! please support your neighborhood, vegan place.“
