50 Best Bars near Mount Vernon

“Amazing restaurant and bar! I was here on a Friday night celebrating a relatives birthday. The dj was on point, the bartender was nice and overall the staff was good. The food and rum punch was amazing and on point! I felt like I was back home in Jamaica eating the fish - full of flavor. I’ll definitely be back in the future.“

“Here's the review Spencer wrote for you: My family and I just visited to celebrate my grandsons birthday- we like to get a bunch of plates and share family style and this menu was perfect for that. You have to get mezze and extra bread (must try the kubane). We also ended up getting three orders of the shishbarak for the six of us, it is way too good! I got the salmon for my entree which was cooked to perfection and beautifully seasoned. Spencer our server recommended the silan and the cheesecake for dessert so we shared those and boy were they something special- I can’t pick a favorite! He brought us a candle and we got some great pictures. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.“

“Iconic and inspired Upper West Side Eatery/Music avenue. I love the live music there, they have it 6 nights a week! Really good food & cocktails as well! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“My husband and I are checking off the top 10 East Harlem eateries. The Earls beer and cheese is ranked #5. Their drink and food met lol our high expectations. We had blackberry hard cider and BBQ brisket taco
The Back to Back - fried chicken breast in buffalo sauce with French fries. The services were very outstanding and food were delicious. The place were filled with professionals and rather quite. The back room was very cool👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“I tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt. The food is awful. Mozzarella sticks were frozen, Cajun fries, a handful of paprika drowned over the top Today beer that's normally $6 was $8 plus a $4 tip, tax and looking for another tip. Bill should have been $20 it's $30. Live with your wn failure. Don't put it on the customers. Pretty bartenders won't cover incompetence.“

“Very nice service and selection. I am here 1nce a week or every other week. The Bartender is great and attentive without being overly so. Cheers!!“

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

“did the work, bought the shirt! awesome space!!“

“The Hamilton is a cozy, warm, bar with an excellent selection of whiskeys. The bartenders are very knowledgeable and will help you find the perfect cocktail for your tastes. Joe, one of the bartenders, also host a a rotating exhibition of different artists about once a month. You can get a perfect Manhattan and a piece of artwork for your livingroom. 😊“

“Come for the trivia stay because it's a really awesome place to be. E's Bar is preeeetttty awesome and quite a good size to be able to have a good time! The drinks are reasonably priced and the Tres Fish Tacos are BOMB. I appreciate the fact that they choose to be a sustainable bar with their LED lighting and purchasing of carbon offsets. It's hard for bars to reduce their environmental impact so any step matters. It always seems like everyone's having a good time here- not trashy at all, just a good neighborhood bar. And they have theme nights too which is fun.“

“I made a reservation for a post marathon group and Amity Hall Uptown hit it out of the park!

My group as a little late, and they accommodated without missing a beat, switching us to a larger table once the whole crew arrived after a delay.

Big shout out to the staff: front of house, to the wait staff to the runners/kitchen and bartenders (and the DJ, for all the marathon runner shout outs) The food was good and the dinks was cold.“

“Love this place. I am here for work and just wanted to have a chill night. It is Monday at 9:20 PM and they have live music! The ambiance is amazing, and the bartender Nathaniel makes some fantastic drinks! He checked on me multiple times to ensure I was good and liked the drink. The espresso martini is to die for! I can tell they use real espresso and not just liqueur. If I were local this would be my go-to place, but for now it is where I will be coming to when I’m in town and I’ll be sure to recommend it to my colleagues who travel up here and the ones who live in the area. Love it.“

“I had visited the Hoptimist a few times before moving back to NYC and the staff are always incredibly nice & pleasant to talk with. I brought my dog since moving and she has been welcomed with open arms (she is adjusting to NYC after living on the dog friendly west coast). Since we are in the neighborhood we will likely become frequent visitors since I like beer (and they have a great selection!) & my dog likes attention.“

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

“Loved my first experience here. Stopped in after shopping the town. Bartenders Tommy and Anthony were working and made incredible drinks. They were both very inviting and make you feel at home. I will be back to enjoy the atmosphere and great bartending skills.“

“This spot has the right elements working together seamlessly. The freshness contributes significantly to the taste. The staff's lovely demeanor complemented their attentiveness. This place maximizes limited square footage. The crowded venue still delivered a pleasant dining experience.“

“At a first glance, this place makes you feel like you should walk in and order an espresso. Super authentic Italian coffee, with a tasty and not too sweet Da Capo latte (chocolate and hints of hazelnut) I would recommend. There are also very good pastries and a cute little table setup on the street to enjoy on warmer days.“

“Emma's continues to be a local treasure! They are consistently the most accommodating restaurant with a genuinely wonderful waitstaff. I never write reviews but after last night I'd feel very remiss. I had a “girls night out” with my 4 1/2 year old granddaughter! Emma's was her personal choice. As a grandmother, nothing could have disappointed but there are very few restaurants in Westchester who take a reservation for 2 on Saturday night and shower you with so much attention. I need to call out our server, Richard D. because he personally attended to the dining comfort of a child on a busy night. Our female busser was also so sweet and friendly. Thank you, Emma's! I've been dining with you for many, many years but last night really brought your spirit into focus. Sometimes, we all need to see the world through the eyes of a child or a Golden Retriever ❤️❤️“

“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“

“This cozy restaurant has left me with the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, delicious food. It’s a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming.“

“It’s great place with very delicious pasta and artesanal pizza! 🍝🍕“

“It's Cool I liked when I went I attended to go again but I'm sick this week so maybe next week I'll be there“

“In my neighborhood The Upside Bar is full of great vibes , it’s a great place to have a beer or cocktails. The bartenders are really cool as are the regulars. It’s a cool crowd , great atmosphere and conversation. Cherokee“

“Ottime birre. Proprietario/staff molto gentili. Prezzo in linea con Manhattan. 👍“

“Highly recommended. Very good food.“

“Absolutely love this place. I always make a trip when I can for some tasty cocktails and good chill environment“

“After a long walk on the Upper West Side, I came across this spot. It was very nice, with a great selection of beers to help beat the heat. I really enjoyed it and will be coming back to get one of those big cans to go. The bartender was very knowledgeable and friendly. The arcade machine was a total plus. I love those things. And the art in the bathroom was also very interesting.“

“Stumbled upon this beer bar while on a walk. Fantastic beer bar and great new addition to the neighborhood. Natural wines on tap and cider in cans if beer isn’t your thing. They also have some snacks to munch on. Service and vibe were both great! Highly recommend.“

“Best Ethiopian cuisine I’ve had outside of Ethiopia! Service was great, atmosphere was vibrant, live music, open mic, poetry this place has it all!“

“😘👍🏼 Son deliciosas las bebidas🍹“

“great local spot love it here“

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

“I wish I could give more than 5 stars! We celebrated a graduation here and they went above and beyond. Our family and friends were thrilled and so were we. It was such a memorable day that we’ll always appreciate. They made us feel both so special and at home.

Thank you! Highly recommend — and the food is incredible“

“I absolutely love Urbano Cafe Bar!!! The aesthetics are so cute and create the perfect atmosphere. The food is amazing—especially the chicken wings, which are a must-try no matter what sauce you pick. My personal favorites are the buffalo and sweet chili. The Urbano burger and fries are freshly made and delicious, and the tacos are packed with fresh ingredients. They also offer a great happy hour with the option to get a cubetazo of 5 beers!

The music selection is on point and perfectly complements the vibe, with tunes ranging from Earth, Wind & Fire to Ashanti. It really enhances the whole experience.

But honestly, the best thing about this place is the customer service. Ricky is incredibly attentive, sweet, kind, and super talented. He made our experience so much better. I will definitely be coming back again and again for the food, drinks, and especially Ricky's exceptional service!“

“Update 07022025 approximately 230 to 430pm.
Dog friendly bar need I say more? Yes. What is so important? The fact that no one said a word when Bailey joined me on cushioned bench in the primo booth. And we both appreciated the ample window picturing Amsterdam avenue business, like tv to her, she told me.

Bartender did his job cool and proper by leaving us alone to nurse my beer and our water. We will be back.“

“Best bartenders around! food is amazing. it is a got to go place!“

“Nice bad, health is wealth, so it's pure niceness is sold here, juice, sandwich, salad.....it's all so healthy and nice. The staff is pretty wonderful also, I surely recommend stopping...you also get a taster with your juice order.“

“The beer and artisanal cocktails are amazing, along with the shrimp tacos!!! The vibe is downtown trendy and old school posh LES, but in Columbia land. 👍🏼“

“Vegan Friendly ❤️🩷 Great place.“

“I love their happy hour that starts at noon as well as their beer selection but allow me to say this about their outside seating service: it is dam near nonexistent except for a tall beautiful black woman from a few months back and a young man named Norie who served me last week. These two people were the ONLY ones that were attentive to me in all the times I sat outside to drink. I was actually surprised how much Norie checked in with me, because aside from him and the aforementioned, I was often treated as an afterthought. Very often i would even go inside to the bar myself to get my own refills!
Again, they have a fabulous happy hour and i do like the out of the way location with my bus stop across the street. The food is decent if a little overpriced for bar food but at least its not as bad as The Bronx Public. Again, if you sit outside then hopefully your assigned server is Norie!“

“You probably know this already based on how many years on the raw I reviewed this spot. Same true feeling along the way to now. .The ub we call it for short ( we so familiar) is one of my neighborhood fav spots in the area. And I have lived on 149/150 th since 1996. if you told me the cute , cool vinyl spot it is now I would not believe you but it's real.. I love coming here to hang😁...“

“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.“

“We met bartender Linda and owner Timmy and they were very friendly and accommodating to us. The bar pool table, the juke box and the spacious backyard deck made us fall in love. - Jesus Medina, certified skate instructor & Adonis Taylor (NYSS co-founders)“

“Came in with a small group on 4th of July, later at night, and the bar wasn't too busy. Music wasn't loud so we could talk easily. Bartender super nice -- I asked for water at one point, and he just drew my attention to the water cooler sitting next to the bar that I'd totally looked right past haha. And we got the hot dogs because of the late night special, and they were genuinely good. Freshly grilled. Fries were delicious too. I'd honestly come back because of the food“

“The best place in the neighborhood“
