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.“

“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! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“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.“

“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.“

“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👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼“

“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!!“

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

“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.“

“#AmazingBar #DiveBarNYC 🥰“

“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.“

“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. 😊“

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

“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.“

“Easily the most relaxed, down-to-earth, cozy bar in the city. I brought my dog here often when I lived across town -- dog and family-friendly. Beer is always high quality and the bartenders are just beyond wonderful. (Shoutout to Geoff, Hannah, Joe, and Bear!) Highly recommend going in on the first Monday of the month, where you can catch a great jazz night. I've since moved to Philly but am moving back and when I do, you'll know where I'll be on a Saturday. :)“

“Great Waterville nice vibes good food“

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

“A great place to relax with friends over coffee, brunch or drinks. The ambience is chilled and I love the huge windows looking over the street. Iced coffee really hits the spot. I had the tomato soup with grilled cheese which was perfect to warm up on a wintery day. There's a great crowd here which has a local, hip vibe. Best for small groups of two to four.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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 ❤️❤️“

“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“

“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.“

“#AmazingBar #BroadwayDive 🥰“

“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!“

“💥💥💥💥💥 Just discovered a gem! Can’t wait to return. Tucked in on Columbus Av. betw 106/107. Best Mexican food I’ve yet to find in the city. I had the fish tacos! Excellente! Also the best sangria. Our server, Carol, was wonderful. And she gave me a delicious flan desert and everyone sang happy birthday. Thank you Carol and everyone! See you soon!“

“best pints of Guinness good.people.“

“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“

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

“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’ve been to The Blvd three times now and every single time has been a great experience. The food is always delicious, the drinks are strong (they definitely don’t skimp on the liquor), and the vibes are always on point. On weekends, they have DJs and sometimes host different events, which makes it even better. It’s one of those spots you can count on for good energy, good music, and a solid meal every time. Definitely a go-to in the Bronx.

Honorable mention:
Chicken Francese, chicken parm.
Nachos
Dubai chocolate martini
RASPERRY LEMON DROP MARTINI 1000/10 😍“

“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.“

“great local spot love it here“

“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“

“All of the above, great place for sure!!“

“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!“

“Very classy place. You can get beer and liquor there and play pool and darts there and use the bathroom there.“

“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.“

“If you are visiting NYC and need a reservation for amazing cocktails and fare, please visit Enoteca Harlem. Outstanding vibe, amazing food and drinks. You won't be disappointed. ❤️

We were there last night 12/16/25 and I had literally the best gin based Martini I have ever tasted. The bartender was highly skilled, personable and engaging. The appetizers were fantastic.

We'll definitely be back!“

“😘👍🏼 Son deliciosas las bebidas🍹“

“great food! friendly staff. cool atmosphere“

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

“This bar is Epic! Lucky to have found this establishment next to our AirBnB and it did not disappoint! In town for a week from southern France, we bellied up to this bar 4 times on a week long holiday. Unbelievable selection of Scotch whiskeys and Jeff, a proper bartender (complete with authentic accent). If you love whiskey, do not miss this spot.

If we lived here, this would be our local watering hole for sure.

You’re welcome.“

“Great vibe and drinks. However, when I paid for the first round of drinks, they presented the bill in a way that covered the line for 20% gratuity that was automatically added due to the large party I had just joined. Guess that’s on me for not triple checking, but I double tipped.“

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

“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!“

“Came here on a whim during happy hour, and so glad I did. The decor in this cozy bar is amazing with couches and a fireplace in the back, giving an old Irish bar feel with a modern twist, which I loved. The bartenders were amazing, drinks were balanced and very well made and affordable at only $8 for select cocktails and even less for bar snacks.

The music gave throwback vibes which created a more intimate experience for couples who are looking to come here.

Head's up, although the food is air fried, I wouldn't have been able to tell if it wasn't told to me by the bartender, it was so good! I ordered waffle fries and the Philly egg-roll which was so delicious and crispy. Service was great and bartenders were friendly even though we came on a busy night. Great experience 10/10.“

“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.“

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