50 Best Bar & Grill in New York

“We went to Benny John’s for a nightcap since it was close to our hotel and advertised all day happy hour. The happy hour drink selection is somewhat limited, but they still offer a good variety at a great price. I had the sauvignon blanc & my wife had the sangria. The sauvignon blanc was as expected & sangria was a dry sangria & not overly sweet.

I had the apple cobbler for dessert which is really the reason for my review — and it was delicious. It was served warm and paired with vanilla ice cream.

The staff was pleasant. Overall, a great spot for a casual nightcap and dessert.“

“Great location; close to Metro North. Quality Food, Service and Friendly Staff😀“

“Went for a bday brunch and it was great.
DJ was awesome and good at reading the room. The food was fantastic across the board. All dishes were so tasty. Drinks were on point especially the henny sangria. Overall I would recommend.

Only issue was parking!!!“

“We stumbled across this place yesterday, we dipped in from the cold for a break and had a pleasant surprise, the staff were so welcoming and made sure we got a seat at the bar... later realised I had read about the bar previously, the hot dogs are a lovely touch and drinks amazing prices. x“

“Had a great time, great food and good beers 🍺“

“4.0/5 for a gooood reason
This is probably one of the best burgers I have ever eaten. It is sooooo simple yet so tasty. The bun is amazing, the quality of the meat is unbeatable and the fries are out of this world…HOWEVER it is SO noisy that you cannot even hear yourself also Service is not that great, we waited a lot to be noticed. That’s the only reason I am not giving a 5 star to Lions“

“A very dive-y feel. It was very busy when we went but the bartender was able to give us his proper attention. We ordered a mule & a tequila negroni-- both of which were prepared with good amount ingredients NOT watered down. Good music - a mix of throwback 2000s with current tracks. Price was the same as every other manhattan establishment. Very comfortable.“

“Delicious reasonably priced food and excellent service!“

“I had an amazing time here with my girlfriends. Food and drinks were great.. unlimited espresso martinis for the win!! Haha!! Our waitress was really really nice and friendly; checked in on us numerous times. Restaurant was nicely decorated for Valentine's Day theme!“

“Great food, friendly staff and efficient service, highly recommended“

“Lovely friendly bar staff and a pleasant social vibe make this a great pub in the area. There’s a good range of drinks available on draught and the prices aren’t too bad. A pool table in the centre adds to the social atmosphere and both of the bathrooms were clean enough. I’ll certainly be returning when in the area.“

“Fanstatic evening had in Mustang Harry's NYC, great service, great food and great hosts. Thanks to Ian for taking time to say hello and making me feel so welcome. Highly recommended“

“outstanding restaurant and bar. Everything was on point. Service, food, drinks. Wait staff was perfect. Definitely recommended.“

“We love this place. Great if you’re craving some bar food. Everything is really delicious and they let us bring our dog which was a huge plus! Depending on when you go there may or may not be wait, it’s kind of just sit wherever you can get a seat“

“Had a terrific lunch here. Some of the best ceviche I've ever eaten. Entrees were excellent and, according to my husband (who's been to Peru), authentic to the spirit of the country. I also got the arroz chufa with steak. Yum! Ample portions and good value. First meal on this trip to NYC and it'll be hard to beat. HIGHLY recommended.“

“A marvelous local hangout for delicious classic food with unique twists. Cannot beat the aged steak, baked potato and creamed spinach, with a iceberg wedge salad and a few iced mini carafes of Martinis. And of course live jazz Fridays and Saturdays.“

“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.“

“Excellent food and service. Wednesday night trivia is awesome. Great place.“

“My friends and I ate dinner here on a trip to NYC. After struggling to find a restaurant that didn’t have a long wait time, we walked right into Bella Union and were seated immediately (this restaurant is soooo much bigger than most of the places in the city, so you have a much better chance of being served right away!)

It’s a super cute place and great atmosphere! The service was good and food was yummy!“

“Awesome atmosphere and a great draft selection! The appetizers we got were excellent as well! The staff was friendly and had great energy 🩵 would go back in a heartbeat. The only bummer was they didn’t have smaller than 2XL shirts on hand at the time of our visit…I wanted one so bad 😂 Needless to say the shirts are great too! 100/10 recommend 🍻“

“The vibe is electric. Great drinks, food & staff. Fun place to watch the game. I'll be back.“

“Good food great atmosphere“

“Wonderful dinner experience! Staff was attentive & friendly. We enjoyed oysters, burgers & mussels while watching the sunset. It doesn’t get any better!“

“As a frequent patron of The Joyce, I have hosted numerous events at this bar over the years. The staff consistently provides exceptional service, and the culinary offerings are outstanding. I have sampled a wide variety of menu items and highly recommend the steak, although many other dishes are equally impressive.“

“Great neighborhood bar. I was in town for a few days and ducked in for a quick drink. I met some awesome local folks - Ona, Jason, and Adam were so much fun! The food was good for a bar, the bourbon was reasonably priced, the service from the bartender was just right and the atmosphere was more than I was expecting - a fun, chill, no frills bar was just what I was looking for. I left feeling that I truly do have A Wonderful Life. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in NYC!“

“Good food and cocktails, friendly service, festive environment.“

“Great atmosphere, friendly staff, great food and drinks!“

“we absolutely love this place! it's like having family in the city.“

“I used to live a block and a half from Wogies in the West Village, and now—by some lucky coincidence—I live the same distance from their FiDi spot. No matter where I end up living next, I already know I’ll keep finding my way back to Wogies for a great time. The vibe is easy, the service is consistently solid, and the bartender here sets the tone in the best way.

Ask for Chris. Tell him I said 'Hi'—he’ll know what I mean.“

“Very nice,charming,and food plus service was absolutely superb!“

“Excellent food, I was a little hesitant when I realized it was empty as I walked in, but once we order the guacamole We knew we were here for a treat. We also ordered a skirt steak, medium, And it was cooked perfectly. Chart finished, juicy, Tender And steakhouse Quality. They are also friendly with your pet. And the staff is very friendly with you. Super recommended! The only recommendation is need to add sweet Fried plantain to the menu. 😉“

“Authentic neighborhood, family owned restaurant bar and restaurant, which are becoming more scarce in NYC. The best Turkish Mezze and kebabs that you will find in NYC. Bring your friends and share the food!“

“👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“I came down for the first time last month to watch the Celtic match starting at 7 am, I didn't know what to expect but the food was great, the staff were all very welcoming and friendly, and the atmosphere was great even in the early morning. I was so impressed I stayed after to watch the EPL matches they were showing even though I'm not a big EPL fan. I will definitely be coming back, and it's a must-visit for any Celtic supporter in the New York area.“
