We went twice for late night drinks during our trip this week. Walter the doorman was the best!!! So friendly during our first time, he told us to come back and try the food and upstairs bar. Great guy and perfect late night spot!

Enjoyed the passionfruit mint mojito and bruschetta and pizza and bread basket. Great service, plenty of seating on multi floors, great menu. Great location within a block of port authority.

The waitresses are generally cool, especially downstairs. But upstairs, the waitress who served me (I think she was the manager) took advantage of the fact that I was drunk and looked like a tourist to charge me $30 for two beers. Otherwise, it's probably the coolest and most private restroom I've seen in a bar.

Service was not good. I had to get up three separate times to ask for salt/pepper, water refills, and the check. Also the music is SO LOUD you have to yell to talk. The food was good however. I had the vegetarian sliders and the hummus plate.

Worst service ever!! The waiters took forever to come and then said we were taking too long to leave after we were waiting 20 min to get the check. I never even received my drink order.

Staying at the AC Times Square and found this gem. Cute place with INCREDIBLE service. Georgina was amazing. Hoping to go back before we leave in no small part because of her!

I have been to this place more than 5 times and I used to like it. But the last 2 times I noticed that they change the waiters a lot. Now it seems the place is only for tourists and people who don’t check the bill.
They tried to cheat us for $30
they just put a higher price on the bill. This is unacceptable! I will never go there again.

And by the way, it was the same waiter both times. I don’t remember his name, but he looked Latin. I think they all agreed to do this kind of cheating. Now I will never go back. It left a very bad feeling.

Safe choice for a sports bar in NYC midtown. Food surprisingly good for a bar. Ask for a corner table upstairs of you hope to have a conversation after 5pm. I can recommend the cheddar burger.
