I spent a Friday evening with a friend. It’s a nice bar, with good food, welcoming staff, and quick service. I can’t say there was something special worth mentioning, but it has everything for a nice drink/bar food experience.

I came here for a speed dating event on Valentine's Day 2024, which was being held in the cellar. I was hungry. Before the event started, I inhaled a Croton Crunch spicy chicken sandwich. It was delicious and filling. My belly was happy. It cost under $30 with gratuity. Service was good and attentive, but the place was almost full so there was a lot of noise. I prefer quieter places, but for extroverts who like to yell, this place is for them.

Wow. This bar is NYC in a bottle (excuse obvious pun). Great atmosphere, quiet, understated, roomy yet clubby at the same time. Awesome location, great wines, mind blowing whiskey and Bourbon list (try the Boyntons bourbon on the rocks). I like that the music is background rather than in your face and great 80s-to-now playlist (special props for Blue Oyster Cult pirate recording). I like that the food is limited in scope, but well executed, I like the bar staff, friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, engaging (thanks Kosovar Lee for the experience). Highly recommended if you like what I’ve described.

I absolutely love this place my first time coming here my best friend Amanda, who served me is a really really great server not Only that she works really hard for what she does. I would definitely be coming back here along with my family there’s no way I will not be back here. This place is phenomenal and the drinks are perfect.

The service is super polite, they have a wide variety of drinks, including draft beer and a variety of beers.It's a typical American bar with very relevant portions and the ambient music is also great, with a lot of rock.It's worth a visit for a beer at the bar or even for dinner.

Came in after late night ice skating at Bryant Park. Absolutely enjoyed their hot apple cider and Mango Habanero cocktail! Both hit the spot after our fun activities outside in the cold.

Looks like a typical cross town bar but has a great atmosphere and exceptionally well prepared food. Not a big menu but the selections provide for a nice lunch or an excellent dinner. Somebody in the kitchen is chef trained, a surprise in what you might think is just a small bar. Huge liquor selection and knowledgeable bartender.

The food is delicious so are the drinks. The waitress was super nice to make sure the soup was vegan. We will be back for sure.

We had a nice lunch experience at Croton Tavern. We were welcome and seated at a not very crowded hours. The lunch time menu is diverse and has an interesting mix of classical and creative dishes. My wife had a grilled chicken sandwich, I chose an Asian chicken salad. Both were very well prepared and reasonably oversized. Beers choice is also generous, although I was not so impressed with the Croton lager.

Casual bar and restaurant. Felt right at home by the welcoming staff. Very tasty food, well seasoned, and friendly wait staff. Great experience!

We went in and asked for water. We stayed for 5 minutes then noticed the waiter was on his phone. When he finally came over he spilled water on me? And we wanted a little bit more water and he brought over 4 big bottles of water. Like how lazy can you be? Also if I sounded like a Karen in this review I didn’t mean to it’s just it’s horrible there.
