50 Best Gastropubs in New York

“I was so impressed by ARIARI! Every dish was full of fresh, vibrant flavors and beautifully plated. The seafood and grilled items really stood out — everything was cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. The staff were super friendly and attentive, and the vibe of the place is modern yet comfortable. Such a great spot for dinner with friends or a nice date night! 🍶🍤✨“

“Fabulous dinner we sat outside in the beautiful outdoor seating, Great service delicious food“

“great food, great staff not to be missed“

“The service was fantastic — easily the best waiter I’ve had in years! He never rushed us, even though we ordered slowly, and was incredibly kind and attentive. I wish I knew his name so I could give him proper recognition.

The ambiance and food were also excellent. I wasn’t personally a fan of the banana tiramisu, but I really appreciated the authenticity of all the dishes.“

“Great food, service and outdoor space! Highly recommend!“

“Found this spot from a book called Drink Like a Local and glad I did. Walked in about 6 and the bar area was packed on a Wednesday. Found an open spot an ordered a Toasted Ham and Cheese and a Revolver. The food was good although I would have went with stone ground mustard instead of Dijon. The drink was burbon, coffee liqueur, and vanilla which came together very nicely. Would definitely go back.“

“Great beer selection and yummy British inspired food selections. Friendly staff. Pretty venue and neat loo/bathrooms.“

“Server was great. Nice atmosphere, even if it’s a bit barnlike. Pub grub was tasty. We had planned to go somewhere else, but they were open and welcoming here. I would deduct a star for them putting alcohol in my friend’s no-alcohol drink but, in our case, luckily it wasn’t an issue.“

“This was an amazing experience! Ten Degrees Bar is one of those rare places that immediately makes you feel like you’ve stumbled onto a hidden gem. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between cozy and lively — dim lighting, great music that’s not too loud to talk over, and a crowd that feels effortlessly cool but still welcoming. Whether you’re going for after-work drinks, a date night, or just to unwind with friends, this place delivers.

The drink menu is impressive — creative cocktails alongside all the classics done right. Every drink we ordered was perfectly balanced, beautifully presented, and clearly made with care. But what really made the night stand out was the service, especially from Lucas, who was behind the bar.

Lucas was absolutely fantastic. He has that rare mix of professionalism and personality that makes you want to stay a little longer. He took the time to ask what kind of flavors we liked and then recommended a few cocktails off-menu that turned out to be spot on. He worked quickly even though the bar was packed, never losing his cool, and somehow managed to make everyone at the bar feel like they were his favorite customer. You can tell he really knows his craft — and actually enjoys it.

It’s that kind of attentive, genuine service that turns a good night into a memorable one. Thanks to Lucas and the whole Ten Degrees team, we’ll definitely be coming back.

If you’re looking for a bar with great drinks, good energy, and standout staff, Ten Degrees Bar is the spot.“

“Just ordered the Thanksgiving style lunch for our office. It was a huge hit. Thank you for everything. It was really awesome“

“Great place to spend time“

“Had a great late breakfast complete with Mimosas and Alfie’s Amber Ale- all served by our awesome bartender Niamh from Ireland!!!“

“The food was delicious , service and staff were so attentive and accommodating , conveniently located a few blocks from Time Square .It is definitely a must in your next visit to NY .“

“Rory knows how to pour a drink! Sláinte!“

“Good food and good beer! staff is very attentive and friendly!“

“Ok. It’s a good burger. But it wasn’t fantastic. The kimchi flavor could be much stronger. I think the patties could be juicer and less cooked. It almost wasn’t.. greasy? Enough?
If you want to try Nowon but don’t want to wait for a reservation, they’re on DoorDash. I just picked up a burger. It was actually well packaged which I appreciated.
They have gluten free burgers!! The gluten free bun was pretty decent. Still tastes gluten free, ofc, but it’s not that bad.“

“The Malt House had a really good burger and fries definitely hit the spot. But the mocktails were a miss for me. We ordered a non-alcoholic mojito, and I’m pretty sure they added bitters, which threw off the taste. The music was also a bit of a turnoff… it felt like a mix of Halloween tunes and Broadway songs, which didn’t match the vibe at all. That said, the space looked nice and the staff was friendly and attentive.“

“An amazing, friendly, caring customer service always☺️The BEST place to have a nice time, i HIGHLY recommend.“

“I had the chance to check out Seoul bap in the city and glad i did. We ordered a few different items and a couple drinks so we could taste a variety of things. We started off with drinks, mine was pretty strong they do not skimp on the alcohol.
For appetizers we had the korean fried chicken and corn cheese. The kfc was nice and crispy with a nice kick to it. The corn cheese was delicious and even had a spicy cauliflower in it that gave it some flare.
For main courses we did the famous galbi jjim - this is a must! It is tender fall of the bone perfection, the sauce is divine and the parsnip puree completes it. The spicy pork wasn't that spicy which I preferred and was good on its own. And then the burrata tteokbokki, what a combo! The burrata really added a nice cooling touch to the spicy sauce, really great pairing.
We ended dinner with black Sesame ice cream which was very velvety.
The restaurant is very nicely lit, great atmosphere and the staff was so sweet and welcoming!“

“Delicious food and specialty drinks. I love when DJ Cindy Kim plays. Great music to go with the beautiful atmosphere.“

“Great food, good drinks and lovely staff“

“Excellent food & great service!“

“Merveilleux dîner pour notre dernière soirée à New York. Le cadre, les saveurs et le service, tout était parfait. Merci 😁“

“We love this bar! A beautiful, ornate building with a warm , friemdly & helpful bartender, Brian A.! Drinks were delicious, Brian was very attentive, we stayed much longer than intended because we loved it! Mocktails Brian picked for me, so delicious! Thank you for a great time for us!“

“This was a fun spot downstairs in our hotel. Great to stop by and enjoy a quick bite and some NY beer in a hip yet casual atmosphere.“

“Great experience, fun vibe, great drinks, even better staff.“

“AJ is a great bartender! Made our Saturday adventure fun!“

“food was amazing. nice place, nice atmosphere“

“Lively sports bar with good service and polite staff. The prices are affordable, making it a great spot to hang out. They also have a speakeasy downstairs, where I attended a private event. It’s a pretty cool space with an exposed original brick ceiling, adding to the charm.

Kid-friendliness: No“

“A ideal quiet spot in Midtown East in the late afternoon, probably the only one with all the construction going on Lexington Avenue outside, for a cordial business meeting for coffee or a glass of wine, with very welcomng and professional waiters.“

“Came on last day in New York and I would highly recommend . The panini’s were fabulous and the bartender was lovely. Hidden gem in my book 😉“

“Loved their wings and appys“

“Really enjoyed our evening here! The cocktails were super innovative - they have “beertails” which are cocktails made with beer! We also tried their classic “mini” souvlaki and the 8 hour braised octopus! Our favorite was the Lamb Shank that fell right off the bone - we will definitely be back!“

“I came here for dinner with friends and we all enjoyed it! The interior of the restaurant is cozy and we got a booth seating. Service was fairly quick, and staff was friendly.

We ordered a variety of dishes: the cucumbers, kaisendons (the mini and uni ones), the squid, the chicken and meat assortments, chicken karaage, and okonomiyaki. Everything was delicious. My friends loved their cucumbers and mini kaisendon, while I loved their squid and uni kaisendon. The skewers were delicious and juicy, and I highly recommend trying their assortments. Definitely one of my favorite izakayas in the city, so far.“

“Had such a great experience at Versa! The rooftop views are definitely the highlight — you get an amazing look at the city, and it’s the perfect spot for summer nights. We came for drinks and apps, and everything was honestly better than expected. The cocktails were super refreshing (highly recommend the spicy margarita) and the food was really solid for a rooftop spot — definitely not just an ‘overpriced for the view’ kind of place.

The vibe is lively but still chill enough that you can actually have a conversation. Music was great, and the staff was super friendly and attentive even though it was busy. Definitely recommend for a fun night out with friends or even a casual date night. It gives you that NYC rooftop energy without feeling too pretentious. Will definitely be back!“

“This victorian inspired restaurant was very pleasant to the eyes. It really looks like you’re stepping back in time. I hear they offer an afternoon tea. I would like to come back and try that someday but we were here for dinner and it was wonderful. We had the lobster ravioli, and the steak and frites. Everyone we came in contact with was attentive and pleasant. They also have a full bar so I imagine they have a great cocktail hour or so.“

“What an awesome place. came in for the flyers/rangers game. wanted a spot with tvs, and great food and drink. Awesome music, and it's one of the more refined sports bars in the area with only a 2 min walk to Madison Square Garden. The staff was amazing and so welcoming. Will definitely be returning soon. The Assistant General manager was a babe!“

“What. A fantastic afternoon with some top Blues supporters. Made to feel at home with true fans. Thanks guys“

“Some of the best KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) in the city offering packaged deal including beer tower and an app. The place is decorated in Karaoke memorabilia with vinyls, classic turntables, mics and speakers adorning the walls. The wings are made to order crispy skin with spicy saucy. Good atmosphere, a bit loud for conversation and with private okey tables if you are inclined.“

“Upgrade on the usual Irish pub with good food and a fun bartender in Sam who served drinks with casual wit and knowing inteligence. I hope to come back.“

“Nice & wonderful meals. The staff are very professional.“

“One of my FAVORITE spots in ktown! Always amazing service- the staff is always super friendly- went for my birthday this weekend and they made my experience wonderful! Eriq is the BEST!! Will 100% be bringing me & my friends back for more!💕🍾“

“great cocktails! fab atmosphere“

“Nice place. Definitely will be back“

“Staff is SUPER friendly and helpful and the cocoa is AMAZINGSAUCE!! (Also, there's pretty much always a game or five going down when you walk in) 20/10“

“Max is the best bartender at the best bar in the East Village.
There are games behind the counter, for example, chess, backgammon, Yahtzee, etc.
A billiards table near the back always has competition. Many people battle to be the king of the table until closing.
The early weekdays are quieter than the large crowds on Thursday-Saturday.
The summer heat won't get you in the well air conditioned bar.
Also, Max plays good music.“

“We went there for a union get together. It was nice.“

“super great. full recomen“
