50 Best Gastropubs in New York

“Enjoyed a Fabulous dinner and Found the food Delicious and Authentic 💯 The staff was warm and attentive, also the atmosphere and Cleanliness were top notch. Well done, We'll be back⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“was able to snag a reservation easily on a wednesday night. It was exceptional contemporary take on Korean cuisine. perfectly fried monkfish and an incredibly crisp, flavorful fried soft-shell crab. A standout experiential highlight is the DIY scallop gimbap. For the mains, the duck bulgogi was our favorite: umami, savory, and sweet notes, all tied together with a deeply satisfying charred, smoky finish. The bread pudding that is wonderfully delicious without being overly sweet, followed by a gingery shaved ice that provides a sharp, refreshing palate cleanser“

“Arrived early for a two-person reservation on a hot summer New York night, fresh off the excitement of the Knicks parade - we didn’t catch it but the energy was palpable.

Even though our table wasn’t ready (we were a full hour early after all), the hostess was kind enough to help us pick out a chenin blanc to enjoy inside before being seated outside.

While the burger was absolutely delicious, the highlight of the evening was our server, Hunter. He struck the perfect balance of being attentive and giving us space, allowing us to enjoy our conversation without interruption. Somehow, he always seemed to appear at exactly the right moment whenever we needed something.

Exceptional service, great food, and a wonderful experience all around. We’ll definitely be back.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of My Favorite Korean Restaurants! Seoul BAP is not just another Korean restaurant — the food is absolutely amazing! Every dish is full of rich, authentic Korean flavors with a modern twist. It’s truly one of the best Korean dining spots in the city. The cocktail menu is just as exciting — featuring creative drinks that perfectly match the vibe and flavor of the food. 🍹 Spicy Passionfruit Margarita – bold and vibrant with a Korean-inspired kick. 🥃 Bourbon Bee Hive – smooth, rich, and full of depth. 💜 Lavender Skies – crafted with premium gin infused with butterfly pea flower and lavender, finished with a touch of Amaro — simply elegant. And the newest favorite everyone’s asking for: 🌺 Midnight Hibiscus – a hibiscus-infused vodka cocktail with elderflower and gentle sweetness. It’s beautifully balanced and pairs perfectly with Seoul BAP’s contemporary Korean cuisine. Best enjoyed with Taylor Swift’s Opalite playing in the background! 🎶✨ Come check out Seoul BAP — where Seoul meets style, flavor, and good vibes all in one place.“

“We are never disappointed when we stop here when we visit NYC. Atmosphere and food is always fantastic and they make killer Manhattans. We just went for the 2023 Rockefeller tree and the staff was pleasant and accommodating. so happy they were decorated for the holidays. 100% go to in our opinion.“

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

“Unbeatable happy hour but uneven drink quality. First pina colada quite good — mild, not too sweet, had an interestingly refreshing cucumber and lime flavor. Second pina colada tasted like a different drink — liquid candy. I probably should have asked for a remake but it was just too crowded and hard to get bartender’s attention.“

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

“perfect perfect perfect atmosphere. bottom floor is a sports bar and the top floor is a disco ball/photo booth lounge-ish bar. a very photo-worthy spot. food was great, drinks were hard to resist, and they do bottomless drinks for some drinks (just have to buy food). i didnt do the bottomless drinks, but will likely come back for it haha“

“Such a gem in Koreatown! The food and drinks were delicious, the vibe is cozy and cute, and the prices are very reasonable. The staff were all attentive and experienced, which made the whole experience even better. What makes it extra special is that WOW Karaoke is right one floor below — so dinner and karaoke in one spot makes for the perfect night out. Already planning my next visit! 🎤✨​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“We enjoyed eating at Blackwell's in Oct/Nov 2018 while visiting New York from Ireland. Ann Marie made us very welcome. Food was really nice and staff were very helpful. Hope to visit again if when visit New York again.“

“Very good izakaya spot. Solid martini, ice cold beers, and lots of good to great skewers. Loved the chicken meatballs, the haachi tataki, and they do tempura extremely well. The service was prompt and friendly at the beginning but faded about half way through. Overall I recommend NoMad is you are in the mood for Izakaya that’s affordable and largely delicious.“

“Hosted a birthday party here and the experience was amazing from start to finish. Christine and Meg made the planning so easy and were so incredibly kind. On the night of the party, Tony and Elisa (sp?) and the rest of the GM team gave us an amazing evening! We will be back — thank you Gin Mill!“

“We had a reservation for 2 on a Thursday evening in June, seated outside. We had been to the SoHo location for lunch before, but never to Flatiron. The food, which we have come to expect to be delicious, was excellent once again, and the entire evening was beautifully enhanced by the warm and gracious service of Wendy, our server. Thank you for your hospitality and humor. The entire night felt very special.“

“Cannot fault, walked in after a walk around Central Park and Paddy & Sonya(?) made me instantly feel welcome. Great hospitality from the outset, to the point I felt at home (UK, not quite Ireland). Highly recommend, especially if you love a bite of banter. Great place to visit in NYC“

“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!“

“Great for dinner while watching a game“

“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 😉“

“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.“

“Great place to spend time“

“Tasty hot pots. A lot of beautifully decorated deserts. Wings and rolls are great too“

“Found this recommended as a hidden gem, and I'm glad we added it to our itinerary! We went during happy hour and we were very pleased with the quality and the quantity of food for the price. We got the half and half wings and they were delicious! They were a hearty size compared to most places that serve wings anymore. I plan to return the next time I'm in the city!“

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