“I came to Buddy’s on my very first day in New York and was immediately impressed! The service was exceptional, and the bartenders made me feel so welcome from the moment I walked in. I’ve come back every single week since!

A special shoutout to Brian - he is so kind, welcoming, and always has the best energy. I recommend Buddy’s to anyone visiting New York. It’s a great sports bar with high-quality food, great drinks, and even better music. I’ll be coming back forever!“

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

“Wow! After looking at many places on Columbus that just didn’t thrill us, we were SO happy to find the incredibly delicious Mexican cuisine at Nina’s last night I had the Cochinita Pibil (with an orange habanero salsa on the side that will let you know who’s boss…) and my old friend had Enchiladas Mole with chicken. Excellent and authentic food with warm, friendly staff, and a great bar selection with many tequilas. Nina’s is great! Reasonable too! Glad to give credit where it’s due to this 7mo old establishment that I hope stays for many years! Will return for more!“

“My buddy and I stopped in for lunch yesterday and were very pleasantly surprised with our experience. We thought we’d watch a little football while sitting at the bar, ya know, nothing special…well, first of all, Miw, the young lady behind the bar, was as nice as could be. The burgers that we ordered or excellent, and even the salad that came with the burger was great! We met Britney the owner and she also a pleasure to speak with! If you haven’t been here, you need to go check it out!“

“Was in Printers Alley this weekend with my parents for the first time staying in a hotel nearby and found this place really nice and chill with good food, loads of TVs for games with a big NFL game on while we were in - We sat at the bar as a lot of the tables were reserved but Thomas was so nice and took great care of us while checking in regularly with us to make sure we were okay while also giving my parents a laugh and recommendations on what to do around the city. Can't fault this bar at all and will definitely be back next time in NYC!“

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

“Emphasis on the friendly bartenders ;) Come check out Music Tuesdays @Blondies starting 1/16!“

“Absolutely my favorite hidden gem!“

“The band, The Gyst were fantastic. They are a professional band, sound great, and I drove 3 hours to hear them play. The place and people loved them, I would suggest having them play at your establishment more often. The food was also phenomenal.“

“What’s to Share. Claire and Nikki and Cahir are rockstars. Foods is good, service is the best I’ve seen next to me pouring rockstars to those who want to drink. If only you could See my shoulders wiggle and rock right now, you’d get it If you don’t go get you don’t know how to live.“

“My mom and I had a light dinner here that was easy and really good. Mickey did a nice job as our server and the food was quite good. Super easy access if you're staying next door at the Omni Berkshire and worth crossing the street for:)“

“I decided to take a trip to the Stumble Inn after work. The place was loud from the music and various conversations taking place. The staff was nice though it did take a while for entree to be served.

The Second Avenue Stumbler was cooked well done as it contained cheese and mushrooms inside the beef patty. It was a little dry but it was filling. It was a good thing that I arrived at the restaurant in a famished state. The cider on draft was refreshing on hot day such as it was.

Overall it's a nice place on the Upper East Side.“

“5 STAR 🌟 service yesterday food & Drinks outstanding my waitress was awesome. Beautiful place beautiful atmosphere.“

“Had a fantastic experience at Haswell Green’s. Fun drinks, great service …will absolutely be back for happy hour!“

“construction guy here. I’ve been working in the city for 30 years and have bought lunch every work day, in all the burroughs. I can honestly say…You can’t get a better cheesesteak anywhere else!!!“

“Travelled to NYC from London just after new year with my wife and son and researched before we came where to catch the game and this place was everywhere when I looked up places to watch Arsenal, I had to come and experience it and was not disappointed! extremely welcomed by the locals and regulars, beautiful atmosphere and very friendly topped off by the excellent bar staff and of course the legendary Christiano. I could tell just from 1 visit O'Hanlons is a very community orientated bar who do so much for the people around them“

“Had a wonderful evening with my aunt. The service, food and drinks was excellent.“

“Ab excellent place, really good drinks, great prices and very clean. I will absolutely visit it again during my stay in NY. The wings were delicious, so tender and juicy and the Jack Daniels Bbq wooow!

The service was perfect, all the attentive to our requests and needs.“

“I recently dropped by this bar on a whim after work and was pleasantly surprised by how exceptionally fun it is. Randy was my bartender, and he was incredibly attentive and kind. Noticing I was by myself, he sparked up a conversation and made my short visit feel much more comfortable. I highly recommend checking this place out, and definitely ask for Randy—he is super nice and chill!“

“Friendly staff…..but when the place is busy you’re going to wait“

“Sins is a great neighborhood spot!! The vibe is fun and the decor inside helps it stand out compared to other similar bars in the area. When I was there on a Friday night it was the perfect amount of busy and lively without being obnoxious, or impossible to get a drink. Chelsea behind the bar was a pro, handling multiple orders and our big group with ease. Excited to return!!“

“Sehr gute Tische, aber keine brauchbaren Schläger. Tischmiete sehr teuer (bis zu 59 $ die Stunde), Dienstags ab 9 pm allerdings nur 9 $.“

“This place is so cool- I love that there’s vegan food options (and they are GOOD like bar food options) and it’s definitely a fun sports bar vibe but more like you’re also at your bffs house :):) Plus, women’s sports let’s goooo!!!“

“I have very fond memories here, it was like a little home from home for me while I was bi Atlantic for 6 years, working on the same block as the Pig There are lots of “Irish pubs” in the vicinity, although this is the only one that felt like a real pub in the UK rather than a novelty in New York Hopefully I will be back again one day! Thanks for great times when I was missing home 🇬🇧 xxx“

“I went there with friends. All the staff are very friendly and always with a big smile. Affordable prices for drinks and appetizers. We did have a great time.“

“fun staff, great food. chill vibe“

“Amazing service and so much history from the day and days following 9-11. I highly recommend everyone come here once in their lives.“

“There’s something to be said about customer service & hospitality! Sometimes sitting outside is a risk, but I’ve never had better service. Spencer was so sweet, kind, responsive, a gem! Dinner was amazing, reasonable prices, can’t wait to go back 🤌🏼“

“Mellers is great! My friends and I came here for multiple football playoff games and other sporting events. Everyone is very nice especially the owner who is there and greeting and checking in on folks. Great neighborhood spot with good beer and food. We are back often!“

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

“We have been using Hair of the Dog for about 4years now and is really impressed by the quality of work they do on our dog. Very convenient to every family needs. Always willing to help you with your concerns and always give us the best advice when we ask. We use Carolina who is absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend her and the company for your pets needs.“

“This is one of my favorite spots to grab a beer and burger. Just a short walk from Washington Square Park, it's the perfect spot to hit after a day of shopping. Rocco's has a killer happy hour! I sipped on a cold beer and an espresso martini. The burger was seriously one of the best I’ve had in ages—cooked perfectly with toasted buns, and the fries were nicely portioned. The sports bar vibe here is awesome; the place is decked out with all kinds of sports gear, and in the corner, there's a nostalgic basketball game playing. Definitely a spot to chill with friends or catch the game with a brew.“

“There’s something about Kelly’s that just feels right. I gravitate towards it as a place to enjoy a couple drinks at the bar and I always have a pleasant experience. Bartenders have always been friendly and attentive. At my last visit had the fish tacos and they were incredible. Great value as they were huge and loaded with the good stuff“

“Great staff and food. Spacious too!“

“Close your eyes and picture your ideal sports bar—then realize One4One somehow exceeds it.

Lower Manhattan didn’t know it needed a place like this. Knowing the team behind some of the city’s best hospitality concepts (Little Ways, Flower Shop, and more), I had high expectations, and they still managed to raise the bar.

The layout is a huge differentiator. Two floors, two full bars, and plenty of space mean you’re never fighting for a spot or settling for a bad view of the game. It feels designed for fans instead of packed around them.

I watched the entire U.S. Soccer World Cup run here, and regardless of the result on the field, every visit felt like a win. Zach has built a team that genuinely understands hospitality. From the hosts and bartenders to the servers and even security, everyone strikes the perfect balance of being attentive without hovering. You feel welcomed, taken care of, and part of the atmosphere.

What makes One4One stand out isn’t just the number of TVs or the drinks—it’s that they deliver the energy of a packed sports bar with the hospitality of a great neighborhood restaurant. That’s a combination most competitors never quite get right.“

“Feliz! Celebrando Año Nuevo!“

“Loved everything about this spot! The vibe is so chill and we really liked the aesthetic and setup. The staff is very friendly and big shoutout and thanks to Tim Powell for your excellent customer service! We can't wait to come back soon!“

“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!“

“the wings were fire and they even gave us free shot“
