The Bronx Brewery & Hudson Yards Kitchen

The food and beer are good, albeit overpriced. Portions are smaller than the pictures would lead you to believe. The forced 20% tip felt a little excessive, considering everything is ordered by phone. The default additional 20% tip (on top of the unremovable 20% gratuity) that you have to manually remove when closing out your tab felt completely unnecessary and a little rude, tbh. A 40% tip should not be the default (hell, even a 20% shouldn't, given the minimal service). Pay attention when closing your tab.

We found this place and decided to go in for a couple of beers on a rainy NYC summer evening. The brewery is located in Hudson Yards, a rather upscale shopping mall. However, in spite of this, they do strive to have authentic brewery vibes. There is some seating inside the actual brewery space, and additional Biergarten style picnic tables and benches just outside in the mall lobby. We opted to sit at the picnic tables. We had two beers each. In total we had the summer ale, the hi my guy, the Pilsner, and the lager. All were very good. There was one young man working and the place got really busy. He was definitely on top of things, working the bar, serving and bussing tables, and maintaining cleanliness the taproom. He was working hard, but remained pleasant, fun, and helpful. All in all, a great experience. Definitely recommend for good beer and vibes - especially if you need a break from NYC rain.

Great food and exceptionally fast & pleasant service. I had a good time checking this place out on my trip to NYC- no regrets! I tried the “power up” IPA and it was awesome! Thank you guys. The food is great as well. The place is also tastefully decorated.

Food: mediocre and over priced. Your apps are expensive and under portioned, likely to offset the half price happy hour… I get that it’s in Hudson yard but $8 for a cheese quesadilla that’s more tortilla than cheese? The actual entrees are at least portioned appropriately for the price, but still pretty mid. The drinks are fine

Service: good service where you order on your phone and it keeps a running tab. Pretty neat

Atmosphere: not my cup of tea. I’m not gonna say much beyond that. Standard city bar kitchen

The kicker: the reason why I gave it a 1 star instead of 3 is the shady business practice of doing a mandatory 20% tip that you cannot change… fine, whatever living wage and all that, I always 20% regardless but I’m starting my meal annoyed. The thing that really kills me is that the checkout screen has an additional tip selection that is opt-out and also defaults to 20%! I cannot begin the fathom how many people unintentionally gave a 40% tip on mid overpriced pap… if you care about your customers, make the additional tip selection opt-in >:(

Went in with my 8 months pregnant wife to ask for a glass of tap water and the bartender rolled his eyes before refusing and directing us to a waterfountain that's out of order. It was also almost empty, he was just chatting with a friend. Too many good options to consider a place like this!!

Great place - nice atmosphere, high quality beers. The IPAs are better than the poshed up lagers in my opinion.

Brilliant atmosphere and great place to socialise
