Have been here twice over the summer and it was excellent both times. Burgers and standard pub food but prepared well and cooked the way it was requested, medium rare. Fries are solid and beer list very well curated and good sized. Had a Alchemist Heady Topper which is a tough to find beef.

I am appalled by the reviews of this place. We stopped by due to the advertised bottomless brunch. We ordered 2 orders of bottomless mimosas, light OJ. The mimosas were all OJ. I didn't even finish one. I asked for a carafe of just champagne, couldn't do it unless I bought a bottle. So this far we are $40 deep in awful drinks that I can't even swallow bc it's all OJ. We got nachos and chicken fingers. Nachos were not good. Chicken fingers could have been good (breading was) but massively over cooked and chewy. $78 for half a drink each and two 1/4 eaten meals.

Came in on a Friday right around midnight. The place was busy and filled with a younger crowd. If I’m being honest, at first glance, I didn’t think this place was for me. That quickly changed. The service we received from the two gentlemen behind the bar was nothing short of some of the absolute best I have ever experienced in my life. They were so genuinely welcoming and hospitable. Not only with us, it with other patrons as well. What started as a single drink on the way home turned in to three rounds and one for the road. Bartenders like these are one in a million. Thank you for the stellar service. Absolutely cannot wait to come visit again! If you’re in the neighborhood give this place a shot!

Ordered the chicken fingers for our young daughter and they were very good! The size, flavor, and crispiness was on point.

Great place for an after work event. The upstairs is good for 20-25 people and the service was excellent. Food was also very good.

The drinks are decently priced but I’m giving 5 stars for the playlist alone. Whatever elder millennial made it deserves a raise. Blink, Placebo, Hoobastank, Offspring…Did we go to Warped Tour together? Are you single?

Pub food and good beer. Eat outside if possible. Great location in Midtown neighborhood and friendly staff.

Beer bar, haven't been in over a decade since I moved out of state but I was in the city for work so I had to hit it up again. Wings & burgers are still good, beer selection is still really good, bourbon & whisky selection has improved. Recommend if you're into microbrews.

Had a quick stop for pongelo. The inside deco was cool, loved the atmosphere on Friday evening!!! Maybe a little bit louder sometimes but that's what a place like this is for!

First things first, this is one of the best places me and my friend found during our NYC hangouts . They have a great selection of beers and cocktails. Prices look good,friendly staff and the crowd seems descent. We ordered some food as well. The food was good and filling . Initially we thought to reach during happy hour time to explore more of their menu. Even without happy hour ,the price seemed great.

Had a bit of time to kill after we checked out of our hotel & before our flight, so popped down into this unassuming & cozy little pub. This was the only place we went to in NYC that had a sour craft beer on tap, so I was happy. The brisket sliders were very good, with soft buns & slender pickled onions on top. They were served with a tiny bit of slaw that I thought really complimented the slider. MR T was in the mood for wings & made the unfortunate decision to order the "scorching" hot level. He drank several beers, two waters & helped himself to my water too. Next time, perhaps the "hot" would be a better idea, although he declared them very flavorful. I think he was only able to eat 4 before he surrendered. The fries were perfection, crispy on the outside & seasoned ideally. We are these until we literally couldn't eat anymore. We visited around 2ish on a Monday and there were only about 4 other patrons that came & went, and one lady came & placed a to-go order. Our bartender seemed to be the only front of house present & he was friendly & helpful. He was quick on our refills & the food came quickly too. He was chatty when we invoked a conversation but never overstayed his visits to our table. A smooth & relaxing experience which we plan on doing again when we're back in NYC.

Sat at the bar and tried to get the bartenders attention. One bartender was on his phone for five minutes, and the other bartender was talking to her friends. She served her friends another round, and we could still not get her attention to get even a first drink. We ended up leaving without even placing an order. I don't think they even noticed that we were there.

Drinks were good and so was atmosphere. Happy hour prices weren't applied however. Bartender may have been busy and money was collected and recorded after 7, drinks ordered before 7. I'd love to come back, please honor happy hour price. I'm noticing the amount shown for order punched into system is the standard even if a discrepancy occurs.
