45 Best Pubs in New York

“Great Steakhouse, true classic“

“Service was excellent, food arrived quickly & was wonderful.“

“it was fun to be here i enjoyed so much.“

“I had such a wonderful experience at Royale. First it has an awesome bar and restaurant indoors and the space outdoors is beautifully decorated. I have celiac disease and they had the most delicious gluten free nachos (made on site) ever! They were perfect. I was so happy I could have them and they were excellent! Great atmosphere and food! Highly recommend when in the Village.“

“They have a big selection of beers to pick from and I’m glad we stopped by for drinks. The decorations are more on the simpler side, but there’s several tables and chairs. For people who don’t like bitter beers, I’d recommend their half moon mosaic dream ipa or espresso martinis. We will definitely come back to try more drinks and have more of their espresso martinis. They also have a two drink minimum for credit cards. You can keep an open tab for the night and pay before you leave.“

“Best Ethiopian cuisine I’ve had outside of Ethiopia! Service was great, atmosphere was vibrant, live music, open mic, poetry this place has it all!“

“great food and people RIP Billy you're very missed“

“Really good food and wonderful ambience.“

“Great local spot to grab a beer and a burger and watch a game. Made even better now that @shaingallagher has moved over from the Dark Horse which closed.“

“Great beer selection. Great staff. Good vibe. Good people. I am a native New Yorker and very picky about my bars and defensive of my neighborhood. This is the best bar I’ve been to in years. I only wish I’d discovered it sooner.“

“Great place to watch sports and excellent bar wings and burgers“

“Great bar. Amazing staff and vibe.“

“Great spot for your 20s if you live on the UES. Came here quite a bit when I was younger. They have beer pong and I’d say its a classed up sports bar. My friend met her husband here years ago. The food here is decent American bar food but nothing crazy. When it does get busy and really packed here the service can suffer and it can be difficult to get a drink.“

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

“Nice ambience! Found it on google and we did brunch. Portions were brunch size and tasty. The beer and drinks were good as well as the food. Ashley, our sever, was wonderful despite her just starting. Parking is Difficult but it was a good choice especially since it was spur of the moment.Parking: Pack your patience“

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

“A pretty legit British pub in midtown Manhattan. Came here with my squash team after completing at a nearby fancy-smancy club. One of my teammates happen to be British so it got his stamp of approval for the establishment being legit.All of the tables were taken, so we went to the bar, where there was available seating along the wall. We had to order our food and drinks at the bar, but they did bring out the food to serve us.I tried their Old Speckled Hen ($10), which is a legit British beer not owned by AB-Inbev. Since it's very hard to find a place to get this, I had to give it a try. Not bad I must admit.Foodwise, I got the classic Fish & Chips ($29). The filet is pretty decent sized and thick. Could use a bit more tartar sauce. Filling and satisfying.“

“Live bands all day you can’t beat it. Great music, good atmosphere and friendly staff“

“My favorite neighborhood bar when I lived on the upper east side. Miss late night drinking and darts �“

“My friend and I visited Avoca for a Saturday brunch, and it was fantastic. While there was a wait for the outdoor dining area, we found a table indoors without a problem. My friend ordered the EGG SLUTT, and I had the AVOCA EGG WHITE SMASH. I absolutely loved my egg white smash sandwich, especially the breakfast potatoes, which were cut into wedges and seasoned with special spices.The service was excellent, and the ambiance was laid-back and not too loud, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed brunch. It’s definitely a good idea to make a reservation, as the place was almost full by the time we finished. Overall, Avoca is a great place for a decent brunch.“

“We go to Le Cheile several times a week. Occasionally we go elsewhere in the neighborhood, but we usually end up regretting it. Only at Le Cheile is our day brightened by the kind and curteous waitstaff, always attentive without being pushy, we know that we are being taken care of. We hate to play favorites but Anna is the best! Whenever Anna is here we buy more drinks and eat more food, she makes the best reccommendations and is great at reading the mood at our table. At the same time as we love Anna, we could not speak more highly of everyone who works here: Anna, Forist and Lizzy are the best.“

“great vibes. one of the oldest bar in the city. nice patio in the summer and great drinks served all night long. go in the afternoon to enjoy west village on a sunny day. this place is always packed so you may have to wait in line to get a seat. cool decor inside too - must see in the city.“

“Perfect atmosphere for a quick lunch after visiting the Statue of Liberty. Service was excellent and our waiter was attentive! He even offered suggestions on activities for our family that our 8-year-old would enjoy!“

“Great Brunch! Fun time, awesome vibe!“

“Went to attend a Bitcoin related talk on a Thursday night. Wish the bar had more cocktail/mock-tail options, but seems like 90% were men, so can’t expect too much.Nice open space at the back of the bar, they host events almost everyday and sometimes a few events a night.Very convenient location, easy to find, food and drinks are good, everyone’s friendly too!“

“They also have awesome drinks.“

“Great Guiness pour! Glad there were some cider options“

“Had the absolute best time celebrating my birthday here thanks to Rudy, Aine, Brian and the rest of the 3 Sheets team. They made my party feel so welcome, and Rudy kept us in insanely high spirits all night. Can’t recommend this place or this team enough!!!! We’ll be back :)“

“Great atmosphere Great drinks Great bar staff“

“Ordered a pint of beer of the day (7$) and a burger with fries (15$). Later I had a guinness (10$). Food was somehow boring, there were no salad at the burger only at the side, and the onions were not fresh. For the price still ok. Anyway the vibe was good and the staff was friendly. Would recomend.“

“Wandered into this bar on a friday and had a delightful experience. Impressive service, great cocktails, delicious top tier bar food. Staff were friendly and attentive. The volume level is perfect for conversation and I enjoyed that they had ESPN on with “

“I absolutely love Jasper’s Tap House & Kitchen! Their Santa Fe chicken sandwich is a standout favorite of mine, worth crossing town for. The fries are divine, and the portion sizes are generous.The staff is also incredibly friendly and made the experience even more enjoyable. Can't wait for my next visit!“

“Good food not over priced with friendly staff 5 star“

“We stopped by while visiting NYC a few months ago and the food and atmosphere were a treat. After eating at Jeff Ramsey Atlantic City Pub restaurant the night before we decided to compare burgers. Hands down Walkers was better. On top of that the bartender was top notch.“

“Our favorite place with a superior craft beer selection and great food at great pricing with the most amazing staff ever!“

“We had the best time, and staff, food, and drinks were fabulous!“

“I love this place. I spent a couple nights over NFL Wildcard weekend this year watching the games. Great small town bar vibes, excellent for watching the games (especially on the Monday night, when it was much quieter than Saturday). Great barmen, no music and friendly clientele. You can order in your own food too.“

“Great place!! Good food(especially the burgers), great selection of craft beer and super friendly staff. Would definitely go back.“

“I went to watch the Milan derby and it was a pleasant surprise. Without a shadow of a doubt I can say that it is absolutely the place with the best welcome that I have found in New York. Competent and very kind staff. Truly congratulations and thank you very much.“

“Great local Irish bar. I was staying a week at a nearby hotel and this place had the exact Irish bar feel I needed. I instantly felt like a regular they were glad to see, coming and going. Proper for an Irish place. Good pours on the beers. I was here for the first 2016 Presidential Debates and there was a lot of opinions, but in true NYC style, nobody got bent, no matter how much of a (&%$g idiot the other person was.“

“Great lamb burger and codfish po boy! Delicious pumpkin ale. Nice server. Highly recommend.“

“Amazing staff and prime location. The service is nothing short of exceptional with bartenders and waitstaff who genuinely care about each and every customer’s experience. The Sefton team always delivers by going above and beyond anyone’s typical expectation for an nyc bar. Food and drink were A++. Music was on point too. Joe is truly one of a kind with a great sense of humor. I had the opportunity to meet him and he could not have been more gracious and welcoming. He is very patient and open to any feedback from his customers. A friend and I played a late April Fools joke on him amidst our intoxication and he could not have handled it in a more professional manner. As a regular at several city bars, I tip my hat to the owners of this incredible establishment. Can’t wait to return one day!“

“My crew stopped in for an early bite after work. The bacon cheddar burgers came quickly and were wonderful! Dermot, the owner, was just great. He sat and told us stories about his home in Ireland and how he got to this place. We work at the college around the corner several times a year and will definitely go back.“

“This place was a treat! We were staying at a hotel down the street and my husband was looking for a place to watch the game so the hotel suggested Goldie's Tavern. It was a very nice American pub. Everyone was lovely and the food was delicious.“

“Love Amity, been going to both locations for years… however, there have been several occasions within the last year where the uptown location has been hosting private events and we’ve either had to move in the middle of our drinks or we’ve been sequestered into the small crowded back bar area… can you at least post on your website when you’re hosting a private event, gone out of my way several times to be left disappointed and squished.“
