Hands down the best bar in the neighborhood. You are always greated by friendly and attentive staff who go above and beyond to ensure that you have a great time. The bar is surrounded with TV's playing every game imaginable. The staff is very approachable and if there is a particular game that you want to watch, they are more than happy to change the channel. For major games, they always turn on the sound. Get there early for the big game; the place gets packed quickly. They have AMAZING food, in particular the fish and chips and truffle fries. I am not a beer drinker but they have at least 20 on tap.
I came here for karaoke on a Sunday night. As a single woman, I liked that there was a female KJ and she was respectful of people. The acoustics aren't the greatest for singing and they do have their regulars but as a newcomer who can sing, I felt like it was a welcoming atmosphere where there weren't jerky guys trying to harass me. Guys I talked to here were capable of having a civilized conversation with a woman. The songbook also had a decent selection and some of those regulars were a cutup. A few went out in the pouring rain and were making out; it made me miss my last boyfriend who'd have totally been on board with such a thing. I will definitely come back on a Thursday or a Sunday when I'm free.
Nice place to go to go for drink after work, pre gaming, or to cap of the night. Last Saturday was my first check in but we come here almost every weekend. I was sold after I seen how many draft beers are available and the fact that I believe happy hour is all day. Of it isn't there definitely are drinks that are on special everyday. Not to mention drinks aren't over priced. The crowd is mixed mostly young professionals that are from the area so it doesn't have that touristy feel to it. Food is from what I can remember the few times I've ordered was ok. Will say I never really see people eating. The staff is for the most part friendly the male bartenders to me are better. Overall great place definitely worth checking in.
Stopped in on a whim bc a group of us were trying to find a last minute meet up spot for another friend to join.
Location/Accessibility : Certainly very close to the ACE train's 42nd St stop. Very obvious and easy to find along 9th Ave.
Ambience : Your typical sports bar for sure. Plenty of tv's, lit well enough, and quite spacious. The noise level was pretty average, although the place certainly wasn't packed, and there weren't any huge games going on at the time. Got there a little after 7, so the happy hour crowd would've been gone for the most part (or so I assume). Good for groups though if you want to come with several friends. There were 5 of us tonight, and they were more than happy to push some tables together to accommodate.
Service : Eh. This was very much just okay. The server was essentially just doing her job. Wasn't overly friendly or helpful, but I wouldn't go so far as to say she was unpleasant either. She seemed a little annoyed that she had to come back twice for our drink order, but who knows. Maybe she was having a rough day. Drinks came out quickly – 2 cocktails and 3 beers.
Drink : I ordered the Caribbean Rum Punch. It looked very pretty, unfortunately it didn't taste so great. Definitely had the coconut flavor, but I'm one of those people that strongly prefers to have as little of that alcohol taste and burn as possible. This was one of those drinks that I downed just not to waste.
Overall, it didn't seem like anything special. However, to be fair, I wish I'd tried some of their food. Perhaps that would've offset things a bit. If you're looking for any bar to grab a drink at, then this place is fine; but if you're looking for special drinks or a place that is super unique/fun, then there are certainly better finds.
The bar is really big with a nice sleek decor. They boast EVERY sport played on multiple televisions throughout the bar. For happy hour, I ordered a disappointing white peach sangria. It tasted like a cheap, bitter white wine mixed with water with a couple of canned peaches thrown in the bottom. The vegetable flatbread was also mediocre. The bread was a flat soft pita, which was less substantial bread than I was hoping. The vegetables topping the bread with some cheese were nothing special. It's your run of the mill bar with a larger than expected space to hang out and watch a game.
Dalton means so much to me! I have so much history here and even after many years I usually end my nights here when I'm in an already drunken state. It's an Irish sports bar with Sunday night Karoake who wouldn't love this place? Every night they're open till 4am and you will always be greeted by a bartender with an Irish accent! The bartenders are pretty cool except for the Red Head so I keep my distance from her. They almost always have drinks specials that include shots, mixed drinks and bottled beers. Do me a favor and stay away from their Sangria it was the biggest mistake ever!! Way too sweet and just I guess something that no one ever orders so it had a bitter taste. The food is decent and the drinks are strong. The crowd is mainly kids that are barely 21 and people that have been going there for years. It's your average neighborhood bar with good vibes.
I normally don't review till after service has been completed and the bill paid, but this warranted my need to review prior to the end.
First off we're here for a pitch event, while my mother is pitching I'm trying to enjoy dinner and my beer. So when we arrived no one greeted us, or asked if we wanted menus. We had to flag down another waitress to order just a few beers and eventually when our waitress came around she still didn't bring menus, our menu came from a bar back.
I've been sitting here 10 mins, waiting for my grilled cheese after eating my tomato soup which was alright it tasted like an open jar of pasta sauce. I haven't seen my waitress she hasn't bothered to check in on me and at least 4 times I have seen her standing at the POS not even bothering to check in on me. She's made an effort to check in on the other two tables around me but is ignoring my table.
The two stars are for the atmosphere, the decent beer prices and for the fact that they have a pretty decent beer menu.
I'm pretty disappointed in service, despite the fact it's a busy Wednesday night most folks are seated at the bar or over on the far side of the bar for the pitch event.
Very very disappointed.
Waitress finally checked in on me to ask if I wanted another beer, but apparently had only heard 2 tomato soups when we told her tomato soup and grilled cheese. Instead of her confirming before walking away, she just went off without checking with me about the food.
Absolutely abysmal service and absolutely sad that this would happen.
Wednesday night, wanted a sports bar to watch the NBA playoffs with some decent food to boot. Dalton was closeby and seemed to fit the bill nicely.
Not too crowded, so I sat at the bar with a good view of the match. After a little bit, got the menu, and ordered the Cheesesteak ($16) and a beer ($8). At the price point, was hoping the cheesesteak was going to be pretty good – unfortunately the meat was extra salty and very dry, and the bread-to-meat ratio was unfavorable. Sweet potato fries were fine. Beer selection is your regular fare.
Could get over the food, but the service was lacking. One guy manning the entire bar while the server ladies were chilling since no one was sitting on the tables late at night. This made getting the check, food, and general service much slower than it should have been. I guess the bar is fine if you're just getting a quick drink – just not for me.
