I went here for a game watch on a Saturday afternoon and partnered that up with brunch and drinks. I would give Abbey Tavern a 5 for atmosphere which was perfect for a game day. They have a large restaurant and bar area up front with plenty of tables and TVs to watch your games. We were set up in the back room which has TVs and a huge projector screen. I loved their draft beer list that was complete with local brews as well.
My trouble was with the service and food that came out. I ordered my go-to, eggs benedict from the brunch menu. The menu offers up a coffee/juice and beverage of choice with your entree for $14.95 which is a steal. However, there was some confusion with our server and I had to remind her 2 times to bring me my coffee and mimosa after I placed my original order. As for the order itself, I was so bummed to find overcooked poached eggs. These were not the runny eggs I was excited to cut into at all. Since it was such a busy game day and service wasn't being very attentive, I didn't try to send the order back for a second stab at poached eggs. The home fries that came with the order also disappointed because they were really just smaller cut up french fries.
My friends seemed happy with their lunch orders of sandwiches, but overall, I'd say that brunch was lacking. I'd return for drinks but not for food.
We were in to be in the area & between the few places on this block this one called our attention more.
Came in once seated we started with some drinks Yuengling & Pumpkin beer were the choices for the night always enjoy Yuengling good tasting beer the pumpkin beer was good as well.
Main meal I had the Penne ala vodka pretty good nice tasting sauce w prosciutto & mozzarella good portion as well.
My friend had the Chicken avocado club sandwich w fries good sandwich , nice tasting chicken w the avocado, pretty good fries.
The restaurant itself is a good size plenty of seating , lots of TV's to catch the game.
During the games it can get very loud not that big of a deal but can get pretty hard to talk amongst yourself.
Service was good , prices are reasonable we enjoyed our drinks & meal.
Great food! ,nice and cozy place to relax. Sat at a huge booth.wasnt to busy which is how i like. The drinks were a little bit weak,but that could just be me! I would definetly recomend going back for the food.
I admire a location that's able to handle a big event crowd with efficiency and grace. I was here for a big college football game and not only did the staff take the time to wear team stickers and paraphernalia, but they were friendly, prompt and on top of everything when facing a rowdy, drunken crowd.
Tip: Parmesan garlic wings are delicious.
I was meeting my buddy at The Mad Hatter across the street for the Manchester Darby, but the place was so packed and intense that I had to switch to a saner venue when the gf arrived. Luckily this bar was right across the street. I didn't expect too much from Abbey, but it turned out to be a proper Irish pub with animated bar tenders and good food and beer.
The Irish breakfast was just right, and my lady enjoyed the huevos rancheros. They also put the Tottenham game on the telly for us (there was barely a soul when we walked in, and all the TVs were obviously tuned to City-ManU). It was nice being able to actually watch my team, and they kept us well-watered with beer and brunch beverages.
The crowd started picking up for the football games, and while I didn't stay for the whole Jets game, it looks like a good place to do so.
This place was a saving grace; some co-workers and I were escaping a work-sponsored event a few blocks away. Our co-workers were fine, but the food and drinks? Subpar. Abbey Tavern saved us with great food and drinks!
This place is pretty spacious, all of the food and drinks were satisfying. Some co-workers and I split meatloaf sliders, chicken fingers, and chicken wings, and the Angry Orchard was cold and refreshing. We happened upon a Seinfeld Trivia Night, unbeknownst to us. A co-worker may or may not have yelled out "Tavern on the Green!!!!" as an answer, though we weren't a part of the trivia night. Ha!
I don't end up in this part of Manhattan often…or, ever, really…but if I found myself down here again, I'd take comfort in entering Abbey Tavern again. It's a very nice place.
This review is only for the service.
Wow, I've never been to a bar with such friendly servers! I swear, everyone was always smiling and making sure our table was all set. (And not in a excessive, overbearing way).
What a great team they got here!
It's an Irish pub with great beer selection as well as an above average whiskey list. In the summer, they open up the windows, which is nice (and loud, especially when that crazy homeless guy walks by and starts yelling at you). They have TVs all over the place, mostly for soccer and rugby when it's on.
We sat down at a table, and our waitress was a bit aloof though. She had a thick Irish accent, but that doesn't excuse the fact that she was completely perplexed when I asked her if she had a whiskey menu. I ended up going to the bar and ordering myself. Had a nice Bakers on the rocks. Two, actually.
Wasn't too crowded after work, and a lot of empty tables. I imagine it gets busy when there are big games on.
