Bravest
“The happy hour is great – they have different specials every night of the week – 75 cent wing night has become a favorite.”
“The place was a little more jovial, bright, and warm than I was looking for, but all in all a pretty good dive bar.”
“Cheap beers, good company, hole in the wall feel is the best for a chill night or late night shots.”

Like the country song that so seemingly fits Bravest, "I love this bar" should be their motto. Bravest has many great qualities of a local watering hole with a small town feel, located on Second Avenue.
*Completely Without Pretense
Bravest is no frills all the way. It's super casual where people can come to just be themselves. Don't come here on a non-Tinder first date.
*Great Happy Hour
Regular prices at Bravest are on the low end but their happy hour prices are even lower. Couple three bucks for beers and well, like your upstate college alma mata
*Bar Food and Table Service
Their food and pretty good! Not healthy by any means, but tasty for sure. Nachos, tater tots wings etc, coupled with a wide variety of beer. That's my kind of Thursday night dinner, right there.
Great spot!
Came on a Fri night for another nba finals game. Waitress service was significantly improved however the AC was not on and it was hot in there.
I've eaten here twice now because it's close to work. The first time I came in I had a really good experience with the staff. They were so friendly and greeted me right away asking if I needed something to drink while I waited for my to-go order and suggesting a dish. The caesar salad I ordered tasted fine but it was basically just lettuce tossed in dressing underneath grilled chicken. The chicken was pretty warm when it was placed on top, which made for a half warm/half room temperature salad. The second time I came here, the bartender wasn't as engaged and it took 3/4 of my lunch break to order my food and get it back in time to eat. It was probably 25-30 minutes wait for a chicken sandwich and some fries. The fries were cold and the spicy chicken sandwich was not tasty. I would go here for drinks if they have a good happy hour or something, but other than that I probably won't be back for food, especially during lunchtime.
A no-frills, no-nonsense sports bar in the Murray Hills neighborhood.
We stopped by for a fourth meal and some drinks since we were in the area. We'd walked past this place a couple of times, but were directed back thanks to our fellow Yelpers. At 8PM on a Wednesday night, the bar area was much fuller than the dining area, which was fine for us since we wanted a table.
The menu is typical bar fare. We ended up splitting the 'Bravest' burger because we wanted something a little more special than just a regular ol' beef patty but not too fancy either. With just a few extra toppings (mozzarella, carmelized onions, and mushrooms), the Bravest fit the bill. The bun was drier than I would have liked and the fries were a bit soggy (and we had mostly end bits), but I still ended up eating everything anyway. Noms. I also ordered a Kentucky Mule, which turned out to be light and refreshing!
Three stars for the food, and one additional star for the service. Our server was super sweet and personable. She definitely made our visit extra enjoyable!
PS. Whoever made the executive decision to leave butcher paper and crayons out on the table in a bar (for the adults, I'm assuming) is a genius! Tic-tac-toe anyone?
I have only come here 2 or 3 times for lunch, and never disappointed. The burgers are awesome, the pork sliders with chili sauce delicious, turkey club sandwich good & moist,n french fries – tasty, plenty of beer to chooses from, the staff friendly and attentive. My favorite thing: the chili is ALMOST as good as my husband's which I consider the best in the world… and my least fave: they are always out of something on the specials board that I happen to be craving at the moment. This most recent visit: Apple Pie. aarrghh !
Bravest is a great neighborhood bar. We came on a Monday night during happy hour, and got to take advantage of the 25cent wing special. While it took awhile for them to come out, the wings were delicious! The bartenders are nice and attentive. They have $4 happy hour draft specials on Mondays — a great deal for the area. Need to come back for taco Tuesday!
What I had: Stout and Cheese Fries
Would I go back?: Yes – very good craft beer selection for very cheap by city standards
Story: Came here with friends to watch a sporting game of sorts. There was a large group of us and since this was a tad off the beaten path meaning past Lexington ave it wasnt very crowded which i appreciated because we were able to grab a large table. I got a Left Hand Milk Stout for $3 (unheard of) and me and my friend shared some delicious standard pub cheese fries. Overall good experience and you cant beat the price.
I've been wanting to try this place out for years, but as it's in one of those neighborhoods I never visited it's been collecting dust on my bookmarks since 2011. But I finally got my chance late one recent Friday evening and now I wanna come back ALL THE TIME.
Some friends and I arrived around 11 p.m. hungry, in need of AC and down for a beer or two. All our needs were met immediately, as we got some cheap brews and apps from a super friendly waitress.
Beers are well-priced, apps were tasty, and I'm gonna need to come back for that crack sandwich. The best part about this place though…was the night pie.
What is night pie, you ask? Let me explain. According to our sweet server, the owner is an astounding baker and cooks up some treats for the menu every once in awhile. We were fortunate enough to score a few slices of pie (coconut custard and chocolate pecan) on this particular day…and every bite was a-maz-ing. Let me tell you, there are few better things than eating a $5 slice of pie with a cheap beer at midnight.
The music/ambience are great as well, and if I am forced into this area again I'll just simply stay put at Bravest.
