Stitch Bar & Lounge
“I'm surprised to be writing this about an assuming bar in the Garment District, but they have a great veggie burger!”
“It's close to Penn Station, not an Irish pub or an annoying touristy dump, and so it gets crowded and sometimes unmanageable.”
“Overall, I would go here again, and ORDER THE DAMN SIRLOIN BURGER WITH CURLY FRIES!!!”

I've come here for happy hour and appetizers as it's close to work in Herald square. The drinks are good, they have a wide selection.
The bar staff (behind bar) are nice but the waitresses are not. Last time I was here with a group of coworkers we got drinks at the bar sat down then sat at table, the waitress came over and gave attitude because we did not order from her. We ended up ordering more drinks and appetizers but her service was not friendly. She also would not Let us split the credit cards as there is a minimum of $10 which was understandable but she couldn't been nicer in the way she told us or advised beforehand and ask if we were splitting or putting on one bill.
Next time I will just sit at the bar and not take up a table.
Best buffalo chicken wings in midtown west. This is my second time stopping by for lunch and having the buffalo wings. They make the wings mild, hot and super hot., I suggest the hot unless your looking to drink 5 glasses of water. I usually order my wing with the house salad which is a cool Paleo combo.
Situated in the mass transit neighborhood of Penn Station, Port Authority and all the MTA subways. It's a good central spot for a bar for events and after work. Large area with a long bar with plenty of spots to hang out and good bartender service. Around the sides of the bar you'll have tables and chairs with waitress service.
Nice happy hour prices with beers on tap and large screen TVs throughout to watch the local games. You'll find it heavy in the bridge and tunnel crowd for commuting. Go for the sampler platter which has a nice variety of chicken fingers, wings, quesadillas, and mozzerella sticks. Great for groups and for chilling the day away.
Just a bit nicer than some of the bars in the area. Probably a good spot to hang out after work. I am giving them a break since they have only twelve taps.
But I stopped for a martini which was well made and worth $12.00. Bartender was professional, friendly. I will be back for a cocktail but may go somewhere else if I want a draft.
What I had: Happy hour drinks at the bar – nothing special worth reporting
Would I go back?: Probably not
Story: Came here for a last minute farewell happy hour for someone in upper management. Place wasn't overly crowded but was very noisy simply due to whatever was going on, on stage. Bartenders were not very attentive in the sense that they charged the wrong card for a drink I ordered for me and a friend, and then completely uninterested in rectifying the issue. Nothing necessarily made me want to come back to this place – just seems like another sub-par midtown bar.
Went here for an after party following a holiday party. It was pretty packed by the time we got there, but we managed to snag 2/3 of a table and overspill into some of the seats at the bar. Apologies to the two ladies who were the 1/3 of the table, I'm sure we seemed obnoxious to you. Although really, who goes to a crowded bar at 10pm on a Friday night for a quiet dinner? Anyway.
The server was friendly and adept at handling orders from a large group of people who kept circulating. I only ordered mixed drinks, which were pretty standard and hard to mess up. The place looks really popular with the after-work crowd and people on their way to and from Penn Station. Not a bad place to hang out if you happen to be in the area (which honestly, I wouldn't be if not for this party).
Came back here for lunch and had the wing special. It was 20 wings for $10. I havent had good wings in a while. I was happy to get outside for lunch and was looking forward to it.
It was a small lunch between a coworker and I. We ended up splitting the wings he had 10 hot and i had the 10 mild. Just the right amount of wings for each since we bothhad a small bfast. Definitely hit the spot. I recommend the place for its wings and happy hour prices. The ambiance is great, place is clean and neat.
I'd come back again 🙂
I hesitate to be overly critical of a place, in case my experience was atypical, but I wouldn't even risk trying this joint. I didn't eat here; I met a friend for drinks in mid-January. However, the quality of the food could never compensate for the disgraceful quality of the customer service.
First, I requested a sea breeze with Absolut citron, and I explained that it is Citron vodka with equal parts cranberry and grapefruit juice. I was presented with a virgin cocktail, and was polite in asking for a corrected one. The waitress returned with what appeared to be straight Citron vodka diluted into a glass of water. Whatever it was, it was not what I ordered. Not even close. This is a drink that most experienced bartenders should know how to make, or at least have the presence of mind to reference if they don't. And restaurants in this part of town should only be hiring experienced bartenders.
Finally, I decided to make everyone's life easier and order a cocktail off of the menu. I finished the cocktail, and my waitress, who seemed overwhelmed by the whopping 4 tables she was servicing, copped a major attitude with me when I politely asked for another drink. She threw her hand in the air, and with an exasperated sigh and roll of her eyes, she said "well, what are you drinking?"
I flagged down another waitress and requested the manager, who evidently was not present or otherwise unavailable at the time. There should always be some form of authority available to listen to formal complaints. Always. At the least, someone could have given me the manager's contact info. This waitress happened to be very sweet and sympathized with my frustration, but she stated an inability to help due to being new.
I've worked in kitchens, have a thorough knowledge of cocktails, and have been a server in a diverse array of environments. I'm pretty understanding when it comes to mistakes, slow service, and an overwhelmed server. However, nothing excuses an inability to concoct a sea breeze with Citron, or my server's attitude. I sure hope that nice, new server was a positive influence on the rest of the staff with her professional conduct, or found a better place of employment.
