I've come here on a couple of occasions to get drinks and food with friends and find it to be a convenient and adequate place for after work drinks. The service can be a little spotty as it could be overly busy at certain hours but the space is nice and big with lots of seating all around.
The place offers your typical bar drinks, beers and some specialty cocktails. They also offer a bunch of bar food that is easy to split between big groups. We got loaded fries which was covered in cheese and bacon. Great for drunk munchies. We also split the Bavarian uber pretzel which had a beautiful layer of butter on top. The chicken wings were good as well. We also split the stout burger pizza (large) which actually tasted like a burger. The crust was thin crust and there were plenty of toppings including beef cheddar cheese, lettuce and their special sauce.
Overall, a chill, casual place to get drinks and catch up with some good people.
This is a great spot to come during my lunch hour for so many reasons, the main one being that is literally 200 feet from my office. The staff is so quick knowing that everyone needs to be in and out quickly as to get back to work.
The atmosphere is also great. The restaurant is very large, with two floors each with its own separate bar. My only two real gripes are: 1) the beer list. Its a good size, but not really a lot that I'm crazy about. I end up getting the same beer each time; and 2) the prices, but in Midtown, that's to be expected.
I will absolutely be back. Hmmm, maybe even for lunch tomorrow…..
Another Stout! This one is a block south of Grand Central Station. I've been to the one by MSG quite a few times, but this one is so much more convenient.
The bar area is much bigger here, it's a bit bigger overall, but not huge. The menu is the same and they have a nice beer selection as well as a ton of whiskey. There are also a good number of televisions for all of your sporting needs.
I wanted to try a couple of things, so I grabbed an appetizer and an old favorite. My order of pot stickers were good, a bit too much green onion. The sauce was really good though.
My main lunch course was a bratwurst burger. The sauerkraut, red cabbage and mustard made a delicious sandwich. They've had this on the menu forever and it remains one of my favorite things.
It's a great place for a get together and now there is one closer to where I usually hang out.
dropped by here for lunch. GREAT bar, especially near grand central…after working around here for awhile, i haven't found too many fabulous bars to go to happy hour with/convenient that aren't crazy packed.
meal was alright – got a burger, fries, caesar salad…decent enough food. would probably come here more for the scene at night time, they did have good fries/special sauce.
great service and cool scene. will definitely be inviting people to come with next time..
My idea of this place is based on my experience and knowledge of the Stout near Penn — that it's a Rangers-bar. For me – that's NOT a good thing as I'm a HABS fan! (FYI – I watch the Habs [and any hockey] religiously – read: nightly, afternoonly, etc.). So, when I saw this location pop up near my job, I tread cautiously, despite my interest to have a new sports bar in the area.
I came after work on a Friday for happy hour — a Friday that had both a Rangers game and Habs game. I figured that the former should definitely be playing on the screen, and the latter not likely: I was correct on both. But no matter, the Rangers hysteria was not evident here (maybe because it wasn't the playoffs yet). The crowd was mostly after-work folks.
For some odd reason, they didn't have a happy hour special the day we came. The drinks list is extensive. We had a few beer and ciders. We ordered the potstickers, mac n' cheese, and pretzel. All were good. The service was attentive. But I occasionally got annoyed because I felt like they kept coming over too much to see if our bottles were empty when they weren't.
Overall – can't complain much. This seems to be a safe bar for non-Rangers fans.
I had heard things about Stout… loud/crowded/rowdy things and that is just not my scene. Who would ever want to go to a bar like that? But then we were invited to a vendor's holiday party… and when there's an open bar involved you make the trip to Midtown.
And go figure – I had such a great time!
The party was upstairs so I can't tell you about the main level … but the entire place felt huge. And due to its size the rooms are sooo loud. Sound bouncing off of the wood flooring and wood booths. So loud! But the drinks are strong and well made, so that's good. The food was forgettable* but the staff circulating the party was awesome. Shout-out to Manny, one of the waiters that night, for his excellent service. As soon as we took our coats off he was asking us if we wanted a drink and made sure to check in on us often… we were never without a drink.
Loud crowded bars are still not my thing these days but I'd totally go back for another vendor event for the (free) drinks and great service.
*The hosts of the party had trays of chicken skewers and little mushroom tarts passed around. I imagine if you ordered a legit dinner it'd be pretty good.
Great beer selections! I have to give them that. What they could use is loose the attitude. When you serve someone, you cannot have an ego or a sense of entitlement. As much as it pisses you off, your job is to please the customer, as rude as the customer can be. This was my conversation:
Bartender: How are you doing tonight?
Me: Hi, what is the darkest beer you have?
Bartender: How are you doing tonight?
Me: …Good.
Bartender: Guinness.
Maybe you didn't hear me say "Hi" as the place was loud? Regardless, that just makes you sound like a douchebag and I don't tip douchebags.
Really unimpressed. It's SO DAMN LOUD. Like stressfully and abnormally loud- I came out of there with a sore throat and ringing ears.
Totally obnoxious everything. We also didn't like the bartenders- not all that attentive. Pretentious crowd with the stickiest bar stools and tabletops ever. Is this place really "new"? I'd rather go to any of the number of Irish bars on every corner of this neighborhood. Stout, you've disappointed me to the max. The first time I went there, they had a DJ upstairs and it was even LOUDER than the last time (and I mean LAST IT WILL BE). That first time, I also left about 2 seconds after entering.
Very underwhelmed by the service and hostess. Very overwhelmed by the noise and disgusting bathrooms- for a huge bar, there's not enough bathrooms. You guys are serving beer- have you any idea how many bathroom trips one person's going to make after a couple beers?
Anyway, all in all, I DO NOT RECOMMEND.
