1 – A ton of flat screen TVs.”

Fun ! Sports Bar! They have hundreds of TVs and the place is simply very big. I was there with a big group of people and there was a lot of commotion. They ID you when you walk in. the bouncer was well dressed and was really nice to me even the second time I walked in he remembered me and didn't ask for ID. The place got really packed partially because the college basketball game was going on and it was a Saturday night.
I ordered a French Onion burger it came with fries and a pickle. The BUrGeR was DELICIOUS. It came with an onion dipping sauce & side of ketchup. The sauce went well with the burger and the nicely cut and crispy fries. Their best food are the burgers.
The service was ok. Maybe a C+. I wasnt surprised because they were just swamped with people and orders. You have to keep an out for the waitress to get your orders in. Be sure to order large amounts at one time otherwise you'll wait a bit to put in your following order. Getting through the crowd is mayhem. However everyone seemed to be in great spirits and will nicely try to let you get through. The music was awesome. They played it during the commercial breaks. Hiphop and top 40! They had cider beers (Downers) which was tasty! Great experience overall!
Fun sports bar there's always a large crowd for big games and you have to call ahead to book a table. The service at the bar is slow but the atmosphere of the bar during game time makes it fun to go to. The food is very good but kind of pricey.
Obviously had their insta famous Mac and cheese burger. Bun. Mac and cheese. Cheese. Patty. Fried Mac and cheese. Bun. In that order. It was good, but I wasn't blown away. The Mac and cheese was kind of bland and I think the burger would have been better without the fried Mac and cheese. But that's just me. Delicious, but wouldn't get it again
This place is huge for an NYC Bar… I felt like they were trying to be more upscale but it wasn't too over the top.. They have high top tables and benches along the walls w a small lip (big enough for a plate tho) you also don't need reservations for those seats, so if you see them, snag them! They have a smaller lounge area in the back of the bar with comfy chairs (this is where they're trying to be more upscale).
We stumbled in here after il bastardo and were luckily able to grab those bench spots in the back against the wall which was fine .. Had some wings and drinks, it was a good time.. It started to get packed in here! We came in around 530 mahbe and it was almost busting at the seams about an hour later.. I would have liked to get more food but we didn't want to miss our train.. I like the vibe and openness of this place.. It wasn't so congested like most of the gastropubs/bars you would usually visit… I would come back here…
Also, there is a lot of tvs in this place so coming here for games is prob optimal.
Pretty standard millennial bar that approaches (or is trying to approach) a mildly swanky status. Large space and nice/refined/chill atmosphere.
Qualms include a 50ft bar with only two bartenders (who aren't very nice) creating slow service, along with drinks above market price ($10 beer, ~$15 cocktail).
Nice place, just isn't anything special for the price and service.
I don't know. Sure, there are tons of screens to watch just about any game, but… Too impersonal. No character. Feels like a supply chain of televised sports. I'd rather go to a dive bar for the grit & passion.
-First Impression- Very pleasing to the eye! Wooden walls and chandeliers. Big screen TVs through out, a nice big bar. And the front doors are beautiful!
-Food- This is where the stars come off… I ordered the buffalo chicken tacos, which come three per order, and requested the bleu cheese on the side (I like to control the amount of sauce haha). Firstly, there was not much chicken in the tacos. They were mostly filled with garnish, and empty space. The shredded chicken was very dry, even with the buffalo sauce on it, and even after I added the bleu cheese sauce. The tortillas used for the shell were very bland, and it was overall not very good.
-Service- The hostess, Monique, was great. We arrived here around 12pm, and she kindly advised us that there were a lot of reservations so we would "only" have the table until 4 which was MORE than enough time! Our server was very kind as well. She kept the drinks flowing the whole time.
-Price- Overpriced in my opinion based mostly on the amount of food and partially on the quality/taste
-Did Not Like- The chicken was so dry 🙁
-Recommended?- I'll pass
Came here for an event on a Friday late night. The prices are reasonable, the space is large, and the bartenders are nice. I loved the Long Island iced tea and Moscow mule that I had!
Recommend for a night out with friends that's a little nicer than the average divey sports bar.
