If you have to be in this area of town on a Saturday night, this place is great! The music is amazing, 80's and 90's hits, and the drinks are decent and well priced.

This bar / restaurant makes for a great place to catch a drink, or to sit down for a full meal. Get the duck fat tator tots; they're so good, your friends will be grabbing them off your plate.

Great UGA bar. Maybe even better than being in an Athens bar for game day-- it's all UGA alum who made it in New York but who still love their Saturdays to be full of football and whiskey. #godawgs

A good variety of whiskey and decent food as well. When looking for a different vibe near MSG this is a good option.

Start off with the Lamb Lollipops and the Crab Cake! Those were a huge hit with my friends. All 5 of us also got the Short Rib Sandwich. Great meal!

Tater tots poutine with cheese curds surprisingly worked $14, oyster po boy mini slider sadly did not $6. Good whiskey selection but of course! Classier than you expect for this area.
Tim BackusNovember 15, 2015
Interesting cocktails, a ton of whisky, well-lit, and music at a volume that allows for conversation
Erin McBrideSeptember 20, 2013
Great addition to a neighborhood that doesn't have a strong identity. great food, delicious cocktails, really fun, big space. The whiskey list is ridiculous.
Jason GelmanSeptember 29, 2014
Better than expected food. The duck fat fried tater tots are a standout. Friendly staff. Great place near MSG to catch a game or meet up for a drink.

A sign of what's to come in this up and coming area. Just wait until Hudson Yards is finished! Great place to calm thyself after dealing with the horror of Penn Station.

Great place to watch a UGA game in the fall. It’s almost like being in Athens!
Cesar RazuriSeptember 1, 2013
Lots of TVs to watch Georgia Bulldog games, but get a table or sit near the bar. It can get pretty crowded during game day.
Courtney R.January 9, 2016
Great place to drink before an event at MSG. Big room in the basement and extra bar!
Cindy lauNovember 10, 2014
Extensive whiskey selection, knowledgable staff and phenom food. Duck fat tater tots- end of story.
Kelsey✨January 30, 2023

Really good food & apps! Check out their frozen drink of the day.
Jennifer HNovember 27, 2017
Wings, braised short rib sandwich, brussel sprouts!!

Excellent selection of whiskey! You know you’re in good hands when the drink menu has a table of contents!

Great sliders, super tater tots, good American Whisky selection, rather limited single Malt list

Head here for drinks before a game at MSG. A little less touristy than other midtown spots.
Andrew DollDecember 31, 2014
Great selection of whiskey, but has a kind of "bro-ish" atmosphere. Staff was friendly and helpful!
Monica StangleFebruary 4, 2016
The $18 whiskey flight is great, and the tots are so good (massive serving too)! Plus bomb ass ketchup.
Hailey CrowelOctober 9, 2013
Great vibe and amazing food (particularly for a bar). Definitely the best spot in the area.
Jereme BivinsJanuary 20, 2015

Great times with great people. Huge potential enjoy it. Cheers and thank you.
Rob CavenaghSeptember 27, 2013
Have several choices in mind: the bourbon list is daunting but not quite 100% stocked yet. Fries are good - tots and lamb lollipops are better.
Russell HirschornJanuary 27, 2016
Whiskey list is a monster, so many diff types but on the expensive side. Food was ok, tater tot poutine, fried oysters meh, sliders had big buns, little filling. Service was slow, place is loud
Patrick BaskinMarch 3, 2015
Like a classy sports bar, solid for pre or post MSG events
Andrew LitvakMarch 4, 2015
Great Colorado-style food. The burger and neat bourbon is all you need.
KellyFebruary 5, 2015
As expected, the place was packed with bearded guys. Interesting, strong cocktails.
Christine CamposJanuary 18, 2022
Burgers, ribs, tater tots, ambiance, music, the crowd
Sean SmithFebruary 11, 2018
Extensive whiskey selection. Helpful staff. Usually a bit of a crowd.
Grace LadyecuaMarch 20, 2016
Great for drinks. Dinner experience was ok since I felt rushed. Near MSG so it was very convenient.
Amanda KellyFebruary 10, 2015
Take the virtual tour. It is a great way to check out the ambiance before you go! Read more

Perfect tots. Excellent rye old fashioned. Great service
J BJanuary 28, 2019
Good pub food before a game at MSG. Doesn’t get too busy either
Katerina AnnaDecember 7, 2014
Good cocktails, but the place seems a bit tacky to be a cocktail bar and a bit posh to be a pub
Ryan WarrenderNovember 19, 2015
The name says it all. I recommend the signature cocktail on top.
Michael NataleJanuary 4, 2016
Good mixed drinks. One of the sexiest staffs in NYC.
Bryan OJanuary 7, 2015
I asked for a Ward 8 on the rocks (it's normally served up). It was phenomenal.
Randall HuntSeptember 13, 2013
The soft open was pretty rough. 35 mins for drinks, 1.5 hours for food. Out if just about everything. Need to try again when they've worked out the kinks.
Felix SargentDecember 29, 2014
Far too expensive for what you get. It's $10 for a reasonable pour and they strictly measure everything. Get the happy ending.
PatSeptember 21, 2013
Caught the UGA game upstairs and it was empty. Oyster and shrimp po boy was pretty good.
ClaireOctober 15, 2013
This place is amazing, get the duck fat tatter tots.
lino brescia™March 11, 2017
Nice drink menu. Food was good not exceptional. Short-staffed
Vikram NidamaluriSeptember 9, 2013
New bar with decent food and lots of screens for football!
Julia TitoloNovember 2, 2013
NY Georgia Bar. Come here for barking, winning, and the beautiful people
Chris EvansMay 31, 2015
Great cocktails, although the area is kind of dead.
