Owner and bartenders are everything that is RIGHT with neighborhood bars. Engaging, attentive & lighthearted. Great neighborhood spot. Belly up to the bar & have good times.- DoubleDeuceMay 22, 2015Love the ribs yet it is disappointing that the sides are minimal serving sizes. It's weird that it feels like a dive bar with dive-bar-bargain drink specials but the BBQ food is quite good.
Brad KleinMarch 18, 2016Cute place, popping bar (st patty's Thursday, lol), lots of flair. Solid UES squad meetup spot. Regulars say bartenders are dolls (& guys) too
Valerie SMarch 5, 2016Southern, divey bar. Great happy hour specials ($4 drinks!) and laidback atmosphere.
Beka CSeptember 8, 2013To check out the game over a few beers. Good food, recommend nachos. And Mike is the hardest working bartender you'll meet- dubbing him bar genius.
Good cheap bar in a neighborhood that is overall pretty pricey. They have daily specials, mediocre food, and frozen margaritas that are hit-and-miss in quality.
Great $5 frozen margaritas. They're small but they pack a punch.
Leave a good tip for Mike. He's a great bartender. Oh and order the wings!
Adrianne BenzionMarch 17, 2013Dogfish 60 min IPA only $5. Plus peanuts, games, live music = WINNING.
Mike CheckDecember 28, 2011Don't let the name deceive you. Good BBQ and great selection of draft beer.
Watering down the liquor is a capital offense. Honky Tonk has been found GUILTY.
$4 traditional frozen Margaritas... All day, every day!
- This check in is spelt wrong. Please check in at the actual Honky Tonk Tavern.
Baby back ribs are to die for. No shit!!! Look at those puppies
Patricia ChaoFebruary 23, 2013Bitch red hair waitress (aka manager according to her) is racist. Assumed we were drunk when we weren't. Messed up.

Honky Tonk Tavern, a true taste of the South in New York. We have a mouth watering selection of comfort food, Tex-Mex and Cajun favourites that are sure to hit the spot. Come to Honky Tonk for a hootin' tootin' good time!

"The new space is wonderful, though a bit of a challenge due to it's enormity. It's likely to be a great spot for any Big Sportsball Match. A great space if you have a huge group."

"Went here thinking it would be a bad experience. Had a great laugh. Variety of comedians cater for all, when I went at least. Drinks a little pricey but most people are aware of this"
