    The roof top is fun, even though it was raining. Prices arent ridiculous given the location. Drinks were good. Food was too. Meatballs were great. A fine place to grab lunch before a show at MSG.

    The Girl at the door was so welcoming.She stayed super friendly and helpful throughout our visit, checking on us and others even though it was really busy. The dink’s it was very good. Great place and awesomely visited. Parking is not easy. Nearby the Postal Office and the Penn Station , many chance the traveling far or the closer....

    You are not going to get a better place to wait for your Train at Moynihan Train station or your Flixbus when Amtrak cancels on you. The servers are kind and helpful. Food is good. Sliders and truffle fries are great! Rooftop is perfect in a pandemic. You can literally see the train station from your seat. They were doing a Corona promotion - free beer and water bottles. It’s a cool low key place to relax.

    I would never expect something like this place in the middle of Manhattan. And not to mentione right across Penn Station. The place does not look anything special from outside but they have beer garden in the back and roof top. When you get there you literally feel like you walked through some kind of portal and ended up.in some other place. Food is good and drinks are not overpriced. I would definitely recommend this place.

  • Review 5 (2019-10-09 - Rating: 4)

    Nice view of Madison Square garden at night if you’re on the rooftop. I hate to say pricey, because it’s NYC, and that’s expected. The nachos were good for 2 people to share. We visited on a Tuesday night, so it wasn’t very busy.

  • Review 6 (2019-05-18 - Rating: 5)

    Great place. Spent some time there before catching our flight home. Nice voew, drinks were not too expensive. Lovely place. Gives you a chance to order mystery beer cheaper but it seems like its always Budweiser.

  • Review 7 (2021-07-06 - Rating: 4)

    Right across the street from MSG and Penn Station. Nice Cocktail selection, draft beer selection is pretty limited. The sliders are really delicious and I bet the burgers would be too.

  • Review 8 (2022-08-31 - Rating: 5)

    Great location, right next to Penn Station. Set your expectations on the food quality, this is a touristy area. Servers make up for it!

  • Review 9 (2019-12-14 - Rating: 5)

    The food and service were good. We didnt have to sit and wait for anything. The servers were constantly checking up on us to be sure we didnt need anything. I feel the prices were decent.

  • Review 10 (2019-04-10 - Rating: 5)

    Great little bar beside Penn station. They have a little roof top bar with great music. Highly recommend it when the sun is out.

  • Review 11 (2022-09-01 - Rating: 5)

    Came here after work and was not disappointed. The cocktails the food, the view.

  • Review 12 (2022-08-28 - Rating: 5)

    We were headed to a concert, not sure where to eat. We got out of the parking garage, walked across the street and in the door, sat down. Service was great (and it was PACKED.) The food was tasty, beer was cold and everyone was real nice and friendly. The place was comfortable and...when we were done we were right across the street from the show! We sat inside but I believe there is an upstairs/patio as well that we never even got to. I am glad we stopped in and would go back again! Our waitress Valeria was great!

  • Review 13 (2019-08-07 - Rating: 5)

    The most manic,vibrant,craziest place ive ever been,loads to see and do.

  • Review 14 (2021-05-29 - Rating: 4)

    Nice place. The food took too much time. The nachos with the spinach and artichoke dip was really good.

  • Review 15 (2022-09-01 - Rating: 5)

    This review is for a late night visit on a Thursday. Moderate crowd, but seating available.Great place for drinks and good bar food. We visited after a concert at Madison Square Garden. Very clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

  • Review 16 (2021-07-31 - Rating: 5)

    Perfect location with views of the Empire State Building from the rooftop. By Penn station and Madison Square Garden. One of my favorite places in the city.The food is pretty decent, taste delicious, drinks are great and you can ask for your own cocktail mix. It’s a busy place but it’s worth it. They keep the bathrooms clean. The staff is amazing as well!

  • Review 17 (2021-08-15 - Rating: 4)

    Great food, service, staff, and great location right next to Madison Square Garden. The menu has a nice selection of salads, burgers, and sandwiches. I had the grilled chicken sandwich and it was really good. Overall the service was good as our waiter ensured that our orders were taken correctly, and arrived on time

  • Review 18 (2023-06-13 - Rating: 5)

    Beautiful view right in front of Madison Square garden. Delicious drinks and the have happy hrs and you can sit on the terrace. Perfect place for a drink before a show

  • Review 19 (2019-03-16 - Rating: 4)

    The bartender was great. She made a perfect martini. Decided to order to go as we were staying a block away. Took forever to get 2 steak sandwiches. Bar tender was gracious though. Finally got back to our room with the food an hour later and one was wrong. Ordered one plain and one with everything. Got 2 plain. However, the quality of the steak made up for the lack of fixings. Id go back for sure. And, as if the laws of science were suspended momentarily, the take out fries remained hot AND crispy. I have no idea how they accomplish this, but its awesome. Atmosphere is super cozy and friendly.

  • Review 20 (2019-06-08 - Rating: 5)

    Steak Sandwich! Had amazing breaded wings as an appetizer as well. Service and food were immaculate!

  • Review 21 (2021-09-30 - Rating: 5)

    Really enjoyed my pit stop here for lunch. Had the chicken sandwich w fries. Exceeded my expectations. They have a rooftop “beer garden” which, on a sunny day, is a great place to hang while you wait for your train. Construction on the street makes it a little unsightly but that is just what it is.

  • Review 22 (2015-12-12 - Rating: 4)

    I see some others have had some issues with the service. I stopped here for a drink with friends and to enjoy the rooftop bar. Really nice spot and the service was fine. Beer selection was a notch above average with bottles of 60 minute IPA and Matilda from Goose Island and others.

  • Review 23 (2022-11-20 - Rating: 5)

    We are visiting New York from England, and we have visited this place twice as the happy hour deals, food and atmosphere are fantastic. Great choice on the menu for food (including an amazing veggie burger) and drinks (cocktails, wine, beers & gin and tonic!). Would highly recommend a visit here- especially during happy hour!

  • Review 24 (2016-09-04 - Rating: 4)

    Great spot for drinks after work. Nice staff and very professional bartenders. Impressive selection of beers. The food was good. Theres a rooftop with a nice view, me and my friends hung out for like 3 hours, it was great.

  • Review 25 (2019-11-20 - Rating: 4)

    Nice location for a drink with friends before or after an event nearby. The goat cheese salad was very tasty! The bar staff is friendly and fast. I’d recommend sitting at the bar if you are pressed for time. Although there are tables, the waitstaff seems limited.

  • Review 26 (2021-07-03 - Rating: 5)

    When entered the place felt warm. We went upstairs veces the air was moving, Happy hour

  • Review 27 (2020-02-21 - Rating: 5)

    Great food, friendly staff and good service. I love their selection of craft beers, on-tap beers and cocktails. The outdoor area is good, with views of the always busy Penn Station and Madison Square Garden. Always a good place to go for bar food and drinks with friends!

  • Review 28 (2023-08-08 - Rating: 5)

    Honestly the location for MSG concerts in summer/nice weather couldn’t be beat. Two big outdoor areas, one on the roof and one out behind in a courtyard.Popcorn chicken was great. Drinks cold, reasonable and easy to procure. Milton, our server, was quick and willing to go above and beyond.My only critique would be improved bathrooms. Not ideal. But also not unusable.

  • Review 29 (2022-10-14 - Rating: 4)

    Fun little place good strong drinks and food was pretty good too. I stopped here and went to the rooftop and got good view of the area as i waited for a concert to start, good atmosphere enjoyed my visit.

  • Review 30 (2021-04-16 - Rating: 4)

    Cool outside terrace serving chill vibes. Average pub fare. My favorites were the pigs in a blanket, truffle fries, and artichoke dip. Friendly service. They also offer a beer garden next door in Penn Plazas courtyard during warmer weather!

  • Review 31 (2018-05-18 - Rating: 5)

    Nice location right on 34th street literally across the street from Madison square garden. The drinks were perfect and the service superb. The food wasnt bad but its definitely just a bar place mostly finger foods, burgers, and house salads. I sat on their outside roof top seating nice and clean not too much shading so be prepared for a tan lol. Ultimately if you looking for some good drinks relatively cheap and to catch a game this is a great place to be.

  • Review 32 (2021-06-11 - Rating: 4)

    We went for a happy hour after work with a big group. Good selection of drinks. Outdoor space to hangout and so close to Penn station. Had a great time! Will definitely go again.

  • Review 33 (2021-09-08 - Rating: 5)

    A fun and lighthearted place to hang out for a bit. Great if you are waiting for a train or an event at Madison square garden. Though I imagine it might get crowded after an event, it was not crowded at happy hour.

  • Review 34 (2018-09-04 - Rating: 4)

    This is my 2nd time here and both times have been great. I have eaten on the rooftop and downstairs. Food is good and so is the service.

  • Review 35 (2021-11-27 - Rating: 5)

    Eat outside upstairs in front of the Madison Square garden at the bar, cannot be beat in 50 degree weather.

  • Review 36 (2023-06-01 - Rating: 5)

    Patio upstairs is fun . Good drinks. Great vibe and views .

  • Review 37 (2019-06-05 - Rating: 5)

    I love NY City, The energy the traffic the people to take pictures on the sidewalk of anything and everything I can it just is all marvelous its great its New York City its where everybody should come it humbles you and as Henry Miller said its ugly.

  • Review 38 (2019-05-09 - Rating: 5)

    Next to Penn station is this square with a stretch of artificial grass and some tables to sit down in the sun. You can get beers at the outdoors bar. We didnt eat there, but there are options for food too (simple comfort food). In the sun this was an enjoyable experience.

  • Review 39 (2021-04-05 - Rating: 5)

    So fun ! Best kept secret.. 10+ years in the city I never heard of them. Loved the roof top seating & didnt expect food this good in a bar

  • Review 40 (2017-02-25 - Rating: 5)

    Love this place... Highly convenient for commuters and the bar hostesses are really amazing people. Been a regular patron for years and have had nothing but the best times.. definitely recommend for group events cause they really take care of you here

  • Review 41 (2019-12-27 - Rating: 4)

    This is a really good option right across from the garden. The bartender was really nice and the prices are good. Food is decent and drinks are strong. Its actually kind of a surprise that it exists right across from the garden. I will go back.

  • Review 45 (2022-09-18 - Rating: 5)

    A really good place to go to, the rooftop bar just beside MSG gave us rest and shade on a hot and crowded day.The staff was so friendly, marvelous, will remember this. ♥️

  • Review 46 (2023-06-13 - Rating: 5)

    Great food and service with a view of Madison Square Garden from the rooftop bar/dining area.

  • Review 47 (2019-06-20 - Rating: 4)

    I work nearby and wanted to check this place out. I went for lunch one day and had the sliders and fries. The sliders were really tasty and I just goobled them up.....My Bloody Mary was amazing! I will definitely come here again to try something else.

  • Review 48 (2022-11-09 - Rating: 5)

    Food was pretty good and the service was excellent even though it was a game night therefore super busy.

  • Review 52 (2018-07-03 - Rating: 5)

    Wow this place was a great stay for me while I attended a youth assembly at the United Nations. I was able to get around due to its good location and I also met some awesome people that I spent a day in New York with!

  • Review 53 (2019-06-11 - Rating: 5)

    Good food, good prices, good deals on drinks and a nice roof top. Smells like horse manure sometimes. Not often but enough to mention

  • Review 54 (2018-12-19 - Rating: 4)

    Ran out of prosciutto, so they made vodka sauce with bacon. Drinks were fine. Sorta pricey for a restaurant thats nothing to write home about.

  • Review 55 (2019-07-10 - Rating: 4)

    I LOVE THE ATMOSPHERE. THE PRICES ARE REASONABLE. THE ROOFTOP BAR IS GREAT. I would give it a 5 but the tap beer on the rooftop is only lukewarm.

  • Review 56 (2012-05-30 - Rating: 4)

    A great spot to enjoy rooftop drinks before or after a game, or to sit and watch a game on one of their countless TVs. The French Onion Burger is our go to food here.

  • Review 57 (2022-11-24 - Rating: 5)

    Honestly some of the best nachos I’ve ever had. Great place for a happy hour and good service.

  • Review 58 (2018-06-30 - Rating: 5)

    My wife and I love the rooftop seating at this restaurant. It holds a special place for us because we first met in NYC 5 years ago and we just got married yesterday so we went to Local to celebrate after walking spring Central Park at sunset.The rooftop section was very busy as expected BUT what was not expected was the incredibly speedy service we received. Our servers were fantastic. The drinks tasted great - thanks for making my wife’s motto just strong enough :)We also had the buffalo chicken dip and bacon horseradish sliders. The dip was delicious. The sliders were good too but wouldn’t necessarily order them again since they were small also

    Could only order cider inside but that by far is my only complaint. Staff were kind, quick and kept me hydrated. The patio is so relaxing and great for people watching.

    Not the fanciest food Ive ever had, but they were super friendly and tried really hard to make sure I enjoyed my dinner and my time at their restaurant. The location is convenient. And you can order on their app directly from your table in case its super busy and your server doesnt have time to visit you. My server was very nice and my chicken sandwich was good. I would go back
