    Solid option for people waiting for the airport shuttle. The times change regularly (currently the bus is on the hour) and if you get caught out this is a convenient and friendly place to have a quick pint. The space is huge and normally has free seats. Its a mix of travellers and some local business folk. Bar staff a pleasant, prices are standard for midtown NYC (~$8 for reasonable IPA).

    Nice calm environment. Went there with a group of 20 or so and we had a nice time in the dance floor

  • Review 3 (2019-02-23 - Rating: 5)

    A fantastic sports bar near Grand Central serving beers and pub-style fare to an after-work crowd. This joint has a large space and caters to a sports atmosphere, but also has an upscale vibe to it with great music. They have a decent selection of whiskeys and the bartenders are very friendly willing to help you with your drinks selection. The prices are moderate to high, especially on the whiskey selections. If youre in midtown east area, then definitely check this place out.

    Good place that has special promotions where you can win a happy hour for yourself and some friends. The ceiling are pretty high which makes the bar feel spacious and not too crowded and they do serve bar food if youre hungry. Its pretty tough to get a table though if you didnt get there first as people with a table tend to sit there for a while. And if you came there with a big group, itll be difficult to find a nook to stand at without having people bumping into you.

    A fun and spirited sports bar (with the right patrons of course!). The night ended up being more special because someone was generous enough to buy our table (and many others) a bottle of champagne to celebrate their teams victory! We ordered veggie nachos and guac which were fine but nothing to write home about. Service was great and Id trek back to the East side to go there again :)

  • Review 6 (2019-04-22 - Rating: 5)

    Great place to catch a game or party late into the night. The atmosphere is great and staff extremely friendly. Joe the manager treated us very well! Food was quick and delicious. Ths drinks were strong and inexpensive for NYC. Very spacious and located in the heart of the city.

  • Review 7 (2019-01-03 - Rating: 5)

    Often come here for happy hour with work, and always have a great time. Often is packed with after work crowd, good snacks and great cocktails / well drinks. Recommend booking a table/area of several people going just to ensure you get a space.

  • Review 8 (2019-01-09 - Rating: 4)

    Beautiful space, great service and convenient location to Grand Central Station. The fish tacos, wings and pulled pork sandwiches were surprisingly good. It did seem like it could be pretty loud there when its crowded.

  • Review 9 (2018-01-17 - Rating: 4)

    Huge dishes - between 2 (not overly hungry) people, we ordered 3 appetizers and couldnt finish it all - so I highly recommend this method (and the appetizers are frankly much more interesting than the entrees).One complaint though - their background music volume level is off the charts: they turn it all the way up to 12. We were sitting in a booth away from the bar and had to shout to be heard.

  • Review 10 (2018-08-08 - Rating: 5)

    I came here for the first time today on a Wednesday and the floor was busy so I sat at the bar and was recommended by the bartender to have chicken and waffles. I have to say it was one of the best chicken and waffles I had. I also ordered an o’fashioned drink from the cocktail menu and the Loretta the bartender made it so quickly as she was attending to others. I will be back here next week.

  • Review 11 (2019-02-17 - Rating: 5)

    Great vibe and great atmosphere. Staff are very friendly. Food was really good, especially for a bar. TVs are located strategically. Also, very close to Grand Central, so location-wise, its easy to get to. Would recommend it.

  • Review 12 (2018-06-14 - Rating: 4)

    Very noisy but it was good food.

  • Review 13 (2019-09-22 - Rating: 4)

    Went for a Notre Dame game. Very loud, packed, and fun.They have a good ayce/aycd wing special for games (did not partake)DJ was on fire. Played the song September, on the 21st night of september, very fitting, and had a good mix of air horns and tunes for commercial breaks and halftime.Im not a fan of bars that have person in bathroom expecting tips to wash your hands, and this was one of those placesVery patriotic vibe, and 85%+ white people...

    Came for Wine Wednesdays and the service and food was great!

  • Review 15 (2017-09-07 - Rating: 4)

    A fun spacious spot for gathering with friends and watching sports. They have some good happy hour specials and comfort food. You can even host an event in one of the many sections of the bar.

  • Review 16 (2019-08-10 - Rating: 4)

    Happy hour place in midtown. Food is overpriced for the quality/area. Its not great but its big convenient and close to work, and they have TVs for sports. Dont bother if your a tourist or looking for an exciting time.

  • Review 17 (2018-06-17 - Rating: 4)

    Good location, got our drinks quickly. Wasnt crowded on Saturday evening so it was relaxing for us. Will go again if I am in the area

  • Review 18 (2020-11-23 - Rating: 5)

    Nicest staff and great food! Stopped by to watch some football (huge movie size screen set up on side of building outside with lots of TVs around) and am so happy I did. Joey and Marla are beyond accommodating and so nice. Marla even made me my new favorite drink with their own home brewed hot apple cider (it’s delicious!). A great sports bar who goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome (and safe - my drinks came with covers on them and all staff wore gloves and masks at all times). They even brought out a blanket and box for my dog to lay on. Will definitely be going back, thanks for a great experience!

    I have lunch with my daughter who lives in CT once a week at Public House. The service is greater, food is delicious and the atmosphere is both sporty and relaxing. The bar tender is friendly.

  • Review 20 (2019-09-20 - Rating: 5)

    The best Public House around the Grand Central Area. Saturday Night gathering with all kinds of drinks and food.They have big TV screen to watch soccer,baseball,basketball and many more sports.

  • Review 21 (2009-03-19 - Rating: 4)

    I think the place is a bit pricey. they try to be a more upscale bar. its very clean and has nice tvs, but i dont want to pay the prices there. id rather go somewhere else. leave it for all the commuters that go through grand central.

  • Review 22 (2018-12-12 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing food, service with some genuine human interaction, fantastic interior design, and great ambience. Expensive place to eat (I wasn’t paying!), but a special place for special occasions in a very cool location.

  • Review 23 (2017-04-06 - Rating: 4)

    Not busy for lunch, so able to accommodate larger parties. Service was great. Food was ok. Seems to be a strong after-work kind of place.

  • Review 24 (2019-01-13 - Rating: 4)

    Big space. Frat house atmosphere. Was fun! They need to fix the sound system though. It keeps crackling with distortion like someone is running a fingernail on a blackboard.

    The place is pretty nice. The food was solid and drinks were decently priced (certainly given location). But missing some little attention to detail.. I sat at the bar and was never asked how the food was (wanted hot sauce) and drink orders were relatively slow.Ill go back, but little things are missing for a better review.

  • Review 73 (2018-06-12 - Rating: 4)

    If you get in right before lunch, its actually pretty empty. Have been twice, and it was good food and service. Some Appetizers are actually big enough to be a meal... And some prices the same. I think my only complaint was noise. Even basically empty, it was still pretty loud with music. Ill likely go again though, since its convenient.

  • Review 74 (2019-06-05 - Rating: 5)

    I went here for a birthday get together and was surprised big it is. From the outside you cant really tell. It was late night and maybe close to closing hour. The dining area was already packed up but the bar section was still jumping. Still many people there enjoying the music and drinking. Drinks are in the pricey side but strong so you get your moneys worth. The atmosphere was buzzing with talk and laughter. Id say this is a must go and see for yourself and have a good time.

    Ive been here many times and have hosted fundraisers for the past couple of years as well. The fundraiser options they offer are great and the staff is always very responsive when planning.

I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to everyone!

    I usually come here for happy hour with my coworkers. The finger food is very good. I always order the buffalo chicken wings. The drinks are pretty decent. They also host events in the bar by sectioning of the restaurant portion to your guests while evryone else hangs out at the bar. Its a great way to enjoy the event with your group and then trail off to make new friends at the bar.

    Had a decent lunch . We decided to beat the lunch crowd by going to the bar at 11.30am . With the World Cup fever in the rise, we had a great time watching soccer and eating sandwiches. The salad was great :) the waitress that waited on us was kind and gave us a lot of time to chill at the restaurant not try to kick us out :) all in all it as a great sports bar and a brunch spot !!
