    Super nice and relatively inexpensive cocktails! cucumber basil gimlet was a personal favorite

  • Review 2 (2022-11-05 - Rating: 5)

    Nice bar with great ambience and options for both indoor and outdoor seating. i came here once during and once after happy hour and either way, prices were pretty standard / affordable.i definitely recommend the espresso martini and aperol spritz cocktails. the espresso martini was bold and strong and tasted great, and the aperol spritz was light and incredibly refreshing.i also tried their cucumber gin which was refreshing too but i didnt like it as much, and a red wine happy hour special.

    Sutton Bar Room, formerly known as Sin Bin, is a gem in the heart of the neighborhood, radiating a welcoming vibe that resonates with its patrons.Since its inception, and especially after Nick took over, this pub has transformed into a local favorite.I have been coming to this pub with friends, family, or, most commonly, coworkers.Every visit to Sutton Bar Room feels like coming home. The familiar, cozy atmosphere paired with exceptional staff hard to find elsewhere.In conclusion, Sutton Bar Room isnt just a bar; its a home where memories are made, be they after 1 drink or 10. Its the kind of place you keep returning to... I still do even after moving out of the neighborhood a few year ago.

  • Review 4 (2021-11-23 - Rating: 4)

    The price is pretty cheap, and the bartender himself is nice.The old fashioned here is good, but I would recommend the draft beers and IPA here, which is special and refreshing.However, there are too many people in the bar with only one person to handle all of the works, which makes it rather difficult to order drinks and makes us a little lost (end of October)Still a recommended bar here at midtown east!

  • Review 5 (2024-03-21 - Rating: 5)

    This is hands down the BEST bar in the area for young people. The after work drink culture is crazy active here. I’ve seen book clubs, birthdays, trivia night teams, regulars, and irregulars alike meet random strangers here every time I visit. Feels like a real community and a great vibe. Plus the drinks are CHEAP and the happy hour goes late.

    Best spicy Margarita ever! Great bar, lovely locals and staff.

    A true local bar kinda spot. Lots of regulars are here for a reason. Super friendly bartenders, great drinks, and the prices / happy hour / specials are so much better than anything else in the area. A gem in this neighborhood!

  • Review 9 (2024-09-24 - Rating: 5)

    This place was pretty chill. Small but not too crowded on a Tuesday, prices were fine, service was friendly. Id come back any time Im in the neighborhood.

  • Review 10 (2021-10-15 - Rating: 5)

    Stopped in on a whim and so glad we did! Dark and cozy, and the drinks were delicious. The bartender with the long red hair and glasses was wonderful and even turned on the AC for me as I was having a hot flash, which was much appreciated. The decor is unique and warranted photos. Would love to return next time we are in NYC.

  • Review 11 (2024-04-10 - Rating: 5)

    Was in here a few days ago and cant get over how great the bartender was - a blonde woman named Maeve. Seriously she made the night for me and my friends!

  • Review 15 (2019-02-04 - Rating: 5)

    Best bar in Sutton Place. We’ve been regulars here for about two years and have watched the place open and grow. They treat everyone with respect and have created an exceptional environment for newcomers and regulars. We visit about once a week. Highly recommended.

  • Review 16 (2024-10-24 - Rating: 5)

    Great local, bartenders are always warm and lovely.

  • Review 17 (2018-05-29 - Rating: 5)

    Great place to have a drink. The vibe is just right. The ambience is nice. They play great music. The bartenders are top notch. I would definitely recommend it. They dont have food but you could order in food here or you could have chips if you get the munchies:)

  • Review 18 (2023-02-28 - Rating: 5)

    A favorite spot in the neighborhood. Local crowd, cozy space, nice bartenders, lots of happy hour-priced times throughout the week, and all of the cute neighborhood dogs are there!

    Great bar, nice and cozy vibe, drinks were affordable and bartender was friendly and helpful. I gotta go back for the happy hour

  • Review 20 (2021-11-09 - Rating: 5)

    Swoopy haired bartender allegedly named Brian provided one of the most fun nights I’ve ever had in the city! Great drinks! Great music playlist! Amazing foliage!

  • Review 21 (2018-01-03 - Rating: 4)

    Great little bar that has a small but solid selection of beers on tap. I went on a Monday so it was nice and quiet with plenty of seats at the bar. I will happily go back if I am in that area with time to kill again.

  • Review 22 (2023-01-15 - Rating: 5)

    Only bar in sutton place that I’ll drink at. Cool vibe, Comfortable and the staff and owner go out of their way to make sure you have a great night. I highly recommend it.

  • Review 25 (2020-10-11 - Rating: 4)

    Local pub that pre-pandemic didnt have food, but now have hotdogs and chili dogs in toasty buns! Small cheap food menu, plus good beer and wine selection (yeah draft beer!). At least 3 and sometimes 5 TVs outside for sports. Plexi dividers between tables, QR code menus. Friendly guys who serve (masked). Great hang for sports, even if you are sitting in the middle of 1st Ave.

    I planned an engagement party at Sutton Bar Room. The staff was beyond helpful and went above and beyond to make sure our event was fantastic. Nicholas, the bar manager, was responsive and considerate. Their rate for an open bar is far more reasonable than other options and their service is top notch. I highly recommend Sutton Bar Room for your next event!

  • Review 53 (2022-07-16 - Rating: 5)

    Great little bar! Have always enjoyed coming here since moving into the neighborhood a few years ago. Nick, Red, Brian, and Danny are the best bartenders in town. Highly recommend a stop at SBR!

    Unquestionably the place to be in Sutton place. Bartenders make or break a place and Sutton Bar Room has fantastic ones. Always a good energy, honestly priced drinks and an old school neighborhood feel that you’re looking for.

  • Review 60 (2017-06-23 - Rating: 5)

    No complaints about this small neighborhood bar with tons of charm. Sit in the big open-front (weather permitting) seating area, or the cozy tables at the back. Just noisy enough to feel lively, but not to stifle conversation. Nice cocktail selection, and decent beers. Trivia night, plus they let you get food deliveries as theres no kitchen on premises.

  • Review 77 (2019-11-16 - Rating: 4)

    I went here for a happy hour with coworkers. Im not a drinker by any means but the price of the drinks (4 dollars for beer ten for mixed drinks) made it tolerable. Be warned it gets super crowded on Fridays, there was barely enough room to turn around. Its also pretty far from the near train which is a factor if its cold and you dont feel like taking an Uber.

    A very nice quaint bar with pretty decor. Great and friendly service. A comfortable place to be, especially when the windows are open.

  • Review 91 (2014-12-02 - Rating: 4)

    The only reason this is 4/5 stars is because there is no food. Great bar, great to unwind and quiet when you want it to be. Easily can set up a spot in the back and have a few beers to unwind after work or whatever without worrying about your wallet being empty afterwards. The bartender is great friendly enough but not overly talkative. Solid bar for a wednesday/thursday
