    The Pony Bar is a go-to spot for our office gatherings, and it never disappoints. They have a solid selection of drinks, so there’s something for everyone. The snacks are great too—definitely try the french fries, they’re a hit! The atmosphere is inviting, with plenty of good seating options inside, making it a comfortable place to relax with a group. All in all, a great spot for team celebrations or just hanging out with friends.

    Fantastic beer selection, excellent food, very attentive staff, and the wonderful ambiance makes it must go to beer bar when visiting NYC. 5 stars all around.

  • Review 3 (2021-08-13 - Rating: 5)

    Top notch. Was quiet when I arrived early but very busy by the time I left. Fran and Sara did an awesome job keeping up with the flow. Tacos were tasty.

  • Review 4 (2024-12-27 - Rating: 5)

    Had a hard time finding a chill bar to hang at with good food. This is definitely the spot

  • Review 5 (2021-09-12 - Rating: 5)

    A cool neighborhood beer house with a relaxed vibe and a staff that hustles. Frani and Sara know how to lock it down as they keep up with conversation and orders.If youre looking to try a wide variety of beers this is your place, but go in without wanting something specific because they rotate them frequently. Also, they have a frozen margarita that is dangerously good. The nachos with pulled pork were the best out of the pretzels and two types of wings, but all delicious.Im from out of town, but I will be back to this spot!

    Beer was great and the food. Reasonable prices and awesome atmosphere in the bar!

    What a fun day at the Pony Bar! Beer selection can’t be beat, food was great!, staff was friendly. Best bar on the East side :)

  • Review 8 (2022-06-13 - Rating: 4)

    The place is called Pony bar but I didnt quite get the theme. The theme seemed to be the bar itself. I got a beer and stood next to a barrel underneath a canoe. They didnt have a seat for me, which I guess was fine. They have a reasonable selection of items on tap and a t-shirt if you drink more than a hundred beers.

  • Review 9 (2021-10-27 - Rating: 5)

    Friendly staff, good food and great beers on tap. It’s a good place to come after work for a beer and small bites.

  • Review 10 (2018-11-25 - Rating: 5)

    Cool beer bar. Good selection of beers along with a variety of food options. Place to just hang out and chat and get drunk with friends. Friendly knowledgeable bar staff

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

    Pony Bar is as solid as you can get in NYC - and I dont say that lightly. Stopped in because it was the perfect spot to watch the NYC Marathon (75th and 1st Ave). So crowded youd have thought it was St. Patricks Day at an Irish pub but we managed to get a table and more. THE CHICKEN WINGS ARE AMAZING! I Love wings and eat them at every bar that serves them. This place has them BIG & JUICY with just the right amount of heat (I like hot but I also want to taste the chicken and I can here). Great selection of craft beers both on tap and in bottles or cans.(I tried 4 of them) Staff was quick and attentive especially given how busy they were. I will totally be back for more! (5 stars for the wings - 4 for atmosphere because I wish it was larger, 5 for service because I cant believe they got to us so quickly given all the people that we there. (including families and runners who came in AFTER they finished.) Great fun!

  • Review 12 (2019-04-06 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic bar. Amazing range of local beers, plus great bar food. Short rib grilled cheese was terrific.

  • Review 13 (2023-07-08 - Rating: 5)

    Highly recommended. This is a neighborhood staple, walking in to find a casual bar with plenty of seating at the bar, along the window, in the center with barrels or along the wall at tables, great for groups, couples and someone alone too. The atmosphere is welcoming, relaxed with a couple of TVS. A huge beer selection, but dont worry a full bar with wine and drinks are served by the very friendly and attentive bartenders. Enjoy the happy hour during the week! A food menu with broad bar bites is available too. So happy to live nearby to this great place. Ill be back!

    Great beer selection!

  • Review 16 (2024-09-02 - Rating: 4)

    Pretty straight-forward pub in a super convenient location. Service was nice and there was a good amount of options. I didnt realize that the two TVs had different options, so be aware of that (only because I wish I had ordered something from the second TV). Prices were super reasonable. And bar seating was nice with tons of options.

  • Review 17 (2024-11-11 - Rating: 4)

    I stopped in for a beer and some food. The menu wasnt very expensive, but what they did have was tasty. They had a good selection of beers and the bartender was attentive and welcoming.

  • Review 18 (2023-03-08 - Rating: 5)

    This is my favorite bar. The staff, drinks, food, and overall vibe is amazing. It’s reasonable pricing for strong drinks and not once did I ever receive less than excellent service. I recommend everyone to this bar and when friends visit, they love make a few stops here. Ask for Courtney if you go!

  • Review 19 (2023-04-26 - Rating: 5)

    No Heineken or Bud Light in sight here. Only good beer from American craft microbreweries. Awesome little place. On Monday happy hour is all night long, which means all draft beer is $7!!

  • Review 20 (2023-11-07 - Rating: 5)

    You must try the cheese puppies they are so tasty and perfect to have with some drinks.

  • Review 21 (2023-05-30 - Rating: 5)

    I was away during the pandemic, but recently moved back to the neighborhood. So glad this place is still around pouring awesome beer! They now have more non-beer drinks, so thats interesting. Happy to see the gumbo is still around and still really yummy.

  • Review 22 (2017-09-13 - Rating: 4)

    General Tzos cauliflower, pigs in a blanket, and the beers were all on point! Bartender was great too!

    Interesting bar. Many types of beer to choose from. There is also a nice food menu and the atmosphere here is quite nice. But, the bartenders dont really flow with the customers. The attitude was quite heavenly. serve and thats it.

    Cool little hangout. I had to see what the founders hangout was all about. Nice beer selection. Pricey, but it’s…New York. 5/21/21

  • Review 27 (2023-11-21 - Rating: 5)

    The Pony Bar was a great spot with great beer, cocktails, and food. Beers were from across the US. The pale ale was light and refreshing and the peach silhouette was the right level of sour. The cocktails were made well. The soft pretzels were nice and warm. Busy but not overwhelming for a Saturday night. The place was clean and the staff were super friendly and helpful! Would go again!

  • Review 28 (2020-09-24 - Rating: 5)

    Great food and service definitely going back soon

  • Review 29 (2024-12-14 - Rating: 5)

    General Tao cauliflower bites were delicious. Drinks were great and the prices are very reasonable.

  • Review 30 (2017-12-26 - Rating: 5)

    Hadnt been here in many years. Happily surprised to see theyve moved on from good craft beer circa-2005 to the good local craft beer of 2017. Prices are on the reasonable to high side for the location. Staff were friendly and unobtrusive. Great place to hang out and grab a beer or some nosh with friends.

  • Review 31 (2023-05-01 - Rating: 5)

    Great bar with great beer. Would recommend to friends and family

  • Review 32 (2020-11-12 - Rating: 5)

    Ive been coming to this bar for years and it truly never disappoints. The bartenders are friendly and easy to talk to, and there are always unique new beers to try. Ive had most of their cocktails by now and theyre all on point. Have been taking full advantage of their takeaway drinks during COVID, too!

  • Review 33 (2022-02-04 - Rating: 5)

    This place has an inexplicable charm and good vibes to it. Kudos to the staff .. they keep it so chill. Friday nights are busy but never overwhelming or overcrowded.The finger food is seriously fresh and delicious. Guacamole has a kick to it .. calamari has this amazing Thai chili sauce. The barrel-style tables add a character to the place. Do visit!!

  • Review 34 (2024-03-15 - Rating: 5)

    Long time favorite beer place. Bring back the clams and sausage please…;)

  • Review 35 (2018-02-28 - Rating: 5)

    Best happy hour! 4:20-5:20 PM on weekdays, 7-8 dollar beers go for $5. Now I cant recommend this for liability reasons, but a smart beer drinker looking for a combination of a fantastic and eclectic beer selection, cool atmosphere without the noise of blaring TVS, chill bartenders, and excellent value might show up at say 4:20, and see if they cant catch catch 3 really nice beers over the course of 59 minutes and 59 seconds, for about $20 (with tip!). Such a smart beer drinker might be quite ripped come say 5:50 PM, since a lot of those beers have high alcohol content to pair with their high flavors, but it just might be worth it...They are one of the few beer bars in city that reliably has a cask on tap. Casks arent everyones pint of Ale, but it does point to how seriously they take their beer.Also, I dont usually sample the food, but the couple of times I have, i have not been disappointed. A little German flavor here, a little extra bacon there... cant go wrong in my book.Pony is the most logical choice if you are looking for good beer, I mean, really really good beer, when you find yourself on the upper east side.

  • Review 36 (2024-04-14 - Rating: 5)

    Great bar. Food and drinks were on point. Service was great. Definitely try the nachos.

  • Review 37 (2022-04-27 - Rating: 5)

    Perfect little bar. Great beers and cocktails on draft, plenty of places to sit, a couple of TVs but they dont overwhelm, music was certainly present but one could definitely talk over it, and the bartender was lovely. Ill be returning!

  • Review 38 (2016-07-19 - Rating: 5)

    If youre looking for Budweiser, look elsewhere. They only have an AWESOME craft beer selection! Sometimes they even get a barrel of something special that the microbrewery is testing out and that youd be hard-pressed to find anywhere else.Not to mention, the food is really good as well. A more upscale bar food menu. I had the pork belly cuban sandwich and it was fantastic!

  • Review 39 (2018-04-26 - Rating: 5)

    Wide variety of beers, not overpriced. Cool, friendly atmosphere. It did get bit loud in there as the evening progressed, though. Other than that - great local place. We love the beer selection.

  • Review 40 (2021-04-13 - Rating: 5)

    Great place to rest your soul and drink away with joyful beers!🍻

  • Review 41 (2016-02-13 - Rating: 5)

    The food is imaginative and the beer selection really great. Be prepared to get your own beers from the bar but everything else makes for a really cool night out. I think they need a velvet curtain over the door though. Sat in middle of bar and it was ass cold every time the door is open. It is -21 outside though. Definitely worth the visit‼️

  • Review 42 (2017-03-20 - Rating: 4)

    I have been here only in the late afternoon, so I cannot attest to the ambiance and service once it gets busier later on at night; but it is a nice pub-like place with a good sized selection of draft beer. The bartenders are always willing to explain what each beer is and to give you a chance to taste an unfamiliar offering that might interest you.

  • Review 43 (2021-03-24 - Rating: 5)

    Its open again! The classic place on the upper east to get craft beers from the best local, and far away breweries. Their food is also solid, and we are big fans of the thai style calamari. Stop by and raise a glass.

  • Review 44 (2017-10-13 - Rating: 5)

    A really great brewpub. Beers selection is amazing, service is nice, ambiance is awesome. Being from Montreal it reminds me of a bar Ive worked at in my city, was a lovely thought while being there chatting with a friend.

  • Review 45 (2019-07-18 - Rating: 5)

    Its a neighborhood beer house with a laid-back atmosphere and friendly staffs. But their selection of beer is totally bold and cutting-edge. For my first visit, the bartender recommended me the DDH IPA from Interboro saying that its his favorite and I liked it very much as well. High-speed wifi, clean toilet, and well-managed hall. Must be run by a person who knows the business.

  • Review 48 (2017-09-28 - Rating: 5)

    One of the best rotating craft beer selections in NYC, and great food up and down the menu. Start up a Pony Bar Passport and drink 100 unique beers to score a Pony Bar shirt. Your heart will jump every time they ring the bell and announce a new beer is available. Youll leave happy, full, and with a stronger heart.

  • Review 49 (2019-08-07 - Rating: 4)

    They have a lot of different craft beers and rotate their selections often. One of the best whiskey sour I have had due to the high quality ingredients they use. The short rib cheese sandwich is also decent.

  • Review 50 (2014-02-24 - Rating: 4)

    Well prepared food, excellent selection of drinks (like, as long as the eye can see list of beers, we are talking). And I mean, how many bars list what is exactly on tap, that night, each night? Thats above and beyond service to the masses, right there. A great addition to the Upper East Side bar scene, to say the least. Nice spacious area for large groups. Gets a bit loud, despite the fact theyre not really playing music in there. Maybe the TVs? I dunno. Great spot to check out and I plan on coaxing my coworkers to go here after work on the weekends from now on.

  • Review 51 (2012-11-28 - Rating: 5)

    The Pony Bar just opened its doors on the Upper East Side not too long ago, and its a nice addition to the neighborhood. They have a great beer selection if youre into tasting exotic craft beers, and the food there is pretty bomb. All in all its one of my top hangout spots when Im out with my buddies.

  • Review 52 (2019-09-27 - Rating: 4)

    This a nice little drinking spot for Friday evening. A bit confusing with the directions because this bar relocated from Hells Kitchen to the Eastside. Alot of good brews on tap including ciders. Bar tender very friendly and helpful with drink selection.

  • Review 53 (2016-10-27 - Rating: 4)

    This dim lit pub has a great selection of beers and a nice set up. You choose where to sit and go to the bar counter to order your food.The lamb sliders, I hear, are great and I know that the sirloin burger is quite tasty. The meat is not too fatty and the choice of coleslaw makes for a perfect combo. There are no French fries ... They serve chips, house made chips.

  • Review 54 (2022-12-18 - Rating: 5)

    The Pony Bar, although a little pricey has a great atmosphere and the bartender was very sweet and attentive. Great place to have a few drinks and catch a game while in the city.

  • Review 55 (2019-06-10 - Rating: 5)

    Nice staff, good beer, good music, not too many TVs (which is a good thing imo!)

  • Review 56 (2015-11-16 - Rating: 5)

    20 rotating taps and 2 cask ales means you wont get bored, and if you dont see anything you like then you wont have to wait too long for something new to go up on the board. Beers are all American, and prices are all the same (currently $7 each), just the size of the glass changes in contrast to the ABV to keep it honest. It makes it easy to split a bill amongst friends. Food is elevated bar fare that ranges from great executions of old familiars (burger, pulled pork, grilled cheese) to some impressive outside the box ideas like the braised lamb sliders and sloppy duck sliders. All ordering is done at the bar, and the food is brought to you. Can get crowded/loud on a Thursday, but otherwise a nice spot to catch up with an old friend and try a new beer.

  • Review 57 (2017-04-14 - Rating: 5)

    Although its in an upscale neighborhood, it doesnt feel that way inside. Of course the decor is relatively new and looks great but the staff are extremely welcoming which is refreshing if you are visiting and not from NYC. Great draft list as well!

  • Review 58 (2016-11-16 - Rating: 4)

    Great selection of craft beers but pricey compared to other craft beer joints like Croxleys. Not a bad crowd when youre looking to get a bite to eat with a beer. Great fried pickles.

    Excellent selection of craft beer. Regular tap takeovers and the unofficial home of Untappd. Dimly lit and comfortable means you could easily burn hours and dollars in here.

  • Review 62 (2014-02-03 - Rating: 4)

    This sports bar was a great selection of beers and ciders, but also the sandwich and the handmade potato chips are worthy the trip to 1 st av. If you want to get a seat you must go early because is normally very crowed.

  • Review 65 (2015-11-12 - Rating: 5)

    This is my go-to place for drinking out if Im in want of craft beer. Their selection rotates frequently, and the variety is stellar (at least, relative to many of the other bars in the UES). I have never ordered food here, so I cant speak to that, but in general, this is an experience to be had.

  • Review 139 (2021-12-01 - Rating: 5)

    After a difficult day of medical tests, my wife and I both decided we deserved a drink and an appetizer. We walked to the corner, not knowing the neighborhood at all and started looking around when we realized we were right in front of a pub called The Pony Bar. The vibe was perfect-a real old time New York bar. The service terrific, the food we had, mostly bar appetizers was delicious. We came as strangers but left as friends. We look forward to going back there soon.

  • Review 160 (2019-03-10 - Rating: 5)

    We were very glad to have stopped into this renowned local beer bar. Atmosphere is top-notch--warm, inviting, and not pretentious at all. Get the chili, it doesnt disappoint! The bartender was knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging; he immediately changed the beer list display when we noted a brewerys state had been misidentified. Look forward to returning next time were in the city.

  • Review 168 (2015-11-13 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic beer selection—one of the best in the city. Always domestic craft beer. You can often find a rare beer on tap, and always something to your liking. This location is larger than the one in Hells Kitchen, and the windows face west so it gets more light. The food is good too—the pulled pork sandwich is awesome. Overall a great bar and a must goto if you like beer.

  • Review 169 (2021-10-16 - Rating: 5)

    Pony Bar is such a treat. While I dearly miss the Hell’s Kitchen location, I’m grateful we still have the UES one.

    Great neighborhood spot. A good mix of professional and young professional crowd. They also boast a large selection of beers. I loved this bar. Atmosphere was very nice, service was good at reasonable prices for Yorkville.I am definer expecting to come back to this joint.

  • Review 171 (2020-02-20 - Rating: 5)

    Nice servers, great selection of unique beers. The wooden floors and bar give the atmosphere more of an upbeat. It gets just filled enough but not to the point that its crowded.
