Haven’t been in almost 10 years and I was pleasantly surprised. Met some friends for a birthday party and we had fun.All the door men were extremely friendly and cool. Probably won’t be back only because I’m from the lower east side, however if I’m in the neighborhood I’ll definitely be back

Had catering style food (warming trays of appetizers) in the private party room in the basement. Food was alright. Beer prices are nice for NYC. But having a private party bar in the basement with a personal bartender is awesome.Overall cool place.

Jake’s is undoubtedly my favorite bar in NYC. the entire staff, especially the manager Bekim, are so incredible and friendly are the reason why I come back time and time again. Not to mention the deals they offer like every night?? Will come here as long as I live in NYC.

I’ve never met a waitress so fun and engaging as Katie. My friends and I literally came back the next day just to see her. She’s hilarious and super sweet, in addition to just being a wonderful server. She honestly has the personality of a great bartender. Will continue to return for Katie!

Jake’s Dilemma is a classic NYC bar in the upper west side. Great place for happy hour, sports games, and almost always a good time. A local hang with a vibrant crowd.

How can you go wrong with $3 bud light seltzer and a $5 tap beer?It’s your basic neighborhood bar on Amsterdam nothing fancy and always has a crowd drinking, playing pool and foosball.Service was great, the bartender and manager were super friendly. Always a favorite stop when in town.

Pretty reasonably priced spot if you wanna have a beer/drink, nothing fancy

Review 8 (2024-12-31 - Rating: 5)
One of the best neighborhood bars in the UWS. Do yourself a favor and stop by sometime 🍻

Review 9 (2023-03-08 - Rating: 5)
Jake’s Dilemma on the Upper West Side of Manhattan is a fantastic bar for cheap drinks, dancing, and watching sports.And you should also head there with proper expectations. It’s not somewhere you’re gonna order intricate cocktails, have a business meeting, or read a book.It’s a young bar with loud music, cheap drinks, and sports on the TVs at all times.Jake’s Dilemma has some negative reviews on Google & Yelp, but I think most of those people just had unrealistic expectations. Also, a good chunk of those reviews are from 4-6 years ago, and I think things have improved since then. We’ve always had a solid experience with the staff and left feeling tipsy for cheap, a rarity in NYC. Check out our full review (not sponsored) on our website!

On a beautiful Tuesday night, I was looking for something to do in the city that never sleeps. After visiting 2 other bars that had rude or tired employees, we happened to find Jakes dilema. Immediately, we felt at ease, and Wade welcomed us and treated us like the happy celebratory humans we were. This was a beautiful way to discover a new place to hang out while in the city. I am hoping we can start an open mic night or something, so I will be coming back to speak to Wade and the manager about that. My only complaint is having to go down a flight of steps to get to the restroom. Its not fun when youre tipsy to have to go up two steps, down about 12 steps, and then down 2 more steps. Yes, I counted it was actually a running joke all night with us (though my count may be off, I was really tipsy at this point.) Overall, I really enjoyed this place, and its all because of the bartender and how amazing he is. Thank you, Wade!!!

Our waitress, Katie, took such great care of us to make sure we had an amazing experience! The pulled pork sandwich and sweet potato fries were a slam dunk at her review!

Sometimes a bit like a bro bar, but great wings, great service and fun.

Review 13 (2023-10-08 - Rating: 5)
We absolutely love the vibes at Jakes dilemma. Great place to watch sports, grab some great chicken tenders, and dance the night away with friends. The staff is also absolutely phenomenal! Katie helped us this evening and brought such great energy to the group while remaining attentive. Definitely will be going back

Great experience at Jakes Dilemma. One of my close friends hosted her birthday here. The staff was attentive, the bartender was a sweetheart. Jackie, Bekim and Brian made sure we had all our needs met all night.

Great place for sports, beer, and wings. Spacious and convenient spot on the Upper West Side to get some friends and watch a game!

Review 20 (2023-03-12 - Rating: 5)
There’s a happy hour and drink specials everyday! I got the smothered tots to eat which were fine but nothing over the top. Good food menu though all things considered. Plenty of TVs too to catch any sporting events. Very nice spot to hang out

We had a great time stopping in for a beverage. The bartender, JT, took great care of us and made us feel at home. Great happy hour too!

Review 22 (2023-12-05 - Rating: 5)
Food was bland and unseasoned. Drinks are good and strong. Nice atmosphere with a lot of young people. Really good bar for drinks and a night out, but stay away from the food.

Review 23 (2022-05-17 - Rating: 5)
A great bar and a great staff. It felt like first class on a premier airline! The service was impeccable and meticulous. The dining experience was good but their selection of beer and spirits was amazing!Its close by many stores for shopping needs and the neighborhood is quiet and safe.I cant imagine a better bar experience in New York City. Kudos to Jakes Dilemma!

Review 24 (2023-02-24 - Rating: 5)
I was a big fan of this place. The vibe was really cool and there was plenty of choice behind the bar. The chicken bites I had were pretty decent as well. I went here on a Sunday and it was $5 draught all night which is a steal around these parts. I will definitely be coming back here.

Came here after a softball game with a big group. Great service and value. Will definitely return.

Review 27 (2024-09-20 - Rating: 4)
I was invited, the people I was with definitely made the ambiance, my son ordered some tatter tots and they were really good.

Review 28 (2019-12-05 - Rating: 4)
The server lady whose name is Anita was the best I could imagine—friendly, attentive, quick, you tell me. The bar has a very chill ambiance in a spacious setting. Foods are definitely above average. But I gotta be honest with this dilemma: their draught beers taste watery.

Review 29 (2018-12-01 - Rating: 4)
Great place for a chill environment with a fairly young crowd. Their tater tots are the bomb. They also have a wide space where you can play beer pong with friends. Everyone is pretty friendly. When its busy, its really busy so make sure you plan your seats unless you dont mind standing

Review 30 (2024-12-06 - Rating: 4)
Good place for groups as well as good specials

Review 31 (2019-02-18 - Rating: 5)
This was my first time going to this place. I came out to celebrate a good friends birthday. This place is a bar slash pub. The atmosphere is very welcoming, the food and drinks are really good. The setting reminds me of a college hangout. I had a great time and I will be back.

Review 32 (2018-07-13 - Rating: 5)
Did you know jakes has a beautiful private room downstairs?! and i mean beautiful. like Spanish/Moroccan style decor. and with a separate bathroom from the rest of the bar. such a hidden gem! the service was FANTASTIC. theres a bar in the room and waitstaff for food. super cute everything. highly recommended. a far cry from the beer pong upstairs, it was really really sophisticated and nice.

Review 33 (2024-07-14 - Rating: 5)
We go to Jakes Dilemma every first Wednesday of the month for our companys Staff Happy Hour. Bartender Julian is amazing and he always makes us feel welcomed, he always remembers what we like! We like the drinks, atmosphere and the other staff members as well. Definitely recommend?

Review 34 (2020-10-08 - Rating: 5)
Over the summer, my friends and I stopped by for old times sake. They set up what were essentially divided booths, so it felt as if we were in a small semi-private dining area. The food was good and the drinks inexpensive, but tasty. Great memories!

Review 35 (2024-06-23 - Rating: 4)
This place is great for watching a game! Our waitress Katie made the experience 10X more fun. She was so sweet and fun to chat with. The food was delicious and the drinks were great! Reasonable prices too. Fun music bumpin & dive bar vibes. They also changed the TV for the game we wanted. Well definitely be back next time we have a game to watch.

Review 36 (2018-02-02 - Rating: 4)
Great bar, great selection of drinks, decent prices, the tables of games are great. Definitely a fun bar and a treat on the UWS. Minus 1 star for the overzealous security though. Dont touch or take peoples drinks without permission. Particularly full ones. Thanks.

Been going to Jakes for years. Good happy hour specials. Decent amount of televisions for sports. They changed their back room from a chill library to tables. Theyve also now added a bar all the way in the back.

Review 42 (2024-07-06 - Rating: 5)
I love this place! Best part, Katie is the best server, she is so fun!!!!! We always have the best time here and the drinks are great value. If you are in the area you have to check it out, trust me. HH is extensive and a great deal.

Review 43 (2013-04-01 - Rating: 5)
My best friend and I love this neighborhood spot for the PICKLE BACK SHOTS!Nothing super special about Jakes pickle back shots, but its our spot for them.Friday and Saturday nights are really fun and crowded but make for a fun atmosphere to play beer pong and relive your college weekend memories.It draws a fun and friendly crowd -- guys who just want to dominate the pong tables or girls in groups. Staff is nice; and Ive never waited too long for a drink ;)

Review 46 (2013-03-22 - Rating: 4)
Go on a weeknight and you get a mostly local crowd. Good mix of students and young professionals. Weekends get more of people coming in from the suburbs. Barfood is good, nice ambiance. You also get a lot of student tourists from all over coming in, so its a good atmosphere to meet people looking to mingle.

Love to visit next time as well; easy to connect to people; open; magnificent ambiente

Review 48 (2018-08-02 - Rating: 5)
First and foremost, I have to say that not only is this place super fun, with great food, but their staff is amazing! Bekim went above and beyond to help me out when I asked for suggestions regarding food and beer.Not only was I satisfied, but I was super impressed with how knowledgeable he was in his recommendations. I would definitely recommend this as a great spot to have some drinks with friends and enjoy some awesome food. Ask for Bekim, you wont be disappointed!!

Jakes is a staple of the upper west side, always good drinks and a good time. The servers named Hannah and Drew always makes sure me and my friends have a good time and they go above and beyond.

If youd like a pitcher of Guinness for $12 and good food at a reasonable price then this is the place for you. Cool crowd, been here a few times with friends and it always ended in a good time.

Fun uptown dive bar. Chatty crowd, beer pong tables, very college atmosphere. There are private rooms and such if you want to host a party.

Review 54 (2022-12-18 - Rating: 5)
A great casual bar with good vibes and atmosphere. I came by for a party with the back room reserved and the staff was great.

Review 55 (2024-05-20 - Rating: 5)
I have come to this place many times, and the truth is that I love it. The atmosphere is good, the beer is cheap. A while ago they stopped serving my favorite beer (mango kart) but thats no reason to stop going.

Its a good bar in a nice area. Has a younger crowd and 3 beer pong tables. Drinks are reasonably priced and its a great place for large groups.

The layout is much better than at Gin Mill with more favorable happy hour pricing during particular stretches of the year. That being said, the money ends up in the same pockets at the end of the day.

A local fixture, host to events like Speakeasy Shakespeare and trivia night. Has some quiet spaces for folks who are into that, and some livelier spaces if thats your vibe.Also, hilariously cheap for a bar where it is with the selection and atmosphere it has.

Booked The Oak Cellar for a big group get-together yesterday and had a great time! We set up the event with Christine M. from the Events Department ahead of time and she made it such an easy and simple process. She was truly a pleasure to work with. Beckham was our bartender and he did an amazing job as well! Definitely well liked by all of our guests. We’ll definitely consider Jake’s Dilemma again for another big group outing.

Not bad. Decent sports bar in UWS. Went here for an event in the basement cellar. Crowded but great service. Good friendly bartenders. Beer pong going on the top floors.
