    Hands down the best place to go to watch an Arsenal match!!They have a special breakfast menu for days when the Arsenal match is in the AM for EST.Pub food is great here!We spent a little more than one normally would because we were there several hours from before the game until some time after.

    Visited before taking a charter bus to the Manchester United-Arsenal friendly. It was so chaotic in there but the staff was very prompt and still managed to get orders through. Food was good—pub grub. Definitely a good bar to visit on a more regular day.

    Just like the other locations Olde City is always a great experience. Friendly staff, bomb food and good vibes. Go Birds! Love the cheesesteaks and wings, usually don’t have to wait long for food. Also, a lot of beer options on tap or bottle, pretty much can get anything in a bucket or pitcher for larger groups. This location has an upstairs which is nice. Well done yet again!

    Svetana is the best bartender ever! I had the cheesesteak egg rolls that were amazing. Nice chill Philly vibes in HK.

    First time visiting Olde City and it was great! It is definitely a place to enjoy with friends and family. The staff was not only friendly and attentive but also highly skilled. The customer service was outstanding. Ciso did amazing cocktails, which were second to none. My favorite one was Spicy Margarita. I also enjoyed listening to great music while eating my delicious Steak City Fries. I highly recommend this place. A must GO!!!

    I was seriously craving a cheesesteak, and this place is right down the street from me. I was not disappointed - the cheesesteak was definitely on point. Digging into this place afterwards, I found out its actually the reincarnation of Shortys, which was introduced to me by a buddy from Philly.

    Monica was sooooo wonderful! We were there during a soccer match and she stayed so friendly and helpful throughout despite a full house. They also had a really good non-alcoholic hazy ipa ☺️

    Excellent hang out spot. The food was excellent and it has a pretty good happy hour. All the food is pretty authentic Philly style, cheesesteak wit wiz, cheesesteak egg rolls, and the roast pork sandwich were all delicious. Nice seats at the bar by the open windows.

    Friendly and helpful waiter the cheese steak was everything I hoped

  • Review 15 (2024-01-04 - Rating: 5)

    Pleasantly surprised that the food was good!! Was in between appointments and had just enough time for lunch. Had their Smashburger and fries. Was not expecting two (not thin) patties. I love burgers, but most times, its dry and even has that stale flavor, but this was meaty, juicy and didnt taste like pre-prepared frozen patties. The fries even seemed real and were seasoned, coated fries. Crunchy and tasty. So glad I stopped in on a whim. The bar keeper was chill too, which is always nice.

    Top tier customer. I appreciate the patience and the honesty from my server. Not only was she was polite, she assisted me if my questions as well as give me alternative options for things that wasn’t to me liking. If it wasn’t for her customer service, I probably would’ve went somewhere else. Keep up the good work and keep on supporting the customers. Customer service is key and this establishment is definitely on its way. Thank you for helping me to have a great experience here.

    This place is amazing! Granted this is 76ers place and I’m a Knicks fan (lol) but they still show that brotherly love. Our waiter Svetlana had amazing energy, beautiful, kind, and on point. Really appreciate the conversation and vibes with her and this place. Definitely recommend coming

  • Review 18 (2023-12-23 - Rating: 5)

    The best place in NYC to watch Arsenal games. Incredible food, amazing staff, and supreme atmosphere. Get there early, get a cheesesteak and a pint, and enjoy the Arsenal fans chanting. Unrivaled atmosphere, probably anywhere in the US.

  • Review 19 (2023-07-28 - Rating: 5)

    I would like to give a special mention to Pedro, our server. He was absolutely amazing, and he made our experience at Olde City Cheesesteaks & Brew even better. He was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. He made sure that we had everything we needed, and he even gave us some great recommendations for food and drinks. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great server and this place for anyone looking for a good drinks and bar food.

    I came here one night for dinner. I liked the Philly theme, with Victory on tap and a variety of cheesesteaks and other pub food. I got their authentic cheesesteak and I can vouch for its authenticity. Overall a cool place.

    Best place to watch the ARSENAL and awesome cheesesteak to go along with it. Heads up to Ciso and Spencer for their great service and 14th street gooners for the atmosphere during the game.

    Great staff with attentive service and real Philly food. This is a fabulous place to join Philadelphia team watch parties (Eafles, Phillies, 76ers, Penn) but also great hosts for our Utah Utes NY Alumni watch parties. Friendly welcoming place with good beer selection and great drinks.

    This place is awesome. Lana is fire!! She was so sweet and the atmosphere was incredibly good.I had some cocktails and if you guys like sweet drinks I can highly recommend the dirty waters but if you prefer something stronger but aromatic the White Iverson Negroni is for you.

    I got a cheesesteak to go. Actually a mini, which they are breaking out soon. (They offered it to me early.) It was delicious! Among the best I’ve ever had. The meat was great, the mini roll was incredible and it all held up really well for takeout.

    Went yesterday and enjoyed myself with a friend. Vibe of the place was good and staff was very friendly. I was helped by Maddie and Lana. They were both very friendly. Had some drinks and appetizers. Hot wings were delicious. Got the chipotle BBQ cheesesteak to go and was the perfect hangover food the next morning.

I highly recommend the, Cheesesteak Egg Rolls, Any style Wings, Old Bay Fries, Jawn Olde Fashion, and the Olde City Amber. Will definitely be back to Dance on my Own. Go Birds🦅

  • Review 58 (2023-12-01 - Rating: 5)

    Almost afraid to give it a raving review because I don’t want it to get too popular. But the food is fire - make sure to get the cheese steak eggrolls, the drinks are solid price for NYC and there’s so many TVs. So pumped they put one in the neighborhood. Will be a weekly occurrence for me
