A word from Rye House

Rye House is a casual bar and restaurant with a deep seeded reverence for the foundation, history, and traditions of American cocktails, spirits, brews, wines and regional gastronomy's. In this pursuit we will pay homage to the diversity of the food and drink of various regions of the United States.… We will achieve these goals by highlighting the rebirth of small batch production and grassroots cooking, merging the modern creative techniques of today while harkening us back to simpler times. We DO NOT take reservations for the bar area through Open Table.Continued

"Was my first time at Rye House...nice ambience and decor. However, I wasn't prepared for it to be so heavily focused on spirits and so little on food...would very much like to see these guys expand their food menu, otherwise in the future I'll probably just go back for drinks...."

"we went for brunch and it was a little quiet - not sure if too many people think about coming here for brunch but the eggs and salad were good. i would have liked to have it be a little more busy and vibrant. it looks like it would be a great place for drinks and happy hour."

"We stopped in prior to a show at Hiro Ballroom. Ate at the bar. Although my French Dip was a bit dry, and the cheese was undiscernable, all in all the food was very good. My husband got the Cuban and it was terrific. The Brussel Sprouts alone were well worth the trip from Suffolk County Long Island.
Service was warm and helpful, good vibe in the bar. We would absolutely go again if in the vicinity."

"Unbelievably LOUD - a joke really of what a loud restaurant can be. Food was decent and the service friendly, but the two of us could not hear each other speak without screaming."
