Dinner was good, not great, but for what this is- a tavern, it was decent fare. It’s funny the drink menu is bigger than the food menu. My partners burger was decent, my fish and chips was a tad greasy. Our server was fantastic!

There were lines around the block for the chain restaurants near Times Square, and this place was just a block away. It was quiet, we got great service, and the food was good and nicely presented. I wanted to tell people in that long line, “hey right there is a place with great beer and bar food with no wait.”

Stopped in for dinner after a matinee show before heading home.Seated on time.Friendly staff.Nice menu.Great beer selection and more non alcoholic beers than most places.Cuban sandwich was one of best I’ve had,they’re my current choice to try if it’s on the menu.My wife loved her burger and very pleased to get side salad instead of fries as an option.Will definitely be here again when we park at Port Authority
