Very hip place. A must go if you are around. Family friendly, excellent music, amazing décor, wide range of beers. What more can you ask for?
The burger was not bad, much like other pub burgers, but I really enjoy the atmosphere. Theyve got a fun playlist of songs going on with a generous selection of beers on tap. Their beer club provides an ambitious challenge to anyone who wants to become a regular.
The food is amazing. Not exactly what you would expect from a local bar. The beer selection is extensive. Something for any taste. Super friendly staff doesnt hurt either.
The Buffalo Chicken was so so. They carry a lot of kinds of local beer!
Friendly neighborhood Irish pub. Fantastic draft list with some pretty good cans too. Food is standard bar fare.
Weekends are not my demographic. At. All. Mainly because after I turned 30, I became too old to be constantly jostled in unbearably loud, over-crowded bars.But my first time here was during the week, early evening and then it was just my speed.They have a lengthy selection of beers and a neat technologically proficient way of displaying them. But I dont drink beer so thats all Ive got on that. Otherwise, its a full service bar with nice appointments. I found the raised seating in the back perfect for reading, interspersed with blatant people watching. And its right next to the free popcorn machine. But I have a sneaking suspicion that they keep the basement hatch open to deter only the most brave of moochers.If the crowd was like the mid-week crowd all the time, Id become a regular. I was over the frat-bro thing back in the late 90s, but dont let that stop you.
Great bartenders, servers and people create a great atmosphere.
Great place to have a drink with friends or at work. The place itself is small but very fun. Everyone loves the patio and the small tables are perfect for the patio. They have a full bar and there are plenty of seating for a couple. The staff is very friendly and they are always attentive to your needs. If you are looking for a quick place to have a drink or a quick bite to eat you should definitely come here.
Great beer bar, good for Soccer. And you always know how much of each beer is left courtesy of the real time beer menu screens.
I’m not sure who had the aux the night I went, but that person is GOD’s favorite dj. IDC IDC. Also, they give you popcorn when you’re done your meal...probably to get you to drink more. Either way, they make it mad hard for you to leave.
Beautiful rooftop bar with fun ambience and amazing food choices! Definitely not family friendly though- loud and your typical hangout for young professionals. We decided to hit this spot before heading to a baseball game and service was really fast and food came out at a reasonable time. The second floor looks beautiful but more for an intimate dinner. The whole roasted cauliflower was delicious!
Great bar, super friendly and accommodating staff, and great selection on tap. More than your usual boring lineup.
My favorite local bar. Great food and great beer all the time. The bartenders and waitstaff are top notch.
Ive been coming to this local watering hole since 2010. Its an unpretentious staple for Upper West Siders (and anyone else) who enjoys a quality beer list and good company.
Very impressed by the quality of their food. The burger and wings that we ordered came out quickly and were delicious. Even better was their beer selection. Hard to find offerings Galore! I do wish service was a little better. There was only one employee behind the bar all the bar seats and high top tables. Young lady helping us did her best that could definitely have used support.
Amazing beer selection, surprisingly great pub food, good music. Staff is cool too. I think I found my go to UWS bar to watch sports.
Bar was pretty empty shortly after happy hour on a Thursday evening. Bartender let me try a beer before ordering (which was appreciated - it wasnt quite my style). Comprehensive beer list with something for everyone. Relaxing place to enjoy a good craft brew.
Nice space to grab a beer and an assortment of wings. I didnt have one but the burgers are LARGE and they looked great, definitely going try one next time.
I am absolutely heartbroken that Keeley’s is currently closed. This is an incredible pub with great staff, good music with a chill vibe (sans the Friday and Saturday night overflow from bro bars), a delicious pub menu w/greasy and healthy options, and most importantly an array of various types of craft beer that are constantly changing. I’ve been going here well over 10yrs, more like 15. On the rare occasions I was in the area during the pandemic I would stop by for a roadie and a growler if I had it. I take this pandemic seriously and I never had a problem with the safety measures (or lack of) that they adhered to. One time I saw a small group of irresponsible young males with masks down being rowdy on the sidewalk who had clearly gotten a beer (or more) from Keeley’s, but that was the individuals, not Keeley. I hope and look forward to the day that their doors open and their drafts start flowing.
If you like north Eastern beers youll love this place. Good ambience, great bar staff. Their beers arent my favorite but (I like Ambers and not ipas) I can find at least one I like out of the 15+ on tap. Kitchen is decent enough for bar food and the free popcorn is great. They do tend to close before 0200 though. I keep coming back and it is my preference for the UWS
We came here for the holiday cocktails after seeing it written up in a local newspaper. The reviews looked great! Once we got there, however, it was a different story. Its certainly not the quality of the restaurant itself. You have to stand in line and order from a barely readable menu. The place itself was dark, dingy and an amusement park style scene. The waitress that helped us was rude and condescending. We ended up leaving in frustration.
Friendly warm local pub with the best burgers
Nice bar with a good selection of beers and snacks. The BBQ chicken quesadillas were really delicious.
Went here to watch the Yankees game and have dinner on a work trip. I had the macaroni and cheese, it was great! Bartender was helpful in getting a beer selection since the options are massive. They also have a screen of what people are drinking if youre looking for a crowd sourced decision. Overall its a great place to visit just down from Central Park.
This is the rooftop bar of 25 Lusk. Came here on a nice sunny day to catch up with a friend. Cocktails are decent and not too sweet. Did not try the food. Average SF price point for food and drinks. Slightly disappointed that there is not much a view and its only 2 story building.
Relaxed atmosphere and great beer selection. Love the automated tap list on the TV screens with approximate keg levels. Had the fish tacos and they were pretty good. Will stop again if back in the area.
I was really impressed with the outstanding draft and bottle selection of craft beers here. Then I had something to eat: wowzers! I really did not expect the food to be THAT good. The bar gives off a chill almost divey vibe but doesnt serve like it. And the service is nice and fast as well! Not a date night spot per say, but maybe a 5th date when you both realize you like the same type of beers? Just an idea. I recommend it.
I am a native New Yorker and will keep to the directness of how we are known to be :)Drinks: Great beer selection. I tried the Badass Pear Cider which was really great! The name alone sold me :) Standard pub drinks.Space: The standard local pub. Great place for catching up with friends and trying all kinds of craft beers!Scene: People watching. College scene. Pickup scene. Singles scene. Girls night out.Crowd: 20s-30s Mostly college students and locals.Service: Great! The staff is very courteous and attentive!
Awesome selection, especially of beers. They have rotating craft beers on tap - when you get your first, ask for a page in the binder. You can record the beers youve tasted and theres a club if you get 100!Theres no rush - they keep the pages for years, seemingly indefinitely
I came on a Saturday night, and it wasnt a big game night so the bars was pretty empty. A nice Waitress/Bartender made my favorite Drink Vodka Gimlet, and it was delicious. Unfortunately the bar food wasnt up to part. I am a big fired pickle fan and I got some oil down pickles and may so little that I was super disappointed. My sample burgers were good but could have been a little better and their twisted fires were super salty. I mean maybe it was me but I like to eat and drink and have a good time. I didnt have a bad time thought got to celebrate an important moment in a very chill atmosphere so it couldnt have been that bad.I would come back on a big game night to see how the atmosphere!
Great hole-in-the-wall/neighborhood bar in the UWS. It has a normal pub menu and a huge beer selection. They have a great list of English and Irish beers. The beer club allows you to get your name on the wall if you drink 100 different beers.
Best burgers on the UWS. Definitely in my top five. Clean, open spaces make it less dark and pub-like but it is still a pub. Beer menu is a journey itself - lots of microbrews to choose from. Can get extremely crowded so plan accordingly.
Beer Selection is off the charts - always rotating, and always on point. I’ve also tried their Bloody Mary, comes with bacon, which is always a nice touch. I’m picky about bloodys, but this one was very good! I’ve eaten here on a few occasions, I love their wings! Also, have tried the burgers, Feel Good Wrap(yum) and the poppers. At times it can feel like a low key quiet pub or totally jamming on a Football Sunday Funday. The staff is really nice and are quick to bring your drinks. I’ve always enjoyed my experiences at GK’s!
Great bar, loads of craft beer available here!
Not yet sure how I feel about the updates, but this is my favorite neighborhood bar for about a decade. Excellent beer selection and tasty bar food. Free pop-corn and friendly staff make it worth staying uptown any given evening.
Best place to grab a pint. Huge beer selection, exclusive beer club and a stellar staff....
Im not a beer drinker, but the food and service here were absolutely terrible. My fish and chips was lukewarm, soggy, and about 50% breading. My husbands nachos were also inedible. We were also told after we ordered at a table that table service was ending because they werent busy and wed have to go to the bar for service... We left our food on our plates and made lunch at home.
Great service. Good menu. Went here to watch a World Cup game. Plenty of TVs. Would go back again. Free popcorn! Bathrooms were small. If I could give 4.5 stars I would.
Excellent beer selections, delicious food, wonderful music, and friendly people.
One of my favorite pubs in the city: solid bar food, a diverse rotation of beers on tap, and a relaxed (but not boring) vibe. If youre with a couple of people, order the Mixed Basket--its a massive combination of wings, fries, fried pickles, mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders and jalapeño poppers, all for just $17.
Great beer selection, and they always have a cask selection as well. Their burgers and wings (honey garlic) are very tasty, too. Basically a neighborhood local, but well worth making it yours.
My fave go-to craft beer spot on UWS. I usually make a point to come here and Beer Shop to get my craft fix in this area. Their food is good too. I encourage you to sign up for their frequent beer program thing, its fun to write down new beers you have tried and take forever to earn your freaking plaque. I can always rely on GK to have something on tap that I want to try.
Great bar. Good beer, service, food, and sports. Not a bad crowd either. So happy they reopened.
Great bar. Excellent rotating beer selection. Awesome food. Friendly staff. Can usually get a seat. Every sports game you want
This was by far the worst burger Ive ever eaten. It ranged from 100% bland to just inedible. The meat had no flavor except for being badly burned and charred on the top and raw inside. Toppings did nothing to help the burger. Curly fries were ok, but added $3 to the price. Honestly, about 3 places in a block radius that Id rather spend the same $19 for a burger and fries.Also, menu on different than what is on Google.Beers are hit or miss, but given the wide and rapidly changing selection, Im ok w that I suppose. Still this will he last on my list in this neighborhood.
I used to live in UWS and went here all the time. I moved, and came back to visit a year and a half after moving. They still remembered my name, still were the great people theyve always been, and it was still a fantastic place to drink, socialize, and have fun. Couldnt recommend any place higher than George Keeley.
I have not been to this bar in almost twenty years and after my Saturday afternoon visit, I really don’t feel I have missed much! Noise level was high, burger was unremarkable and the service uninspired; if in the area worth a drop in but don’t go out of your way!
Nice place with good beer selection and IBU values on many if them so you know what youre getting even if you dont know beers that well but now if you want it bitter or not. Staff are friendly and the place has a good vibe
Very laid back, good crowd, huge, high quality beer selection, nice staff. The bar food is delicious. I had group event here once and it went off without a hitch, and the manager, Bridget was excellent at helping set it up.
This place is great. Get the double cooked wings and a couple pints. Always great beer on tap and the staff is friendly and available to get you just what you are interested in.
Fantastic selection and a nice bar/tavern for a quiet drink. Also, they have complimentary popcorn so this place is definitely getting 5 stars for me haha.Favorite bar in the UWS.
Absolutely and awesome venue with solid appetizers. Service was on point and Kevin, Im assuming was the manager, introduced himself and made sure my visit was awesome- which it was! Go here!
During the weekends they blast extremely loud music but during the week its great for going out with friends. Good value, decent food, and a nice selection of beer.
George Keeleys has a great list of beers that is always changing weekly. This is my go to place for craft beer on the upper west side. Reasonable prices, darts, free popcorn, good food, and rare beers.
Great draft beer selection and always in rotation the double cooked wings awesome and delicious and the the curly fries cooked so well nothing is greasy but crispy
Great beer selection & really decent bar to watch sports. Great staff & service. Food is a typical sports bar type food, so wouldnt go there w/o a sport event!
I came here after amc on a friday night, and ordered the sweet potato fries and mac and cheese. and omg they gave this special sauce for the fries, and it was so delicious!!! and the mac and cheese came in its own miniature pot, and was so cheesy and crunchy. definitely coming here again after the theater too! reccomended for sureee :))!
Great place to grab a beer!
Very nice crowd during the NFL playoffs this year, then again, I was there very early around 3:30pm. Nevertheless, the place was filled and not overly crowded. Wish they used a Wind Guarded double door.
Best beer selection in the area. This place is usually light on my ears and casual environment for the chill 25+ year old. Not snobby and very relaxed crowd.
George Keeleys biggest draw is the giant beer wall that tells you whats on tap, when its been tapped and all the info you could ever possibly want to know about your beer. It is, however, dreadfully slow or at least it was on the Wednesday evening when I visited around 10:30pm. It was so slow, I couldnt even order food, which was a shame because the wings looked delicious.
Great burgers. 5 stars. Bartenders always great. Beer list not that inspiring. No longer a craft beer vanguard.
Stopped by on a Friday night. Gun Hill Void of Light saved the session. Service is good
Good beer selection. Gets really crowded, so if you dont mind standing its a fun place to be. Enjoyable place for a night out with friends.
Best bar food in NYC and one of the best beer selections. Everything Bagel Fries and Thai Chili Wings (double fried!) are excellent. Great service too.
Best and cheapest happy hour. Had a cosmo that was tasty and strong and some of the best onion rings. We even went back for dinner two nights later.
If you want to see what teachers look like when they think no one else is watching go here at 3:30 on, well I guess any day. Fine beer selection and decent food. Free popcorn too.
Amazing beer list. Havent been on weekends or prime hours but every time Ive been its been a great atmosphere
This is one of our go-to places in the area. Reasonably priced beer, good service, and great food. It can be difficult to find a table, but not too bad!
This place is super cool and very good to their customers. Great people having a taste of different kinds of beers. Awesome for sports and great time.
Awesome Pub/Bar,relaxed ambience,drinks were perfect ,food was delicious and fresh,great music selection,cust service was fantastic,fast service,my bartender was so nice and sweet she is the best indeed!
Great selection of craft beers. Good food. Sometimes way too loud for conversation.
Allagash tap takeover. Awesome brews with Karri and co. Really chill vibe. Bar food kicked up a notch. Sweet potato tater tots. Fish n chips. Get them truffled. Im coming back for Mad Elf on the 15th
So good to have this place open again. Great beer, great staff, great spot!
Awesome beer selection. Can get too crowded at times. Decent finger food.
Nice bar with good selection of beer they broadcast on some TV screens. Service was ok, but it was a nicer and cleaner bar.
There are a lot of bars along this strip of Amsterdam, but this one stands apart due to its great selection of craft beers and higher level of cleanliness.
Perfect pub with interesting menu and great drinks!
Very nice
Best bar in the neighborhood. 22 craft beers on tap and one cask. Not too loud and an eclectic mix of people.
Best burgers on Amsterdam Ave, wings were pretty good too. Bacon cheddar burger is awesome!!!!
Like this place. Neighborhood bar. Good music, sports on the multiple screens. Cool menu. The whole place is very inviting.
Great place for some bar food. Great burger and fries, and some cool bartenders. Open decently late.
ALL THE BEER.Plus typical Irish pub fare with the beer. But just go for the beer.
Try the Fried Pickles and the Nachos at one of NYC’s finest craft beer bars. Check their website for whats on tap as it rotates weekly.
Good beer range (and fresh), friendly service and relaxing vibe. Would make it my regular if i didnt live 17,000ks away.
Great selection of brews and a nice environment for a sports bar. Very nice UWS spot for watching soccer.
Great selection of beers and bar food. Low key dive bar, space to breathe with a good atmosphere.
Couldnt ask for a better bar. Amazing craft beer, always a solid music playlist, and great bartenders.
Amazing beer selection, plenty of tvs to watch the game. Wings were pretty good
Excellent beer selection and all-around great vibe for an after-work drink. Highly recommended.
Good neighborhood bar with good beer/liquor selections. Some regulars and odd characters, but thats what gives it its charm.
Not the widest selection of beers, but Kevin the bartender was knowledgeable and generally awesome enough to help me find something I enjoyed
Very good draft beer selection and above average bar food.
Loved my burger.
Solid bar with great food. Some of the best wings at any bar on the UWS.
Great place to grab a beer and watch football on a Sunday afternoon. Solid beer selection.
I really like that they use tv screens to display whats on tap with price, it really makes the experience better to not have to stand squinting in low light to make a decision, overall decently priced for the neighbourhood
Great bar! Loved it when I lived in Manhattan. S c r e w DeBlasio.
By far one of my favorite bars great happy hour prices. And there tap list always on point.
Great atmosphere. Lots of screens. Typical bar food (wings/etc) but done well.
Terrible service. Lady bartender glanced at me and helped someone else. You can only stand at a bar so long before you have to spend your money elsewhere. Wasnt even busy.
Great place with awesome music, good menu of beers, best option in NYC pericci
Great spot, great beer. You can even check whats on tap online
Relaxed bar with amazing rotating taps, friendly bartenders who give tastes of the brews and free popcorn
Great drinks and grilled cheese. The volume of the music being played was a little oppressive for a lunch time scene.
Grwat beer selection, just ok food quslity for pub food, music too loud for a Sunday aftetnoon

2021-10-12They have really good bar food here, super crispy onion rings and tater tots, and the boneless wings were good as well. The staff was really nice and helped us clean a table to sit at outdoors after it had rained.
Review №2
2019-11-23Good bar, its all about the vibe. And its not what can be faked with loud music or pretentious bartender. When its the right one, you just can tell instinctively. The staffs here are cheerful and polite. Things taste great. People seem to be happy whatever theyve been up to--from watching their weekend match to enjoying ones solo dining. Its all thanks to the place thats got the right vibe.

2022-07-23Really good wings & 🍺. Highly recommend as I have been there several times for drinks & appetizers

2017-12-31George Keeley is a great bar for craft beers and excellent pub food. Their double-fried wings are the best in the city. Excellent fried pickles. Fantastic GK Standard Burger with barbecue and a fried onion as toppings. For wings, the spicy buffalo, Thai-chili, and jerk are the most popular sauces.
Review №5
2019-10-16Eaten here a few times and whether it’s a burger, wrap, or the appetizers food has always been good quality for bar food.Buffalo cauliflower is more of a dry rub and then you dip in buffalo sauce. Our table was divided on if we liked it, but I liked it.Wrap has a good size, but would maybe have had the chipotle mayo on side so I could dip instead of in the wrap. Wasn’t so much that it was soggy but was a lot of aioli in the wrap.Most important part - solid beer selection and digital menu lets you keep track of what’s available or running out.

2018-10-11What a bar! They have their beer selection up on Lcd! They also have a really solid selection of beers. Premier League games are played on screens. They have solid vego options and all sorts of tasty food. I went with the vego burgers and fries.
