Came here on a wim as I was passing by during NFL games. It was fairly empty and had plenty of TVs. Both of which I liked. Good beer selection and friendly bartenders who allowed me to sample some of the beers before I chose. If youre looking for a quieter place to enjoy a pint this isnt a bad choice.
We had a quick drink at Hellcat Annie’s bar. It was okay. The price was reasonable! The staff was kind.
A great dive bar. Theres a large drink menu with lots of beers on tap, and we ate onion rings, mozzarella sticks, pretzels, and chicken wings. My group really enjoyed the wings.
Fast enough, yummy hamburgers, flavored chicken, delicious French fries. Good beers. Cool waiter.The unique thing was I want well done hamburger, and I received a medium well...
Pretty decent bar. We were passing by and decided to try it. The drinks are not too expensive. Good service.
This place is amazing, you have to come here, they are great people, the food is awesome and the beer is as well! Definitely coming back! Thank you!
Cool bar with a wide choice of local tap beers
We had a great Saturday afternoon here. It was pretty busy and the lovely bartender was covering the entire crowd on her own. Normally that would have been a negative but, not only was she excellent in her profession, but very patient as well. I liked the “no table service “ policy, in part because I required that I move every now and again if I wanted beer. I had two great IPA’s that I hadn’t known before and noted some to try next time.Food was good but predictable.
Excellent choices of beer and plenty of seating. Clean, fun bartender, and great vibes.
Staff were friendly and didnt pressure you to order every 20 minutes. Nice and chill place for drinks and food
Great down to earth spot in hells kitchen. The staff is very nice and attentive. The beer selection is always varied and tasty, and the food is fantastic salty/fried beer-food goodness. Highly recommend in your whistle needs wetting and your stomach something tasty.
Not pony bar but a decent selection of beers and fish tacos were pretty good.
Had a really good chicken sandwich here. Goes good with the beer. Good selection.
Great craft beer place, it is kinda small but they had a great selection
Small cozy bar. Ate a good classic burger and and drank one nice draft beer, from a good selection of taps.
Stopped in for a few beers and they have a solid selection. The bartender was knowledgeable about craft beer and friendly. Good service.
Replacing the Pony Bar that was previously in this location, Hellcat Annies still retains a lot of the same feel and atmosphere. Great selection of craft beer and decent food.
Great spot to stumble into in the daytime or the late night. Theyve got one of the best pandemic-built structures outside and inside is just as cozy. Full on tap list with plenty to choose from and the food aint half bad either! Definitely a fun spot.
Great beer selection and food is always great. And they have an impossible burger if you want!
Worst experience ever. Drunk bartender on Thursday night, rude, not professional, people walking out because of him.
The vibes are great and they have a huge bin of dog treats for the sharing 🥰
Really nice place, good food, good beer, friendly vibe, not too loud or crowded for a circa port authority bar. Good choice will always go back when Im in this part of town.
Great tap list and friendly bartender. Didn’t get any food but it certainly smelled good. Good tunes and vibes always a plus.
Great selection of varied craft beers. Food was good too.
Service was pretty good. The wings really hit the spot, and the prices are decent. Solid selection for beers as well, had a really good grapefruit shandy .
The craft beer selection is awesome and well priced at happy hour. Definitely try the hot honey wing sauce: its absolutely delicious. Beef brisket sandwich was also very juicy, served with fresh fries.Outdoor dining is also well done with heat lamps.4 stars not 5 because the buffalo chicken sandwich was disappointingly dry and bland. Suggest Hellcat Annies look into that sandwich.
Honestly I thought about giving 2 stars, however the food saved them as it was surprisingly good especially the wings.However the staff left a lot to be desired. One member was just very rude and unhelpful. While the other was nice and friendly, he did forget drinks a few times. Food and drinks also took a long time to come to the table and the bar just didnt seem to care.Would I go back...maybe, but if this experience happened again I think I would just find a new spot.
Went here for lunch on a Friday, theyre not open this early the rest of the week. I was the first one there so had the place to myself for a half hour or so. Bartender was totally cool, into sports, fun and friendly. The burger was pretty good, I think a little light on seasoning but pretty scrumptious. Beer selection is good. Comfortable atmosphere, a fun place to hang out!
This place is a personal favorite. They always have a great beer list, and if youre not sure what to order the knowledgeable bartenders will point you in the right direction. Food is always a must when Im imbibing and they have a decent selection of basic bar food. The atmosphere ranges from laid back to busy and crowded (especially during weekends and happy hour).
Great selection of beers.
Dont come. You must order food and they are not friendly. Rude and mean. Also owners of the Scruffy Duffys next door. Same people
My corned beef was half pink and half brown, it would have been 1 star but the fries were good. Hostess was nice.Update: owner replied they don’t sell corned beef and accused me of being drunk. I replied :“Obviously you don’t know anything, i had a Reuben sandwich. And it was one beer.I DEFINITELY will not go there again!
Just stopped in for a couple beers and a quick bite, but was very impressed even in that brief time. The service was friendly and prompt, the beer selection was great and the Bavarian pretzels were delicious. Highly recommend if youre looking for a craft beer bar with a laid back vibe.
Great spot to catch a drink or watch some sports. Good service and nice selection of drinks. Also has a unique history. Will be back.
The bartenders were super friendly. Had my favorite cider in tap. We will be back!!
A great place for good beers and food. Large selection of draft beer. They even understood Norwegian accent, kudos. I had pulled pork and it was really tasty. The homemade bun, was moist and so was the pork. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming and partyish even on a Thursday.
If you like good beer you owe it to yourself to check this place out. They have an excellent rotating selection of beer, and the service is always great. The bartenders are very friendly and approachable, and they have no problem making recommendations or even letting you try the different beers. It can get crowded at time, but not uncomfortable. Definitely one of my favorite bars in the city.
This is a small bar with 2 single stall bathrooms (male & female.) There are very few tables and table service doesnt include drinks. Youll have to order those and eye the bartender until its ready for you to pick up. The impossible burger was great, but I wish they offered vegan cheese to go with it. Their fries were delicious. Id visit this place again.
A great bar, serving good beer, good food, by friendly staff.
Great local restaurant/bar with friendly staff! Food selection is delicious and they do a great job with the variety. Always love coming back here and feel welcomed.
Huge beer selection and all of them are $7. Dive type of bar, with a good atmosphere. If you get to know or talk to the bouncer or the bartenders, youll have a great experience.The food there is very good although a bit pricey. Its one of my regular spots in the city.
Had lots of awesome craft beers, from light to dark and all in between. Very small place but worth going. Even have some food, we only got fried pickles but they were delicious. Bartender was very nice and social.
Lots of Beers and good Food 👍
Great beers, tasty food. And Owen is a fantastic bartender
In response to your comment. We stopped in on one of the last days of June. The place wasnt busy but it took over 20 minutes to order two drinks. We asked for top shelf liquor and received bar stock...however charged top shelf price. The drinks were horrible and the food is what everyone claims to be bar food. We do visit the city often and were very surprised at the lack of customer service while plenty of staff were available. Better luck for us next time maybe!
Hellcat Annies is a true neighborhood treasure. Its the perfect place to grab a drink or a bite any day or time of the week.A beer bar without being a Beer Bar (i.e. intimidating and pretentious), a place to watch sports while also enjoying conversation and music, and a hometown bar for people from all over the country, the owner has really created something special here.They have an incredible selection of beers on tap (plus special cans!) and the servers/bartenders are knowledgeable and friendly.On top of that, the food is way better than is needs to be or what you might expect. Their menu includes standard bar fare and a few items prepared with a unique twist, and its all good. I mean really good. Well-priced, quickly and consistently prepared—ideal for a casual dinner, late night snacks, or for sharing with friends while watching a game. Scruffy Duffys wings (traditional or boneless) never disappoint, and the nachos and pulled pork sandwich are delicious!An all-around great spot to enjoy alone, with family and friends, or the lovely strangers you will inevitably end up chatting with over a beer.
I have been coming here for years and it used to be one of my favorite beer bars in NY. Im really sad about how it has changed. It went from having tvs that listed the beers on tap and a charming new beer bell ritual to just another sports bar. It is probably a better than average spots bar with an OK beer list, but has lost its character.
I’ll admit up front that this rating is partially attached to how the bar was before the owners split up. It used to be an out-of-this-world rotating craft beer bar that had built a great following over the decade it was around. And while Annie’s seems to be slowly inching back towards a more diverse beer bar, I miss the days when you couldn’t even think about getting a seat at the bar on a Friday or Saturday night. Now it’s sort of a normal corner bar, filled with the last bit of local regulars that have stuck around.
One of the best beer selections in the city. Always domestic craft beer. Food is also pretty good. The pulled pork sandwich is great. You can often find a rare beer on tap. It can get crowded, and its not a huge place. Can also get sort of dark in the winter.
The bathrooms were disgusting but other than that it was a fun experience.
Outdoor dining only in NYC during pandemic in winter.... great cozy, comfy and safe set up with yummy food and great service. The hot spiced cider is amazing. Dont miss out on this experience!Come see kevin and jess, amazing people
Last minute decision that I don’t regret. The burger was done and juicy how I like them. The Grilled Rib and Cheese was amazing. Nice selection of brews and got the Pain Killer, a pineapple based drink that was also amazing.
I absolutely LOVE it here. I came with a group of five friends about a month ago and then again with my boyfriend a few nights ago. They have an awesome selection of beers, cocktails, and food. Also, their playlist is awesome. Definitely gonna make this a regular spot!
Originally my wife and I were visiting the DMV area. We decided to take a day trip to NYC and especially wanted to walk around Hells Kitchen. We stumbled across Annies and thought it was a good time for a beer. We made a great choice! A nice, quaint bar with good beer options and very friendly staff. We will make a return the next time we visit Hells Kitchen!
I loved it! The place is great, not big but not claustrophobic, beer selection is really good, tap beers are majority, and the menu is small but really good, NOT FOR VEGANS, the portions are good for the price and the taste is awesome, NOTE: most of the menu is a cholesterol bomb but is like heaven sent!!Update:Name changed to Annies Hellcat tap room, still awesome
This is one of my favorite after work bars...and apparently a lot of people feel the same way as it is crowded after work. Never ending list of rotating craft (many local) beers and they are about $5 each! An overwhelming selection of beers is written in their menu above the bar. Even mixed drinks are about $7. If you review 200 of them you get a shirt, ask the bartender how. They even serve food here but I have never tried it.
We order philly and cheese quesadilla. The coke tasted very flat, reOrdered and same. The food tastes blah !!!. In my opinion the street vendor food is better.Service was very mediocre.
Really cool little bar! Great selection of beer! A
Beer centric bar catering to a younger crowd. They have a good selection of what appear to be rotating drafts at reasonable prices. Not as crowded as other places in Hells Kitchen and they werent blasting music later at night which made for a good environment for going out with friends who want to have productive conversation. Definitely worth a visit if you are on a craft beer tour of New York.
Good place to hang out with decent food and drinks menu.
If you are a beer person make your way here. Lots of choices and options for every drinker. The vibe is sexy and cool but casual. Kind of modern and a throwback: I threw a birthday party here for 25 people and it was a huge success. Everyone celebrated happily.
Amazing beer list, seemless neighborhood feel friendliness among staff, ownership, locals and tourists, and business community clientele. Good food. Handsome and comfortable atmosphere. The owner, Pat, is a true and great New Yorker who works hard for perfection; and loves his work and his clientele and staff.
Great selection of local crafts and friendly bartenders. Plus, the regular prices are reasonable and their happy hour prices are great! Didnt try the food, but those around that did had great things to say. Menu seems interesting and will definitely try food on the next visit.
I love this place. They have an excelent selection of craft beers from all over the US. They are really good prices, mostly at only $5. Its sort of a small space so it gets crowded but its one of my favorite bars in town. Their selections change a lot too so there is always something new. A must for someone who enjoys microbrews.
Great variety of beer. There was only one barman when I got there and the place was fairly full, so he was a little overwhelmed. Later another one showed up. Not having table service is an interesting choice, but here was a mild nuisance, since the bar was really full and I didnt have room to talk to the bartender. Other than that, really good.
Stopped there a few weeks ago for the 1st time. Great service, small bar feeling, super beer options. The pork bbq sliders were very good.Will stop back next time in NYC
Food was great service and servers were very friendly
Went here on 10/6/18. The atmosphere was great! The locals were talkative and fun and so was the bartender who had the three deathly hollows tattoo on his left arm. Food was great i reccomend the chedder bacon ranch fries but make sure you have people to share with they give you a lot. Great selection of drinks as well, something for everyone. It is a little small on the inside but that wasnt an issue at the time i went which was a little pass noon.
Very friendly staff good beers on tap and really delicious wings. My one criticism would be that they really need to reevaluate their fish tacos as they were bland and uninspired with no hint of mango or habanero and very small portions of fish loaded with iceberg lettuce and canned corn. Aside from that the pretzel bites, wings, and especially the fries are all great!
Walked into the bar and I immediately loved the atmosphere. It had a certain sophistication about it that made you feel you werent just there to drink beer and get drunk, but to critique each beer tasted. Bartender was awesome. Let us try a bunch of different beers as samples. Compared to the bar up the street (Rudys) that boasts cheap beer and free food, spare yourself the horrible experience and go to the Pony Bar instead. I wish I didnt live in Nebraska or else Id come back to this place many more times. Keep it up.
A great local pub with live music the night I was there. A duet playing cool tunes on guitars. The sliders were juicy and tasty, and the wings were tasty as well. From what I remember, there was no option for super hot wings....but thats not really a deal breaker.
Sweet little divey/quiet bar in Hell Kitchen. Stopped in briefly around 730pm in a Tuesday, pre-movie, and found a solid draft list at decent priced ($7/$8) and varied draft list. Didnt get to try the food, but the place smelled of wings, which is always a good thing. Bartenders were attentive and jovial, as well. Check it out.
This is a great bar with rotating craft beers. The staffs are nice and knowledgeable about the beers they carry in house. Overall great bar for a drink and good to bring your co workers. The price is decent for this area.
Great, lively bar, when you can get it. The constant crowds during peak hours make it difficult, but when its more manageable, you can experiment with some great beers and mingle with patrons of all types. People who like Pony Bar are very loyal, and its worthwhile to find out why.
Great spot! Had the wings and wife had grilled cheese, both were excellent and reasonably priced. Exceptional taplist, recommend pbr boiler maker. Alex was a great bartender, very personable and loaded with local information.
One of my fav places to stop for a great craft brew. Menu is always rotating with local and other beers. Place never fails to have good stuff. Chow is good to keep you going. Just go! 😁
We were staying in Hells Kitchen and popped into Annies for their lunch combo deal at noon. You can get a couple of sliders and a drink for $8.95, we added fries for $2 and for the price it was a good deal. The food, although simple, was nice and freshly made.I would probably return for another lunch if I was in the area again.
This place has such a great atmosphere. The beer selection is huge and has some very nice ales. I had a burger and fries which were excellent. Great for a few drinks or food on a night out.
I guess if you live in NYC, you think this is a good bar because its that hard for you to get out and see whats really out there in the micro-brew or craft brew scene. Four people were in the bar and the bartender still managed to be pretentious and too busy prepping for the evening rush to actually provide decent service and knew nothing about the beer. The cask ale was terrible and nowhere close to a proper temperature (it was too warm ~65-70 degrees). While I went on an apparent Founders theme (all but one tap was Founders) and they do make good beer, there is more to life than one beer company. I guess if youre a hipster who wants to think you know about the craft scene and want to feel like youre part of the hipster scene and feel good, I guess this is the spot for you. as for me, Ill hit up a proper pint somewhere else. Maybe I just went on a bad day.
Cool place, Good food, Good mood~I had fun even though i was underage
Had a nice stop there for lunch. Loved the service and the atmosphere. I thought the tap selection was very diverse and had a lot of local brews.and it was nice to see that they had the impossible burger on their menu for vegans and vegetarians. Would definitely make a stop there again!
As a concept, it is wonderful. Carefully curated American beers rotate through the numerous taps. A semi-exclusive club for those who have tried over 100. A down-to-earth, roughly hewn tavern of sorts. In actuality, its not the perfection it sounds to be, but is still very good. Getting a beer can at times be difficult, in part due to the popularity but also in part due to bartenders also waiting tables and serving food. Some months have weaker beers than others, and the food is a bit on the expensive side for what youre being served. But the strengths outweigh the flaws here, and the unending opportunity to try brews youve probably never heard of is too good to pass up.
Love the atmosphere here! Lots of friendly faces and great workers. Annie’s has an amazing selection of drinks for everyone and there was also live music the night I visited! Will definitely be returning soon.
As a craft beer lover and afficionados, I had to hit up the Pony Bar while in NYC. After walking along the High Line which isnt too far from this place, we decided to check it out after a friend recommended it (hes a regular there). We walked in and immediately fell in love with the place. The atmosphere is casual, theres wood everywhere including barrels which are part of the decor (and furniture) and a nice long bar where people can sit elbow to elbow and hangout. We did just that, and hung out for a good couple of hours.They have two locations and Im not sure how they compare to one another but this one, in Hells Kitchen, was nice and clean. It wasnt all that spacious though and was packed with people the whole time we were there. That area didnt seem to offer too many alternatives, especially for craft beer so we were pretty excited to be able to remain in that neighborhood and we immediately ordered a few rounds of cold ones.One awesome thing which I wish more bars had is their tap screen - behind the bar are two giant televisions which display which beers are on tap (and cask) and it is updated very frequently. Their website also updates in accordance to whats on tap just like the televisions. They also have a brand new mobile app available for both Android and iOS where people can check-in, rate and track their beers and win prizes. Awesome, right?!Their pints are super affordable and their happy hour are between 4:20PM and 5:20PM is great with every pint of beer for $4 making it a great deal, especially for craft beer. Their regular price is $5 a pint as well which is much cheaper than any bar in Boston where I reside.As far as the beers go, they have a ton of local ones but go to great efforts to keep the selection as diverse as possible. They have something like 20-something beers there and have everything from hop-centric ones to porters, stouts and ales. All served very cold and very fresh. Theres nothing super rare there, but then again, I was only there once so who knows.They also have food there but we didnt get any - Nothing on the menu was above $11 though so its all affordable as well and most run at $9 or $10 a plate. From spicy gumbo ($10) to Thai calamari ($10) to a short rib sandwich ($10) and a sirloin burger ($10), Im still not over how cheap it all seems to be. Maybe next time Ill eat there but Id honestly rather make room for the beer.The staff was friendly and was able to let us sample a few of the beers as well. No complaints really, except that, like I said, the place gets packed daily so keep that in mind when you go.
Walking in here brought ideas of what a neighborhood bar should be. Lively, a large beer collection, and some energetic staff. It was kind of cool to see two people on the same night finish their beer challenge. If I remember correctly, they have to have ordered all the types of beer at the bar. Typical burgers and fries available.
Great beer selection and pretty good bar foot.
Shortly after taking your first sip of a delicious pint, youll hear the glorious ding of a bell followed by joyous shouts of New Beer!, which I can only liken to valkyries welcoming one of their fiercest warriors home.What you have experienced is the changing of the guard. See, The Pony Bar only stocks one keg of each beer; meaning that once it runs out its gone and they must rotate in a brand new beer. Ive frequented The Pony Bar numerous times with various groups of friends, and it never disappoints. If you like trying many different kinds of beers (mostly local/domestic), this is the place for you.
Simple. Screens that change as the beers do. Great prices on said beers, ESPECIALLY for New York. Awesome selection. Attentive bartenders. Unpretentious atmosphere. One thing to note: the music was very loud when I was there and we had to do some shouting just to be heard across the table.
I live in Hells Kitchen but Im low income. This is one of the few low-key spots closeby that doesnt make me regret going there when I go to pay the bill. Good food, friendly bartenders, good selection. A bit of an older crowd, its not going to be filled with artists, hipsters, or tourists.
Stopped by while I was waiting for my facial appointment. The food was amazing. The staff was so friendly. Definitely looking forward to going back.
Only tried the beer, didnt stay for food but had an interesting selection of things on draft
This beautiful bar serves up hard to find American craft beer – they pour sample-sized servings for $5 each, so you can try them all. The food is solidly good too.
Interesting crowd was here on a rainy Saturday night. I enjoyed my drinks ajdbthe bartenders were friendly. It is a chill spot if that is what you are looking for. They do have many options on their food menu, so that may bring me back.
Had great reviews and sounded really awesome? Great beer selection and they even had a cask beer. Service ruined this experience! No table service and bartenders didnt really seem interested in serving or have much beer knowledge!
This is a perfect place if you cant decide where to bring your friends or family to eat for a quality dinner. The service is wonderful, and the food are breathtaking. Price are cheaper than expected, thus CP value is raised. This weekend or some evening, come and see why people love this restaurant.
I popped into here on my first snowy night in NYC, it was fairly busy. Which was a shame as it meant I didnt really get opportunity to chat to any of the bar staff which was my aim. The selection of beers was excellent even if it wasnt to my taste.
We stumbled upon this place in Hellscat Annies on our way back from the USS Intrepid museum. We sampled some of the house IPA also some food. The staff were wonderful, also the local people. A Big shout out to Tray our Bar person and Eddie Chan, a lovely person we bumped into in the bar.
Cozy bar, tasty food, and a large selection of rotating beers for $6 a glass. Its a bit of a small bar & doesnt have music but its great if you have a group of friends and want to try some beer over some conversation.
Friday night and the weather outside is telling you to leave the house and start walking. We stopped for a quick cold one at Hellcat Annies Tap Room, and we ended with 3 hours of drinks. Good bar with good vibe. Definitely coming back here.
Very nice cosy place, beer selection is not big but good. Arrive was really good. A little loud but this was a Friday evening. Price was what you expect to pay for craft beer in NYC.
Whenever I find out about another bar that serves craft beer, I smile inside a little bit. I know that the mega-breweries still hold a commanding place in the market, but every time somebody really enjoys their pint of whatever, its that much better for the little guy.Pony Bar not only does that, but keeps it on the American tip, which is really cool too, though I cant help but wonder if they didnt get the idea from Barcade (aka Im too lazy to find out).But either way, this is a very decent bar. Busy, but not overcrowded. Far enough away from Times Square not to be overrun with tourists. Loud but not raucous crowd. I wouldnt seek it out, as there are plenty of other craft beer bars in the city that are similarly good, but if it were my hood, Id be in there quite a bit.
Good local option with a respectable selection of beers at very reasonable prices for Hells Kitchen. Good food, too- genuinely good. Get the short rib grilled cheese.
Im a boy, I dont like beer. I like cocktails. But Im slowly learning to drink beer.The stepped into the pony bar. Seemed chill. Thats a good start.Next, I looked at the extensive beer menu on the wall. Omg, how was I supposed to choose? I guess I could choose it based on alcoholic content- pick the strongest one DUH. Or choose it based on names. I chose some sort of Brooklyn Lager, I figured I should drink some local beer.I didnt know my beer was going to be dark. I dont like dark beers. I should have known that a Brooklyn Lager would be dark! It was quite good though, slightly smoky.I guess next time Ill ask the bartender to help me choose a beer.
They are legendary for their Juicy Lucy burger, with the cheese inside the burger. Their chicken strips are amazing - hand cut and wonderfully crispy breading. It isnt on the printed menu, but you can order a dinner basket. The onion straws are delicious and a giant portion.
I wish I drank more beer, because Pony has a great selection of craft beers on tap that rotate regularly. However, the bartender didnt shoot me a funny look when I ordered a glass of wine. It stays busy pretty much all night, but if you can find a seat, take it and dont move.
Basically NYC beer. Beer is worse than Pony Bar. Same layout as its predecessor. Maybe they changes barrels into tables. Famous wings were good, not great.Response from owner before they delete it: Beer is worse than Pony Bar?That sounds idiotic. Other-half, KCBCand Single-cut not crafty enough for you? Pony bar is still open at 75th street. Go for it.My response to owner - Sounds like you are new to the craft beer game. You get the same NYC beer that I can get at any bar. We left your bar, and walked up to As Is, because of your lacking tap list.Pony Bar currently has: Smuttynose, Founders, Victory, Half Acre, Saranac, Port City, Allagash, Hill Farmstead, Anderson Valley. Thats on top of the easy access NYC beers - Interboro, KCBC, Gun Hill, Brooklyn, Industrial Arts.
Sadly I used to love this place and frequent it anytime I was in Hells Kitchen. Back in June, I attempted to use a gift card to pay for a few beers and eats for my friend and I. They tried to run the card several times, but told me it wasnt going through. So my friend gave them his card, which they charged. I found out later a charge WAS placed on my card after all. After months of calling the restaurant to try to rectify this double billing, they are simply not helping me. I cant ever step foot in there again with their extreme disrespect to customers, and inability to help solve this simple problem.
Dont let the size of this bar fool you. The list of beers on tap changes hourly as one of the many pony kegs runs out. And at $5/beer, you can easily rationalize trying everything on the menu.Love it!
Great bar with a friendly staff. They have a well updated craft beer and cask taps changing often. Decent menu for a quick bite or sandwich.
Exceptional Gastro-Pub in Hells Kitchen. Amazing beer offerings. Fantastic yet simple food menu. Servers would be a plus as there is always a crowd and hard to dine alone.
Nice selection of craft beers - their menu is on Untappd. Looks like your average pub inside though; same goes for food options.
Great beer selection, especially the craft options. Chill vibe and good happy hour. Visit if you’re in the area.
I love this place. Always have a good selection of beers from far and wide - including California, the craft beer capital. Go early as it fills up and little seating available.
One of the best bars in the city (IMHO), certainly the best midtown bar west of 9th avenue. Come here for a fantastic selection of beer on tap (always rotating), and VERY reasonably priced pints.
All beers are $5, they are listed on the menu by ABV, and they have an incredible selection of American microbrews. Hooray for microbrews other than Sierra Nevada & Dogfishead (ew)!The dinner menu is small but the spicy sausage is excellent, as are the home made chips.Gets a little crowded at happy hour but usually thins out early.
Always great beer selections, one of the best places in NYC to sample beers-a-plenty. Given the size of the bar (small-ish) it doesnt get overly crowded (doesnt attract large groups?).
We are in town from St. Louis and walking through Hells Kitchen looking for a fun little place to eat. The atmosphere was great, service was amazing, and the food was absolutely delicious!! Definitely recommend this to anyone that is in the area!
ORDER AT THE BAR. Its written everywhere, but sometimes you just tune out the signs. Dont accidentally sit at a table and expect to be served, you will be waiting until judgement day. Beer selection here is good, a solid mix of styles.
I came here with a friend on New Years Eve and the security ripped us off $20 for the entrance! I do not recommend this place to anyone!
Love Hellcat Annies Tap Room. Traditional US Irish bar. Serves great beer and food. Staff very patient and friendly. Loved it.
Great beer selection and amazing wings! Also had the sweet potato fries w/ maple mustard. Those things were 👌
The selection of drinks were amazing, and the overall atmosphere was great. It seemed like everyone there was having a good time and relaxing. I will definitely come back very soon!
Small pub with limited menu. No table service but the bar staff are friendly. Good selection of beer and upscale bar fare. Good for a bite. Reasonably priced.
Great atmosphere. Good variety of bar food.
I work nearby and its PERFECT way to end the day. Cheap happy hour drinks and great atmosphere. Sometimes it gets a little too crowded for my liking but overall its pretty nice
Decent beer and food (standard pub fair) selection. No table serves so up to the bar to order. Really friendly staff, thanks Chris 2.
I met someone here and we didnt stay long, but they had a well rounded craft beer menu. I was there early, so i have no idea what their prime timeis like, or the food. Friendly staff.
The Pony Bar of old has disappeared, and a new place has appeared nextdoor they has two names, and is claiming to be the new Pony Bar. Beer list is good, but service was terrible. Instead of the old Pony Bar menu its now pizza. The food was cold, and overpirced. Not sure whats going on. But very dissapointed.
My fave bar while staying in Hells Kitchen, friendly, great selection of beers which is constantly updated and decent burgers, highly recommended.
With beer prices creeping up to the $8 a pint mark, this Hells Kitchen watering hole keeps things real with plenty of pints for $5. The rotating selection of American craft brews is unrivaled in this area of town and the room is always packed with hops heads trying to drink their way through 100 labels for a free T-shirt. The food is an afterthought - pretzels and burgers are serviceable but you should knock back a few pints and then head elsewhere for dinner.
Great beer and lovely service. What more can you ask for.
The bartenders were impatient and rude. First time exploring the area on 01/07/17. but saw this bar so stumbled inside. Me and my two friends were looking through yelp on which drinks/food were recommended. Took us awhile to look because of our bad phone receptions; however, the bartenders assumed we were all there to just steal their wifi just because my one friend asked for it to better load her internet. He asked us what to order once and we told them we are trying to figure that out on the phone. Then second time he came he basically kicked us out for just sitting there. Relax dude, noone just want to sit there and just use your wifi at 1am especially when you basically get free wifi anywhere in nyc. Im a bartender too so their actions were unnecessary. Instead of rushing us girls why dont you recommend and help us on your menu if youre that inpatient. Under 10 mins we got mad how rude they were so we got up and left to Rudys which is a much better joint with patient and helpful service. So, save yourself the headache and go to Rudys,
Very loud when the place is hopping. Good selection of craft beer and bartenders serve some good cocktails, didnt try any food. No table service, you order at the bar.
Great place and delicious food 👌
Always a different selection of great craft beers for $5. Cant be the quality and the price. Crazy on Friday and Saturday nights but so worth it for the beer.
Excellent taplist, comfortable bar seating. Would definitely recommend and would encourage anyone to work their way through the tap list to explore some neat stuff.
Great beer. 20 rotating beers on tap. Knowledgeable and friendly service. They seem to care about beer and the customers more than most bars.
Is my go to start a night off right. Fantastic beer selection with awesome bartenders. Typical bar food selection that is high quality.
Nolan and Chris just might be the best bartenders that NYC has to offer! The menu is killer and they serve late. A must for the late night bar scene! Kudos!
Great staff, fair prices :)
Rotating beer selection. Great american beers. All beers always 5 dollars. Better on weekdays because its less crowded. Can get a bit loud but the delicious beers make it worthwhile.
Awesome craft beer bar with great atmosphere.
Beers, Beers, Beers! Although I lived in Hells Kitchen, I didnt really go out and drink in this area. Partly because I wasnt as familiar with the area in comparison to lower Manhattan, but thats not an excuse. I vowed that Id explore my neighborhood, and thus begins my journey to The Pony Bar. The Pony Bar is located right on 10th Ave, between 45th and 46th. Now before you come here, you better like beer, and you better like it a whole lot. Here, there are just loads of beers on tap, and none of them are PBR or Natural Light. From Kona to Troegs, The Pony Bar has it all.Now if youre looking for a quiet place to grab a drink, then the Pony Bar probably isnt for you. This is a spot where you can grab a great beer, and have obnoxiously loud conversations with your friends. Prices are incredibly reasonable, and if you suddenly get the beer munchies, then youre in luck because they serve food here. From finger foods such as potato chips, to full blown meals like gumbo, the world really is yours.Being in Midtown West, youre always fighting for space against tourists. Luckily at the Pony Bar, it isnt too overly crowded with them. I can come inside, grab a beer, and not have to see people walking around with their SRL cameras snapping away at everything. I like beer, and I like The Pony Bar. Perhaps Ill bring my growler next time.
Great dive bar. Friendly bartenders and excellent beer selection. Bonus points for ChiveTV, I could have spent hours mesmerized by the clips being shown.
A happy hour gem with daily specials on a great selection of craft brews. Food is mediocre, as is its Hells Kitchen location. Usually too crowded to get a seat.
Great place to stop and enjoy a dark beer. Void of light was amazing. Fries with sriracha ketchup were addictive and perfect to enjoy with local brews
Youd be forgiven if you looked up from your craft beer and thought you were in Austin. Saddle up on a stool at a barrel or sit at the long, low kids tables or pony up to the bar. They have a good beer selection (Bells Oberon FTW) including cask specialities.
First time in NY. Randomly stopped by and loved it! Pain Killer and wings were amazing. Would definitely come back
Well thought out beer selection, which changes often. Friendly staff. Great Friday special - cheap beers until leg runs out.
Good beer selection, ok whiskey choices, damned good chicken avocado sandwich, good music choices, and great bartenders. Definitely will return.
Fantastic craft beer bar with a unique and frequently rotating selection. Kitchen serves up standard pub food (read: lots of fried) with a couple twists.
Great selection of craft beers and great menu
Dust off your button up shirt and prepare to enjoy some tasty craft beers with your fellow beer snobs... Can get really crowded but service has always be exceptional... I like the back corner... it makes the recluse in ne almost feel at home... come to think of it I should come here more... My mother always told me I was an alcoholic... Do not want to prove her wrong... I say I say I say...
Excellent food, fantastic beer selection, great atmosphere, and friendly staff make this a good place to stop for a couple brews and some pub grub. Quality!
One of the better beer bars in Hells Kitchen. Definitely gets crowded. Good food too. Come when they have special tastings!
Great beer selection. Went with some friends for a drink. Great service and environment. We will be returning!
Nice bar. Thought beers were a bit expensive. But got decent buffalo chicken and bar staff were very attentive.
One of my favorite craft beer bars in NYC. Great vibe, always has good music, and the beer selection is phenomenal.
Nice draft beer selection, love their nachos, though their food menu is a bit on the pricey side. Would go again.
Apologies for previous post, submitted in error through google maps (more haste, less speed). Didn’t realise this happened. Called in for lunch and drink after uss intrepid visit. Could have chilled there for rest of afternoon, alas nyc beckoned. Great place and food. Very welcoming.
Great pub. Good bar food and service. The set up for Covid is comfortable and safe. Highly recommended.
Great service, drinks, and wings,!
Had a great time great crowd the DJ there was playing good music the crowd is a little younger which is fine and theres 99 Cent Pizza right around the corner from the place. Not to mention the fact that stay open till about 4 a.m. .
Amazing atmosphere and drink selection. Service was great and I highly recommend it to anyone in the area. Will be returning ASAP.
Great drink selections and really good sandwiches. Has a nice local feel to it. Definitely worth a visit.
Proper bar. Good selection of beers, excellent tunes and the staff where helpful and professional. If your in Hells kitchen just go here.
Pretty good selection of beers and good. All in all a good place. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a cool place to go.
Best place to go if you want to feel like a local. Friendly service and a great *soundtrack.* Music volume such that you can actually have a conversation.
Small venue. Very friendly staff. Many tv screens.
Best bar in the area (and UES). Quality beer for quality prices. Everything on the menu is great as well. Love the pickles!
Nice beer selection, food is pretty good (but miss the White Castle style steamed burgers)
The former bar of Irish mobster Mickey Spillane! So much history in this neighborhood. But safely, the current residents know none of it. Bring back old NY!
Great beer selection. Constantly changing but you can always find good stuff on tap.
Nice, unpretentious place with hip bartenders...
Really liked the beer selection when I came here. I like trying new beers and this place makes that easy. Didnt get to try the food.
Fantastic place for a drink and food. Great beer selection!
Excellent, craft beer selection, if a little small. Confoundingly inexpensive. Reasonable bar food available. Helpful staff.
Cool atmosphere and great craft selection but 8 ounce pours for 7 dollars even for craft beer is a little small for the price
You will love the craft beer selections . . They have some powerful stuff 9% plus . Go early on Friday . . They get crowded.
Awesome selection of beer. Prices are reasonable ranging from $5-$7. Try the gold lager. Defintely something different.
Great rotating beer selection, surprisingly good food. Not awesome at keeping the place a reasonable temperature in the summer.
Good price , good drinks, staff was cool , nachos were cold
Great value for their sandwiches - the beef rib grilled cheese and the cuban were both superb. Nice drafts too.
Very chill place. Ive been here 3 times and it seems like the one bartender is doing everything. I think having a server would speed up the flow a bit.
Only place Ive found serving Brewdog. Burger was excellent. Music was decent. My new go-to with the lady.
Good place and good bartenders! Owner Pat is a great guy that owns a few places in the nabe! Like to support him.
A really cool local dive with lots of unique tap selections. Great ambiance, decent service, very fun atmosphere.
The bartender was very knowledgeable on the taps on hand. My husband enjoy talking with him about the beers that they serve.
Great beers, great staff, great atmosphere. I would totally recommend this place to anyone looking for a welcoming place to sip a couple!

2022-09-19We came to hellcat annie’s for a late lunch during our stay in New York. We were greeted kindly and offered drinks immediately. We thought the prices for the location were very reasonable and the food was lovely. We had burger and fries, 2 beers and 2 vodka lemonades. Would recommend this place 100% :))

2022-04-27Ive only been on a break from, so Ive never been able to try their beer selection, but the food has been fairly good. Ive thoroughly enjoyed their wings! But the service is just so slow and the food take a while to come out. I wish I could enjoy the experience more, but I dont enjoy chasing down wait staff to get attention.

2021-02-19Me and my friend walked by this place and stopped for a burger lunch randomly. They have big outdoor seating area with TV that shows sports and huge selection of beer.Service was outstanding and burger was really amazing. Burger was $13.95 plus $1 for cheese and $2 to get side salad or sweet potato fries or onion rings. It was very satisfactory and ended up with nice simple lunch stop.

2022-07-26STAY AWAY!!! STEAL from you and OWNER is nuts!!! (Both Hellcat Annie’s and Scruffy Duffy owned by same person). I used to go in there frequently for the food and drinks (it was good)…spending a few hundred dollars over the past few years.Stealing: They changed the tip when they processed the charge. (I didn’t tip cuz it was a pickup order.) I know it because I checked a few days later and it didn’t match my credit card statement. I even went back to the bar to notify the owner and he never called me (reason for this post originally). Then after posting this, the owner texted me directly. Owner says it could have been his own mistake but that is even worse if that is the case (just blanket filling in tips to patrons).Owner: This owner is off his rocker. He owns both Scruffy Duffy and Hellcat Annie’s. The texts and every comment he makes to a bad review should suffice to prove it.

2022-07-13The worlds not oursBut faster than the rainWe cut the nightWere random bullets, loveShot by some drunken GodGuilty only, of growing oldHours like fires, burning our beliefsSoon the sun will rise up and sew us in its dreamsForgetting that were sailors, without wind in our sailsTwins by the heartbeat until the morning brakesDismissed in dizziness, and begging for moreHave we ever noticed that nothing last forever?Faces toward the sky, cause the unknown is sublimePrinting every hour in Polaroids of mineThe worlds not ours

2019-10-31We stop here before heading to a company function in the area. The place is on the smaller size but it wasn’t bad on a Thursday evening. They do have a wonderful beer selection if you are into craft beer. Actually found a really good sour that night. We are also fried pickles fans but unfortunately their pickles were lacking.
