Nice little English pub. Located in a great location this is a very authentic British pub serving some English dishes and nice beers among another things. Went here for dinner and our food arrived quickly and everything tasted good. The servers and the hostess were friendly and the place had a great vibe.
Ive been looking for somewhere to have a nice British Sunday roast with yorkshire puddings and this place definitely delivered! Ive really missed them since moving back to America. The food was very good, it exceeded my expectations. The roasts are a little pricey but they do give you a lot so it felt worth it. The dining area was very pleasantly decorated and lighted very nicely. We had no wait for a table and service was very quick. They have plenty other things on the menu that I want to try so Ill definitely be back!
What an absolute treat this was to find. Easily located just off Park Ave on 29th Street, we chose to troll a few blocks from our Sunday brunch to carry on the days spirits. Once you walk through the doors, its the UK old school pub feel. Low ceilings, dim lighting and English decor down to Churchills portraits around. Great bartender (the Irish man, sorry I forgot his name😪), jovial atmosphere and perfect size venue for intimate gatherings. Food is served here but I havent tried it yet. Heard there is a treasured Rhubarb pie here too!!! Will be returning for some of that.
Genuine British pub, if a somewhat dialed up (the redcoat at the door is a little on-the-nose). The staff tend to be British and/or Irish and the food is 100% English pub, including the Yorkshire pudding, the sausages, and beans with breakfast. Cozy, spacious, and a full range of draft beers.
Good selection of beers, cider and wineThe English pub classics like bangers and mash and the Meat and ale pies were excellent. Have been back now multiple times always very enjoyableWell worth a visit
A fine English pub, with a fair amount of selection on tap, and enough food items to comfortably justify having dinner. Personally I would have liked to see more lagers then IPAs, but there was enough selection that everyone in my party had something satisfying to drink. The food selection was decent for both meat eaters and vegetarians as well. The staff was available, polite, but never bothered us. All in all, I would be happy to return.
I loved the atmosphere here, and the service was great too. It reminds me exactly of an English pub, which is awesome. I highly recommend it for the experience. That said, the food there could be a little better.
Awesome bartender! She made an amazing whiskey sour! The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Lovely place for a few drinks with great company or alone!
Staff is friendly. Food was okay. Burgers were decent. Probably a better drinking happy hour spot. BB
Needed a Reservation but the lovely lady upfront squeezed us in. We had 1.15min to eat. Which was plenty of time. The food was great and service was fast even with them being understaffed.
We came in 2019 and had a great time and an excellent meal. Tonight was a different matter. The pub was decorated beautifully but there was no atmosphere, no Christmas tunes and it all felt very rushed. The meal quite frankly was very poor. Roast potato’s and Yorkshire pudding very over done. You could only choose 1 veg, I chose sprouts. They where like rocks, inedible. Watching what was left by other customers they couldn’t eat them either. The stuffing was sloppy and there was no Christmas pudding on the Christmas menu. A waste of money and sadly won’t be going back. Nicky Sabin UK.
Good British food and atmosphere. Wandered in looking for a world cup qualifying match and the bartender was incredibly helpful in finding the match and putting it on the TV.
Awesome place to have a drink and relax, nice atmosphere great crowd. My bartender was RAMIRO he was super friendly and fast. It was my first time and I definitely come back. I recommend this place.
Artichoke fries with aioli. Pay the hostess to seat you. The greatest app ever. Do it! Perfect salt v sweet!
Friendly bartenders. Draft selection is solid. Kitchens open til, so perfect for that industry after-work bite. Might become my regular spot.
This is a great place to visit. Especially if your missing a little piece of English food. Great selection friendly staff what more can you ask for?
We got the mushrooms, beef and Guinness pot pie. Tasted good. Beer selection was limited. Overall good atmosphere.
Wish I could give 6 stars! Fun bartender and great vibe. We will definitely be back next time we’re in the city.
We were looking for a different restaurant but ended up at The Churchill Tavern—and Im glad we did. The atmosphere was just what we wanted. It was dimly lit and cozy, perfect for my wife and me. The beer was delicious too. The highlight was probably having the bagpiper from the upstairs party come down and play for us!The food was okay but nothing special. I got the fish and chips, which was fine but I wouldnt get it again. My wife got the cheese platter. It came with crackers, but bread would have been better.If youre looking for a pub atmosphere, this is your place.
Felt authentic, and had the British feel of a pub. Food was decent and the draft option were good aswell.
Another bar that feels like a bar. Themed with stuff you might of forgotten about since high school. Cool enough spot for a beer.
They didnt check the vaccine pass for anyone in our group, which is really concerning and we also could smell smoke in the bar.They also go all in on Churchill and British monarchy, which can be off-putting for some people.
The place we can feel the charm of tavern. Good for us to get some tasteful dishes at late night. And Italian pasta -penne and ravioli - we had are pretty good :)
If you’re looking for a quality English pub this is it! The fish and chips are perfect and the ambience is just right. Highly recommend the sticky pudd.
Mediocre at best and horribly disgusting at worst. What a weird kitsch filled- plaid lined- British comfort food spot. Winston Churchills voice is play in the bathroom
What a classy and proper British pub in the eye-pleasing NoMad neighborhood. It’s not the fanciest or the newest bar in the town but it certainly offers its style to the visitors—which is well amplified by its great beer selection.
We tried this for the first time. Service was adequate. We found out inadvertently that some staff had called off sick. There was a loud English soccer game being broadcast in the background. My salad was good with big shrimp, but the cook forgot the dressing.
Great bartender, Charlie is a Gem! Shepards Pie was great as well!
Warm, cozy, old fashioned pub feel with festive Christmas decorations. Good food, good vibes, good service, and you can sit at a booth.
One of the best flatiron bars. Open till 4am! Ramero is one of the finest bartenders there. The food is delicious and the late-night menu which is available till 2am is solid. One of my favorite spots in NYC.
Proper local. Very British. Great service. Excellent taps. Sports oriented. Lively and friendly at the bar.
The atmosphere is unmatched. A cold beer in my hand, some football on the telly and food in front of me theres nothing better. The server bartender could have been far more attentive otherwise it would be five stars. Theres werent many people demanding things so he could have done better. Other than that I highly recommend.
Nice place but dining inside, its too dark to see ur food! They place me in d mid-corner across d bar, too dark with only a candle in a cup lit as light, nothing support d light on d table but others table light that I have to open my phone to cut my steak and pick my food.But my steak taste good!Beer price: a little higher than other bar.This bar is not for minority, though they employ one. Just an observation...
Great for casual post-work drinks. Fun Churchill-themed decor and good space (especially during COVID). Waiters/bartenders are great- very fun and friendly, will make sure you have a good time.
We used to visit NYC annually until the pandemic interfered with our plans in 2020. In October, 2021, we were happy to be able to go back and visit the Churchill Tavern again. We usually stay just down the street, so its a good watering hole before or after jumping on the 6 train.We were very happy to see that they survived the shutdowns. On our first visit this trip, the bartender Blahine was extra kind. Sinead, the manager (?), stopped by and noted that she recognized us as previous customers from our previous visit in 2019, which was very kind.Although we didnt eat at Churchill this trip, we do recommend it. Great traditional Sunday roast and other British pub fare. We hope to be back very soon!
I had a blast. First time going. Love it. People were friendly, bartenders made the drinks great, music was great, and seating was awesome. Recommending this bar to you all.
If I could give this any lower, I would. Without a doubt one of the worst meals I have ever been given - so bad that we sent it back. Not a single part of the ‘roast dinner’ was roasted. The meat was greasy, the Yorkshire puddings were freezing cold in the middle, the potatoes carrots were clearly tinned and swimming in oil, and the gravy was equally vile.On top of this, we got told that someone had to go to the shop to get apple sauce as they’d run out (why tell us this??) and the waitress was beyond rude.If you’re looking for a decent roast, this is not the place.
A good old British pub that serves a Sunday roast on Sunday (of course). Lives up to expectation of a local pub sunday roast - which actually is not that easy to find in Manhattan
This bar is great vibes! Get your beer in a amazing decorations and go pee while listening to Churchill :)
Amazing place, and amazing staff, especially the bartender Brian with his sexy Irish accent 🤩. Highly recommend Churchill burger.
Awesome pub. Great service, real handmade chips with salt and vinegar, and all the Christmas spirit. Churchill speeches in the toilets are a gem. Highly recommend.
This place is wonderful. As an englishman in New York it has some lovely features reminding me of home. The food is so good I cant praise enough .. get down there and have a pint and a snack well worth it
Very welcoming, lovely food, great roast dinner and lovely Guinness, recommended
Love it! This is a legit Brit pub with an awesome Sunday brunch! And, super cool & friendly staff especially Hailey. They have built out a very comfy outdoor seating area as well. We went all-in for the Traditional Sunday Roast and selected the roast beef w/ horseradish cream. Its a very generous 2-slice portion of tender roast beef with roast potatoes, veggies and Yorkshire pudding, with a rich gravy. It was easily enough for the two of us, but we were glad we tried the onion soup as well, it rivals the French! All around an awesome way to spend a long, Sunday afternoon. Go!
Great little English bar. Worth a visit for food or just a refreshment.
British Commemorating Pub which offers exclusive British beers and cuisine
Great atmosphere with lovely holiday decorations. Once a month they have a comedy night on the 2nd floor.
Friendly, fun, good food. This is the place you go for to catch up with your friends while strolling around town. Great atmosphere, low din of noise in the background but nice, not obnoxious. Kid friendly but kids were busy with coloring, etc and not screaming bloody murder. Food was great, staff is super accommodating. Ill definitely go back when in town!
If you’re on 28th and need a drink this is a good spot to grab one at. I expected the good beers and whiskey selection, but had a good summer drink menu
Cute place! We had a Christmas party there this past year and it was all decorated and very pretty little pub!
A great after work spot - and one we trekked back to during the pandemic, even without an office, just because we missed it and it felt like home.Good beer selection, excited for it to be like the old days soon.
I have lived in NYC over 2 years and only just discovered this place! I wish I did sooner.If you want an amazing, cozy pub with British home comforts this should be your go to!Right from entering the place, it is very COVID safe. Taking temperatures, contact tracing, spaced out tables, masks, sanitizer.The dark haired young girl serving us sorry I forgot her name, she was lovely. So friendly, accommodating, welcoming.Decor is so lovely and christmassy, and music is great.We had 2 extra guests and no problem!The bathrooms are so cool, they play Winston Churchill speeches.Now onto the best part. Drinks choices are great! I got Strongbow cider and blackcurrant, prosecco and a jagerbomb - delicious and standard NYC prices.But my gosh the food, WOW.We started with scotch eggs and they were so tasty, the best scotch eggs we ever had. So fresh, hot and flavorsome.I then had fish and chips with mushy peas and beans. Wow, best fish and chips Ive had in NYC! The chips dont taste like chip shop chips but they were lovely nonetheless. The fish was great and batter very nice!The beans were Heinz beans too, yum!Others in my party got burgers, beef and Guinness pot pie and curried chips - all were delicious. Oh and dessert - sticky toffee pudding with ice cream was lovely.The only improvements I could give:- Less salt on the nacho chips that come with the spinach and artichoke dip.- Less cheese on the stilton burger as its strong cheese.- Pastry of the pie could have been better, flakier etc.BUT these are minor points and I am only giving this feedback because I will be coming here all the time :) !! I give this place 5 stars and I cannot wait to come back here to try the whole menu, and the Sunday roast :)
Cozy English Tavern inspired by one of the greatest leaders of our time. Youll even hear a lovely message from him while you tinkle!
Nice place for after office drinks. It gets packed and loud so make sure to get early if you have a 4+ party. You can also call in for reservations. Specially large beer selection on bottles, not so much on tap.Food is ok for a pub/bar style, but Id skip food altogether and just do the drinks.Second floor is nice as well, sometimes a bit empty if you get there on the earlier side.
Lovely vibe, good drinks and food. Brought wrong order initially but changed it without issue
After 7pm we got a different waitress who was horribly rude to us. She looked miserable working there and when she brought the check she took away my friends unfinished drink. When he told her about it she started arguing with us saying it was already empty and came back with an empty glass to prove her point. She did bring a replacement but without a word of an apology or even a smile.
Good pub grub with a Churchillian theme and a loyal following of UK expat customers. I saw England v Denmark play in the UEFA 2021 semifinals there back in July. What a great crowd!
Was there for dinner yesterday. Social distancing not observed. Was seated 1 foot from another group. Complained to server who reported this to management. As we left the said they were sorry for that condition. Hopefullly I won’t be “sorry”. The medium rare cheeseburger was well done and dry. Coffe was tepid. Not a place for me to ever visit again. RVC doesn’t lack for good places.
This little gem is home from home. Very accommodating, and a very warm welcome. We had Christmas lunch today and couldnt fault it. It was really nice to have proper food, a real break from burgers. Clean and cosy. It was decorated out for Christmas with lots of lights and beautiful wreaths. Well worth a visit
Very nice place for lunch or drinks. Very good service and typical British dishes alongside more US options like the hamburger. Warm atmosphere on Friday evenings making The Churchill a great option for drinks with friends or colleagues.
A slice of Little Britain in the heart of New York! A range of beers available on tap. Owner is a Brit and knows how to keep it on point. Very LGBT friendly and welcoming.Food available is very nice - make use of the upstairs corner which overlooks the street for a separated dining area if preferred or a more pub feel downstairs.Ordered the beef roast dinner and I can say it is delicious and brought back many memories of the UK!!Upstairs can be hired and has a separate bar.
Amazing Christmas decorations!! The food is good and is appropriately priced. They have good lunch specials. The location is superb. The drinks are good. Service is very nice - on time, good etiquette and very helpful. A good experience with friends or family.
Great place for a casual drink. Irish pub vibe paired with a bit of class. Good for mixed groups.
They are so nice here. Food was good, England style dishes. It was World pride day and they were very accommodating for anything and everything. The air was not working and it was extremely warm in there, but beside that, it was a dark wood, cozy lovely place. I would highly recommend it and I would definitely go there again.
Good ambiance. Good food. Variety of beers and spirits.
Lovely private places to sit, nicely dimly lit cozy corners, and a fine collection of beers. I liked that the TV monitors were not blaring but its really better without them. Who wants to watch TV when trying to talk in a bar?
The Churchill is an excellent bar/restaurant. The owner is a former set designer and a Brit so the atmosphere really feels like an authenticate British pub.The staff is extremely friendly. Drinks and food are great and moderately priced. Make sure to order the fried artichoke!
A pretty good place to have brunch. The food is decent in terms of pricing and taste. I had a networking event, and they were very accommodating with our private event.Great theme, and the decor matches quite well. Serves artisanal cocktails that adhere to the theme. The best part are the bathrooms, which have Churchills speeches playing over!
Visited with my wife. It felt like we were back in London again. A beautifully decorated café and restaurant - gorgeous across several floors. We were here around Christmas - the decorations were just perfect, as was the background music. The food as good (especially the pasta in garlic-wine sauce) and very reasonably priced. Very friendly personnel too. Favorite restaurant in New York!
Great bar that also serves delicious food. This is a good-looking bar with nice ambiance, taking a step above a regular pub in my book. I would certainly come back here. If you get hungry, be sure to order fried artichokes, sliders and a kale salad (especially if you are on a health streak - surprisingly, it actually taste good!). Drinks are pretty good and they have a good selection of whiskeys and scotch. Also, if you want to have a sit-down meal, they do have a table section in the back, although I would get there rather early as it does get full pretty quickly. The service is not very speedy, but the food and drinks are worth it.
Very classic style English breakfast! Yummy
Awesome vibe here, very tasteful pub. Had a burger which was great, will def be going back to try the authentic English dishes in the other reviews. Beautiful Christmas decor.
The only reason why I didnt give 1 star is because we went on Christmas day and I dont know if this venue usually do a roast on every other day. We had the roast and it really wasnt good at all. The chocolate mouse I had was good, I would have that again but I definitely would not have roast. My partner had an apple crumble that was as crumbly as baby food. It wasnt a crumble. I was also disappointed when the staff couldnt move us to 1 of many other available table for 2. Something Ive never experienced before from any other restaurant. It is safe to say I have had more helpful service from other restaurant staff before. The drinking area sounded like it had a great atmosphere but I had my back to the room, so Im sure it would be great for a drink but I wont be eating from there before other places.
Pretty awesome watering hole / bar in midtown. Definitely has a good after work crowd. Went during Christmas time and the decor was amazing for the holidays. The food is great as well for a pub. Definitely recommend to check out if in the area.
I felt as though I was in a London gastro boozer when we visited a few days ago. A great place for a quick pint and good service from the bar tenders. The other thing reminding me of London were the expensive prices. A little too expensive for us so we only stopped for one.They have tables available both downstairs and upstairs if you want to try the food. The exterior is currently a bit obscured by building construction work outside the premises.
Great unassuming pub to have lunch. Great lunch specials for food and drinks(especially for that part of the city) Service was fast and friendly. Food was very good. Loved the dark, warm pub atmosphere. Will be back many times
Great food and atmosphere. One of the most authentic British you’ll get over here. Sunday roast was excellent
Fun bar with great choice of mixed drinks & beer. A lot more space than it looks from the outside. Theres is an upstairs bar with some cool rooms more private rooms also. Would come here again. Happy hours from 12 to 7
Reasonable drinks and great crowd!
Cool chill bar with British/Churchill mastalgia. Stop by the bathrooms, where you get to hear Churchill giving a speech over the intercoms. The prices were very reasonable, and the fish sticks appetizer was really good. It didnt seem to crowded on a Friday night, and I prefer it that way. Plenty of TVs to watch sports on as well.
Spent thanksgiving here and loved it from the moment we walked in, staff were very busy but still had time to be lovely thank you
Great English pub. Imported beers. Sunday roast. Warm and cozy vibe
Bloody expensive, Youngs Double Chocolate x 3 UK price, draught ales, minimum x 2 UK prices. UK beer is highest taxed (including Duty) inEurope, excluding Scandinavian countries, and is imported tax free, excluding US taxes. Consequently, prices are astronomically high.
I really want to like this place - I really do, but the service really ruined our experience. During the Christmas time, the decoration is BEAUTIFUL and I was in awe the entire time. However, our waitress was the worst I have ever experienced in my life. First of all, she was very judgey on what we were ordering. Even though we told the hostess we were only there for drinks, the waitress kept asking when we were going to order food. Since we were going to stay awhile for to ring in the new year (we were there NYE), we decided to get some food anyway. When we ordered, she was very condescending/judgey as well. We read straight off the menu and ordered their chips. When we did, she went Oh you mean fries?. Yes... but arent we in a British PUB?! The waitress forgot half of our orders and never apologized when we asked several times (FYI, the bar was maybe a quarter full). We were not sure if the bar would give complimentary champagne at midnight (Ive seen many bars do this) so we asked if we could order champagne. Not only did she make us order two bottles of champagne (kept telling us it was too small a bottle), she decided not to tell us that the bar was going to prepare complimentary glasses of champagne for everyone. So here we are, with two bottles of champagne (of which we only finished one), with extra glasses of champagne. We werent the only ones who ended up buying bottles of champagne.Atmosphere of the bar is great, especially during Christmas time. The bathrooms are whimsical (there is a speaker that plays recordings of Winston Churchill). Service is TERRIBLE.
We stopped in for a drink before our dinner reservations down the street. Drinks were good but service was terrible. After we got our drink no one came by our table in 45 minutes. The waitress was sitting on her phone the entire time we were there and had to go up to the bar to ask for our bill so we wouldnt be late to dinner.
Qr menu, and a big one outside. Meat pie every tasty, shepherds pie was good too.fine selection of pints.
Incredible venue, incredible food, incredible staff.They remembered our names and made effort to keep checking in on us. Sinead went above and beyond to squeeze in 2 last min guests with us for xmas day. Could have stayed in the pub alllll day long, with such a warming atmosphere. If we come back to newyork again the churchill will be our first stop!!! There really is no other place to spend xmas in New York than this jewel of a place!!!! 5 stars isnt enough!!!
As a Brit in the US I loved coming here, I liked all the British decor & knick knacks. Service was good and I was pleased that they have Strongbow cider on tap, I had a couple of pints & it felt like summer.I had to have the fish and chips, it was nothing like a proper British fish & chips from a fish & chip shop, the mushy peas were watery but as pub grub it was ok, I scoffed the lot. Not sure what type of fish it was though, seemed a bit on the mushy side.
Nice staff, but is narrow and gets very crowded and loud downstairs. Ask to go upstairs! The stairway is a bit hidden, but thats a good thing. Up there, there is more room, huge cushy chairs, attentive bartenders, and good drinks!
We were invited to the Churchill Tavern to celebrate and it was fun and exciting! All of the staff were very helpful and accommodating and it looked like the other patrons were enjoying themselves and all enjoying their food and drinks. Thank you!
This is a great place for just after work drinks or dinner with friends. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. If you can appreciate things with a British feel, youll love this place. Great beer selection too.
Superb atmosphere especially at Christmas. Really good and authentic food with a great beer selection. Lovely coat spot for a bite to eat during the week and a great crowd at the weekend. I don’t remember seeing TVs at this place which is a nice change.
Authentic English pub. Great roast on the weekend with home made Yorkshire puddings.Nice beer selection and a real British feel if you’re feeling nostalgic or missing home.
Place was pretty empty, but had a warm/welcoming atmosphere, good food and drink, and wasnt terribly priced. If I come back to NYC Ill be returning.
Churchill Tavern is a cool, chill bar in a location where a lot of the bars are more uppity. The crowd is always having fun but never really rowdy. The drinks are solid, although the specialty cocktails are $$.Split artichoke fries & Mac and cheese with my friend, and it was a ton of food and both extremely delicious, although I wouldnt pair the artichoke fries with truffle aioli, as it becomes very heavy and oily then.Began to frequent this bar before I left this area. The service is fast and friendlyWeird Irish history lessons in the bathroom, though, even though this is an English bar...
Its a cool chill place I like to visit them once in a while their beer selection are tasty, the fish and chips are the best and the Mac and cheese with bacon is pretty darn good. It was not too salty but just right.
Service was great drinks were great but the deserts take the price. The IIWW propaganda in the bathroom was weird lmaooooOh and the wing sauce was delicious!!!!
A lot, a lot, slot of Churchill. Even the mens restroom were playing Churchills speech. Ha-ha, my British pals love the place, very authentic British food, nice drink, friendly staff. My only complaint would be the restroom is not enough, when its busH theres a long line.
During the icy depth of the polar vortex, I heard we were meeting for lunch at the Churchill Tavern in Manhattan, I expected kitschy. However, instead of mimicking a Disneyworld replica, Churchill Tavern felt like an honest to god warm inviting English pub. I had the soup and sandwich special. The sandwich was fine, smoked turkey, brie and granny smith apple on flatbread. The soup, a simple beef vegetable, was a nicely flavored slightly spicy warm hug against the cold. Service was competent, charming complete with a UK accent. Overall, an really nice experience.
Bartender tonight wouldnt even look me in the eyes no matter how hard I tried to wave her down (I know she saw me bc she would answer the person next to me) and at one point asked my FRIEND if her drink was going on my card. -___- Tip to management: Hire respectable people. That dont have race issues🙄✋🏾
Hands down, my favorite pub in town. It feels like a home walking in - the friendliest staff and bartenders. Lovely fish n chips, and apps are fabulous. Plus, cider. Always a plus.And best of all, you can pretend youre in London, right in the heart of NoMad.Oh! Dont forget to visit the loo. Im not kidding.
Cozy English pub with wood paneling, low ceilings, and innumerable tributes to Winston Churchill. Good selection of drinks and surprisingly tasty food. Be sure to stop into the bathrooms where you can hear recordings of Churchills speeches.
The owner of this place reportedly owns 2 other pubs in the area and without knowing that, I already labeled those 3 as my favorites in the area. I wont say the names in case I am wrong about them, but I can say with certainty this place is special. A cozy bar with low ceilings, open to the street that is Winston Churchill themed. They have his speeches playing in the bathrooms at all times.
Lovely bar. Ive been going there for at least five years now. The top reason I return is the atmosphere is chill, relaxed. Definitely a homely feel. You can carry a conversation which will not be drowned out by obnoxious music, a rarity at many places. Our company had a few small events which were met with extreme accommodation and excellent service.Not surprisingly it gets crowded on Friday evenings but most other times theres plenty of space for a standing pint or table. Service has almost always been quick, never felt purposefully neglected. Place gets busy, service response time slows. It happens, but rarely.Though Im American my British friends say that it is very reminiscent of a traditional English pub given the food selection, alcohol selection, and odds n end things on the walls. If youre an expat youll be in the company of your fellow former countrymen on most occasions, especially Sundays from what Ive seen.Prices are typical of midtown. Even smaller plates are not cheap but you can see this by visiting their website and browsing the menu. Quality isnt the highest and I wish theyd offer a bit more of a selection but overall its alright. That said the devils on horseback are amazing.Theres a few TVs at the bar continuously playing sports but I cant remember if they raise more during World/Euro Cup games. In any case, go Germany!
Ive been to this place a bunch of times for work events. Food sub-par. Service horrendous. They left an inflated tip on my card one time and I had to contest it. The Winston Churchill theme is cute, but go some else.
Great food, atmosphere, and music! Fish & chips were ridiculously good. Grateful for the non-alcoholic drinks.
We hired the upstairs bar for our event and it was awesome. The staff are really friendly and they ran a great evening. The guests also really liked the party food platters.
We went for Christmas Dinner, the pub was beautifully decorated. I was feeling homesick for the U.K. but the great food and wonderful hospitality made me feel at home. Thank you for making Christmas very special.
Cozy atmosphere and great food
This place is amazing. Our 6 day experience in NYC for our honeymoon ended in this place and we wished we had found it earlier. The best full english in New York so defo try it out. The bacon is the real thing. Staff was amazing , very friendly and talkative. We loved Churchill and will defo return once were back to NY.
Good food and friendly service.
Cute, fun, busy place. Very cozy bar. Good selection of drinks and lots of options on tap! Definitely will be coming back (:
Friendly service, kind people, and tasty food. An elevated local.
I love the vibe and I dig the place. Buyer beware the wine by the glass. They are all reasonable, and then one(I think the Cab) os expensive. Spicy chic meatballs = yum
Churchill Tavern is a pretty cool bar in an area with not enough of them. Themed as a British pub, its dimly lit, theres a lot of wood paneling, and plenty of seating. Service is friendly and mostly efficient. Youd expect a bar mocked up to be a British pub to have more British beer, but they did have a few solid options like Fullers ESB. A few other choices on tap--like Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier Dunkel and Hofbraus Pilsner--are solid without even getting to the bottled beers, so maybe I shouldnt complain. On the other hand, why not bring in a cask or two?Ive been here several times and its a good watering hole overall. The one time I ate here, I got the namesake Churchill Burger. This comes with stilton cheese, sauteed onions, and fries. The burger was properly cooked (medium rare) and pretty large, the chilton cheese was nice and salty, while caramelized onions wouldve likely worked better than just sauteed (my preference). It was a great burger, and exactly what I wanted at the time.This isnt an authentic British pub, but it is a great bar in NYC. Prices are reasonable too. I havent been here for awhile, but writing this review makes me want to stop by again. That says something very good about Churchill that is line with real British pubs: theyre homey places to gather with friends and have a great time.
Great for happy hours. Nice service, great food!
Ive been coming here since it opened. Super comfortable, good food and drink selection. Crowd can get a bit overly British (and american) finance bro-ish at times, but its usually balanced out by regulars and locals.
I love this place? Im from out of town so Ill probably wont be back for a while but the drinks are good, the food is tasty, and the bathrooms play Churchill speeches for a unique pooping experience.
The Churchill Tavern is an awesome bar with great drinks and good vibe.The bartenders are amazingly nice and the food is good as well.Feels good when you walk-in and you feel better after a couple of drinks.
So lovely! My husband found this spot and I’ve fallen in love with it too. It’s very cozy and British. Around Christmas, they have the most wonderful decorations inside.
Very dark, and busy for The football. The sound wasnt clear so you couldbt hear commentary very well.Food not up to much, fries were burnt, burger could have used salad. Draught beers could have done with being colder. Bill was wrong, and dessert was inedible, when questioned this was rectified and 18%gratuity added to the new bill.(wasnt on the first bill) because heaven forbid they should lose their tip for poor service.
Great place for decent food. Staff was friendly and helpful. Got a bit loud but it was a Friday night after all.
Total ripoff. Charged me 4 dollars per CLUB SODA. It wasn’t bottled - it came from the spout. My friend got house wine and it was 13 a glass. Automatic 20 percent gratuity. A couple rounds of beers turned out being 40 a person. Never again.
Good beer selection, service seemed to be lacking. The bar tenders dont seem to listen/wait and hear your order. I will go back again and see if that was an one off experience or if its the norm.
This place has potential however, unknowledgeable staff, long wait for everything and bad temperature food kinda took our smiles away 😩The food were not traditional and def can’t compare to my mama’s but what topped it all off was the desert we had browny and sticky tuffee pudding which was hard and cold and just not done right
Solid pub fare with friendly staff. Lots of cozy nooks and crannies so that its easy to have a more private dinner or socialize with the other patrons.
British style pub with English entrees which is rare. A little dark in the back area but overall a good place to relax with friends and coworkers.
Great food, albeit a bit unhealthy, and good drinks. Definitely made me think I was back in the UK drinking a brew at the pub watching futbol. Highly recommended!
The food was as good as advertised, if u miss your English roast. It was quiet when I went so service was good. Definitely worth checking out
A local fixture mostly catering to the after work crowd, it unpretentiously delivers what it advertises: traditional British pub grub and a good selection of draught British and American brews.
I really enjoyed the place. Maybe because it was all festive with lights or maybe it is just a fun place to hang out with a group of people. We were on the upper level, in the back room that was very pretty. I will come back for sure.
Terrible service, took forever to get someone’s attention, place is a mess, dirty af with dirty dishes piled up at the front door.. disgusting.
Feels like a traditional British pub (minus the music, which thankfully wasnt too loud). Good beer selection, good food, friendly and attentive service.
Nice inside. Still decorated and looks good. Burger with egg came out with two perfect eggs on top. Will probably go back
Food was lovely and tasty. Staff were very helpful and friendly including the new girl on the door. Sorry didnt catch her name.
Standard bar, good service a medium selection of drinks and some Brit regalia spread throughout. One of the only low key bars left in the area.
Drinks are great but service is super slow. We got out dessert an hour after we ordered and we were ready to leave. Bathrooms play Churchill speeches!
If you miss the traditional london pub this is perfect place to be. First of all the mac and cheese is really good, but you can go for the fish and chips to keep it traditional. The fun part is going to the restroom where you can hear the Churhill speech about the war and the nazi invasion.
Very nice place to visit. As I work across stress the street please be prepared as this place gets crowded. Nice beer selection, decent whiskey selection and or fast service for food.
Interior is great, staff is very friendly. Food was not good. It is first time during last 3 years in NY when I got pyrosis after lunch.
This is one of my favorite corners of NYC. Awesome music, food, service, late night drinks.
Charming bar reminiscent of a British pub. Lots of Churchill memoriabilia on the walls. They have a reasonable selection of draft beer and a full menu.
Pricey drinks even at happy hour, atmosphere is kitschy. Not much history there but visit at least once to scratch off your list.
My favorite place in Manhattan. I like the off hours. It’s less great when it’s insanely busy. Love the Churchill speeches piped into the bathrooms.
Expensive cocktails but they are very alcoholic
A good pub in Manhattan. It gives you the British feel inside the pub. Staffs are friendly and beers are also not that expensive.
Excellent lamb chops (although the side portions were so small!). The sticky toffee pudding was amazing!
Nice ambiance and nice beers.
Very British - I came to watch the Oxford Cambridge boat race, and had a decent English fry up. Muddled service though, they sent my food out twice and my drinks never.
Low lighting, dark wood, cozy booths, good beer and decent food. Great for large parties as well as smaller ones.
Great food and great beer. Fullers London Pride on tap, served by very friendly staff. What more can a Brit ask for 😀
Overcrowded and underwhelming. Front of house staff was rather rude.
Great food, nice bar selection, friendly service, cozy seating and fantastic corned beef and cabbage when available
Great spot. It gets busy during lunchtime as well, because besides good drinks and service they have good food
Just got off the bus and hopped in. Amazing people, wonderful drinks--strongbow on tap!! Had a wonderful time. Headed back later for a sausage roll!
My first time in new york has been amazing and if want to find a place to relax and chat to local people then this place is a must. The staff are great and make the place feel very welcoming
Food great, nice portions, warm atmosphere just watch tor charge on second cup of coffee. Would return!
Fantastic venue for World Cup viewing! Fish and chips and a Fullers, please! (And make sure you visit the bathroom at least once!)
Fun British pub. Solid food and nice selection of brews. Not the cheapest place, especially for food, but reasonable enough.
Food is barely edible and the way they let patrons be bullied by other patrons is unacceptable. It sickened me to watch a gay man be called a naze by these people.
Pretty decent pub. Was able to accommodate a large group. I had English breakfast. Was good but burnt toast
Great place - music, food, drinks!
A go to after work. Food and beer is decent. Just dont ask for fancy cocktails here (yes fancy includes a basic old fashion)
Excellent atmosphere. Energetic bar scene
Come for the drinks and the atmosphere - not the food. Theres a distinct British feel, complemented by the fact that Winston Churchill speeches are played in the bathroom.
Good happy hour and pretty good food in a British themed pub. Its nice for a drink and maybe dinner!
Loved this place in 2017 when we visited the city so decided to return for breakfast in December 2019 and it did not disappoint, lovely food and nicely decorated.
Great place to host a large group gathering with plenty of space in the back. Good bar and food selection, and staff was friendly.
It is just ok. Nothing really special. Just ok yo take a beer and fries and thats it.
Good music, 80s,90s, and friendly afterwork crowd. Drinks are a bit weak. Menu could use an upgrade.
Awesome Scottish ale on Nitro, strong scotch menu and nice barmaid (who helped me pronounce the new scotch I ordered). Whats not to like?
What a great spot for the weary traveler. Good atmosphere, drinks and food. Love the Shepards pie!
Great place for drinks and offers outdoor seating as well
Cosy British-style pub with surprisingly good food. Popular with the after-work crowd but mellows out a bit later in the evening.
Rude, slow, and frankly? Rude British clientele to boot. The bartender basically couldn’t care less about you, and makes it pretty clear you are last on his priorities. It’s New York; spend your money elsewhere.
Had a lovely Christmas Day meal here. Great staff, great food, great ale. Thank you for making our Christmas in NYC special
People like to talk politics at the bar. Its the infamous place where socialists kicked out Milo Yiannopoulos. Good fish & chips.
Cheerful and loud, a good approximation of a British pub. Good beers. A good spot to watch soccer or the Boat Race
The best British pub experience you can get in New York. Good selection of draft beers.
Nice place good food
Pours a good pint and the hours douvres (esp the devils on horseback) are deelish. Nice and warm atmosphere and friendly staff.
Fish & Chips, Scotch Eggs, Dates in Bacon...All amazing :) Drinks were cold and fast. Decour was adorable pre-halloween.
Great atmosphere. A variety of drinks.
Great place of you enjoy föötball, good fish and chips, authentic English pub atmosphere. Real gem out of the countless bars in NYC
Good choice for Happy Hour with bar and communal table seating. Friendly service.
A fun place for a drink, but lower your expectations on the food. Cold fries and a rubbery Portobello sandwich were my regrets.
Irish pub with a slightly more upscale, yet authentic vibe. Lots of room; energetic but not overbearing crowd.
Exactly what I expected. Good bar food plus a few surprises, as well as a decent beer/booze selection.
They had hair in everything i asked for then when i complained they started cursing us out..so rude.the whole place was filthy.we saw rats crawling behind the bar it was disgusting..i McDonalds has better food and drinks..

2022-02-09Nice British pub serving all the classics in food and beverages.They do a pub quiz every Tuesday with a $10 entry fee per head (booking required ahead).The servers are very attentive and catered to all our needs despite it being very busy.Dropping a star since there was an issue with one of our orders which was rectified and deducted from our bill.COVID vaccinations proof required upon entry to the building.

2022-07-05July 4, 2022 4:30pm. Walked in to no hostess. We went to the bar and the bartender told us to sit anywhere. She brought the menus right away. But then we sat for at least 10 minutes before a waiter came over. He was nice but couldnt explain the flavor of the mushy peas. He went to the kitchen to find out, Theyre canned. I still didnt know the flavor. We decided on Buffalo Meatballs and Fish n Chips.The food was HOT (thank you, Chef)! The meatballs were dense and tasty. My husband is a fan! My fish and chips were good but what was the green sauce? Anyway, once we got our food we were satisfied.Towards the end, as I was signing the check a guy sat a the bar. He seemed like a regular and on his shoulder sat his cute doggy.

2022-04-20Really love it at The Churchill, even if it’s a bit far from my neighborhood. It’s sometimes a little noisy (with chatter-over-music or music), but it’s got lovely snugs to have a bit more quiet if you need. Super attentive and helpful staff, great happy hour prices, and delicious food. If you’re a Brit in town on vacation, an ex pat, or an Anglophile, you’ll love it here. And kudos for the Saint George’s Society of New York pub quizzes!

2022-02-17I have been here a couple of time with my Club Rotaract. This is my club non-profit go to go bar, after every meeting, the staff is really nice, friendly and helpful, and the bar has a themed as a British pub with is kind of cool when you go to the bathroom and hear the voice of Winston Churchill. The bar is very cozy, it has two floors where each floor has a bar and bathroom, making your visit more enjoyable and comfortable.The beer menu is very good and the food is amazing I recommend ordering the French Fries, as crazy as you think this sounds, the fries are very addictive and are the best that I have eaten in a long time.I also have eaten the Cajun Chicken on Flatbread with for my surprise was It was not an ordinary flatbread, was more like a type of sandwich but still had a great taste this is a must try. The flavor is a bit spicy and inside when you bite it you will found yourself with a lot of chicken, avocado, and cheese make this, I will call it sandwich one of the best I have eating.

2021-08-14Churchill will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart. The first bar that I’ve been going to since I moved to NYC 7 years ago. The ambiance of this place is special, not too crowded bar, nice selection of food, and lots of cocktail selections. The staff is friendly and attentive.

2022-03-18Went here for dinner on St.Paddys Day and I most definitely can say that I will be back. The atmosphere is that of a traditional British pub. Decorated with pictures of Sir Winston and HMTQ. Bar tables were not too spacious but enough for two lads and a couple of pints. Being that it was St. Paddys Day I ordered the Beef and Mushroom Guinness Pot Pie. Fantastically portioned and piping hot, the flavor was excellent with an equal amount of beef and mushrooms. The staff was great and attentive to guests. Wait time was non-existent and overall this was a great visit. The only thing lacking here was the selection of tea. As a place of authentic British food, I wouldve like to see an offer of Twinings Tea, not Lipton. Other than that, it was jolly good if I may say so myself.

2022-04-28It was the perfect place for my daughter´s 50th birthday party. The space was perfect, the food was excellent, the service was superb and they refunded the money for the people who did not come. I would have another party there for sure!

2022-07-10They had 1 waiter for about 15+ guests. I felt very bad for him. He was trying his best to keep up but was clearly overwhelmed. The food was okay. If you dont have enough wait staff, you should stop serving food and concentrate on just being a bar just for drinks.
