Good spot to get a drink. Decently priced, friendly (for New York standards) and mainly locals only bar.
Great staff and bar made me feel like in my neighborhood bar even when wearing Chicago Cubs jersey look forward to coming back in the fall
One of the best bars in NYC!
Its great, once I ordered a mocktail and was charge two different prices for the same drink, one was more accommodating than the other. Also, the front door bouncer acts a little like a tough cookie/ night club, so be prepared if youre expecting the scale to be higher than standard. Food is good, especially the burgers and nachos, at the same time.
Great atmosphere, more than enough TVS to watch the games. Good food and drink. Reasonable prices. The mild Buffalo 🍗s will punch you in the mouth.
This place is a fantastic sport bar! 🍻 The Gin Mill is a great local watering hole with wide variety of classic American 🇺🇲 dishes 🍽️! Definitely try the Nachos, Chicken 🍗 Caeser Wrap 🌯, and Fries 🍟 - all absolutely delicious! 🤤 The place is filled with TVs showing sport events 🏈 and has full-sized Beer 🍺 Pong tables! Staff is nice and welcoming! Service is quick. I wish I came here more often!
Great friendly service, half off whole bar till 8 pm but there is always a daily special that makes revisiting fun and exciting. Big space for groups, awesome bar food and great music.
Amazing vibe and loved the food that we ordered..which was boneless wings and onion rings. Absolutely loved the place
Great place to get good drinks and a cool chill spot
Great atmosphere. Staff are friendly and welcoming.
Very good food.Excellent space.The bartender is aloof and disinterested in anything but texting and acting annoyed.Please explain to her that her job includes interactions with other humans or get someone who gets the job description.
Good daily deals! $4 frozen margaritas on Tuesday nights!
Wonderfully horrible place. Clean dive, great drink prices.
One of the younger (age-wise) bars in UWS. Has three beer pong tables in the back. Prices are OK. Its a pretty fun time on a Friday or Saturday night if you live close by, but I wouldnt bother traveling across the city to get to it.
Best happy hours in town! 50% off EVERYDAY on everything till 8pm! Who can beat a $2.75 bud light on tap?
While biking around the city on 09/29/20, My wife & I bumped into this little neighborhood bar & grill. To our surprise, It wasnt bad. While I did ask for my burger to be medium well, The burger was over cooked, But pretty tasty!We also did get a handsome amount of fries with our meal. We ordered Blue moon beer, But did wish they were served in a glass instead of a plastic cup.Also want to mention our servers (Sorry I cant remember their names) were very friendly & attentive. All in all, The Gin Mill is a nice little place to eat & drink when hanging out in the city. We strongly recommend it & well be back...Rose & RaulFrom Clifton, NJ
After a visit to the American Natural History Museum my friends and I wanted to enjoy a G&T somewhere close by. Thanks to Google Maps we were led to the Gin Mill. A sweet spot with attentive waitstaff, comfortable outdoor seating and bartender with a heavy handed pour! We will definitely be visiting again.
Food was mediocre and came out cold, drinks are reasonably priced for the neighborhood ( smaller glasses Im assuming because of the pandemic). The staff were VERY nice and helpful and made sure to fix my order. I ordered loaded tots with no bacon... Cheesy how I like them. Not very flavorful but decent for the price 👍🏻
Great Happy Hour, The Burgers and wings are supreme! Nice neighborhood bar that draws a nice crowd. Conversations will become yelling matches because this place pumps up that music! Beer pong tables and eat-in tables are in the rear. A private party room can be rented for events which is located downstairs. Thats a nice room too with its own bar!
Love the $2 off all drinks til 8, made the bill fir my friends and I much more affordable than other bars, with friendly and happy wait staff! Will be going back next week 💖
AMAZING nachos! Best Ive ever had! We went during the day and they had half price drinks until 8pm so we got a pitcher of beer for such a low price compared to everywhere else we saw in NYC. The burgers looked amazing and such big portions too. They always have loads of deals and they have a nice atmosphere. If youre passing definitely go in, even if its just to grab a half price drink! But again, nachos! With pulled pork! AMAZING! The best ever.
Your local watering hole with probably the best prices in town. Bartenders and waitresses are cool as hell. Always feel welcomed here and its a great after work place to wind down with drinks and even meet cool people. Beer pong in the back in case if you want to have a little fun with friends as well.
Great prices, bartender was super nice and welcoming.Opened till 4am so thats a plus.
1st time there. Enjoyed ourselves. Pleasantly surprised.
Good music, a LOT of tables(which is good), and great service makes this an awesome bar to visit when you want to go out with some friends. Though the tables take away forthe usual amount of intermingling that you get in bars. The specials are definitely great too, generally starting after 8pm on weekdays, the specials start at 11:30am on weekends
Waiter messed up our order, twice.Beyond Burger and spicy margarita were good, though. Fish and chips not so much. Great interior for healthier times.
Nice mix between a pub an a sports bar..! Awesome food, awesome service...! Great specials...!
Megan and jason were wonderful to us. Megan was very attentive to our group,even though there were quite a few patrons there.gin mill continues to be my favorite place to go to. The menu has a variety and is worth the money. Love the ambiance
Good drinks and a great happy hour on Thursdays 1/2 price on most drinks. They also have the beer pong table in the back. The only thing I would say is that you might have to wait awhile for your drinks. Recommend it though!
Great drink specials, super friendly staff, good food, A+ highly recommend!
Cool place, Id give them 5-stars if they didnt get rid of their daily drink specials
Its the sister bar to Jakes dilemma. Together they are part of the sprawling ny best bar syndicate. A familiar atmosphere or beer soaked wood, big screens, load music, drinking games and off peak specials draw throngs of college types. Food is consistent pub grub. Come for half priced pitchers but ask for a glass, those plastic mugs take cheap too far. Maybe youll get lucky. Its where I met my wife!
Jack and Jason are great. They always provide amazing customer service and are extremely friendly. I even witnessed Jack dealing with an unruly older couple visiting verbally assaulting him and he handled himself in an extremely professional matter as the man hassled him rudely. Always a great experience!
Amazing bartender. Mike is the best bartender ever.
My high school friends and I used to go here when it was known as fire house. They have solid bar foods and drinks. I recently went during happy hour, and there was a bouncer at the door who checked id. Service is great once you are inside and there are beer pong tables in the back.
Excellent location for happy hour on the upper west side. The place has good energy - busy, but not overly so. The staff is friendly and attentive. Its an elongated restaurant and bar which goes back pretty far.Always feel free to reach out to me on Twitter @joerazz
The service is great and attentive. The beer is decent but better quality tonic needs to be put into the Gins to get that extra star
Monday night half off all beer and shots. Great cheap dive bar perfect for after softball game. All your favorite bar foods on the menu. Service very consistent. Clean for a dive bar too. Plenty of TVs.
Cool spot in the upper west side. Definitely check out the happy hour which actually seems to last till 8pm. Bar food isnt bad at all and the ambiance is spot on. Definitely a cool place to check out some games or hangout on the weekend or stop in after work during the week...
Good Happy Hour, gets a bit bro-ish at times, fun to catch some sports and some wings with friends. They have games in the back too so thats pretty cool & the bar tenders are great as well, just dont be an over privileged creep.
The Gin Mill is a great bar on a street full of bars. The prices are reasonable, the bathrooms are clean, the atmosphere is chill and great. There is also a cool event space in the basement. They also donate a portion if their proceeds which is great~
Good sports bar. great service. Sunday after 8pm drinks are just $4. minus 1 star for the loud drunk college boys who played beer pong and kept hitting us with their balls
Awesome bar on the upper west side. Theyve got some good happy hour deals as well as the chance to win a free happy hour which I in fact ended up winning! Plenty of televisions makes it a spot to catch all the sports that are on.
College bar trying to look a little more upscale, but still attracts college bar types, BUT, not as much as the other locations owned by the same company. It IS near other college bars, so eventually during certain nights, youre bound to pick up some of the runoff from other bars. I preferred it when it was Moes and they had Mexican themed foods, but we cant all get what we want, I suppose. Nice spot to hang out with friends if you dont wanna spend a lot of money. Just make sure you find a decent bartender to deal with for the night.
A mighty good cocktail can be had here!
Great mix of atmosphere, good place to sit down to eat, watch the game, or party. Had a jerk chicken burger, it was excellent. Good prices on drafts and shots. Beer pong going on in the back, sports games on the numerous TVs.
Not bad as far as bars go. It is everything you expect at a bar with the notable section for some group gatherings and lets not forget about the beer pong. Since its called the gin mill you have to order gin, and it lives up to expectations. Finally with a good menu of items and a well stocked bar, its everything you are looking for in a great nyc bar.
Best happy hour special Ive found in NYC. Didnt even need to ask for them to put the EPL match on. Servers where friendly and attentive. Definitely be going there again next time I visit.
I went along a few times to watch the NFL on Sunday afternoons. The bar was packed and was incredibly loud, but it served the atmosphere extremely well. The bar staff were polite and served drinks efficiently and quickly.
Amazing place to have a reunions they have a separate basement area highly recommend.
Definitely not for the faint of heart or the unassertive, the fact that its sandwiched between two (or more?) colleges makes it inevitable that the place is going to be packed. Dont go if its college night if you can afford to pay more for drinks, but if youre a poor student, youre not going to beat the prices. Its great for groups and if youre planning a large event, theyre great with helping you to plan your own happy hour. Expect lots of unwise alcohol consumption and beer pong.
Always a party atmosphere here. Beer pong, sport, loud music, cheap pitchers of beer. Its got everything a college-style bar would need but also has good bar staff who can make real cocktails
I once again regrettably returned to The Gin Mill during lunch hours because Jake’s Dilemma opens at 3pm during the week. By the way, Jake’s Dilemma gives excellent, efficient service. But not The Gin Mill. One bartender in particular never smiles and moves back and forth behind the bar at negative speed of light. You’re lucky if she acknowledges you with her drab, droopy face and complete lack of personality. And once again I walked out. I then went to Frank Mac’s bar down the street. Exactly the opposite of The Gin Mill. Worthy of a Michelin Star. Mike was a true, over-the-top professional. One of the best bar experiences ever. Please do not pass this pub up when in the Upper West Side! And definitely pass up The Gin Mill. Come to Frank Mac’s or Jake’s Dilemma (when it’s open).
Typical Sports Bar. Was there Friday night and it was pretty loaded with people. Nice atmosphere and awesome playlist (rock). But the real awesomeness was reserved for the ridiculously beautiful barkeepster who helped me pick out the correct beer and gave me a free Goose to make up for advising Bud Light the first go. Made my evening.Anyway: cool place, nothing special.
Its an average bar with an average crowd. The prices here wont break you if you are just looking for a place in the area to grab a few drinks, The Gin Mill is not a bad choice. Plusses for having tables in the back and a private party room in the basement.
Awesome happy hour! Also I love the outdoor seating. Staff is awesome!
Ive spent 5 years in NYC and had the chance to eat food from hundreds of places. The Gin Mill has hands down the best sandwich in the city, the New York Strip Steak Sandwich. Go there, get one and you wont forget it! Apart from that, the GMs are really great people, the staff is always helpful and professional and the drinks are good.
It was Great, people there are very friendly, but a bit slow on service and checking back with there tables
Great staff. Saturdays and Tuesdays you get quality company from the bartenders. Fantastic deals all week long, and usually a bit more sophisticated than some of the other bars in the area;)
Very poor service. The bar tender last night did not volunteer to serve me and my significant other from Italy. We sat at the bar for at least 20 or more minutes and did not get served even though he was not busy. However, we did not feel welcomed and decided to go to another bar down the street and had an awesome time. 05/04/16 was the night he worked.
Came here on election night and sat at the bar. The bartender, Melissa or Alissa(I dont remember well I got pretty hammered) was really good with a great personality. We all had a great time there, probably wouldnt have if she was not the bartender.
Awesome staff and great food. Stopped in here because a friend recommended it. Wasnt disappointed. No pressure to order drinks, which is a plus(it was a hot day, so I wasnt feeling liquor so much.)
Love this place during happy hour. Great for gatherings, solid beer selection, good food options, and attentive service. They also have beer pong tables in the back.
Great spot for catching up, watching sports - 12+ TVS, and even playing beer pong! Specials are on point here too. I came on a Wednesday to watch the Knicks and Linderella, and pitchers of Bud Light were only $8! Seems like a good place for groups to hang out and get a table. I didnt order any food, but the nachos at the table next to mine looked awesome!And... dont forget about Power Hour on Saturdays! $1Drafts, $2 Shots from 8-9pm!
Ifnthere would be 6 stars I would add 6. Friendly staff, good prices, delicious food.
Whoa, talk about unexpected surprise. As I was traveling to my homeland I needed a sweet treat for my metro north trip. Miraculously this place was near the restrooms downstairs in the dining concourse with a mini line. I was struck by the display case. I saw jumbo individual pies, jumbo muffins, cupcakes and whole cakes in glass cake stands that look like what Id see at grandmas.I settled on the cupcake, just one (trying to keep a waist line during bathing suit season ya know). I got the chocolate frosted vanilla cake. On first glance, the ratio of frosting to cake was perfect, you know 30% frosting 70% cake. The cake was very good, light, fluffy a clearly made with butter not margarine. I was a little shocked when I peeled back the liner, seemed like there shouldve been more cake. Since I was already on my way to Connecticut, that didnt stop me. I dug in. The frosting was good, chocolaty and real cream, not just brown flavored powdered sugar.For $3.25 in NYC Ive got no complaints. The cupcake was cheaper than the latte I got at another stand and more satisfying. Ill get another on the way back.
Very disappointed in service! I came here and had to leave after 20 minutes of no service. I went to the bar where the bartender told me since I was sitting outside, I had to wait for a waitress. After seeing two different waitresses serve other tables and skip mine after I signaled them, I went to the bar where the bartender blatantly ignored me. She proceeded to go from each end tending to other clients and wiping the bar down. I’m so sad because I’ve come here with friends and for corporate events. I will never suggest this place to anyone.
Great post softball game bar. But gets super duper crowded during any special sporting events. Beer pong and/or flip cups usually going on in the back.
I have always heard good things about this place but unfortunately one of the bartenders thought it a good idea to re-charge my credit card and add an extra tip for him/herself without my knowledge. I was there last Saturday 12/22 in the evening...there was one female and one male bartender present and Im not sure who the culprit was. So while this seems like an ok place to hang out just BE AWARE that this is going on. If you are leaving tips in cash and paying your tab by card MAKE SURE to cross out the tip section and write in the total always. This is actually the one time I forgot to do it and I got taken advantage of.
This place is really cool whether you loce sports or not. Food is really good and the variety of drinks are great if you are looking for something differentGreat for out of town people and convenient location.
Absolute best bar! Great prices and delicious food! The atmosphere is always great with decently los music and sweet and knowledgeable Bartenders. Highly recommend this place to drink alone or with friends.
I recently went to this establishment to grab a drink with 2 of my friends from out of town. I was held at the door by the bouncer who was staring at me rudely. The minute I presented my ID he informed me that he did not like my energy!! Not sure how a bouncer could ascertain my energy. This has never happened to me before. I informed him he should just be evaluating my ID and not my feelings and he immediately became aggressive. I asked him for my ID and told him I would go elsewhere and I did not feel comfortable and he told me to get the F out of here. I felt it my duty to inform others about the way I was treated. Fyi - I had not been drinking at this was my first establishment I visited..
Dont go here for a group or downstairs room. The food is much less than expected. The drinks are very small servings. Many wines and beers are not available. It was not as advertised.
Great sports bars, good food and the service is top notch! Ava was an amazing bartender, highly recommend this place for casual food and drinks, ot simply kicking it while watching your favorite sports team!
Great bar. Friendly service. Good food. Old-school fun bar vibe.
Cheap drinks, great music, good food.
If youre looking for a young fun bar for football on a Saturday, look no further. Definitely make sure you know what youre getting into though. It is a sports bar aimed at recent college grads. Bros and picklebacks aplenty.
The Gin Mill is a typical college bar, thats not that close to a college at all. Its impossible to get a table after work, so arrive early if you have any hope of getting a table. Even if you have a table, service can be slow because theyre battling crowds so you may be better off ordering beer from the bar itself. I had the potato skins and they were average.
Standard sports bar in the same group of bars as 13th step, Hair of the Dog, and nearby Jakes dilemma. This one tends to be a little less crowded/loud for college football, and the food isnt bad either.
The place I always have a meal and a beer when in New York. Great food friendly staff and buzzing atmosphere. Well worth a visit. Thanks to the staff for their friendliness.
We went in on a rainy afternoon. The place was packed which was a real attraction. Had some Brooklyn Brew and appetizers. Beer is definitely better and cheaper. A fun place to visit.
It’s an okay place. Mainly a college bar, so don’t go here for a quiet drink. The prices were a little high for the food, and the mixed drinks definitely tasted a little watered down.
Happy party spot with sturdy bar food as one would expect from a comforting pub.
Solid but not my favorite spot. Overpriced for why it is but I do find the staff friendly and service was fast.
They have one of the best happy hours Ive seen in a bar. Friendly staff and the bar food is good. Great atmosphere
Havent had a meal here but they have pretty good happy hours. Definitely a nice place to unwind after a long weeks work
What can you say, its a college bar. Very similar to the other bars owned by the same guy. Beer pong in the back, cheep drinks, and a private downstairs area. Its a madhouse sometimes which can be annoying, but its good overall
First bad review, the audacity of this security never been so racially profiled, they wouldn’t let me in because had a US passport, but a Peruvian passport, and on top they were completely rude and felt completely uncomfortable! Never coming back
Great bar for beer pong. Solid menu. Nice and divey, but not a hole. Good service and reasonable prices.
Fun sports bar close to the American Museum of Natural History. Excellent happy hour specials. It was a great spot to watch a world cup match
Great happy hour deal. Host a fair amount of work happy hours. All ages enjoy. Drop biz card in bowl for a chance to win a free hour of drinking!
A classic go-to for a quick drink & bite to eat. Great food & drinks with good prices and quality service 👌🏽
Very similar to the other bars in this chain (Jakes Dilemma, Dead Poet, etc.). The bartenders were good and the happy-hour specials are very good.
Great staff. Good beer choices. Decent prices w/happy hour etc!! Food ok. Great French fries.Loads of options on tv
Beer pong in the back. It has your typical bar food (burgers, fries, etc). The atmosphere is mostly college and recent grads reliving the glory days. Great for a Thursday night
Friendly Service in a popular local. Food portions on the smaller size but tasty and dont leave you with extra to carry.
Very nice & fun place.Music was great. All kind of different nationalities just partying and having a great time the food appetizer was great. Good looking men !!
Cheap drink, great crowd. Mostly college students but the atmosphere is fun. Service was quick. Your typical college bar.
A real fun bar with a great drinks selection. Great staff, left a jacket behind and returned the next day and they had it held over for me.
Great place to watch sports and have drinks. They dont have waiters, but it is fine. Great bar food too
Just got bad service, took 20 minutes to get seated (had to ask to be seated) and get asked if we wanted drinks. The food was average, got burgers and they were very dry.The waitress was nice, but slow and I had to ask for a drink refill. Probably wouldn’t go back there again.
Good choice of beer, and burger was ok
Service so good & friendly, and food & drink so affordable, I forgot I was in Manhattan. Making this place one of my regular stops. Can’t say enough nice things about it.
Nice vibe in this bar. College football games on multiple televisions.💪🏾
Solid bar with great happy hour prices and a decent selection. Main downside is its usually quite full, and the long narrow layout can make it hard to get to the bar.
The most racist bar I ever been to in my life the security just turned me and my friends around because of the color of our skin....we were well dressed and they talked about a dress cold being code gap!!! Plzzz if your a African American do not go there!!!!! Plzzzz dont support that bar God bless
Went for a birthday party. In house catered food was meh. Atmosphere was nice, but main bar/dining room was too noisy.
Great service, atmosphere. Definitely a great place you want to be for football Sundays( the energy is just right, plus AMAZING prices (if you go at the right time)
Fun spot, service could improve.
Good place for happy hour. Good specials and a great staff. Unpretentious, varied clientele, and often very busy.
This bar played Rocky Top! It also has adult sized toilets. A rarity in NYC bars. Nice to not have my junk touching the bowl.
Great local divey sports bar. Beer Pong in the back!
House beer was surprisingly great! Had a few appetizers which we phenomenal. The bar food. Nice crowd and good vibe.
I believe Gin Mill is part of the Jakes Dilemma/Off The Wagon chain. One of my go-to bars for cheap drinks and pretty tasty bar food.
Great happy hour bar where its literal happy hour almost all the time. Gets busy but in a fun way. Worth a visit
Great bar atmosphere. Everyone was so nice and inviting. Plus beer pong tables in the back. You cant beat that!
Food was great the waitress was friendly and they accommodated us nicely to watch the knicks game.
Good for the college or right out of college scene - or those who are older but hoping to get back that spirit! Its often crowded and rowdy - dont wear your fancy shoes - theyll get beer or worse on them...
Great happy hour specials daily, great music, just an overall great atmosphere. Need more than 1 bartender however.
Great happy hour specials. The bartenders are attentive and nice. And yes, they are very easy on the eyes as well.
I drink/eat here about 2-3 times a month. Has a great happy hour (half price on the whole bar) until 8 PM.
Let me put it this way...I scored my first night. Although my brothers wife cut it short when she walked into the living room admidst me balls deep into some type of Peru/Spanish Hawaii type (not the hottest) it was Definitley fun night and this is the type of place that could occur next wknd. I mean once the server couldnt even stop touching me and thats while my gf is sitting there! Yeaaah! This place just makes girls horny like UWS girls gone wild. Plus they have that Stanky buffalo chicken options...I might actually get a wrap right now
Awesome bartender, I think her name was Britney and a really cheap happy hour when I went on a Monday. What more could you ask for in a bar?
THE DEAL IS NOT THE DEAL....UNLESS OF COURSE AMERIKHAN SULTAN SAITHS THIS IS THE DEAL......UNTIL 8 PM E.S.T. ALL BAR IS 50%.KNOCK YOURSELVES OUT😘😘😘😘😎😍😍😎😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣 😘 WONDERFUL DEAL ONLY IN NEW AMSTERDAM (NEW YORK CITY) CITY SO NICE THEY NAMED IT...NOT TWICE BUT THRICE...ENJOY.
Fun place to hang out with friends!
Nice place to get drink. Good vibes never too busy after work. Good choices of beer.
The Gin Mill is great if youre looking to socialize with friends on a weekday after work. However, on the weekends it gets far too crowded to enjoy yourself.
Great place to watch football on Sundays. Half-price beer. Im pretty sure they water down their beer Food is delicious.
Went to this bar to watch a baseball game. They had some really good burgers and outside seating. Just wish the TVs were a bit bigger
A great post work crash spot. Great Wednesday deals and cool ass bartenders! Also the food portions are pretty big!
Drinks are great and the atmosphere is good. Great place to get some drinks and happy hour all week.
Yes its crowded, yes there are young people drinking too much and being too loud, but its a sports bar. You cant beat the half price pitchers.
Love it! The happy hour will make you happy indeed. The atmosphere is chill and fun
Has one of the best happy hours in the city. Locals, college crowd, afterwork folks, corporate sport teams, everybody comes through.
The worst service. They serve you old reheated food. The drinks are not wven served in a plastic cup.
Always a great time visiting the general especially during football season. Great beer selection and good food
The brother to Jakes Dilemma. This place is more sports related so its awesome to catch up on the games on Sundays here. Great drink specials too!
At the larger end of the spectrum of bars round here, so slightly more room at the bar. Happy hour specials and discounts for students.
The Gin Mill Rocks! If you are 20, 30, 40, 50+ You will have fun!! If you are Lucky And Good You May Become An International Beer Pong Champion!! #InternationalBeerPongChampions 6-6-2015
Fun 20something/sports bar. Great specials. Always check because they are different every day. Good bar food.
Friendly staff, chill.vibe, happy hour special is awesome--2 rounds for $20! Best prices in NY!
One of my favorite pubs on the Upper West Side. Always a safe bet for pints and shenanigans. Good atmosphere, mostly Columbia students.
Its a good spot for grabbing drinks. I didnt try the food but its smell great.
Great drink specials, awesome wings, friendly bartenders, cool crowd.
Everyday cheap prices and attentive wait staff. Left my card overnight and it was still here... Good people. TY!
Meh, pseudo Irish pub with terrible music and expensive Guinness. If youre stuck in that neighborhood fine but otherwise hard no.
Great local watering hole with $5 frozé in the summer, good beer selection, outdoor seating, and excellent bar snacks
Awesome Happy Hour prices, great bar food and nice casual feel.
Iove this place. Chill dive bar popular with 20-30 somethings huge tvs for sports and happy hour every day. What else could you ask for.
Always a good time here, super friendly staff, great music and drinks!
Local watering hole, good drinks. Chill vibe. Definitely a good happy hour spot after work!
Fantastic little spot on the upper west side! Great drinks, service and ambiance.
The drinks are decent, the bartenders were on point, but the DJ sucked! It was Saturday Night too. Disappointed.
Was there for lunch, wings are very good..My coworker love going there every other day, and on fridays..
Friendly staff and great happy hour. Jess is awesome!! Very friendly and easy to talk to!!
Decent sports bar. Not a great beer selection. Good wings and other bar food.
Enjoyed watching Game 5 of the NBA Finals here the other night. Bartender was cool and remembered my round of drinks.
Half price happy hour until 8pm with nightly specials thereafter. Florida Gators fans come in your favorite orange and blue!
Low key, awesome atmosphere bar for absolutely anything. Great prices and great people.
Great spot to grab a drink and some food. Downstairs area is perfect to host a private party.
Best Place to watch a game, crowd is UWS People, Great Tap. Very Good Bartenders
Can’t complain about it. Just walked in for drinking and it was a nice place. I’d improve a little bit the playlist though.
Awesome awesome awesome. The King of New York might be the best sandwich in all of NYC. Tell them Tim sent you for half off your King of New York sandwich.
Great places for happy hours and to party. I love the music, the drinks and the food.
Nice bar, with a good beer choice! Happy hours all week!
Great beer selection and lovely staff. This place is very clean also.
3 stars only because it always has a warm, cozy and positive feel but too much of a west coast feel that leaves a bad taste in my mouth because inclusivity is important.
Awesome place nice cold beers and the bartender meg is my favorite
Great bar in the UWS. Reasonably priced drinks and friendly atmosphere.
Great bar good food and drink special, I like all the custom lettering around the entire bar. Would like to meet the artist.
Fantastic local bar with great drink deals - the staff is great too!
Awesome! Food was good and the bartender kept our drinks full!
Another great place to drop in as you wonder around NYC
Great happy hour! 50% off almost the entire bar
Went here sunday night with girl friends. Great service by the bartender and great french fries.MaryYourSoul(dot)com
Good drinks , friendly staff. Nice beer pong tables in the back
Service is great and the food is really good. I would definitely go back!
Great place to pregame with happy hour prices until 8:00.
Love this place, waiters are awesome!!! Good beer & excellent ambience. 😏😏
Good music, good vibe. Drinks were not too strong (which I like!). Good mix of people.
Love the wings. Love the prices. But the music is always too loud
Great happy hour prices and a very friendly staff
My favorite bar and grill friendly workers good food and good music
Greta social atmosphere, friendly staff and good selection of beer.
Loud Irish pub. Good happy hour prices, friendly staff.
Went here sunday night with girl friends. Great service by the bartender and great french fries.
Food is good and the beers are decently priced. Separate bar in the basement for private events!
Great bar, great prices, excellent service and bartenders.
Cool place. Great vibe. Happy staff and good food!

2022-06-28The Pubs Ambiente is nice but the cocktail prices and their size is just a joke.Below you find a picture of a pineapple punch cocktail for 9$ and it was their Happy Hour price?! Additionally of course with a lot of ice. (second picture)(Normally it would be 12$ ^^So there are two options:1. They are ripping off costumers within their Happy Hour with extreme small cocktails2. They generally rip off with extreme small portionsEither way never going back there and I recommend everyone, don’t do it.

2022-03-05This establishment has a bar right as you walk in and another down below. They have a selection of bar foods and a respectable set of beers on tap. I suppose its a fine beer to visit with friends. You can watch the game downstairs. But when theres a lot of people the main bar quickly gets crowded.

2022-05-21Four of us ordered food, nothing was great (though not inedible). Was there for happy hour but didn’t know that wouldn’t encompass cocktails, so a little bummed by that. Good place if you’re there for the beer.

2019-11-05They offer happy hour deals basically out of any reasons you can think of—which is coming from the true spirit of running a bar, I personally think. Beers taste how it’s supposed to be, and the foods are attentive to the classic while boasting their own touch.

2022-04-06My softball team comes here after games on Tuesdays. It’s our favorite spot in the UWS to share a pint and some apps. The service is fast and they always have enough seating for us.

2017-08-29For a private event - Held a surprise, Roaring 20s themed party at the Gin Mill, so fantastic. We needed almost no decoration, the private room in the basement behind a locked door, was fantastic. Beautiful, spacious, and the service was perfect. The manager assisted us with determining how to get the birthday girl downstairs without ruining the surprise. Our bartender was attentive, fast, personable, fun, and really great at suggesting drinks for the birthday girl as well! The set up and breakdown were easy with the staffs help, and the price of the event was completely reasonable for the great time we had. Most top shelf liquor was available for about $50/per person for three hours. The food was great, both the food that we ordered and the food that came with the event. There wasnt a lot of food included in the event buffet - dont plan on inviting 30-50 people and having a full dinner included in the price. But they did bring out a beer pong table half way through the evening, and the pitchers of beer for the games were all included. All-in-all it was such a great experience, would HIGHLY recommend for any event. The happy birthday sign you see in the pictures is ours, one of the only decorations we brought.

2022-04-11I came here a couple of weeks ago with my bestfriend and it was just as amazing as it was pre-Covid. I had the amazing Alyssa as my server and literally couldn’t have asked for anyone better, she recommended my bestfriend a couple beers since they didn’t serve the ones that she loved. She sincerely wanted us to have a great time there and enjoy everything that we had ordered. Can’t wait to go back.
