I recommend this restarant to anyone. Full five stars! The service is brilliant! The food is amazing! It is very loud, but you can eat outside or inside. I totally recommend this restaurant!!!
Great bar. Good music and had some sports on too.We had the nachos and the steak for food. Delicious, especially the steak! Good portions and reasonably priced too for the food you get!
So happy to find this place! After a bad experience at the place next door, we walked in here in the hopes of some good food. We got great food, great prices, and an incredibly cushy atmosphere... outside!
First time visit, sat at the bar, really nice space was fairly crowded, did not have a chance 2 try any of the cocktails, looking forward to going back and doing that, add the fish tacos the pork sliders and the empanadas. All of those were very good.
Went there for the soccer game yesterday. I never had so much fun in a bar. Really cool vibe and great ambiance.
My wife and I spent entire 10 days in NYC. During our stay, one of the days was Valentines Day. I had a table already reserved in different restaurant but when I saw the place physically, I canceled it. So there was a need to find something quickly and The Liberty NYC was one of the places with free tables (two days before Valentines Day). I reserved a table thanks to OpenTable. After coming to this place, it looked nice, there was a lady and bodyguard at the entrance. My reservation was quickly found and we received the table, without any waiting. My wife and I ordered couple of beers and coctail. As main dish we ordered Liberty Burger and Fish & Chips. Burger in taste was ok, could be more seasoned. The meal was for my wife and was ok. For me it was a little bit too small. However Fish and Chips was a different story. Fish was good in taste but was over-fried. As well as fries but less. Everything was so hard to chew on. For the entire dinner we paid nearly $100 but we left a little bit hungry. During our walk back to the hotel, we bought couple of pizza slices in one of the budget places. Do I recommend? Yes. The place is ok, the food was not delicious but tasty. The problem with this place is that there is poor quality-price ratio. Will I come back? No. There are many places in NYC to check out.
Absolutely awesome bar in Midtown! Really great service and great food! Great selection of drinks. Great spot if youre a Cleveland Browns fan. This is a Browns Backers bar and the hosts are excellent. Really fun place that you should visit soon!
Food was amazing! Best chicken sandwich ever. Not even kidding. Nick was a great bartender and we felt very at home. Food was awesome, but the people really make the difference. Thank you!
I really enjoyed my time at The Liberty NYC. My fiancee and I chose the restaurant because it was on the way to the Empire State Building. We were a little hot at first, but that was probably because we had a lengthy walk and subway ride in a hot car. After about ten minutes, we both cooled down. The waitress we had was superb. She seemed to be waiting on all of the tables indoors but you couldnt tell as a customer. She was on top of things and was extremely calm and polite in demeanor. The atmosphere was nice and clearly leaned heavily on its roots in NYC and the music was loud but we enjoyed it since it added to the liveliness. The food was okay. My fiancee enjoyed her steak sandwich but my fish had a very chewy strip all the way through it(perhaps it was the muscle/cartilage around the spine?). I was able to eat around it and it didnt affect the meal much. All in all, it was an enjoyable dinner at a reasonable price. I would go back if I found myself in the area again.
We had a great time. Sat outside with the heaters, super cute with lights and leather chairs and sofas, and didnt have to even wear our coats and it was in the evening. The only hick-up is we were seated right away but no one came to our table for almost half an hour. Not even waters. But our waiter Devone made up for it. He was fantastic and we had drinks within 5 minutes and food shortly thereafter. Food was well prepared, drinks were perfect and the prices were very reasonable for NYC.
Great spot near Pennsylvania Station. Very short walk to get there. Large establishment with plenty of seating. Nice selection of beer and specialty drinks. Excellent wings, Coconut Shrimp and pizzas. Excellent service.
We were disappointed with the experience at The Liberty NYC. We came here for a late lunch. The drinks were as expected. The food, however, disappointing. The hot buffalo wrap not only had way too much sauce (it was spilling everywhere) but the hot sauce was way hotter than it needed to be (we have a fairly high tolerance for heat and typically like heat!). The fried chicken sandwich was soggy and borderline bland. The service was mediocre for a rather quiet mid afternoon lunch. There were some great restaurants nearby we wished we wouldve landed on instead!
Place had a nice ambiance. The reason for 3 stars is due to the fried chicken sandwich being more breading than actual chicken and when paying we split the bill on 3 cards even and they brought us back the wrong credit cards more than once
Ive always had a great time visiting. Theres decent wine and beer available, plus a diverse menu and a lively atmosphere. The staff are friendly and proactive. My favourite bar in NYC :)
An ABSOLUTE AMAZING TIME!!Staff was great!! Our server Michael was fantastic & The show was Incredible!! Dont miss out!! Drag me to brunch was the highlight of our Vacation!!
Fabulous! Great atmosphere amazing staff tasty food and the best taquila cocktails! Would definitely recommend. No matter what time of day you go always an amazing experience.
This place was amazing. The steak sandwich literally had a filet on it. The chili was also phenomenal. Fries were good too. Service was fast and pleasant!
Very busy and lively place. Friendly staff, fresh good, the drinks are OK. I recommend classic mule for $10 during a happy hour.
Really cool atmosphere and a great ambiance but food is a little overpriced for the quality. Great bar and some cool drinks though!
Great service, atmosphere, and food! The outdoor dining space was really relaxing. Highly recommend
Walked in for a drag brunch! Was one of the best things that we did in NYC! The show, the vibe were just awesome! Also, staff here is amazing, caring! Food was great and drinks flow for 20 dollars...PERFECT. Thanks a lot! Highly recommend!
This used to be my girlfriend’s watering hole from when she lived in NYC four years ago. The place hasn’t changed much since then, despite the lack of familiar faces at the bar. The bartenders still all serve the same standard of excellent drinks. Good place for sports fans as well as people who just want to have a good drink at reasonable prices. Despite being in a high traffic tourist area, The Liberty is one of the few places that is a shelter from the mess of tourists visiting Herald Square!
Stopped here just for couple beers, were surprised that cozy sofa and armchairs seats in front were available on Saturday evening - just what we needed after long walk. Beer was great! Fast service
Nice setting but understaffed. I wouldn’t recommend fish and chips, it was hard to find fish among all the fried breading.
DO NOT eat here we have just arrived from Switzerland. And they refused to serve us because my daughter was eating a snack. Then we ordered a meal and there was a black hair in it. They refused to take it back. And still charged up. Then Russ told us he was no longer serving us. So PLEASE please do not go to this establishment
Good cocktail vibe. I liked the decor and the opened garage door seating. Didnt get food, but the menu looked decent.The server seemed uninterested, but it didnt affect us as we were just getting drinks.
Such a fun place! They have the cutest couches and coffee tables right when we walk in if you want to sit and relax with friends like at home. They also have tables and a great bar area! Oh and I cant forget the photo booth which was super fun to do!
Decent food but god-awful service. They messed up 2 of our orders, and took over 30 mins to replace them. They were nachos and a salad, which should not take that long to make. On top of that, instead of checking in while we were patiently waiting, the staff were sitting at the register and eating the nachos. When we asked about the status of our order, they were incredibly passive-aggressive as well.
The BEST chicken tenders I’ve ever had in my life! The food and drinks were remarkable in general. I can’t believe how moderately priced the menu was. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I wanted to celebrate a special occasion and the staff made sure everything was perfect. Will come back 100%.
Great service. JT was our server and made sure our drinks were never empty. The fig pizza was amazing!
This place is pretty cozy, but gets extremely crowded on thurs and fridays. Affordable happy hour that lasts until 8pm. Most places in the area end at 7. One of the best Moscow mules Ive ever tasted. I have always come here for various parties. Just found out today that they have $1 oysters from 4pm-6pm and then again from 10pm-12am.
Go for happy hour! This place has amazing appetisers and makes a MEAN Gin & Ginger!
The prices were great for the location $25 unlimited mimosas for 1.5 hours and the service was top tier, Alex was super pleasant and attentive. The owner also was there I had a chance to meet him and he too was very polite and he was assisting the workers as well. Great environment .
We ate there on july 2, 2021, we ordered a sex on the beach cocktail from the bar. When it came i told my wife this doesnt look right. out of the 4 ingredients it was missing the orange juice, as the drink was sour as could be. i give a 3 start for the drink, i give a 5 star for the food as ordered. would still eat there again on return trip.
Thought I was ordering a pint but turns out their drafts are 10oz. Very small beers for the price. Not even worth having drinks here. Burger was good, Buffalo chicken wrap was about as average as they come. Id find another place for lunch next time Im in the area.
Incredible Cleveland Browns backers bar in NYC! Great food, good beer, great atmosphere. The staff is incrediblely friendly and takes good care of you.Just dont ever wear any sports clothing in there that isnt Clevleand Browns apparel. They do not like that (and you dont wanna deal with the Dawg Pound).
Great food. Wide selection of beer, craft and good house draft, plus bottled. Pan baked chocolate chip a la mode adequate desert for two.
Good atmosphere, good appetizers. The mac & cheese bites are delicious!
It is a great place with nice ambience. The barbeque chicken wings are nice, the cocktails are great, the staff is friendly.
My fiance and I wanted to try this place our last night in the city as the menu had appealing selections, it has a very modern look and overall looks to be a great place to have a meal.I only have 2 complaints about our experience and Im not sure If I find this odd because I am from the south or if it is actually out of the ordinary. I have eaten Fettuccine Alfredo several times throughout my life in numerous restaurants and I love it. I have never even heard of someone putting onions all in the meal and in my opinion ruining the creamy texture of the meal. I have never liked onions so maybe I am biased but I never thought I would have to ask for no onions in my Alfredo.The other complaint isnt so much a complaint for this particular restaurant as it is for every restaurant I visited in NYC both times I have been there. If you are a fan of soda be prepared to be disappointed. For some odd reason, every soda in New York City is flat as if it has been shaken numerous times before being served. Once again I am from the south and all of our soda is very carbonated so maybe Im biased but I just find that odd and disappointing when Im in the mood for a soda while visiting the city.
Brilliant place , great food , great prices great atmosphere….I guess I’d say all around….great!
Great atmosphere, food, service and prices, especially when happy hour is there. Oh, dont forget to order oysters.
Terrible service, rude waitresses and unfair treatment. Me and a friend paid for bottomless drinks come to find out we couldn’t drink unless we bought food as well, so we did. Then later they FORCED us to pay our tab before we were done eating and when we asked for another drink they told us we couldn’t get anymore because we already paid our tab even though we had 30min left on our 1 hour and 30min timer and the food was subpar, don’t waste your time.
Seems like a super popular happy hour! Very cute inside and great food and drinks
My husband and I really liked this place!! It was an accident to find it but we were really pleased with it! We ordered the NYC pizza and it was sooo tasty! Really good! And they have good drinks too! :)
It was beautiful and cozy just like stepping back into time so I give you a two thumbs up
Only thing good was drinks..all the food was bland..and service sucked..brought plates without removing empty prior plates. Would not recommend.
Unfortunately a bad experience for us. The drinks were outrageously expensive and someone at the table next to us was smoking a marijuana pen. I was with my parents and we kept getting strong wiffs of marijuana. It was freezing very cold in the restaurant which I understand with covid they need to regulate air. I wanted to do the bottomless brunch but couldn’t because my parents didn’t want to. I understand how people can take advantage of this, but sometimes when there are groups with people who don’t drink it’s a little unfair. Our nachos were cold, we could tell so because the cheese was hard. When we got our meal Our waiter never checked in on how our meal was, we were waiting for sauce for our sandwich because it was extremely bland. After 20 minutes we were able to wave him down and our food was cold. 2 of us had the same sandwich and neither of us ate it. We were never asked if anything was wrong and they simply brought a to go box over to us without asking if we wanted to take it to go. I don’t want to rag on the restaurant but we paid $200 which is absurd for a causal quick lunch. If we got the food, service and ambience worth the price we would have been more than willing to pay. It’s very easy to make up for small errors at a restaurant but a lack of care and negligence makes it all around a bad experience.
I went there with my family, we were 11 people inclusing 3 kids and they were very acomodating and friendly. Our server Carlos was very kind and took really good cat of us. We all loved the food. Will come back.

We made a reservation for Sunday brunch on Friday afternoon… The Liberty just called us, Sunday morning at 11am, 30 mins before our reservation, to inform us that there is no brunch menu today. That’s a NYC sin. Obviously, this is a shady restaurant. They assume we will still show up due to their last min call. We won’t be going here again, and would recommend everyone steer clear of this unprofessional restaurant.
This is your standard happy hour bar if youre looking to grab a few drinks with co-workers. I like the fact that their happy hour does account for cocktails unless most of the other beer friendly places (A Moscow mule for $8 is a steal) . In terms of seating , theres ample room for larger groups and we could find a place for a group of 4 on a Friday evening at 7 pm (something youre not gonna find at other neighboring places)Service was commendable and the nachos we ordered was pretty good
Best bar in the whole world, halla madrid!
No bartender I’d rather have when I visit NYC than Saint Nick. Nicest guy and makes a hell of a drink.
It was awesome the waitress and waiters are amazing they made my daughter sweet 16 great well recommended
Ginger snap was good
Terrible cocktails and super touristy. Not a good spot of youre an NYC local or anyone for that matter. Use the same fryer for veg and non veg items so if you have dietary restrictions you literally cant have anything but a celery stick....this place needs to get with the times.
The worst brunch I ever had. They couldnt cook an eggs Benedict properly, our server was ridiculously rude and they tack on gratuities for a table of 3. Do yourself a favor and brunch anywhere else.
Finally a place that was poppin just like pre Covid days. Lady worked hard to get us a table when it was a 30min wait which she pulled off in 10 min. Ordered fish n chips and the tarter seemed homemade and was awesome. Overall great experience.
Super nice staff and lovely brunch options including bottomless bloody marys!
Cold beers and amazing service. Niall was an amazing server who gave recommendations on what to order and everything was crisp. Also enjoyed the mood in the bar with low lighting and the music not too loud. Definitely will return.
Great brunch spot with a spot to watch some rugby games.
Such a great spot before heading to a concert at MSG! Marie was such a good waitress, great experience
I love this place! In a desert of ok bars and lunch places, this is an oasis. Micky is an incredible waiter and took great care of us. He was so attentive and friendly. Bonus: this place is a Clemson bar and the BEST place the watch games! The food is great and the drinks are even better.
Had a nice lunch with my coworkers today! Definitely gotta try the mac and cheese bites or their garlic fries. our server Mickey like the mouse 🐭 was great and made sure we had everything we needed and were up and out in time for work! we are definitely coming back!
Food is okay and drinks r good but a bit pricey
I went in 2 days ago and let me say....Delicious food, great music and very sheek
Walked by with my coworkers after work looking for some food and drinks, saw that they were having a happy hour so we decided to come in. We were greeted and welcome immediately by the lovely host and sat down in the front. The vibe inside was fun and the music was bumping. Beside the great atmosphere, both our servers Serena and Chris were the highlight of our time there. They both are absolute gems with a awesome personalities . Always came back to check on us making sure we were doing well on food and drinks. We were never empty handed. We definitely will be coming back with more friends . How can be beat great prices on all the food, drinks and outstanding staff :) !!
Best after work spot. Their oysters are AMAZING! Top tier service. Will find myself as regular here
Great happy hour drinks, food is value for money given in the neighborhood. Grilled salmon salad, Buttermilk Chicken sandwich and sliders are delicious. Very popular (and therefore loud) during happy hour. Food comes out quickly. Nice and attentive staff.
Amazing experience, VERY nice bartenders, Stefania and one other sweet lady took care of us ( didnt catch her name ). Had a great time, awesome happy hour and great atmosphere! Took great care of us and made us feel very welcomed! We will definitely be back!! Thank you Stefania!!!
This place is fantastic, the staff are friendly and I really feel like I should recommend their curly fries. We literally went back 3 days in a row for their curly fries! Delicious! Anyway, the food selection was good, and their drinks were awesome. They had a great happy hour offer when we visited, and the whole drinks menu was great - there was so much choice
Alissa, please tell us when youre working next. Awesome service to go along with strong drinks that came fast! The food was amazing too. Def will be back
Fun times. Most of the food was very nice. And the drinks were great.The one disaster to avoid is the baby street corn. It arrives smothered in mayonnaise and lacks any other flavors, unfortunately. A shock to anyone who has had the real thing, its a wonder it even made it to the menu.
This place has one of best W. 30s setups for COVID period. Outdoor heat lamps with couches & tvs....and apparently more heat lamps to come even. Good peeps running it too. Food and drinks always good pre-pandemic and remains now. Thank goodness theyre still open!
Really awesome food for a bar, whoever is in the kitchen can cook. Definitely the perfect date spot because it’s quiet unless an event is happening. They also could push tables together if a larger group wanted to come in and eat together. Good happy hour. Wheel chair accessible.
Awesome place to watch games and drink.
On a rather odd street with Irish pubs and Korean restaurants this one is a winner. The few outdoor seats are great for a nice refreshment and people watching meanwhile the inside bar has a good selection of cocktails. Downstairs has a private room for parties. The waitstaff gets a little overwhelmed (slow) on busy nights but overall a fun place for a drink.
Had a really great time here on Thursday with a couple of friends where we enjoyed a few drinks and some excellent food! The Irish bar man Kieran looked after us really well even after it got very busy as did his colleague Tasha. Highly recommend popping in here if youre in the big Apple!
At first glance, The Liberty looks awesome! On warmer days, they open up the front. Patrons sit half outside on a comfy sofa slurping big fat oysters along with their martinis, or frosty pints of craft ale. Once inside, however its a like most midtown bars - overcrowded, overpriced, and underwhelming. Its definitely a cool layout - lots of tables surround a center bar. Theres also a basement level with another small bar and additional seating. If your plan is to have a couple of after-work drinks with colleagues, its perfectly fine. The food is mediocre, at best. I didnt try the oysters the last time I was there, so maybe thats where I went wrong; fried calamari felt like a safe bet, but not here. I would drink there again, and perhaps next time I will give the oysters a fair shot.
This is a pretty good bar, especially when considering that there isnt much else going on in Koreatown. The place was very spacious, which made it easy enough to get seats. Lots of comfortable couches to lounge on. Music was pretty decent and there were lots of TVs. The service wasnt spectacular. Decent selection of beers. I had a really fun time here when I went in December!
Got stuck in the torrential down pour and stumbled into the liberty. AC was on, bartender Sasha was super friendly and smiling even when we decided to move over to a table near the windows where Serina was our server and also so friendly and accommodating! Bar food was ok but atmosphere was five star
Was passing. Was hungry. Looked at lunch menu, thought it looked fine. Went inside. Ate a lovely pizza with garlic fries lunch. Drag performance started. Shocked. Loved it! Best part was being in there with my mum and dad, who also loved it! When I googled the place afterwards there was an ad on their website for a drag lunch (this is what we had unwittingly entered) by Tess Tickles!!!! One of our favourite holiday moments.
Came for dinner with a large reservation of about 7 of us, food was decent not too stellar about what I expected. However our waitress was a little overwhelmed. The drink orders we got were a little off and it was a little pricey for the quality of food that we received. Would give 3.5-4 stars.
We were new to city and had no idea where to go out. Stumbled across this quaint bar and was greeted by the friendliest face, Mickey. He was the nicest and most accommodating bartender! Will definitely come back just for his great service :)
Came here with my friends for some post Saturday brunch. Amazing drinks. Definitely try :Hey! Ho! Spinach and artichoke dip was alright so were the sliders. Reasonably priced and nice and quiet at that time of the day.
Very nice space! I just stopped in for a drink and did not regret! Bartender Dasha was very friendly and plus she makes amazing drinks. I ordered Reckless serenade and it was delicious! Definitely recommended
A great place to watch sports. This bar is huge so no matter how big the game you can almost always get a seat. Theres also a downstairs if you have a large group. The location is usually convenient for everyone and the TVs are plentiful. The beers are decent and the food is very good. The prices are high, but on par with other midtown bars and totally worth it for not getting beers spilled on you all night.
Had an amazing brunch with old friends, Mickey and Niall hooked us up with amazing service... 100% recommend. We went on a nice fall day, great chill outdoors section. The Cowboy Breakfast hit the spot.
I kind of love this place! I love the staff, I love being able to reserve spaces here for parties, I love the food and the drinks! There isnt much not to like. Ive been here on multiple locations and am only disappointed when the establishment is too busy for me to grab a quick drink. I definitely recommend getting the specialty cocktails, the sliders, and even the lamb is pretty good.
I was freezing cold, walking the streets with a mild hangover and longing for a cheeseburger and Bloody Mary remedy like the pre-Covid days could provide and stumbled upon this OASIS by chance. Comfy couch, heat lamp pointing straight at me and a dang fine cheeseburger. Highly recommended!
Happy hour specials are a great deal, always love when there are food deals in addition to drinks. And loved our service, Chris was so attentive and great at recommending cocktails and showing up just when we needed a refill!
Marie was so nice and accommodating! The food was excellent and the atmosphere was perfect for our Friday night dinner before the Jonas brothers concert! Highly recommend!
I like the venue. Very cool setting but unless you’re sitting in the front of the bar you’re probably not going to enjoy yourself. The back of the establishment can get very hot and loud so its not exactly the most ideal setting for a conversation.The food is okay. I wouldn’t go out of my way for the food but if you’re lucky enough to reserve the couch you will enjoy the Liberty.
Better penne alla vodka than Ive had a expensive Italian restaurants. The service was impeccable. The establishment is clean and astetically pleasing.
I lost my virginity in the bathroom. I threw up clams everywhere. Great atmosphere. The waiters will try to get you to work there. The chef came out and asked if I knew anyone who sold pot. Its loud but I have been tortured before. Dont make eye contact with the bartender. She will try and get with your dad. The clams are great!
Wow! This is the best place to watch the browns games!!!!!!! Highly recommend!!!! Plus it’s safe with distancing during covid. Russ is the most amazing server ever!!!! He’s the best and always takes care of us.
Just came in for a quick drink and brunch, sat at the bar. To my surprise they have a drag brunch and omg, Luis the bartender was a delight, very helpful and knew what he was doing ! I would definitely recommend this place and will be coming here again! Thank you Luis for the experience!
Stopped in for lunch on a hot day and really enjoyed it - except my wife ate half my burger! Our waiter was Louis, very attentive. The Liberty burger was the hit. In a city with lots of secret but not so secret burger spots, this one stood out. The place is comfortable with European type open air tables and the whole front wall opens up to the street on nice days.
Decent space to check out a happy hour, but is located in one of the worst parts of Manhattan. Food and drinks are pricey and not of a great quality. Two best things about this place are the couches to chill on at the front and the $6 Moscow Mules during happy hour.
Great ambience and central location. Very friendly atmosphere and good drink collections. Niall and his crew were very hospitable and would definitely recommend going to the bar if you are in the area.
Went to a happy hour with a big group, the staff was so kind too set us up in a area just for us. The have good beers on tap, the music is very good, the tv was showing novela kind of weird for a sport bar. Did not eat the food so i cannot yelp about that.But they have a great staff and good selection of random pictures.
Stopped in on the recommendation of a friend. Great atmosphere during happy hour. Bartenders (especially Kieran) were great despite being very busy! Will definitely be back !
Wow, thanks to Dasha who was our magnificent bartender for the night, my girlfriend and I had the most amazing night out in NYC. She was so attentive to our needs, not to mention her drinks were soooo on point. I’ll definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the city, and moreover all NYC natives. We’ll be back every weekend 👍
Great service..chill place for a business meeting
This was horrible service! Waited over an hour for our over priced cold food. Never told soda refills were additional pricing. The table next to us sat down 20 minutes after us and got their food first. Never asked how our food was. Our sliders were under cooked and cold. I had to go interrupt our waitress from her social hour from two guys to get our check. When I said I wanted to see the manager she stormed off and rolled her eyes and got another staff member. After explaining the situation she asked why I didnt send the food back. I cant if the waitress never comes back. No apologizing. Took money off but a wasted 1 1/2 hour of our lives. Dont waste your time and this was on a slow Sunday night.
There was barely any AC which was rough since everyone was drinking and its summer in the city. Other than that theres a lot of seating here. The bar has limited selection. No German beer. They changed champagne menu too. Its now only sweet champagne.
Worst service Ive experienced in the city. Turns out our waitress did not have to be nice at all because gratuity of 27% was added for my table of 5. The food was average at best, the fish had no taste but the fries were okay. Extremely loud. Would never suggest to anyone with the ability to hear or anyone who enjoys the respect of another human.
I had a great time with my friends and had an amazing lunch. I would just like to say our server tall Niall was a gentleman and will be coming back! Hopefully Niall will be looking after us again!
I was in the Liberty yesterday for lunch. Had the buttermilk chicken sandwich at the recommendation of our server Niall. Nice location and great selection of brews. Told it’s the Clemson bar in the city - will definitely be back.
The place was nice, I didnt have time to eat the food I ordered, and the orange juice was awful. But, what the good place used for if you are treated badly and disrespected.
Enjoyed my experience. Two friends and I went here on the fly for drinks after failed attempts to attend a karaoke bar (reservations needed) after dinner. What a pleasure surprise. Great drinks and service!
Nice place for a beer and quiet lunch on a Saturday. I must have been the only customer in the place. I had a nice caesar salad and a pilsner, though there is room for improvement in the beer selection. Service was prompt and friendly, thanks to Mickey!
Great buffalo shrimp on the summer menu! Micky was an excellent server. It’s also a great deal since happy hour goes until 8.
Definitely go at lunch time! the buffalo shrimp is to die for.
Lively and fun bar!! I had the shrimp and grits which was delicious. We had a lovely Irish server called Niall, he was great ‘crack’. I’ll definitely be back :)
Ground floor is a boisterous, energetic, spacious midtown pub but a little less off putting than the usual atmosphere. The downstairs event space is cozy and flexible, though the AV support is inexpert, the food exceeds expectations and service is thorough and efficient. Wine selection is limited but the otherwise full bar doesnt disappoint.
Wow. Let me start by saying I have had pre-cancer polyps and I am told by Dr. Orders I am not allow gluten, I came here for one drink with my coworkers who all work professional jobs are ordering 2-3 rounds and plenty of food to eat. On the Happy hour drink is Moscow mules for 8 dollars I was like great Ill get one. With Titos since its gluten free. Well. With my condition I can only have one, I dont even like going out cause of these things then the manager Chris, came over and told me I can only have one and that this is not the normal and if you want another one it will be regular price. So not only did this place once make me explain I have a condition the Manager had to publicly comment and make my coworkers have to defend me. Btw I can only have one drink. Discrimination. Not ok to treat paying customers like this. The manager then came to my table said this is the only one Im allowed at the happy hour price I wasnt even asking for another one. So embarrassing when Im just there to enjoy one drink on happy hour with coworkers.
Nice atmosphere, gets crowded post-work. Ample seating to both have a communal table or a quiet spot for a date. Drinks are quite highly priced considering the neighborhood. Tries to be a little fancier than it really is.
Cute spot. Great service. And great happy hour!!! Much more happy hour selections then other places!!!!
A lovely breath of fresh air from the Irish pubs and the pretentious places that try to play off the pseudo exclusivity role. Drinks are reasonably priced, and they have a Oyster Happy hour on Tuesdays or Wednesdays.The bar is big, the food is good, the prices are ok, the clientele is relatively good-looking. I highly recommend it.
Reliable bar to go to after work if you want to get a few drinks or light food. Great happy hour menu, good vibe and usually not overcrowded like some other midtown bars get after people get off work.
Bartender was not so friendly. The atmosphere is sporty and dressy. Im on a solo vacation and dressing up after walking 10 hours. Never. Every bartender on my ten hour walk was cheerful and accomadating.
The food was good. We had good service from most of the staff, except our actual server. Never saw him after he took our order, and that includes bringing our check. Another server got it when we asked.
Great unlimited boozy brunch in midtown. Both strong drinks and quality food options in my experience!
I came here not knowing what to expect and truth be told I was blown away. Micky was incredibly attentive and fun. We were a big table and we never had to ask him twice for anything! Great time great service
Most of the cocktails are sweet, but the server was happy to point me to a few that were dryer - their version of the whiskey ginger is particularly good. Its expensive, but if you end up in Herald Square and need a drink, this is a good choice.
I really liked the drinks and the atmosphere was kinda cool. Definitely a different type of New York bar. Chicken sandwich was good too. Lots of beer choices and local brews too.
Good food fir lunch or dinner
Really great place for after work drinks, and the food is good as well. Only one star missing because its so loud during happy hour you cant even hold a conversation.
Wonderful place and experience. The staff is really cool and fun. Sasha and Nayo are the best. While Im not in midtown often Im happy to know that this place is my new go to when in the neighborhood.
Great place to just come and get a drink. The bartender Micky was excellent, he suggested a drink which was perfect. Would definitely recommend co.ing here to just chill and hang out
Food was great drinks also!!
The server here was not very helpful. She seemed to care about just finishing her shift and not taking care of us. The food was okay. The music is a tad loud and its hard to hold a conversation. Dont recommend if you are out of town to come here. Nice bar for people that live here.
Nice big bar in the middle of the city. biggest bar counter I have ever seen. super charged, super noisy and alive place - always a place to stand and drink and chat at the top of your voice. Nice pizzaq and sliders too.
Great food and hospitality and drinks.
Had breakfast here today whilst watching England demolish Ireland in the 6 nations...food was tasty and good along with the prompt service and reasonable prices for NYC....great little spot. Looks great as a bar goes as well
Nice local pub and restaurant in midtown area. Good drink list and nice casual menu. Space is well designed with large oval bar.
Got lunch here with my counselor: really enjoyed the BLT. Wasn’t too busy or crowded during the lunch rush, which was nice for conversation. Great decor and atmosphere.
Surprisingly good steak for the price. Weve had it in multiple occasions and it didnt disappoint. Nice staff, not too pushy, good cocktails.
This place is the best! Great service and Glen and Maria are the best around. If your in NYC stop by here for drinks and food!
I like this place for a few reasons..1. They make great craft cocktails for $122. The have a really good DJ on Fridays3. They have Sriracha (extra points for that)So I recently began working in Midtown and The Liberty is one of the first gems I discovered in the area. Actually some co workers discovered it and I decided to pop my head in there after work. Everything from the decor to the music made me want to stay for a drink and a bite. The place feels like a watering hole from New York of old. They did a good job with this theme throughout the establishment. I also liked the crowd in the Liberty. It was a mix of professionals that looked like they were coming from work and club goers who were pre gaming before a night on the town.The food: I had the Sliders (cheeseburger). These were really good. The buns were soft and the beef was tasty. Definitely above average here. I added some Sriracha to the sliders which kicked the flavor up a notch. I wouldnt hesitate to order these sliders again.The drinks: They have a concise menu of craft cocktails themed after each of the five boroughs. Theres two cocktails per borough. I just told the bar tender to make me his fav drink. I have no idea which one he made me (I was drinking before I got here), but I do know that it was well made, strong, and delicious. This is the kind of place that serves your drink in the proper drink-ware, garnishes it accordingly and doesnt short you on the liquor! All this for $12 is a great value in NYC.Great experience at the Liberty. Ill be back often to check out their lunch offerings, happy hour and for after work drinks. Im especially looking fwd to enjoying their outdoor seating in the coming weeks.
Just had drinks but the food smelled great. Ambiance was cool and very old fashioned interior. Definitely coming back and eating next time.
Incredibly loud, so loud I had to shout at my friend across a small table. Service was slow and the food was average at best. We got out of there as soon as we finished it in search of a place where we could actually talk.
Great place for after work drinks, except its Sooooo Sooooo loud. Unnecessarily loud. Its a bar not a club. Cozy vibe, good comforting food, good cocktails. Just turn down the volume to match in interior...
Moscow mules are always on pt! And the fries...well dont even breathe them in because that will be 500 calories. They are fried in duck fat which makes them that much tastier. Love! Good spot near the job for HH
I had a burger and fries here. The burger was tasteless. The fries, which on the menu, sound delicious, were nothing special at all. They do give you a metric ton of fries though. No need to order extra.
Stopped in for drinks with a friend during a football game. Great atmosphere.
This place is amazing and atmosphere is out of this world. The food is amazing and the service is one of a kind.
Great experience!! First place we went on the city to catch the Browns game.
Beers are great and a very wide selection. Niall is an awesome guy, very cool to talk to so you’re lucky if you get him as your server
Daria is an amazing bartender! Great service and absolutely loved her. Happy hour deals are great and had an awesome time :)
This is a really cool place! The wait staff is extremely polite and prompt. Excellent restrooms. Very clean. And the food... Was superb!
Great environment. Friendly service. Good food. A lot of TVs. Great sports bar. Matias (one of the servers) is great!
The Liberty NYC is a restaurant I would recommend to my entire family—even the ones I don’t talk to anymore. Great food and drinks, and the server Mike is a good dude for sure. Haha.
Sometimes packed sometimes empty. Went on Sunday afternoon; got the liberty burger. Excellent. Fries very good too. Prices decent. Central location. Recommended.
Pretty awesome place. Great atmosphere, excellent drinks, solid service. A really nice balance of a bustling din and the surprising ability to have a conversation.
Fun bar in a good area of mid townDecent happy hour but can still add up depending on how much you drink!In the summer very open
Steak sandwich was great as was the Mac and cheese. Beers very reasonably priced, not too expensive at all! Would recommend overall.
Really fun place. Love the food here. The wings and the steak sandwich are my go-tos. Bar stuff are really friendly. Favourite place in midtown.
This is an awesome place for after work happy hour! Great deals and Dasha at the bar is the absolute best. Ask for her and you’ll be set!
Drinks and atmosphere were ok but food was terrible, everything came out with so much grease you could ring it out. A big thumbs down !!
Bad coffee, ordered a burger medium well, came out undercooked. Expected better food from a landmark restaurant. Service was good & friendly overall
Awesome place for a large group reservation, the happy hour was enjoyed by all! Our server Mickey was the best!
Place is great. Bartender was funny and made the drinks the way they should be made. Think her name was Sasha. I will be coming back.
Service is meh but also what do you expect of a super rowdy bottomless brunch place that caters to drunk yuppies.
Fantastic little bar with great service. The food is delicious! Strongly recommend any of their burgers.
Service was decent, food was a bit bland, and it is indeed very loud. But it fit the bill for a few tourists after a long flight.
Ask for Mickey! Best server around!! Bar has nice atmosphere, cool music, and the decor is a cozy American hangout.
Omg Dasha is the best bartender to ever serve me in NYC. I absolutely love her drinks and personality she rocks. Will be back ASAP!!!
Came here with the friends for the first time, was surprised how fast we were served by our bartender Dasha, very cute and nice girl! Drinks were really goood!
So Dasha made us a best Run Old Fashion today, like the best. It was the brunt orange Old Fashion. Great drinking and Dasha was wonderful!!!
Great open space and the bartender made me a nice drink that wasnt on the menu. A little over priced but could place to grab a drink with some friends and watch sports
Im here now. 11pm on a Saturday night and the kitchen is closed. The 1 bartender physically moves fast but is slow. Maybe its better in the daytime?
Great Bar and Restaurant. Very nice and polite staff.I will surely come back during my next NY Vacation.
Had a great time ! Service and happy hour specials are great. Shout out to daria and mickey. Highly recommend
I have been to The Liberty on 2 occasions, both events were private meetings held in their downstairs room. May 11, 2016 was part of a tour by the Dartmouth Athletic Department and more specifically, its Football Program. Hors doeuvre and drinks were provided. Coach Buddy Teevens and others were there, as well as the Ivy League Football Trophy, because, well Dartmouth shared championship with Harvard and Penn. The downstairs venue is very comfortable and nice for a meeting of 20-30 folks. You can actually use google street view to go into The Liberty and in the back actually use street view to go downstairs. Very Nice.
Fab bar, lovely staff, great drinks menu - Niall took wonderful care of us! Highly recommended!
The hand-crafted cocktail selection was awesome, service IMPECCABLE.... Coming from the hospitality business, their staff and management couldnt do more!!!10 Stars!!
Nice quaint place for lunch with my family. food was quick and delicious. our server Mike was very attentive, thank you!
They have amazing cocktails. A must place for anyone who loves cocktails and the staff is very friendly too
Great bar and even better atmosphere for any die hard Browns fans in NYC!
I work about 2 blocks from here and ate here late night with a coworker. We ordered some beers & their buffalo wings which were really good. I would recommend the buffalo wings.
Great menu selection list amazing staff and friendly service definitely a place Im going to come back if the prices were a bit better it would have definitely got a 5 star
Mickey was the best waiter I had in years. So attentive and fun. I will definitely be back because of the service!!!
Atmosphere was great. Service was excellent and the Buffalo Wings were GREAT.
Solid spot for food and drinks with friends. Atmosphere is welcoming, drinks are good, food is even better.
Came by for brunch , the place is beautiful and food very good and my bro Luis the bartender , Amazing guy fun to be around , stop by and come see him & the place .
Mickey was amazing !! He was attentive and honest and i truly appreciate that in a waiter. Will definitely come back.

2022-04-17I had a really nice time in here with my sister. Was trying to get some drinks and something small to munch on. I really like the vibe and ambiance in here and our waitress was so friendly. The style of the couches are a really nice touch to this place. It feels and looks really classy. Outdoor seating seems so cozy with a nice view. Happy hour is great being 4-8. Would love to come back again.

2021-12-31We got the spinach artichoke dip and 2 pizzas and all the food was delicious. We made reservations for outdoor seating which was cute. It was ready when we arrived on time. The service was a little slow although very friendly staff. Even with this we were in and out in about an hour. Recommend for some good food in this area that isnt as expensive as so many others!

2021-11-30Absolutely amazing outdoor seating area (visited in late November 2021 on a very chilly windy day). They have comfy leather couches and insanely warm infrared heaters.The food was excellent (we each had a cheeseburger and thought they were fantastic, as were the mac and cheese bites that we shared as an appetizer).The server was friendly and never rushed us. We ended up staying 6 hours (well after we had finished our meal and paid the bill)!!

2021-09-25Good atmosphere for relaxing after a full day work. $1.5 oyster deal in happy hour (4-8pm). New York steak is pretty good and tender with a reasonable price $28. Service is good and these waitresses are fast for everything we asked. We had a good time today!

2022-02-21The owner of this place is someone that I will remember for ever! From Wales, very educated and humble! He and the waitress make sure all the time that we were okay but the most important thing is that they treated my 4 leg daughter 🐕 like a Queen! Priceless! People that really love what they do and have vocation to serve others! Thank you so much!

2022-03-06Our server was so sweet and the food was authentic and delicious. The atmosphere was what you would expect in a good eating experience in NYC. I loved the french onion grilled cheese.

2022-04-20We came for their bottomless brunch (which is a great deal, $25 for 90 minutes and we basically had a pitcher per person by the time our time ran out). The food we got, bacon sandwiches was very basic, Ive had breakfast sandwiches from the typical NY food cart that tasted better, but the service was great (the place was still pretty empty so that might explain why). I also like the ambience of the place, high ceiling giving it a very open space/feel, high bar with screen projectors. Not bad at all.Overall, I think this is a great place for watching a footie match and getting drinks or typical bar food with friends which means I would be coming back here when the world cup is playing.

2021-05-10What a lovely place. We went for brunch. After 15 months of shelter in place!The food is delicious with great presentation, flavor, personalization options, and portion size. We took the bottomless drinks option. I have to say this is the first place ever I visited where we had to ask them to go easy on the booze in the drinks. 😅 Bottomless drinks had a good variety too.Most importantly, the staff is great, very courteous and sweet.
