Local NYC

The roof top is fun, even though it was raining. Prices arent ridiculous given the location. Drinks were good. Food was too. Meatballs were great. A fine place to grab lunch before a show at MSG.

Stopped here to grab a quick bite.Done inside, on the roof or a mid level outdoor experience. Foot was good. Servers were friendly and helpful.Let’s talk about the food - everyone can’t do calamari, I enjoyed the mango dip that came with the dish. They did good, but I have had better.The wings were a good balance of the sweet and spicy. I would say you can’t go wrong with fries but I have experienced wrong. However our friends here for them right.What could be better - totally random but not. When using the restroom they are missing some toilet seats. Not sure what meeting they had in the ladies room, but you should give the seats back.

The Girl at the door was so welcoming.She stayed super friendly and helpful throughout our visit, checking on us and others even though it was really busy. The dink’s it was very good. Great place and awesomely visited. Parking is not easy. Nearby the Postal Office and the Penn Station , many chance the traveling far or the closer....

You are not going to get a better place to wait for your Train at Moynihan Train station or your Flixbus when Amtrak cancels on you. The servers are kind and helpful. Food is good. Sliders and truffle fries are great! Rooftop is perfect in a pandemic. You can literally see the train station from your seat. They were doing a Corona promotion - free beer and water bottles. It’s a cool low key place to relax.

I would never expect something like this place in the middle of Manhattan. And not to mentione right across Penn Station. The place does not look anything special from outside but they have beer garden in the back and roof top. When you get there you literally feel like you walked through some kind of portal and ended up.in some other place. Food is good and drinks are not overpriced. I would definitely recommend this place.

Came in for a couple of beers on a stroll back to our hotel. Not too bad, prices fairly reasonable despite it being in a great location next to Madison Square Garden. Experience slightly spoiled by some sort of office party, populated by smug city types wearing pastel coloured shirts and sweaters draped around shoulders, desperately trying to show off to the younger female guests. Nice view of the empire state building from the roof terrace. Bagel was very good.

Nice view of Madison Square garden at night if you’re on the rooftop. I hate to say pricey, because it’s NYC, and that’s expected. The nachos were good for 2 people to share. We visited on a Tuesday night, so it wasn’t very busy.

Great place. Spent some time there before catching our flight home. Nice voew, drinks were not too expensive. Lovely place. Gives you a chance to order mystery beer cheaper but it seems like its always Budweiser.

Right across the street from MSG and Penn Station. Nice Cocktail selection, draft beer selection is pretty limited. The sliders are really delicious and I bet the burgers would be too.

Great location, right next to Penn Station. Set your expectations on the food quality, this is a touristy area. Servers make up for it!

Had some time to kill before our train, so we stopped by for a quick drink and bite to eat.The service was fine, friendly, but slow. The food was inconsistent. My popcorn chicken was good, but had a kick to it. The other food, fried pickle, chicken tenders, and fried cheese, were very hit or miss... mostly on the miss side.The drinks were awful, almost undrinkable. We ordered happy hour mules and it was about 90% ginger beer so it was incredibly sour. Would not go back.

The food and service were good. We didnt have to sit and wait for anything. The servers were constantly checking up on us to be sure we didnt need anything. I feel the prices were decent.

Want to feel ignored ? Want to wait forever for some basic food ? This place is strange ! Overpriced fried foods with service thats non existent. We watched as other tables had to yell excuse me!! Just to get an order started. $9 for some fries. I live in Queens and this place is one of the reasons I dont eat in Manhattan. Its one of those places that do the least just because they are in a popular area. So if you feel like spending over $100 for some basic fried food and want to be ignored and begging for little things like water than this is your ace. Never again !

Place is awful. We ordered two bourbons and it was like the bartender thought we were aliens. The pour was literally half an ounce. I asked the waitress what the actual pour was and she said 2 ounces. They charged $15 for the drink which was a drop of sweat in a shot glass. Use your hard earned money elsewhere.

DO NOT GO HERE! This was awful. The service wasnt even service. Automatic 20% gratitude and credit card fee on your bill. We got drinks and had to walk to the bar to order them both times ourselves. We had to fully flag down our waiter by yelling just to get a food order in 30 minutes after sitting down. The staff seems to purposely ignore you. The beer on tap is warm and disgusting. Save your money and go somewhere else. The view is the only nice thing on the patio, but even with that, still would never recommend this to anyone

Great little bar beside Penn station. They have a little roof top bar with great music. Highly recommend it when the sun is out.

Came here after work and was not disappointed. The cocktails the food, the view.

We were headed to a concert, not sure where to eat. We got out of the parking garage, walked across the street and in the door, sat down. Service was great (and it was PACKED.) The food was tasty, beer was cold and everyone was real nice and friendly. The place was comfortable and...when we were done we were right across the street from the show! We sat inside but I believe there is an upstairs/patio as well that we never even got to. I am glad we stopped in and would go back again! Our waitress Valeria was great!

The most manic,vibrant,craziest place ive ever been,loads to see and do.

Nice place. The food took too much time. The nachos with the spinach and artichoke dip was really good.

This review is for a late night visit on a Thursday. Moderate crowd, but seating available.Great place for drinks and good bar food. We visited after a concert at Madison Square Garden. Very clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

Stopped in for a drink after work. The place was nice enough with good music playing. The roof top bar was nice to be out in open air but its only one flight up. You end up watching people go by on the sidewalk. Ordered a single drink, vodka, for which I was charged 20.63 which included a 3.62 tip. Handed bartender a 20 and she let me go for the balance, how sweet. A bit pricey for what you get. Next time, there are plenty of other bars in the area.

Perfect location with views of the Empire State Building from the rooftop. By Penn station and Madison Square Garden. One of my favorite places in the city.The food is pretty decent, taste delicious, drinks are great and you can ask for your own cocktail mix. It’s a busy place but it’s worth it. They keep the bathrooms clean. The staff is amazing as well!

Great food, service, staff, and great location right next to Madison Square Garden. The menu has a nice selection of salads, burgers, and sandwiches. I had the grilled chicken sandwich and it was really good. Overall the service was good as our waiter ensured that our orders were taken correctly, and arrived on time

Drinks are horrible. We got Cold As Ice, Bikini Bottom & Gold Rush not one of these drinks was good. Whoever came up with these concoctions should find a new line of work. Spinach artichoke dip was good, and so was the popcorn chicken. The waiters are not attentive, they forgot our chicken and didnt bring any napkins and considering they automatically charged us a 20% gratuity youd think the service would be a lot better. The view is great and thats pretty much what saves this place. If all you want is a cool view bad drinks, ok food and bad service this is the place for you.

Beautiful view right in front of Madison Square garden. Delicious drinks and the have happy hrs and you can sit on the terrace. Perfect place for a drink before a show

The bartender was great. She made a perfect martini. Decided to order to go as we were staying a block away. Took forever to get 2 steak sandwiches. Bar tender was gracious though. Finally got back to our room with the food an hour later and one was wrong. Ordered one plain and one with everything. Got 2 plain. However, the quality of the steak made up for the lack of fixings. Id go back for sure. And, as if the laws of science were suspended momentarily, the take out fries remained hot AND crispy. I have no idea how they accomplish this, but its awesome. Atmosphere is super cozy and friendly.

Wanted to try this fun looking place right by Penn station. Sat by the bar, bartender she served us room temperature beer on tap when addressed she did not seem to care and said all tap beer is probably hot so I just asked for some ice. Some service. Food was okay.

Steak Sandwich! Had amazing breaded wings as an appetizer as well. Service and food were immaculate!

Really enjoyed my pit stop here for lunch. Had the chicken sandwich w fries. Exceeded my expectations. They have a rooftop “beer garden” which, on a sunny day, is a great place to hang while you wait for your train. Construction on the street makes it a little unsightly but that is just what it is.

Without question the very worst service and meal I’ve ever had. We had to fetch our own food, absolutely no condiments. When I requested them I was robbed off with “ you don’t need any”We ordered 2 salad entrees and received a saucer of leaves barely dressed. Our French fries didn’t even arrive.A compulsory swipe of your credit card is taken but I was told I can tip in cash. I asked what exactly am I tipping for???An absolutely horrible establishment and I’d urge people to take advantage of many better options around.

Would give none if I could. Sat at a table for 15+ minutes with no one coming to offer to take drink orders. Finally a waitress came and didn’t ended up messing up everyone in the parties order. Water with lemon? Lemonade. Two burgers cooked to different temps? Nothing to indicate the difference. Put calamari in the face of the girl with a seafood allergy. No bacon on the bacon cheddar burger. Overall worst service I’ve ever experienced. This place is laughable I see why you should be drinking before coming here.

I see some others have had some issues with the service. I stopped here for a drink with friends and to enjoy the rooftop bar. Really nice spot and the service was fine. Beer selection was a notch above average with bottles of 60 minute IPA and Matilda from Goose Island and others.

We are visiting New York from England, and we have visited this place twice as the happy hour deals, food and atmosphere are fantastic. Great choice on the menu for food (including an amazing veggie burger) and drinks (cocktails, wine, beers & gin and tonic!). Would highly recommend a visit here- especially during happy hour!

Went there yesterday after work. 94 degrees outside...90 degrees inside. The air conditioner has magically been broken on both days I have gone there this year. The roof...which is nice in perfect weather, is brutal in hot temps as well. Stayed 5 minutes, met my friends, and went to another place.

Horrible customer service, I had some time to kill before my train andvi read the reviews, I waited for a seat/ table for 10 mins and then left. No one acknowledged me, although they looked at me, no one said be with you in a min, have a seat, nothing, there were 3 people working on the roofdeck and i got nothing.

Convenient location across from Amtrak station. Had the chicken nachos. Just ok. Decent beer selection.

I never write reviews no matter how bad the experience but this went further than any other experience I’ve ever had. First it took forever to be served when we were clearly the only ones sitting at tables. The waitress was completely unhelpful and rude as if we just interrupted her break. Food wasn’t bad although I asked for a well done meal and she refuse to correct it. While I’m eating there’s roaches crawling up the wall and running directly towards the tables. The most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen in a restaurant. We immediately left after that. I’m still nauseous because if there’s one roach in the building that means there’s a colony of them. I really wish I didn’t walk in there never again!!!!

Great spot for drinks after work. Nice staff and very professional bartenders. Impressive selection of beers. The food was good. Theres a rooftop with a nice view, me and my friends hung out for like 3 hours, it was great.

Nice location for a drink with friends before or after an event nearby. The goat cheese salad was very tasty! The bar staff is friendly and fast. I’d recommend sitting at the bar if you are pressed for time. Although there are tables, the waitstaff seems limited.

When entered the place felt warm. We went upstairs veces the air was moving, Happy hour

Great food, friendly staff and good service. I love their selection of craft beers, on-tap beers and cocktails. The outdoor area is good, with views of the always busy Penn Station and Madison Square Garden. Always a good place to go for bar food and drinks with friends!

Honestly the location for MSG concerts in summer/nice weather couldn’t be beat. Two big outdoor areas, one on the roof and one out behind in a courtyard.Popcorn chicken was great. Drinks cold, reasonable and easy to procure. Milton, our server, was quick and willing to go above and beyond.My only critique would be improved bathrooms. Not ideal. But also not unusable.

We went there to have a beer. When we arrived, the waitress told us that she needed a card to open a tab, but we could pay with another card or cash if we wantedWhen we ordered, they took quite a few time to get our drinks and the same thing happened when we asked for the ticket. Then the waitress went ahead and use the card given to open the tab without asking if we wanted to pay with another card or cash (like she told us before) to pay the bill and charge us with a subcharge for credit card processing charge, even though the card was a debit card and the sign at the entrance said that subcharge was only for credit card.Avoid this place

Fun little place good strong drinks and food was pretty good too. I stopped here and went to the rooftop and got good view of the area as i waited for a concert to start, good atmosphere enjoyed my visit.

Do NOT get a beer here. We stopped by around 5pm, and sat on the rooftop outside. The beers on tap were all disgusting, it tasted like the tap hasn’t been cleaned out in months. We didn’t end up drinking them all the way because they tasted that badly and of mold.

Cool outside terrace serving chill vibes. Average pub fare. My favorites were the pigs in a blanket, truffle fries, and artichoke dip. Friendly service. They also offer a beer garden next door in Penn Plazas courtyard during warmer weather!

Bad news bears.Went with my husband on a Monday around 11/11:30 am. There were three guys at the bar who had already gotten their drinks and their food order came a few minutes after we sat down at a high top table right behind them. There was a female bartender at the bar, and three other female employees on the other side of the bar when we arrived. No one came to our table or made eye contact with us, nor did they say anything to let us know that someone would be over, but we checked out the menus that were sitting on the table and made our decisions on food and drinks since we were in no rush and tend to be understanding since weve worked in the business. Still no one came over to us but the bartender asked the men (feet away from us) if they needed anything else to drink or how their food was at least twice during the 15 minutes we waited for a server. During that time she also served two men who came up after us who sat at the bar and appeared to be regulars of hers before she disappeared downstairs and one of the other employees who had been sitting on the other side of the bar took her place. This replacement bartender also asked all of the men at the bar if they needed anything before deciding to peel wrappers off of straws instead of taking our order. I went to the bar, thinking perhaps that there were no servers and only bartenders who were too shy to say something to us about sitting at tables. I approached the bar, where all 5 men looked up and acknowledged me but the bartender did a round about the bar and never once picked her head up, as if avoiding eye contact with me. I asked the 3 guys, that had been there since we arrived (almost 20 minutes earlier), if I was invisible, then told my husband that I didnt want to stay and wait for people who ignored their customers.Ive been both a server and a bartender and now Im a business owner, where service is the key to our success. I tip well (and even better for great service) but apparently these women dont earn money from good service and they definitely wont be earning anything from us as we will not be returning.Dont bother with this place; Go across the plaza to the other rooftop bar/restaurant if you need something nearby or (after 4pm) try 230 5th rooftop for stunning views of the city.

The service was slow. The waitress Merilee (I probably didnt spell her name right) kept saying its not me everytime we didnt get our order correct. The kitchen staff sent out cold food because they wanted to close the kitchen. And when has a draft beer cost $8!!!

Nice location right on 34th street literally across the street from Madison square garden. The drinks were perfect and the service superb. The food wasnt bad but its definitely just a bar place mostly finger foods, burgers, and house salads. I sat on their outside roof top seating nice and clean not too much shading so be prepared for a tan lol. Ultimately if you looking for some good drinks relatively cheap and to catch a game this is a great place to be.

We went for a happy hour after work with a big group. Good selection of drinks. Outdoor space to hangout and so close to Penn station. Had a great time! Will definitely go again.

Would have been so nice. But my 21 year old daughter, who lives in NYC, and I both felt the same—the music, for what this place is, is WAY too loud. It just doesn’t fit. 4 PM and the music gets turned up so loud you can’t hear each other. That’s not the kind of place this is. Just didn’t work…

Great if theres this open beer garden right outside Madison Square Garden next to Penn Station! Issue is the food is mediocre and the crowd might be less than mediocre. The place looks cool I dont know why the crowd its so random. Maybe its the location by Penn Station. Service is really slow maybe its because the restaurant doesnt fully staff the outside. You think that a lot of their customers have someplace to go , i.e., a train at Penn Station event at Madison Square Garden so they should consider timing in their service - that does not seem to be consideration.

A fun and lighthearted place to hang out for a bit. Great if you are waiting for a train or an event at Madison square garden. Though I imagine it might get crowded after an event, it was not crowded at happy hour.

Thanks for the worst dining experience Ive had in 5 years.You make me wait 30 minutes to take my order;Fail to be around to take an order for the extra 4 drinks you would have sold;Have a host that ignored me STANDING on my chair calling for his attention from 5 feet away;Forget to bring me ketchup before I finish my fries, and;It takes you 5 employees and another 30 minutes to get me a check.Bravo, you do a bang up job! Lucky for you that youre proximity to Penn Station & MSG allows you to get away with having such crappy service.

Good place for beer and get together but beware of the smell. I am guessing by the bushes outdoor werent cleaned well and can smell puke smell. Inside is a little better, but cleanliness is not there for the local

This is my 2nd time here and both times have been great. I have eaten on the rooftop and downstairs. Food is good and so is the service.

Coming here for an event, I openly wondered where exactly this place was. You know that little bar-building across the street from MSG on 8th Ave and 33th?? Apparently thats it. I was in the backyard beer garden for most of the time, where is about as inspiring as Penn Station itself: basically, a concrete slab with some decoration including long wooden tables and some basic foliage for shade. The rooftop is a little nicer, as you have more of a view up there. Bartenders were mostly aloof where ever you go though. Having to wait for a glass of water for over 10 minutes while watching the bartender I asked pre-mix drinks before getting me anything wasnt exactly impressive.Food was completely mediocre. I like the concept of pretzel buns for their sliders, but they overcooked the patties badly and the buns got hard before long. The nachos, mozzarella sticks and wings were all just okay. Beer selection was a bit better than expected, but thats just because my standards were very low going in; overall it was average for Midtown. However the tap lines were bad--especially evident on the water--which I was concerned about. Drinks were pricey as you could expect; I only got a beer, but it was ~$8 for something that wasnt really special at all. All said I had good company, but it was a mediocre experience otherwise. This place is only about location.

Without any warning they added 4% to our bill for “CC Admin”. Is this typical of NY restaurants and bars? If they really need this to survive, just like a gas station they should tell you they give a discount for cash or else make the surcharge clear by signage and on the menu.Food was ok but not worth the hassle.

Eat outside upstairs in front of the Madison Square garden at the bar, cannot be beat in 50 degree weather.

The food was terrible. I had a hamburger which was not great. My daughter had sliders that she ate one bite of. I tried one of her sliders and it was bad. They served me a Heineken on tap which was warm. I will never go back.

Patio upstairs is fun . Good drinks. Great vibe and views .

I love NY City, The energy the traffic the people to take pictures on the sidewalk of anything and everything I can it just is all marvelous its great its New York City its where everybody should come it humbles you and as Henry Miller said its ugly.

The service is horrible. It took forever for someone to come greet us. Waited a long time for our food because the kitchen lost our order. Was told we would get a discount by the original waitress who we never saw again. When we finally got our food, my moms order was wrong, but at that point we had waited so long she ate it anyway. My drink was empty for at least 10 minutes. Took 15 minutes for us to ask a waitress to get our check. Took another 15 to actually get it. Meanwhile, waitresses are helping others. And the busboy actually moved our drinks and cleaned our table. Thats so rude. And he asked me if I was done with my drink after he watched me drinking from it still. Horrible service for overpriced food. Lowest tip I have ever left. Will never go back here. Im surprised people have good experiences.OH and the bathroom? Used tampons and bloody tissue paper on the floor. And in three stalls, no toilet paper. Absolute garbage excuse for a restaurant.

Draft beer wasnt cold, cocktails were mediocre at best and the mushroom appetizer was very lack luster. I did enjoy the atmosphere of the rooftop bar.

Ehhhhh. We went on Friday for happy hour. There were four or five waitresses behind the bar but only one making drinks. Beer was warm. Service was slow. Food was ok but nothing to bring me back.

Next to Penn station is this square with a stretch of artificial grass and some tables to sit down in the sun. You can get beers at the outdoors bar. We didnt eat there, but there are options for food too (simple comfort food). In the sun this was an enjoyable experience.

Great rooftop option if its not too cold with terrific views of Penn station and Madison Square garden

So fun ! Best kept secret.. 10+ years in the city I never heard of them. Loved the roof top seating & didnt expect food this good in a bar

Love this place... Highly convenient for commuters and the bar hostesses are really amazing people. Been a regular patron for years and have had nothing but the best times.. definitely recommend for group events cause they really take care of you here

This is a really good option right across from the garden. The bartender was really nice and the prices are good. Food is decent and drinks are strong. Its actually kind of a surprise that it exists right across from the garden. I will go back.

Travel to NY for my Birthday stop to eat some crab cakes and slaw it was very delicious.

Amazing drinks, wonderful service! Great place to drink and have fun!

Food OK. Service is not great! Waitress on May 8th after 8:30pm decides who she wants to serve.... Worse service ever!

Terrible service. Order some beer, never to see our young waitress again to order food. A gentleman was the one to deliver our drinks. A busboy, I think. Walked out after30 min wait, after i retrieved my CC. Avoid!!

Great atmosphere, food arrived very quickly. We were served by Javier, he was excellent, super attentive and kind.

This place should be call regret, enormous wait, overpriced, food was horrible, chicken tenders had no breading on it...

This place is a total meat market. Lots of icky guys hitting on people. Drinks are overpriced, but the roof is a really cool space. I work down the street and we never do happy hour here, because of the prices and clientele.

Wait staff was just pure chaos. It took them 10 minutes to clean up broken glass. Drinks and food were mixed up. The food once we actually got it was fine though.

Stopped by here to kill 30 minutes before catching a train at the Penn station. The beer list is decent, so I ordered Allegash. The beer arrives - without a glass. Now at $7 a beer (which actually miraculously turned into $10, but more on that later), I expect a glass. So I ask for a glass, and instead I get this beat up plastic tumbler that looks dirty albeit the bartender claims its not. The beer is from Maine, so I assume its $7 domestic per menu- but the waitress is asking for $10. WTF? Oh, apparently Maine beer is imported and there is an additional $2 charge for being on a rooftop, which is not mentioned anywhere. So, unless you want to pay $10 for a beer in a dirty glass for the privilege of being on a 2nd floor rooftop, stay away from this place.

A really good place to go to, the rooftop bar just beside MSG gave us rest and shade on a hot and crowded day.The staff was so friendly, marvelous, will remember this. ♥️

Kinda like eating at Applebees, but the staff is usually good and they have decent beer. Dont waste your money on food

Great food and service with a view of Madison Square Garden from the rooftop bar/dining area.

I work nearby and wanted to check this place out. I went for lunch one day and had the sliders and fries. The sliders were really tasty and I just goobled them up.....My Bloody Mary was amazing! I will definitely come here again to try something else.

The service is awful, I basically had to corner our waitress in order for her to take our drinks. There was a couple who spilled a drink and its been 40 minutes no one has come to clean it up. We also havent seen or herd from our waitress in regards to our order.

Its an ok spot for where it is... Right next to MSG. Food was ok, beers over priced, rowdy crowd anytime there is a game but thats to be expected. Problem was they seated us and forgot all about us for 20 minutes because they had a group of guys and girls waiting on a game to start... Had to flag their attn..

Food was pretty good and the service was excellent even though it was a game night therefore super busy.

Great view of both! Great rooftop bar with awesome food & drink menu!

Be careful with this place. The waitress (Isabella? Anabella?) took our card and told us that we could pay later with card or cash. When we asked for the bill, she went ahead, passed the card and charged us a surplus for credit card processing even though ours was a debit one and they explicitly said they wouldnt do that to debit cards (see picture attached).Avoid this place.

Amazing food friendly staff, after being disappointed at another local bar in the area. Would recommend.

Good atmosphere, and the same for the food and drinks. Not too crowded and it has an outdoor dining area. A nice place for a casual post work stop

Wow this place was a great stay for me while I attended a youth assembly at the United Nations. I was able to get around due to its good location and I also met some awesome people that I spent a day in New York with!

Good food, good prices, good deals on drinks and a nice roof top. Smells like horse manure sometimes. Not often but enough to mention

Ran out of prosciutto, so they made vodka sauce with bacon. Drinks were fine. Sorta pricey for a restaurant thats nothing to write home about.

I LOVE THE ATMOSPHERE. THE PRICES ARE REASONABLE. THE ROOFTOP BAR IS GREAT. I would give it a 5 but the tap beer on the rooftop is only lukewarm.

Run of the mill regular bar.. nothing special. Expensive drinks and average food. But very convenient if you want something before going to MSG.

A great spot to enjoy rooftop drinks before or after a game, or to sit and watch a game on one of their countless TVs. The French Onion Burger is our go to food here.

Honestly some of the best nachos I’ve ever had. Great place for a happy hour and good service.

My wife and I love the rooftop seating at this restaurant. It holds a special place for us because we first met in NYC 5 years ago and we just got married yesterday so we went to Local to celebrate after walking spring Central Park at sunset.The rooftop section was very busy as expected BUT what was not expected was the incredibly speedy service we received. Our servers were fantastic. The drinks tasted great - thanks for making my wife’s motto just strong enough :)We also had the buffalo chicken dip and bacon horseradish sliders. The dip was delicious. The sliders were good too but wouldn’t necessarily order them again since they were small also

Excellent Jack & Coke, wings & sweet potato fries. Great Customer Service also. Nice ambiance.

Food was decent and drinks were good. Initial bartender was great but the shift change at happy hour were clearly overwhelmed, clueless, and just didnt care.

Great location to get together with friends. Food and drink are good... just bring patience if its busy. 😊

Waited 35 min for a burger that never came. At least, the German bar tender upstairs was cool about it and apologized on behalf of the kitchen.

My go to place when im.in the city.

Nice staff. Was hanging at the roof top bar before Dead &Company show at Madison Square garden. right across the street.

Slow service. Menu limited and ordinary.There is upstairs outdoor section. Maybe thats reason for the service delay, given minimal waitstaff (we were on ground floor).

Good location for msg or penn station with rooftop. Music was extremely loud. Food was decent.

Could only order cider inside but that by far is my only complaint. Staff were kind, quick and kept me hydrated. The patio is so relaxing and great for people watching. Whether youre going to an event at Madison Square Garden or just looking for a chill environment to grab a drink after work, Local NYC has got you covered!

Food was awful service was rushed and unprofessional. Really with all the places to go can you afford to have things below average? Wake up

Location is very center .. service was too late

Service was a bit to be desired. I get it was crowded but getting not even a nod from the waitress was bad.

Great place. Happy hour every day from 5 to 7. Cant beat the service.

Perfect location, reasonably priced, wait staff was attentive. They did mess up the order but fixed it

Nice ambience gorgeous views the food is uninspired and bland

It was a nice place. Had a couple or beers and chatted. Service was good as well.

Though the service is really slow the Local NYC has a great atmosphere and good eats.

Its Penn Station! The big, bustling train station with lots of people and quick food. It also smells like urine, but not always!

Food is horrible and the drinks are ok, waiters are nice the view is great upstairs

Happy hour beers are cold and the atmosphere is good on sunny days. I would not recommend the Local burger.

Friendly waitress, had a very nice salad and their mezcal cocktail is very good. Nice location next to the Madison Square Garden

Always a good time or whats needed. Stopped In after a meeting for lunch and had some good convo along with some good food...beer on tap was good as usual

Classic pre-show at MSG! Great and convenient rooftop. Also indoor available in the event of rain

Good bar for the area. Really is only crowded before and after games at MSG. The 2nd floor roof is nice in the summer.

Staff is cool, food is okay. They charge a CC processing fee. Bro Im not a tourist....

Staff was super friendly. Food and drinks were good and the location and views were great

Great apps. Rooftop bar was very refreshing. Bar staff was friendly and helpful

I don’t know what happened to this place after new management, they are never open though the website keeps saying they are. They’ve been “under construction” for months now. It sucks because my coworkers and I would come here a lot for drinks and the awesome food (honey garlic wings were the best). It’s a disappointment honestly. Hopefully they’ll get it together soon.

Make sure you ask about the happy hour specials while you’re there, or you’ll end up paying X2 as much as you have to.

The food wasnt that great but service was good

Service was terrible. Messed up all 4 of our orders and tried charging us extra

Outside seating upstairs. Good place if your with for a train at Pen Station or meeting someone off the train.

Food was alright but unfortunately they messed up all 3 of our orders.

Didnt get service for about 15 minutes - ordered a soda, a beer and fries and the waitress came back 10 minutes later to ask us to repeat the order - was brought a flat diet soda instead of a coke, then the waitress never came back.

Great customer service. Good spot to grab drinks and food after a event at MSG.

Every time I come to this pLace alway have a great time. Alex is an amazing bartender and very attentiv. Come on down

Solid drinks and food. Great Happy Hour pricing.

I come here all the time with my girlfriends. Great food and wonderful music.

Incredibly rude staff- witnessed them kick a customer out who had a service animal, which also happens to be illegal. They may want to brush up on their legal training

Great location....food and bevies sub par....warm beer and flat seltzer....

Great service with Liz upstairs, tasty food and the primest of spots!

Cool place just very loud music hard to talk and it’s a venue on a Sunday where people are sitting around and chatting in the sunshine

This place no longer exists. Please edit. And take down. Its not open . Business close down .

Below average food at NYC prices. Poor service. Wouldnt return or recommend.

Love local nyc rooftop, I always have a great time here when I go. Friendly workers.

Great place to hangout on a game night or on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Friendly staff and amazing food.

Rude service, the place was almost empty and they didnt serve me a drink saying I should order the food by the law. Crazy

Great spot next to MSG! Stopped in to pregame before a concert and Chelsea at the 1st floor bar really showed us some love. Thanks for being lovely and for the amazing service!

Awesome service and food!!

Sat in beer garden located behind Local and next to 1 Penn Plaza. Nice beer selection, service was so-so.

Glorified Applebee’s. Cold food. Overpriced drinks. Basic American Cuisine: underwhelming effort.

Worked with Monica on a corporate event. So easy, great deal, all good! Thank you!

Super nice service, clean and great atmosphere

This is our go to place before the Billy Joel concert. Weve always sat on the rooftop. Good food, and atmosphere. Happy hour is the way to go.

Awesome bar food with rooftop dining. Lovely staff. Bartender was lovely. Highly recommend.

Food is good but service very slow even wth empty room

Loved the family style meals. Made it a great experience.

Great service and drinks! Manager Marianne is awesome !

Friendly and quick service but nachos I had were horrible. Plain basic. Not worth the price. Could’ve bought some out of vendor machine and added cheese. It wasn’t enough dressings for nachos. Beer prices good. Next time I’ll just stick to burger. I had eaten somewhere else. I only ordered something to get a table. Came just for a beer

High prices, expected in a midtown establishment. Service is generally mediocre at best.

I was on my way home from Jersey and was famished and couldnt wait and found this place. Glad I did. Amazing burger, friendly waiter, actual hot water in the bathroom sink to wash my hands! Good atmosphere. Will return.

Great bar. Went there for lunch. Had some finger foods. Little pricey but what do you expect for Manhattan?

Been going here for July 4th weekend the past 3 years. Loved the place for their views and decent drinks.Not a regular but last visit made me feel the place has gone way down hill. Completely empty on a Saturday night was not a good sign. Service is terrible, last time I went we had to flag down multiple people to order. Service was way better when they allowed online order to the tables.Waiter had our order wrong and we had to correct him multiple times. Cocktails were the worst I’ve had in nyc. Ordered a bikini bottom, two “she only smokes when she drinks” and a gold rush. Each one was virtually undrinkable. We decided to go with regular liquor after this.Will not be coming back next time I’m in town.

Decent spot near Penn Station area, with indoor and outdoor seating.

Went here for a business event. Food not great and very few servers for the crowd.

Awesome roof top bar and great when the weather is on point

Its openseating. Very friendly and casual. Get the grilled shrimp!.

Went here twice while in NYC. First time on the roof which was a great refuge from the activity at ground level. Second time I was inside because of the rain. Had the sliders that were amazing and meatballs that were equally as yum.Definitely recommend this place.

Its a nice after work spot to get some drinks and hangout.

Nice rooftop patio. Like others have commented, draft beers do not taste good, they need to clean the system more often. But good selection of bottles/cans with reasonable prices. Also specials on beer buckets. I do recommend and I will go again, but stay away from drafts.

I advise against. I got an undrinkable beer - Samuel Adams Draft. the beer was either spoiled or drunk in a dirty glass. It smelled and was tasteless. I reported the problem and asked for a replacement. yet I was charged for 3 beers including the spoiled one which I left untouched. I strongly advise against it - they only look at how to stretch the client.

Small cute place for drinks, a snack and on nice days the rooftop. The workers were very nice.

Last night was the best ever !! Thx to Sam for his super fast hands!

Nice spot to grab a drink and a bite before catching our bus back home!

Possibly the worst cocktail I’ve ever had. Great location and rooftop bar is cool but that’s about it.

Great place, great location, great staff......love the rooftop bar!!

Fairly good place, but never really feel the love hear

Second time here and not a good experience. Same issue we were ignored for at least 45 mns.

Really clean and super affordable! Would definitely come back.

It was ok but their tables need to be updated because they are wobbly

Service was a little slow, and food was good.

Overpriced and bland food. Mosquito problem to beat the band.

Love rooftop pre MSG phish

Stop by for an energetic atmosphere and some great happy hour drink deals!

The rooftop area is great, weather permitting of course!

Fraudulent ChargesI’ve been to this bar plenty of times. The last time i went (12/19/22) was the worst experience ever. I went in had a glass of wine, the waitress took my debit card. When I asked her to close me out, she had not only given my card to another customer, but charged me someone else’s check. All of this was never told to me. All the manager told me, was that my card was given to another customer. When I disputed the charges with Chase, this establishment lied and said I paid by entering my pin. A $12 glass of wine, turned into $107.65. I will never come to this establishment again

Nice place but need a larger selection of draft beers. We had the navchos and they were good

Sports bar vibe.. friendly people, friendly help. good price for bulk :))

Ok food nice service, great location

Good drinks, light menu , quick service

Was a great place. Bartenders are still friendly but new management is uselessmakingthe place a mess. Good happy hour specials 7 days a week. Like its sister Lucys seems new management of Local put little tables in the bar area so no where to stand in the bar area. So dropping them from five stars to one star.

Great place, quick service. Lovely drinks, we only had a plate of fries, cant judge the food.

Great cozy 2 level bar with the second floor being a rooftop. Great place to pregame for a concert or game at MSG. Must visit!

Came here to have drinks and food before a game and they seated two patrons who came in after me. Really unacceptable

Love the roof deck here, nice on a sunny day

Waited for 20 mins and no one came to wait on us. I only gave you one star because I had to.

Nice place to people watch. Food was ok

Really nice place, loved the atmosphere and the street view. It truly makes you feel like you are in the center of the best city in the planet, New York NY!!!

Roof top, bar, great food. Its what its about. Do this

Not the fanciest food Ive ever had, but they were super friendly and tried really hard to make sure I enjoyed my dinner and my time at their restaurant. The location is convenient. And you can order on their app directly from your table in case its super busy and your server doesnt have time to visit you. My server was very nice and my chicken sandwich was good. I would go back
