We stopped in last weekend on Saturday night for dinner. The place was quite busy. We sat at the bar and had a drink while we waited for a table. The food was delicious. The service was decent. The food was very good and reasonable price for NYC.

Nice pub, where the song selection and atmosphere were good. But quite expansiveI enjoyed a glass of Yuengling Traditional Lager. I got a recommendation of this because they didnt have a Brooklyn Lager, but its not bad anyway. There was a thrilling carbonation in my mouth.

We came here to watch the Nebraska game. This is the official NYC watch site. They have ample and comfortable seating. Service is friendly and consistent. Regular check ins and quick delivery of food/drink. The food is very good with good portions. Cooked perfectly and with care. We look forward to enjoying this establishment regularly.

Very chill vibes which was exactly what I was looking for. Sweet potato fries were fresh, crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. They were exactly how I like them. My Shirley temple was delicious, too. Great service overall.

Solid Irish pub vibes with food that hits the spot and drinks that hit harder. Cozy without being cramped, but service can slow when it’s busy. Not groundbreaking, but reliably good. The whiskey selection won’t disappoint.

I visited the Brazen twice (Saturday and Sunday) around the same time - 12:30 PM.During this time the pub is nice and quiet. Not packed. There were more people here on Sunday probably due to the early Broadway shows ending around lunch time.The bartender Bill is fantastic and extremely friendly. Hes always up for a chat, especially if youre sitting at the bar itself which I was.There are plenty of TV screens here as well so if you want to catch a game, this is the place!Ill definitely come back!Pro-tip: If you like burgers, get the Brazen! It was delicious!

Six of us came in for a few cocktails. We didnt have any food, so cant comment on that. Service was mediocre for a bar and only having cocktails. Asked for a few different martinis and each one tasted the same...lemon drop vs. a cosmo. Even shots of vodka seemed watered down. I think the bartenders should stick to pouring beers or maybe get back to mixology school for a refresher course. While were on the subject of school, have the waitstaff get a refresher on math for addition and subtraction. Wont be returning, too many other choices available for a simple cocktail.

If you want a woodsy, classic sports bar feel - this has that atmosphere. We made a reservation & got seated immediately, but overall service was spotty/a bit lacking/slow. This is located very near theaters & other attractions, so it’s handily located - but if you’re in a time crunch or need to make a show, request checks early.The food was decent, just a bit overpriced for tavern fare. I might recommend this spot more for drinks & watching sports.

Visited twice during one week stay in NY. Pre theatre dinner and on the last day. The service was excellent and quick. Friendly staff. The pub is cosy, love the decor. All food was on the cold side. Large portions great for sharing.

They have great, affordable cocktails for the city and a nice selection of draft beers. The service was fast and the location is walking distance to multiple Broadway theaters.Unfortunately the food was a miss for me. They didn’t have a great selection on the menu. My nachos were cold and the burger was just okay. The fries did not taste fresh.I absolutely would return here, although just for pre-show drinks.

Cool Irish tavern to grab a drink and the back room is very cozy, though the furniture, specifically the couch (leather) feels like it came out of a college dorm. There are TV’s and an electric fireplace to add to the ambiance.

Great local watering hole and bar. Lots of variety of drinks besides the usual Guinness. I was very pleased with my Jalepeno Ginger Mule. Tingly and its got a kick. The portions of food were easy to share and lots of good eats at economical prices considering its steps from the Theater district. Must try. The pretzel and cheese dip is also worth a mention.

Came here to watch the Yankees game and have a few drinks. The game wasn’t on but they changed it for us. I stated with an old fashion. They game me a dehydrated lime with it…usually it gets a cherry and an orange, but it still tasted good. Then I realized they are known for their mules, so I got an Irish Mule. It was good and refreshing. Nice atmosphere and good vibes here, also it has some history with George Washington, very interesting.

Its a cozy place with delicious food and generous portions. If youre not a big eater, get an app and one dish to split. The shepherds pie was amazing and my picky mom loved the fish and chips. The staff was busy, can but friendly, and the bathrooms are clean. There is a cozy fireplace if you can claim a spot near it! I would go back.

My wife and I traveled to NYC a few days ago. I searched around the hotel and found The Brazen Tavren, a unique Irish restaurant and bar. Service were very friendly. The food was delicious and the cocktail was perfect. The trip ended with two consecutive nights. Come and enjoy the wine. I promise that I will visit this bar again next time I come to NYC! Highly recommended!

It a great place to have a beer and a bite to eat. Very friendly staff, Chris and Shane are the two bar staff we came into contact with. They both have a great sense of humour with good speedy service every time. The waitresses are also very friendly and helpful. Lots of TV screens so you can watch the sport, but they are not loud enough so you cant sit n chat. The locals were very welcoming to us in our week in New York. All round its great place with a warm atmosphere, helped by the cozy fire which sits in the back.

My wife and I were in NYC for the weekend looking for a place for dinner near our hotel. The Brazen Tavern fit the bill, ambience was what we were looking for, service great, and food great. The place was clean and just a great atmosphere. What made our night was the GM Boston Mike, come to find out we grew up in the same town and attended the same elementary school. We reminisced, laughed and had such a great time, thanks Mike for making the evening even better .

Review №28

UPDATE: something changed here; the service is insultingly languid, we waited fifteen minutes for our server to come to our table, and eventually went to the bar to beg for help with an order of two cheeseburgers. The food was prepared as an afterthought, I’d not feel comfortable serving this low quality to my guests. We will not be returning to what was once one of the best restaurants in NYC.+++Remarkably excellent happy hour, it’s hard to believe this is NYC!

Harry was an absolutely phenomenal waiter. He got to us right away, made sure we got our order in before their cook stopped cooking, and gave us time to eat and all while wearing a smile. We ended up wandering into this little pub and it was so much better than standing out in the streets in the cold trying to find somewhere to watch the ball drop. We watched it from a comfortable and cute environment with heat and a bathroom. The only negative is that the bathroom needs the lights fixed. Other than that, id definitely recommend.

Review №36

Stopped by for a quick drink after a show. The place had a few people but was pretty casual and relaxed. I especially like the backroom which had a more warm intimate atmosphere. It was adorable. The bartender was friendly and pretty hands-off but made sure to check on us periodically. For my drink I got the Jameson ginger mule. Pretty straightforward and not too strong. Overall, a fine bar. Nothing that super stood out but the kind of place I’d be happy to casually stop by for a drink.

Lively atmosphere and delicious pub fare, reasonably priced too which is always a plus. We came in a bit late for our reservation before a broadway show and even though the place was packed, the staff found us a table and our drink and food orders were taken immediately to accommodate. Service was quick and excellent. We never had to flag our server down in the mayhem and she also made conversation with us. We also loved the chicken curry! Definitely will be coming back next time we have a show!

Review №39

Place is absolutely gorgeous. There is no price difference between their gameday, happy hour or regular menu. Dont know if there is a portion difference but got chicken tenders as a snack. 16$ for 3 medium tenders served on arugula. Almost cafeteria quality. Their house made honey mustard was really good. My girl got the nachos which were at-least well portioned. Staff has like 2 people who truly know and or care about their job. At first i got excited thinking of divebar feels from my hometown in NJ. But in reality this location is the overpriced experience that kills the actual magic and wonder that people have when they come to visit. Im assuming i came on an off night so i dont feel like a review bomb is necessary.

My husband and I hosted a small private event last night in the back room with the fireplace, and it was so charming and warm and cozy and perfect for the holidays. Aisling the manager, was so attentive and helpful in helping us plan. We ordered platters of food which were absolutely delicious! Highly recommend the mac and cheese balls and the spinach and artichoke spring rolls. The service was fantastic and everyone was lovely. Thank you again:)

I have hosted two large group events at the Brazen and will be going back for my 3rd this fall - a hit every time! The events team at Brazen is easy to work with, very accommodating, and the planning process every year has been as easy as could be. On top of that, the staff and service every year never disappoint and always ensure a successful and enjoyable event for our clients. The food and drink are always fan favorites, and I would recommend to anyone looking for accessible and casual digs to host your next event

Review №44

Really nice place in the heart of the theater district. It reminds me of an old time pub. They have a bar along many tables to sit and eat. The place is a little narrow so I imagine it would be hard to move hard if it gets crowded. We were there on marathon Sunday at brunch time. Not too crowded as they just opened.The food is excellent. Fresh ingredients fresh fruit and they make excellent omelettes.I had the omelette with fresh goat cheese. Excellent!!! They also make an outstanding bloody Mary and Mimosas.😁😁😁 They have a great selection of foods to choose from. They make really good burgers and crispy fries.If youre vegan...no problem they have a good selection for you.Best of all the prices are commensurate with the area and the service was very good. Staff was very attentive to detail. You wont go wrong for stopping by for awesome food.

We came into the City from CT and had a great happy hour here; we had drinks and food. Stopped in before seeing A Beautiful Noise. The manager, Mike, and waitstaff were super warm and friendly; they really made our visit. We talked about our connection to Boston-Dorchester and many other fun topics. The food was outstanding. We had the burger sliders and fish tacos. The beef in the burger was quality and the fish tacos were made with Mahi-mahi, not cod. We had dessert too-why not! Apple crumb pie which was unbelievably delicious and killer chocolate cake. We took our time, enjoyed the bar, savored the food, and can only say it was a home run for us!

I stopped here with friend while bar hopping. I arrived at 6.30pm on Friday and they had happy hour until 8. 7$ for house whisky which was quiet tasty to have it on the rocks. I also liked it with club soda. The service was very good and our waitress was quiet attentive. We had mentioned we wont be placing order for food so she did not bother us asking for food. We were also given very good seating as the bar area was full. Definitely recommend making use of their happy hour perks.

We stopped in for a really, REALLY quick bite before a show. Had the absolute pleasure of listening to a group of at least 14 say everything was awesome but such a rip off out loud, which made my friend and I feel really bad for the servers. The wings we got were awesome, and our drinks were tasty too. Servers were busy and navigating through some tight spaces here but hey, its NY in Times Square. Kind of expected!PS- check out their really cool fireplace lounge in the back of the restaurant!

The food was pretty meh. The sliders were incredibly greasy, fries were limp and a little sad, fish tacos are pretty good, the pear and goat cheese pizza was very good but it took an hour and a half to get to our table. The waitress was lovely and when our food took an hour to even start to arrive, she comped our drinks. And when the pizza took an hour and a half, she comped that too. Overall, the prices are good for New York so I guess you get what you pay for. And they play really good music!

Review №65

I usually always have a great time when I come here. Tonight was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever encountered. I walked in, sat at a table for 12 mins as I watched the other waitresses (ON A LESS THAN EVENTFUL EVENING) wait on other people & completely treat me as I was invisible. I felt so disgusted by this experience. I’ve never experienced racism in a restaurant before, but this surely felt like it. Everyone in the restaurant was White and being waited on, and I wasn’t given any attention even when the waitress made eye contact with me and I was trying to wave her down. I wound up talking to the manager about her disrespectful behavior, but the manager made excuses for her & said he will “handle” the situation. I doubt anything will come of it. Hopefully this never happens to anyone else.

Stopped by for a few rounds after dinner and easily found seats at the bar in front of a tv to watch some basketball. We didnt order food but occasionally smelled something good. Our bartender was great and switched our tv over to a womens game after the mens finished up, but another guy (the owner?) came over and switched all the TVs to coverage of an upcoming mens game (upcoming, as in there was nearly 10 minutes left before it even started). Thats the reason its not 5/5 for me - I found it very rude and when I said I was watching the last game (literally 25 seconds left, 2 point game) he just shrugged and walked away

More like a 3.5. Decent pub fare. Try to get a table at the very front or in the back because the middle can get noisy. The shepherds pie was very good, wings decent but a little dry. Fish and chips...meh. Crab cakes very good along with the deviled eggs. Burger meh. Service was very nice. Overall, a good, inexpensive pre-theatre spot. Would give it another try.

Quote good. Avg prices on burgers etc is $15 to $17. Lite pricey but you are in the theater district. Beers are 5 to $7. Other than that nothing special. They have an upstairs. Not sure on live music etc. Its tough, very tough to run a bar business. There rent must be skyhigh. Stop in. Its like a neighborhood bar restaurant.

Celebrated my mothers 60th surprise birthday on the 2nd floor. Its a beautiful bar newly renovated and the staff is immaculate. They show true professionalism and made my moms birthday party perfect. From fast and efficient service at the bar, to constantly refilling appetizer trays, and making sure our party remained private and separate from the rest of the public. They truly delivered and I couldnt have been more satisfied with the venue and the service. Both Geraldine(the manager) and Ruthie(the bartender) were more then amazing and went above and beyond. They have great personalties and really made me and my guests feel special. So I would highly recommend this bar to throw a private party(check out the 2nd FL!!) as well as to unwind and grab a few drinks and apps. I am forever a customer at the Brazen Tavern. Thanks so much to these ladies!!

A cool spot all around. Came here to see college friends and we hung out in the back with the couches and vibed all night. The decor is chic and in general a darker vibe. It’s a sports bar through and through and just a cool spot to get some drinks. The bartender was hella cool and when we were the last group there we got ask him to turn the music off a sec and sing our college a cappella songs! A little unconventional but that’s a NYC night for ya (and on a Sunday no less!).Haven’t had food here but the drinks and shot were pretty good and decently strong!On Site:—Bathrooms—An upstairs bar—Couches and lounge area

We loved this pub over several others we visited on this weekend. Friendly people and the atmosphere was great, not sure if it was just because of the holidays but we still loved our time there.

Irish pub with happy hour until 8pm and a real fireplace in the back. Came here on a Monday night to catch up with a friend over drinks. The sangria was tasty and not overly sweet. We split a plate of shepherd pie nachos that I really enjoyed. The sauce was sweet and there was also mashed potatoes sprinkled throughout. The waitress was super sweet and very accommodating - she also had the best Irish accent. She told us to go ahead and take the chairs by the fireplace which was such a good idea. The fireplace was in the back of the restaurant and so are the bathrooms. The chairs were comfy and there were couches as well. It’s a pretty big space so you could come with a big group or you could cozy up in the back and hang out for a couple of hours. There was also a couch in case the two chairs are occupied. They do take credit card and it’s a quick walk from Times Square, not not touristy. Overall it’s cool that it has a long happy hour with friendly service and good food.

We sprang an unexpected and impromptu party on The Brazen Tavern with about 20 guests during a busy Wednesday night happy hour. Manager Boston Mike and team didn’t bat an eye and immediately welcomed us in and found tables for all of us. Mike and his team handled everything with efficiency, humor and fantastic service. We had a great time! Would definitely recommend for great atmosphere, excellent food and outstanding service! I will forever appreciate how Mike and team accommodated our group with welcoming warmth and humor.

Mike the manager and Harry the bartender kept my wife and me laughing all night, even though we only intended to stop by for 1 drink. The food was great (pretzel!) and the bar was extremely clean. This is an old local favorite for us and it was great coming back after so long and having it feel like home again. Can’t wait to come back!

There were three different categories of menu; Happy Hour, Sport Event, and Regular. But the prices were THE SAME. We showed up for Happy Hour and were charged the same as the regular menu. Service was friendly at first but seemed understaffed to keep it up.WORST part of the menu is the Chicken Fingers Appetizer. It was 3 medium/small strips on a bed of arugula NOT asparagus as advertised in previous reviews and is STILL $16. We were very disappointed by this because the Nacho Appetizer, in comparison, was a great sharable portion for the same price.

Met a friend for drinks and we had a great time. First of all it wasnt that crowded which was great cause we didnt have to yell to hear each other. Our servers cause we had more than one were very attentive. Drinks were well made and they even adapted the margarita for me to be spicy, and checked up to make sure it was satisfactory. My friends drink was also quite yummy! We ordered some food but I didnt really eat anything but what I tried was pretty good. (some sort of sliders and the Bavarian pretzels).Would go back cause it is very convenient and great prices and offerings.

We enjoyed the drink special which was a lemon Martini...pretzels on the app menu were awesome. Served warm with dipping sauces, 3 separate pretzels makes it easy to share. They were light and buttery. Delicious. I got a salad with grilled chicken. It was huge. It was fresh greens and crunchy candied nuts. Great combination and very tasty, yummo.
