Amazing late night menu! After 9 pm, $5 house drafts that are great, smash burgers that are mouth watering, and more. Local bar for me and a no-brainer every time!

I ordered a beer and paid for it and the bar tender said you know it’s customary to tip in this country. Her exact words were ‘the nicer you tip the nicer I am to you as a bartender’. Felt quite uncomfortable and left right after I finished. Bar has a cool atmosphere, but I will not return because of the way I was spoken to.

We visited today as on holiday in the city, but fancied something a bit quieter and not as commercial. We came in for one and ended up having a few ales each and a meal. The drink selection is fantastic, the food tasty and the staff really nice and extremely good at their job! We felt really welcome and wished we could have stayed all evening!

♿ Been frequenting the alehouse for years now! And have always really loved the big window/outdoor vibe. They are accessible to wheelchairs, and their QR menu is readable to screen readers. While I used to really love their mushroom wraps, I am obsessed with their shishito peppers appetizer and really loved their chicken kebabs .

Me and my boyfriend stopped by at this pub a few times and now it’s definitely a spot to go to!The atmosphere is cozy and friendly.The staff is amazing! We got our order a bit messed up and the cook came out of the kitchen to apologize for that. It was absolutely not necessary but it showed a lot. It showed how much these people care about the service they provide 🙌🏻Bartenders are always nice and sweet and the food and drinks are great

Service was mediocre. We waited awhile to be checked on after receiving our meal, and the other waitress simply didnt acknowledge us once. The New York cheese cake looked like it had just been tossed on top of a glob of whipped cream with a dead cherry. Two stars for the nachos, best thing there.

Review №15

This is what $15 nachos look like here. A little bit of the toppings in the middle top layer and that’s it. Worst nachos ever.The staff is nice and the selection of drinks are good but the food is never worth the price.Go here for a drink and then keep it moving.

Nice little bar with good beer selection and friendly service. The burger was not so great. Served on an English muffin with bad American cheese...seemed to be cooked fine and all, but the taste combo was off. Like a McDonalds breakfast sandwich with a hamburger patty.

Review №18

VERY surprised that the reviews here are this high. Went here for a bit to spend time for my birthday, and was disgusted with my overall experience. First of all, my friends and I got seated all of the way in the back near some garbage dumpsters that belongs to the apartment building next door. Second, although we were provided with ice cold water at the start, it was about 20-minutes until we received a menu, and about 25-minutes after to even order. The kitchen employees were also doing the job of the waiters and waitresses (and did a much better job as well). Strangely enough, I have picture evidence of the disgusting place we were seated at but am unable to make the upload. Didnt bother order more at this place other than a simple beer. To no surprise, most recent NYC DOH Food Inspection was rated a C in February of 2023. Please do not believe other reviews here! They were either bought and pay for, or the staff favors certain groups over others!

I have been here many times because it is a local hang out after work with colleagues.This place is ok. Seems all upscale but its really just an average bar with a nice beer selection and bar food.Food:Never had a problem with the food. Always tasty and filling.If you are a Nachos fans this is a must here. Their everything Nachos are great!!Very nice portions to their dishes.Beers and drinks:They have a great beer selection. But they arent that cold. Even beers like Amstel Light are warm. If you like cold beer this isnt the place for you.

We stumbled on this place after attending a wonderful program at the 92nd St Y. There were several screens of sports games going on around the bar, but there is also a back room if youre looking for a quieter atmosphere. I enjoyed a decent pour of a dry Riesling, and the rest of our party had a cider and one of the beers on tap. We all were impressed with both the size and quality of the nachos. We will return after another program at the Y, Im sure.

The restaurant was excellent. I had a cup of teriffic soup followed by a bison burger, that I thoroughly enjoyed, along with sweet potato fries. The service couldnt have been better and I was able to top it all off with a Guinness. Nothing more need be said about that! I highly recommend this restaurant.

I’ve come here a lot over the years. I like their burgers and robust beer selection. For brunch “His Wife” is a delicious take on a croque madame.My qualms are: service takes forever, consistently. It seems like the waitstaff doesn’t have a system for who works which table. Additionally, this new “we charge 4% for you to use a credit card and we give you a 4% discount if you use cash” is confusing, unclear and a bit predatory. (See the photo I’ve uploaded). Lastly while I like the beers, they are way too expensive. $9 for a 16oz Stella?

Had brunch here just yesterday. The wait staff are all very friendly, and the backwaiting staff are attentive and prompt. Just expect the food to take a while. I didnt quite understand until I noticed how tiny the kitchen was relative to the size of the restaurant. We had the curry deviled eggs appetizer, which was the highlight: very flavorful and a solid portion. Two of us got the carmelized apple pancakes. The pancakes themselves were okay (my buddys had one burnt in the stack), but there werent nearly enough apples nor sufficient caramel sauce/syrup. I also ordered their homemade chicken sausage and home fries. Both were good--a little on the pricey side--, but the portions matched the price.

The Triple Pork Burger is something special. The English muffin bun was the best executed English muffin bun Ive every had. Usually its a hard, sloppy, stale mess thats too small for the burger, chewy and gross. This was perfection. The burger needed it. It desired it. It made love to it.... Okay, now Im getting carried away.Since I really dont like beer (*gasp*) I always appreciate anything non-beer on the drink menu. And I lurve me some cider. I usually like a crisp Woodpecker & will make do with a Magners. This was my first time having Angry Orchard. Its very sweet with a strong apple juice flavor, meaning not much of a kick, but its a perfect foil to the Triple Pork. ::cue Brady Bunch:: Porkchops and Applesauce. Back to the burger....Copy/Paste:Triple Pork Burger8 oz of grilled ground pork & chorizo, topped with bacon, served with adobo bbq sauceYes. Yes. Yes and yes. Comes with lettuce, red onions, tomato on the side. Go ahead and put something green on it to keep your cardiologist happy. You get the Adobo sauce on the top and the bottom for prime coverage. So much pork. So good.I paid the extra for the Garlic Sauteed Green Beans but to be honest, it didnt add anything to the meal. They werent very garlicky or seasoned. But since the burger is such a good sized portion, do you really need to destroy yourself with sides?The service was prompt, friendly and properly attentive. I was seated in the front with the bar and the television screens so I was exposed to a couple of Bros shouting at the Yankees and the Knicks, respectively. But if youre looking to talk to your date, this is a good date spot, theres plenty of seating in the rear. Just ask.I was extremely pleased with my tribute to pork. I just hope that one day I suffer a head injury and wake up loving beer. Its such a waste to go thru life without beer. So much beer.

Came here after work for a few drink with the fellas and to my surprise saw a rodent running around the back wall of the bar and all around the coffee machine. The bartender lady saw it but I guess seemed embarrassed however went on to eat her nachos which was also near the area of the rodents movement. That really grossed me out, I get it. NYC is dirty and it’s one thing if I don’t know but to see it in plain sight, nope! Never going back.

It seems to be a very elitist east side place. They took my beer away because I was looking at my phone and said I was drunk at 11:30 pm. I wasnt talking to anyone. The bartender said The bosses are watching me. My job is on the line. I would like to hear his side of the story.

Stopped going to Third Avenue Ale House before Covid. The place reminded me of an East Village dive bar; depressing, cluttered, with an indifferent, slovenly waitstaff. Happy to say things have changed. The place has been cleaned up---kitchen was moved to the rear. Our bartender was dressed appropriately. She was engaging and attentive. Another thing I appreciated was that the music was on even though a sporting event was on the TVs. TAAH is now a welcoming, neighborhood pub.

Review №148

Inexperienced kitchen and management make for a sub par experience, but would be a great episode for Bar Rescue. As much as I wanted to like this place, it came up way short on just about every level. My wife ordered Ruben Egg Rolls which were basically pockets of hot oil, probably from oil not being up to temp before dropping them into the frier. Then half way through my chicken club sandwich, which was pounded super thin, dry and served on a stale hamburger bun, I realized the lettuce was wilted all over and bacon was way undercooked. Starving I chose to pick off the undesirables and finish the sandwich. Since we were seated in the center of the bar area we no waitress and had to order from the bar, so I brought my leftover ugly fixings to the bar just as a heads up of what was coming out of the kitchen. I thought the wait staff would appreciate the transparency, otherwise they’d wonder why no body was coming back for more. I was told by the manager who happened to be right there I should have told her and she would have had the kitchen fire another. Well, a little to late for that. She failed to make it right. Hope they fix things or I see this place going downhill real fast.

The food was 4.5 - 5 star, the atmosphere 0 stars, so I figured 3 stars was a good compromise. On the plus side the food was great. My wife had the lamb burger, I had the veggie burger and my son the regular burger and all three were really delicious, with very tasty fries and a big, fresh salad. price reasonable for UES and our server was attentive and friendly.The problem was the atmosphere, which other reviewers have mentioned. Theres a cozy, neighborhood vibe to the place, which is nice, but the design and hard surfaces make it very loud. The night we were there - a Saturday at 6ish - there was a party in the back room, which is just past the main dining room and is not enclosed, just separated by a partial dividing wall. There was a large and extremely loud gathering of adults and tweens and the chaotic, screaming noise made what should have been a nice dining experience feel like being in the middle of a gym during rainy day recess at a middle school. It seemed as though some of the staff were maybe getting a bit exasperated but no one did anything about it.The restaurant clearly has the right to host a party, but my advice would be that if you are looking for a relatively calm dining experience (and again, the food was very tasty) you will want to call ahead to make sure there is no private party in the back room.

Cool spot. Great staff. Not sure if they usually have a better selection of whiskey or not, but it was fairly limited. Yes, Im aware its an ale house, but this lady enjoys whiskey over suds and day of the week!

Their burgers taste like meatloaf. Turns out they put breadcrumbs in them. Personally, I dont care, but my wife has gluten sensitivities, so this was an unpleasant surprise. The waitress was a darling, terribly sorry, had no idea. I must commend her on the customer service. And, our dog ended up grateful, too. So, not a complete loss. But, ya gotta be careful out there. I forgot to mention the beef chili as a soup of the day course. It was terrific.

Great atmosphere with an amazing/friendly staff. If youre looking for an area with a good variety of beers this is the perfect place for you. I love how they adapted the restaurant post-COVID. The TV placement in this bar is absolutely amazing (great wide screen TVs that are perfect for enjoying a game). I tried the mozzarella sticks and they were the best Ive ever tried in my life (mainly because the sauce was so tasty!).

I had the unfortunate experience of meeting one of the owners here. Not at all helpful and some of the worst customer service I’ve ever received. If you’re gonna hire bartenders who don’t know how to make simple drinks, maybe train them.

I have lived in this neighborhood for 20+ years. I am a small business person, and prefer small businesses.I have an Autistic son and he is well known in the neighborhood. He was banned recently by Third Avenue Ale House and he was in compliance with ALL NYC and NY State regulations when we tried to eat.I reached out to Management privately and they have not responded. Thus, I had to turn to Facebook.It is a difficult journey for our Autistic population, and I am disappointed that I had to leave this public review of a neighbor.

This review is not for the food but, for the short Asian or Korean server/bartender who works there. Multiple times she has been rude and just down right disrespectful and after going there to have lunch with coworkers this week Ive decided to leave this warning review.So I attempted to order my all flats hot wings like I always do every time I go there or any other restaurant and she tells me that its not possible. I then say thats how I order them every time I come and she says Im sure thats not true and walked off……Wait!! So did you just call me a liar in front of my colleagues? Needless to say lunch for me went out the window right then.So I get up and talk to the manager whom Ive talked to once before about her attitude. She at 1st didnt understand my point because this had nothing to do with rules on wings but, really about how a customer is treated so I felt like she only heard me but, she did not handle it as manager shouldve and as I told her I normally dont go there if I see she the one working when Im solo but, when your coworkers want to go then I feel like I should be able to as well. I now know thats possible so Ill let them all know if she there not to even go.So basically if you want to be treated with respect, like a paying customer, or just like a human then I advise you to stay away too if you see her working as well!Now run in and enjoy yourself if you see Melissa, Chloe, or the busboy who greets me with a smile anytime he sees me inside or outside the restaurant. They are the people who make that place and I adore them all.

I had an amazing experience here tonight!!! The people from the hostess to the waitresses were incredibly friendly and kind! They allowed me to sit outside with my dog for which they happily provided me with a dog bowl for water and a bone. The food was DELICIOUS!! Nachos were amazing! Definitely a wonderful experience and will be back soon!

I come down from Boston 4-5 times per year and always make time to stop here. The nachos are some of the best I’ve ever had (no exaggeration).This is a great, unpretentious, come-as-you-are kind of bar.

What’s better after a long run training for the NYC marathon than loaded tater tots and vegetarian nachos? The service here was impeccable, per usual, and the food was tasty (and enough to take away after sharing with a runner friend)!

We were regulars of this place that served good food and had good service. But no longer. They now charge a credit card usage fee. In May 2019 I brought 6 clients here for beers and food and spent hundreds of dollars. I was charged a $8 credit card usage fee. When I inquired about it I was curtly told that “It’s the law”. I countered it’s “the cost of doing business”. But was dismissed. When I said “I won’t be back” they didn’t care. So for a few dollars I was sent packing. Rude. Don’t bother. Go someplace that appreciates your business.

Lovely and refreshing to sit outside, watch people go by, and dine al fresco. Although it was busy, our drinks and dinner came out quickly. They have an extensive beer menu, even had a beer from my home state of Utah! Food was good and not terribly overpriced (for Manhattan). Nice pub, one which I shall visit again.

Resembles one of scores of places like it in New York neighborhoods. This is a good one. Tasty sandwiches. Drinks. Thats it. Thank goodness for long leases, which is the only explanation for why these types of places havent all been driven out of business by high rent.

This ale house offers neat selection of draft beers from all over the country. They have two areas. Once you get in there is sports bar like vibe going on, while in the back there is more quite area with tables. Theres also a patio for nice days or evenings. Since its an ale house, you really want to try the beers here. If youre into IPAs, try Juniper IPA. Food is absolutely good as well and is accompanying those beers very very well. Absolutely no remarks there. Menu is bar food oriented. There is also a great selection of other drinks as well with top shelf quality liquor. Staff is friendly and attentive which is always a plus.
