The front patio is packed in warm weather, with uptown folk and friends crowding umbrella-ed picnic tables and pounding burgers and beer . Booze here is a little pricey , but there's a good happy hour . Read more

A must visit if you are in the area. My all time favorite turkey burger in all of NYC. It is ~that~ good. DJ Apryl Fresh's set on Saturdays is on point!

amNewYork

Spacious inside and outside, this bar , grill and beer garden is a hot spot for Harlemites and Manhattanites alike. There's live music on Tuesdays and Thursdays and on Saturdays and Sundays at brunch .

Jonah

Amazing place! Live jazz , tv 's all around playing games all day. Perfect for groups. Food could be better but the atmosphere more than makes up for it.

Brigitte Perez

I love eating here. Everything I've ordered has been delicious. Steak sandwich is AMAZING. Garden pasta , chicken skewers , grilled chicken sandwich , ceviche all good. Shock top on tap :)

Giulia Prati

Lively atmosphere for brunch especially if you can snag a seat outside on a sunny day! Live jazz music and free brunch cocktail with your entree. 🥂

Time Out New York

This Harlem spot offers plenty of room: Its 3,000-square-foot patio accommodates hundreds around communal picnic tables . Stop by for happy hour (weekdays 4–7pm) for beer , wine , cocktails or pub grub . Read more

Decent drink selection. You won't go wrong with the catfish nuggets or the lamb burger ! Not to mention that is a great sports bar . My favorite place to be during football season.

Quan Nguyen

It can get loud on football Sunday only because of the blaring speakers. A great place to see support for a variety of teams because it's the only place in the area catered to sports viewing .

Serious Eats

Is this a burger worth making a special trip for? Not on its own. But add a decent beer selection , reasonable prices and a different scene to the mix, and you've got something pretty special.

Jo' Wanico (Nikolas)

Mostly everything on the menu is great. There's a bit of everything from vegetarian , seafood , meats for everyone

loran jonak

Good food and a great beer list , bottles and on tap . They have a large covered patio in front to allow eating outside while staying dry or no sunburned.

Nia

Love the spicy lamb burger medium was well done enough for me.Any more well done would have been too dry.I choose the sweet potato fries every time.This burger is great piping hot with juices running!

Carmen Witherspoon

good atmosphere to meet friends, people watch & watch games! service has gotten better, food not awesome (friend got food poisoning a few weeks ago). i tend to find myself here at least once a week.

A.

I haven't had anything here I haven't loved yet. However, the music and drinks are perfect for a night out and the sliders are everything.

Harlem Ambassador

Seafood gumbo and biscuits may adhere to locals , yet neither can compete with the beer selection and Columbia collegiate eye candy that may be the real draw here. Not a place for the shy and humble.

Sara 🌈⚔🍾

So much improvement since they first opened. Great brunch and burgers . Tons of outdoor seating and lots of sports on the TVs . Drinks are strong!

Ashley

The DJ was great! They had warm cider which was clutch for the cold night that I was there.

Karlita C

Second time I've been here and it was Wednesday night. The food is really underrated, everything is delicious. Although the spin dip and steak flatbread is amazing !!

The Commander

This place is awesome! Great music (by pandora), great drinks (ciroq summer celebration is amazing!) But the kitchen is a bit slow! Sit back and enjoy the eye candy tho, its worth the wait!

Justin Barton

"Lobstah" Tuesdays are great! 1.25 lb Lobster for around $18 includes corn and loaded baked potato . Patio area large and is really nice during the summer time. Mixed crowd, white people friendly :)

Gregory Pablo

Great food and quick friendly service . The pulled pork sandwich was yummy! The frozen mojito was also good, but could have been stronger. Great addition to the blvd.

Thrillist

Hit up this spankin' fresh uptown beer garden for burgers topped with smoked Gouda , pulled pork , bacon , and crispy onions , plates of cedar-grilled salmon , a craft beer-focused booze program. Read more

T Marie

A nice spot to catch a game or grab some drinks with friends. The food is good too

@JaumePrimero

This place is great 7 days a week. They've got something going on every day, great food, service, flat screens and beers on tap . Love the diverse crowd here too!

Lillian Rodriguez

Brunch is great! Lamb Burger with goat cheese and pesto is amazing.

Camilla

Strawberry daiquiris ? Yes pleeease! Get 'em love 'em and try the sliders as well ;)

JoNeZEE

If ur around early try the skirt steak n eggs ...delicious, and if ur there in the evening go for the Fredericks steak frites or the cedar planked salmon ....can't go wrong....mmmmmm

Mitch Gross

Great food, drinks, ambiance/music... And the staff is super helpful and friendly . Love the outdoor seating on a nice day too.

Stay Uptown

Stop in to catch the latest game and stay for the upscale grub and energetic vibe. You may not know anything about the given sport on one of the many flat screens but you will leave a fan of the crowd

Lilit Kalachyan

Great pedple. Amazing food! Nice vibe on game nights and music nights. Try the gumbo !

Luke Kingma

Awesome new spot in Harlem just down the street from Bier International. Grab a seat in the big outdoor courtyard and watch the world go by.

__TR3V

Great spot for brunch . Corn flake crusted French toast is amazing. (+ they do have TURKEY bacon )

Peter ☎💺📈

I love this place. Eat, drink and be merry. Excellent food and drink. Try one of their sandwiches .

Devonta

One Item: Short Rib & Mozzarella SLIDERS are to die for. So delicious.

Afi Yellow-Duke

Great burgers and beer . Sometimes, there's also awesome live music : I saw a killer jazz band there

Nicholas S

Awesome food. Amazing atmosphere and decent service. Anything on the menu is amazing. Try their HT burger and fries !

Deep Gujral

Brunch special here is a fantastic deal. I highly recommend the steak and eggs with extra bacon on the side

jasmine jefferson

Brunch was amazing ! Biscuits & Eggs with calamari as a starter and a mimosa 👌🏾

JP

Don't love the service but the restaurant and the food were delicious. Burger and fries , can't go wrong

Jon

Solid go to spot for neighborhood eats. Great spot for watching sports .

James S

When it's good, it's a great normal spot in Harlem. When it's bad it takes me a loooong time to return. Service is inconsistent. Food is a safe bet. Drinks are good but also inconsistently made.

Chris Ziemba

Stop by on Saturdays between 12-4 and you get to eat AND listen to live music provided by a trio of jazz musicians from the Juilliard School!

Miraculous Assembly

I have to say that the Banana Colada is very,very good. #firsttime

L. T.

Solid neighborhood option for any meal. I've been here several times. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the Bloody Mary .

Kaitlin H

They have one of the tastiest lamb burgers I have sampled! And delicious affordable weekend brunch .

Matt Seeman

Great wings . Turkey burgers has some room for improvement. Place is packed every night. Service was great, despite the other reviews I've read.

Chris Evans

Awesome brunch and pretty solid bites. Only thing is the service can be really slow, so don't come if you are in a rush.

Daniel Shaw

Great atmosphere and good drinks and food. One of the best joints in the neighborhood .

Jessie Ji
