Bedford Falls NYC

Cozy and fun . The atmosphere was great enough. The bartender and the waitress was clearly overwhelmed with the size of the crowd in the afternoon, but was both friendly . Convenient located with little back yard and different rooms….

Busy Thursday night after work crowd keeps the small bar in front lively. Excellent prices at happy hour on well drinks and drafts; even though I would die of malaria if i was relying on the quinine in the tonic water. Good prices on apps at the bar. The is a dining room in back and a beer garden even further back.

Pretty standard hole in the wall dive bar. The layout is kinda broken up with a few small rooms so this isn’t the best place for large groups. They do have a good sized patio in the back with some tables. They call it a beer garden but it’s really just a patio. The beer selection is mediocre but the burgers are actually excellent

Nice little bar right by Hunter College if you’re having a stressed week with finals. Beer was good and the tater tots were also good. The crow is mostly men I didn’t really see a lot of women there. Overall pretty cool place

Had the short rib grilled cheese. Absolute banger. Beers poured well and plenty of places to sit. Great hangout with a decent group of people!

The staff are awesome, and the food is better than it has any right to be. Huge outdoor patio, and cavernous space on the inside.Also a great spot of private events.Overall, a great neighborhood dive, and one-of-a-kind in a Lenox Hill that is becoming more like midtown with each passing day.Thanks Liam and staff for always making it a special experience!

Very solid choice for weeknight drinks with lots of seating on the sidewalk in front, and the backyard too! Friendly service, and almost dive bar vibes... as much as you can be a dive on the upper east side 😝

Good spot for drinks. They also have outdoor tables 👍🏻

Bedford Falls is such a cool bar and Ive never been disappointed. The staff are always friendly and the food is excellent for a smaller bar / pub. The atmosphere for NY sports is second to none. Ive been going to Bedford Falls for the NY Jets games but for any of the NY teams, you are sure to have a good time. Burger and tots and a beer is the way to go. See you all soon!

Had a great time here for brunch! Ordered the eggs benedict, it was amazing, and the mimosas were delicious, and the beer garden is beautiful. A great way to start your sunday if you’re looking for something quieter and more intimate. Our server Jade was fantastic, and so attentive. Great atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

Great neighborhood bar.

Definitely don’t go here for a sit down dinner. The bar was hopping and looked fun but the table service was awful. I ordered off the weekly specials menu (fish and chips) the fish was definitely frozen from a box, the fries were delicious, the “salad” was just a handful of greens thrown on the plate, no dressing and the waiter never came back so never got dressing. Table was sticky. My husband ordered a coke and got a diet coke so went to the bar to switch that. Had to go find someone for a check. It’s was cheap so at least I didn’t pay a lot for this horrible experience. Should have gone with my guys and walked out before ordering.

Old school NYC. Classic watering hole. Highly recommended. Been going there for years.

For a bar, this food is decent but you have to be in the mood for bar food... quesadillas, fries, tacos, etc. Same with Atmosphere... its a bar but there are fifteenth types of seating outdoor/indoor, regular chairs, booths. Nice place to hang after work.

Their dry rub wings are phenomenal. The food is always hot. Im not a beer drinker but their Pinot Gris is good, along with their cocktails.The happy hour is not the best but its better than nothing. Its from 4-7 they take $2 off every beer and $1 off for wine; there is no specials for cocktails.I love the atmosphere though. It has like a rustic vibe that is cool for just laying low and relaxing.

I love this Bar, it has such a nice ambiance!

Did not eat, music kept me for one more drink.

An oasis if you are a sports fan or simple visitor looking for a welcoming experience.

The atmosphere was good enough. The bartender was clearly overwhelmed with the size of the crowd in the afternoon, but he was friendly so I cut him slack. Overall, not a bad time and conveniently located if you work within the area.

Classic pub with for the Upper East Side very reasonable prices. Nice, albeit small selection of beers. Regular pub food. Friendly service. A gem in this neighborhood that is surprisingly underutilized given its vicinity to to 20K students from Hunter College.Not sure whether I should advertise that fact because I dont want to see it swamped by rowdy students; but somehow it has escaped their attention in spite of its long presence in the neighborhood.

Food was well prepared and portion sizes were fair. I felt that the spinach artichoke dip could use more salt. At the same time the chicken fingers seemed too salty. But the atmosphere in the Beer garden in the back was nice and I would recommend it.

Great spot for a working lunch! Bar up front and a good amount of seating in the back! Also an outdoor patio! Service was fast, food was delicious (get the Bedford burger and opt for the tots!). The cocktail menu is also creative, and my frose is shown- LOVED IT!

Great bar with friendly staff, fair prices, decent food, and quality interior. Nice secluded backyard area as well. Plenty of TVs, and a variety of national and international sports shown. Its a real regulars bar where staff often knows the customers because they live or work and go there with regularity. The smothered tater tots are delicious. Decent bathrooms, but theyre each a single mens and womens room, but the mens room has a toilet and urinal right next to each other...only for close friends or maybe water saving?

Great bar with some food and a decent selection of booze has a great setup with 3 different rooms you can hang out in not including the 2 outdoor spots in back and in front of bar. One of the rooms includes 2 arcade games!(only takes cash)

Best dive sports bar in the area. Food is really good too. Tater tots!

Really great service and always reliable because Hernan is the BEST! Awesome wings in upper east side. Great music as well with a juke box and everything including the outdoor beer garden. Hot dogs serve late night as well. Open till 4am everyday.

This is a great local pub for either after work happy hour, or late night shenanigans. The kitchen is open until 11:00 Wednesday through Saturday and the food is great. Always a good crowd.

The environment and the service was nice. The food not much. We order a big plate to share, it had chicken wings and shrimps and some other things. But honestly they were OK. I didnt really like the wings. They were too spicy and with not flavour at all.

Used to love this spot when it was Phoenix pub. Bartender was extremely slow with taking orders and quite rude Friday night to paying patrons. Seemed wasted.

Great service! Everything was quick and efficient. Fun scene for sports and drinks. Eclectic crowd, place for everyone. Food was on par with basic bar food. Wings and brussel sprouts were delicious, but my chicken quesadilla didnt have any flavor, drown in hot sauce it was edible. Ill definitely come back. Great find.

Great NYC Bar! Manager Liam is so cool bartender amazing. Great nyc traditional bar. You should stop by!

Small, cozy and fun. Super friendly staff. Eclectic, simple but not overly so menu, with a touch of panache. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! (FOOD ROCKS!)

I remember going here when it was the Phoenix pub while going to Hunter. We saw Mike Sheehan from Fox 5 sitting at the bar one day, he was a cool guy. Great memories

Great place. Thought it was like a boujee restaurant from the outside but inside it’s so chill and casual! Loved it! Although, she forgot to come the table a few times, the waitress was really nice! Food and drinks were awesome and prices are fair for a place in the city. Open for indoor dining btw!

Great local bar friendly great staff. Great bar. Great food. Bar manager Liam was great. Thank you and your staff for your hospitality .

A hidden gem. Multiple TVs in the bar area, backroom with extra large tables and a beer garden to boot! Great for a pint and very well made bar food. The wings are great. There is always a deal for your budget.

Food was pedestrian. Service was spotty. Cheap fare and an example of getting what you paid for. Probably a good place for a large group (there were a few the night I was there) because you can get rowdy and rambunctious, but not so great for a quiet, and good food, dinner.

Went here a few weekends ago for an early weekend lunch and walked right in. You can sit at the bar or head in back for a sit down area, the staff were really nice and friendly, food was made quick and tasted great! Would definitely recommend for a quick and easy lunch spot!

We were a large group I believe with a reservation. They had a table for us, but couldnt come up with enough chairs. So I didnt actually stay, but the servers seemed to be trying their best!

Had the best bar experience at this plane. Cute and quaint. Kyle is live entertainment

Been here at least once a week for past few months and love this place! Bartenders Sam and Orla are extremely friendly and attentive. Food is delicious and fresh.

A wonderful neighborhood bar. Also a great place to take a date. One thing, however, is that in the restroom the handles are switched. So beware....the hot handle is actually cold and vice versa.

Used to be a regular bar of mine when I lived nearby. Like ro stop by every now and then to see old friends. Great service by Kyle and fun crowd to watch the game with

Great neighborhood bar. Fun people, great service, and cocktails. What more do you need?

Love this place! Felt like home. Great place to watch a game. Food was great too! Good Time!

I love the community feel of this bar. The tap list is quality, the regulars and staff are friendly, and the atmosphere is perfect to unwind. Plus they have smores- yumm!!

There is a smoking area in the patio. This makes it the best bar in NYC. They will have my business forever.Edit: I quit smoking but I bet this place is still great.

Small spot but good for a drink if youre headed to an event in Central Park (like Summer Stage). They have a small outdoor seating area in the back.

Nice place, good service. Friendly bartender. Would not accept my debit card because it did not have a chip. I have used this card all over the city! Will not be back.

Great spot, you will enjoy It’s a Wonderful Life all over again!

Lively neighborhood spot with good food and fast drinks. Its where the locals go.

Great vibes and a really nice garden area in the back to sit outside and feel a little removed from the city chaos

Good vibes after a long walk at Central Park.

Kitchens close at 1:00 am when it says they close at 4:00am on google?? Don’t disinform your customers on your deceiving page then be rude over the phone.

More than one stout so automatic *****Friendly staff and decent food a handy bonusTraditional sports bar fare if youre looking for bar food and to keep tabs on the score of whatever it is youre into :)

Great pub in UES. They have a good selection of local and regional beers. They have a nice beer garden in the back that is great when weather permits.

Unpretentious watering hole on the upper east side. Drinks can get pricey bit its Manhattan. Lovin those loaded tots after a bourbon or two.

Great service, good appetizers but terrible food, everything smell and taste like grease and the Sheappards pie are too watery needs to hire a new chef who knows how to cook..lol

Wonderful friendly awesome people! Great food! Truly amazing bar!

Good local dive, average food and service.

Great spot to hang!!!

The bartender was super cool 😎 👌, I forgot his name but he is a great singer and musician ❤

Local drinking spot. Gets crowded at tunes and has a backroom area. Not too great of a discount for happy hour.

Ask for Hernan, that man right there can make you a solid freaking drink! Plus the atmosphere is to die for.

Nice menu , waitresses have good knowledge of beverages. Relaxed atmosphere, children are welcome.

Great lunch spot!!!

Good selection of drinks and bar food

Fun for locals, sports enthusiast, FDNY, Hunter students/staff/faculty alike. Prices reflect the neighborhood. Better than avg selection of bar food

Cool atmosphere and drinks, kind of pricey. The service is fantastic though.

Everything as described and more! Great atmosphere, food, and service and a perfect place for Sunday Funday!

Nice neighborhood bar, good for groups, several areas with ample space.

Bartender need some training in basic customer service recommended.

Great bar. Awesome food. Great local pub with lots of space

It was fun good beer and I was with a handsome gentleman...had a blast

Local dive bar, which surprisingly has a ton if seating throughout the back including a patio out back. Plenty of TVs to watch games, and a kitchen with a full menu which Ill have to come back and try. We like the front area for people watching along with attentive bartenders. The weekend crowd is a fun and friendly group, with some good jukebox use. Nice place to chill out and relax, enjoy the happy hour here!

Order the Shepherd pie, Mac and cheese and some drinks. Came out very good.

A solid local watering hole with a really friendly staff and solid well prepared bar fare.

Nice placeBartender was amazing 😁 KajlBut Bleu hair Natassssa was pleasure😁

We had pur holiday party there and it was great from the food to the service to the atmosphere.

Decent bar with nice heated outdoor area

Jade was amazing thank you!!

Solid pub. Happy hour and beef stew is perfect for cold weather.

It was a really nice place and the service was really entertaining

Great place to have a beer after work!

Place was cozy and had decent cocktails for happy hour.

Coworkers and I come here all the time! Burgers and loaded tots are amazing!!

Fantastic happy hour. Attentive staff.

Nice spot to grab some drinks, get some bar food, and just relax after a long work day.

Great bar with delicious food and a cool vibe. Liam, the owner, is fantastic and makes you feel right at home. I sat at the bar watching the game (TVs everywhere), and had a fun time hanging with the locals. I would absolutely be a regular if I lived NY. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return on my next trip to NY!

Great pub atmosphere, great service, and fantastic food,

I like it. Was first time there when McGregor was fighting with Khabib .

Great bar service. Thanks for the excellent Merlot recommendation Kelly.

I was there just before cinema, perfect for little beer or two before movie.

Great neighborhood bar with good food. Had the wings

Great music good food and nice staff

Modest sports bar, lots of space in the back. Not a good craft beer selection

Jade was an amazing server! Provided my group of twelve excellent customer service! Will return again on her shift jaja.

Awesome hole-in-the-wall excellent service. Very homey feeling mom and pop bar

Nice Irish pub with a lot of space. You have the front section with the nearly circular bar and two additional back rooms and an outdoor space in the back. Staff was very friendly and easy to talk to. Got the duck club with the fries which was delicious! Would recommend and go back!

Great place to hang out and great staff. Food is a plus too.

Great food, drinks, service. Perfect local spot.

I had a beer. An ipa. Staff good.

Great place for a pint. Innit

I have always love their wings! They are still very good!👍🏾

Amazing food and extremely friendly staff

In the swamp now known as the upper east side, Bedford Falls is like a dry patch of grass. One with a towel, to wipe all that swamp juice off, maybe even a shower. Is this metaphor working? Anyway, Bedford Falls has spectacular prices and great pub food. The Salmon is a particular value if you’re in for dinner. A dive bar that wasn’t too crowded, wasn’t too clean, wasn’t too dirty, wasn’t too mean. I liked it, is what I’m trying to say.

Great place. Manager Liam is the best

Super bar and Nice foot

Being Italian I can say that the food is very good, cozy place

Nice place near Hunter!

Randy introduced me and this place gets lively, for what looks like a small space its actually quite large with even a outdoor back area, looking for a quick drink(s) definitely a fun spot to stop by

We were a group of for and were expecting four more. We were seated inside in the back area. Average looking space, thou the tables are where on the smaller side.We notice the was an open outdoor area as asked to sit there.The tables were a bit bigger and being outdoors was nice. The drinks were very reasonable. The nachos and chicken wings were greatOur waiter was attemdive.

Good happy hour with good bar food.

Surprisingly good bread on the sandwiches. Decent nightly specials.

Easy dive bar. Super friendly staff.

My home away from home.Because my apartment is 2 blocks away.And because I used to work nearby back when it was called Phoenix Park.Good food, great service, a few specialty cocktails (try the spiced Apple Cider when the weather calls for it!) nice people, Kyle has a great playlist when the jukebox inevitably bugs outMets suck tho 😉

Outdoor seating available on the street and in the back beer garden. All staff are masked (bravo). Limited menu (hence the 4 stars) but excellent snack choices and great prices. 3pm open, 4pm for food. Brian as bartender/waiter is a gem.

They make you feel like part of a special club. Great bartenders, great service, great prices. A place to go no matter what time of day or not on the UES. Shoutout to Kyle/Danny/Jonathan!

Perfect place to hang out late night, quiet, quick service, reasonable prices.Update: still good 👍

Small bar area. Cant rate them based on food or dining. They part was closed when I went

Ive been going to Bedford Falls for about 7 years now (it used to be called something different) and I love this place so much. The staff are incredible and treat me and my husband like family. We love bringing friends here because there is always a good vibe, no matter what day of the week it is, or whether its crowded or not.The food is delicious too, we love the wings for Sunday football and the loaded tots are a great accompaniment. Everything else we have tried has been great as well.They have a few different rooms which is cool. The back area has some buck hunter games if youre into that. Then theres another lounge area in a different room in the back thats great for privacy or watching a game etc. They also have an awesome outdoor space in the back with several tables (this is not something you find often, and especially not on the upper east side.)Love me some Bedford Falls!!!

Nice casual bar Tuesday away in the hunter college neighborhood

Bartender begs for tips. Other than that atmosphere was alright.

The food is great however I can not remember having such bad service A great example of the service is that we ordered a bottle of wine before our entrees. It never arrived we waited a bit to eat our entrees. After 15 minutes more waiting we ate and never were checked on. We canceled the bottle paid and left. This was disappointing as the food was so good. Next time we will probably get the food to go.

Stopped by on Tuesday for drinks with friends. We sat at the bar and had a blast. The staff was friendly and their Christmas decorations were very prettym

Great bartender, has buck hunter and open late.

Decided to check out this spot with my coworkers we all decided to try some of their burgers. I ordered a turkey burger and my colleagues ordered a salmon and beef burger. Although the food tasted good in the moment we all ended up with food poising the next day. It is a small place the service was very slow and maybe not the cleanliest.

The beer garden was really cool and the service was friendly and responsive. The drinks were great!

Lunch specials are almost always really good

Good food, a small outdoor seated area with some heat lamps, attentive and friendly staff

Good fun bar. Missed going to watch Its A Wonderful Life there during the Christmas holiday. Cant think of a better place to watch than in Bedford Falls.

Good food and drinks and lots of space to spread out. Including a beer garden in the back of the bar, and some tabels set out front.

Great selection of beer and an outdoor patio

Good place for happy hour and sports watching

Have one type of non alcoholic beer St. Pauli N/A

Quick service. Food was alright, but not extraordinary. Avocado that came with the food was rotting though. Liked the atmosphere though. Drinks were good.

Great place for a drink close to Hunter College.

Good bar with friendly staff. Fine collection of beers, the staff are super friendly, and the backyard is super chill.

Great chicken quesadilla and fresh guacamole. Friendly staff. Local gem!

Horrible place, bartender spent all her time talking with the regulars, $6.50 for a Bud Light bottle, after the 3rd. one you think they would buy you one back, NOPE!!!!!!!!! Recommend you don’t go!!!!!!!!!!!

Decent hole-in-the-wall pub with unassuming drinks and grub. Nice relaxed atmosphere to grab a few drinks to catch up.

This is amazing spot omg 🙆‍♂️ nothing but love very nice cool and nice bar Bryan is the man he is a people person and makes sure every body is good black or white i was so intimidated. Because im black and put the cushion that made my night the best bar tender ever so cool and real

Good atmosphere and friendly staff!

Beer selection was acceptable, and the food was straightforward and perfectly cooked.Service was fair on a late Sunday.

Great service. Great food.

Solid food and drinks good space in the back

Great place for lunch and drink after work.

Great place! Great service and drinks. Checkout the backyard.

Best bar in NYC!

Standard pub fare, some unusual appetizers, like very good chicken pot stickers (order them steamed).

A really big place. You head to the back and it opens up quite nicely. Ordered the Mac and cheese and sadly it tasted burnt and tasted like the bottom of the pan. I would give it a second chance.

We had a great time there everybody was very nice and took very good care of the couple from Maine

Drinks were fine. Ordered Mac & Cheese bacon and it was okay. Too much cheese to finish it. Next time stick to just fries.

Cant comment on the food, although it smelled good. Lots of seating in a variety of spaces (bar, dining room, rear garden). But the cocktails were meh

Really nice happy hour specials, decent staff and crowd. A bit old around the edges, and the draft list is too basic for my tastes, but overall a decent watering hole.

Super cozy, super accommodating as a sports bar, and they give you a lot of food for the price point that they are

First time and it wont be my last. A fun bar and people are friendly.

Killer owners, solid food, great vibe. Definitely my favorite UES spot to grab drinks and conversation.

Always good for the local Irish bar with outside tables, big dining room, bar area, draft beers and open late for young college crowds and trendy set

Great spot with friendly people and good food!

Quick and easy place to find something to eat. Fresh and fast.

Very good service and food

A great Irish bar. Good service, your usual bar menu.

Good (only?) dive bar in this neighborhood. Great for after work drinks.

Great pub

Very friendly and attentive staff. Pork chop and burgers were excellent.

Great specials and amazing food. Mac and cheese was exceptional.

Excellent food, drinks and service

It was cool except for the fact the waitress tried to charge us extra.

Great drinks but food is lacking taste.

Very nice service. The only bar in the neighborhood but very affordable

Great beer selection, including Bengali, higher octane

Nice place to grab a quiet lunch during the work week, good food and good service, nice spot if you’re a Mets fan!

Great pub. Local crowd

Low key, no frills. Food and drinks exceeded expectations.

There are actual rats walking around the back and they don’t do anything to fix it

Bad food and rude staff

Great low-key, local spot for a beer and nachos!!

They have good food and beer... Do you need much else?

Great burgers. Great price.

Nice chill place to drink during the week.

Slow service, tepid beer and disinterested wait-staff. Not a fan.

Delicious food and very friendly service!

Popular destination for community sports teams and meetups in the city

What you’d expect a Bronx bar to look like

Beer selection is mediocre. Nice outdoor space in the back.

Sensational.

Good local bar and destination.

Great place to have adult beverages

Bedford Falls is a dream and I never want to wake!

Best bar in the area from when New York was still NY.

Great food and atmostphere

Its great bar

Rude staff and horrible food...

To tight, not enough space... Didnt get a chance to enjoy food👍

Awesome spot great food

Such a hard area to find a bar!

You needed a dive bar? You got yourself a dive bar!

Dump but decent food
