Pete's Tavern

I have to admit of all the times I've been to New York. I finally realized that if you want good food and a good place to eat, you got to get away from times square. Wife and I went up for the weekend with our son to have a nice little Christmas getaway and shop and eat. The restaurant we wanted to eat at was completely booked so we walked on over to Pete's. They were absolutely packed, thought we wouldn't be able to get in but when we spoke to the host, they looked at their computer. Said follow me, took us upstairs to a very quiet. Very nice. Almost private room that had a couple other people eating dinner. The atmosphere was awesome, obviously being a week before Christmas, the place was decked out with all kinds of lights and ornaments and decorations and just really, really in the spirit of the holidays. I had the Pete's burger which was a very tasty burger. And the fried mozzarella was out of this world. Great people, very nice, and good food.

Came to enjoy a couple drinks and the atmosphere. They have great decorations for the holidays and it really put me in the xmas spirit. We came on thanksgiving eve and it was slightly crowded but not difficult to get a drink. I definitely prefer it over the other holiday themed bars. It was a fun time and will definitely be returning!

My husband and I dined in Pete’s Tavern last night. This is our favorite restaurant to go during the holiday season and it’s become a yearly tradition for us. We both ordered the Steak Frites and it was outstanding! The beautiful Christmas decorations really put you in the holiday spirit. Petes Tavern is the best!

I went for a birthday dinner and have to say it was a great experience. At first glance, the place does look like a bar but once you emerge through that into the back there’s a really nice dining area. My friend told me they are known for their cheeseburger so I ordered that and it was delicious. 10/10 recommend the cheeseburger I haven’t had one that good in years. Other than that service was pretty great and the guy was nice and accommodating for our large group. It was a birthday and they did make us pay for the cake and ice cream, which unfortunately seems to be a thing now at restaurants. Not a fan. Other than that, the food was delicious and if you’re going for drinks after it’s a great place to eat and then immediately head to bar. Great ambiance as well.

You can feel the fantastic energy from the second that you open the door and walk into this historic establishment. My wife and I loved this place! Great staff.....especially our waitress Larissa! She was absolutely amazing! Super personable and helpful. A ROCK STAR! It was obvious that she loved what she does and is proud to work at this great restaurant! We enjoyed the energy and crowd noise around the bar; but appreciated the fact that the dining area was quiet enough to have a reasonable conversation without shouting over the noise. You can feel the history of this place....lots of pictures and really cool decor. The cocktails were delicious and so was the burger, salad and dessert that we ordered. Such a perfect experience. We are definitely coming back and definitely asking for Larissa!
