Old Mates Pub

It’s great to see this space open after sitting vacant for what feels like over a decade. Very friendly service. Outdoor space indoor and an upstairs. I didn’t checkout upstairs but the first floor is huge and has lots of light on a nice spring day. The beers were some of the coldest on draft I have ever had which was great and gives me another reason to come back on hot days. The food was delicious. I only had the chicken Parma and it was very good. It tasted a little salty compared to what you get in Italian restaurants but I like salty foods so to me this was great. The Aussie burger looked amazing. Not going to lie the prices were a little high but you won’t be disappointed.

Started with the seafood linguine, which was so fresh I think one of the shrimp made eye contact. This was my boyfriends entree and I almost ate it all. The heirloom tomato salad with basil oil and harissa was a vibrant, juicy love letter to summer. And the steak tartare? Let’s just say if it proposed, I’d say yes. Love how it had little fried capers. He ordered this after I ate his pasta. Now, the Bloody Marys, what a star. Made with beet vodka which was so nice you felt like you were almost drinking a healthy drink, but no it's still vodka. They were delightfully thin (I hate thick bloody marys that are soups). I put down a couple. 10/10 would return and aggressively recommend to everyone I know. Old Mate’s is officially the best new Aussie restaurant in NYC

Awesome pub at the Seaport! Really chill vibe, multiple floors, and great outdoor seating. You MUST get the cheeseburger 🍔- might be one of the best I’ve had in NYC. Ask if they have the Milo sundae and treat yourself.

Food: the burger is definitely a top 5 New York burger. Worth a visit for sure. I asked for a side of mustard and it was awful. Service is immaculate. The staff was so incredibly sweet and the vibes were awesome. Atmosphere: My only beef with this place is that it's not a great place to actually watch sports. The ceilings are too low and as a result so are the TVs, which means if you're not directly in front of the TV, you can't see the screen.

Holy cow what a place ! Brand new Aussie owned pub near the seaport area. This place is massive. There’s a bar on multiple floors and good vibes all around. There’s a dj in the basement on Thursday nights which turned into an impromptu dance party. Def wanna return to try more of their food menu !

What's not to love about an Aussie pub! This is a true ny-take on an Aussie classic which is perfect if you're feeling like a taste of down under. Memorabilia on the walls will remind you of Aussie classics from movies TV and books or media. The TVs are always playing the footy. And you're guaranteed to hear an Aussie accent. The menu features some great classics. Including Bourke St bakery pies and sausage rolls. They also have an Aussie burger with "the lot" - i.e . Beetroot, pineapple and a fried egg. Chicken schnitzel and Parma, bangers and mash, and hot chips with chicken salt and wedges with sour cream and chilli. It's often packed so be prepared to wait in line.

Love this place! Really felt like I was back home at a pub in Aus. Great atmosphere, amazing food and incredible service. Our server Josie was top notch! Will definitely be back

Came here during my first-ever solo trip to New York City to see “Hugh Jackman: Live From New York With Love.” 🎉 Bonus: I didn’t know Hugh Jackman was part owner of this pub! I only came knowing he had recently visited, so I was extra excited to add this stop to my (super short!) 3-day NYC adventure. My show was Friday, June 20th at 8pm. I came for an early lunch, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier — I even got to sit where Hugh had last dined! 😍💕 Food-wise: I ordered the chicken schnitzel, which came with mashed potatoes, gravy, and salad. It was absolutely delicious — cooked perfectly — and paired beautifully with a pint of Old Mate’s lager. My visit to New York was amazing overall. I didn’t get the chance to meet Hugh (I was literally inches away before he headed in for the Saturday matinee show 😭), but I was able to leave some handmade engraved gifts for him — and they actually made it backstage. (Hugh… if you ever happen to read this review… Old Mates and your show were the highlight of my trip!) If I ever get the chance to come back to NYC, I’ll 100% be coming back to Old Mate’s. Everything was warm, welcoming, and just plain awesome. – Christine from Calgary, AB 💋❤️

Ladies, sons of ladies and everyone in between. Let me start this off by saying I'm my soul, and by my roommates permission I have been declared an honorary Aussie. If you disagree I mean no disrespect, I didn't choose this life it chose me. Old mates pub is exactly that. A family I didn't know I needed to be part of, a community of stunning humans and some FIRE FOOD! We sat upstairs where the vibes were chill but made our way down to the bar to be in the hustle and bustle of a TwoUp Tournament I chose the perfect day the Anzac Game day. Honoring all those who have served in the Australian and New Zealand army corps *slay*. I had a Rekotderlig to start my meal and finished it with Brussel Sprouts that GENUINELY MELTED IN MY MOUTH. I wasn't mad. But was sooooo disappointed when I looked down at my plate and my meal... was finished. I vacuumed that sucker down and I have no regrets. I think it's safe to say that this is going to be my local pub... and I live in Jersey so you know I mean it

I loved this place! It's way bigger than I expected--more than one floor and full of surprises. I didn't know what to expect from an "Australian pub," but I had a ton of fun. The oysters and burgers were both really unique and super tasty. Great vibes, good drinks, and a fun crowd. The place was absolutely packed when I went (way more than I expected), but somehow it was still easy to grab a table. Service was a bit confusing, but I went during their first week open, so I totally get they were still ironing things out. The staff was friendly, and the overall atmosphere made up for any hiccups. Can't wait for it to warm up so I can hang out on the outdoor seating!

Absolutely insane. The owner is an insecure manic with an ego problem. I was in the club. Having an OK time. Spent $300 on a few drinks and a burger, and then when I went down to their dance floor this ridiculous jerk runs out of the back and starts harassing me because I'm close to a TV that they had on the wall. He kicked me out of the club straight away "time to leave. Time to leave. You're slapping my TV time to leave." Completely Ludacris. There is absolutely no world in which I'm abusing this man's electronics. I tried to talk to him about it. I'm a technician and I work with electronics for a living. His ego issue completely ruined my night. They kicked me out of the club. After spending over $300 personally (and I was with a large group) They ruined my evening. He's an irrational behavior was completely inappropriate and embarrassing for both me and himself.

Went for the Knicks game last weekend and had a great time! Food was pretty good, it's def bar food but it was really good! Ambiance was 10/10 for what we wanted, and service / staff was great. It does get pretty backed for games, which could be great or not depending on what you're looking for!

The space just like when it was Trading Post is three floors. They put a bar on the second floor, which was a great idea so you have used through the window windows of the South Seaport. I wasn't overly crazy about the menu, but it was limited the bigger menu wasn't available when I was there so maybe it has a more interesting selection. I just had the prawns which were very good and fresh. Brock Quinn the entire staff was very friendly, which gave you a more of a local flavor which is what the south seaport area in general gives you I'll definitely be back.

An Aussie pub brought to life in the City - the vibes are fantastic, the drinks/beer menu/food are all great. The servers and bartenders are friendly and accommodating. It's worth a trek to check it out. Been once and will hopefully be back many times in the future.

It is almost impossible to find a cold beer with good head in NYC. Old Mates finally fills the void. We went as a group of four on a Friday night and it was pumping. We managed to jump on to a high top with two other customers. Although super busy the food came our quick. New York prices but worth it if you like good beer and Parmis

The music is terrible here and so is the staff. If you want bartenders to disrespect you come here

Best Pub in New York. The service is top tier, will be back without a doubt. Shoutout Clippers legend Patty Mills who's part owner!

No Sunday roast green menu only I was duped I want the place to do well ............. Menu was suspect didn't even have fries
