Scruffy Duffy's Sports Bar

Scruffy Duffy's has the best wings, and bar food in NYC. The food is always prepared fresh, great taste, and quality. Service is always good. The prices of food have increased dramatically. The bar, and restaurant area was dead, most likely due to the Knicks being done for the season. Nevertheless the atmosphere is always excellent, each visit I always meet great people that are either visiting from Europe or a local.w

Packed on a Thursday night I’m guessing was Thursday night football. Good affordable beers + quick service + decent human beings. Can’t complain solid bar

We didn't eat here, Just drinks. Service was excellent. John, the bartender, was pleasant and good at his job. We admired the Santa Claus balloon behind the bar and the cook in the kitchen came out with a "balloon dog" for my friend. It just made her day!!! The assortment of old beer taps as decor is amazing.

Great bar! Good beer prices, food was solid. Atmosphere was great. Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday. Cool, diverse crowd. Bartender was cool and laid back. Will be back when we are back in NYC.

We loved the atmosphere and food and drinks. I ordered burger and my boyfriend got wings, both were delicious

What a cool place !! I went on Wednesday night with some friends for the first time, had a blast... food was epic, wings and pizza ..and the security guards were polite and friendly im definitely coming back !!!

We went there for dinner before a show and the food and service are excellent. We had the nachos and the loaded burger. Both were good size portions and tasted great. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The decor was perfect to feel like a cozy neighborhood bar that you would want to go to and hang out and have a few drinks without any pretentiousness. We will be back!

Hot wings we're decent ones, 16 pieces was A LOT- service was kind and good!

Lively bar with a great atmosphere. The crowd was younger - I felt like the oldest in the room at 30. But, they had a great selection of beers on tap, and we had a great time. They have some dart boards for people to play too!

Excellent bartender! My martini order is so annoyingly specific and the bartender didn't judge me and made it to PERFECTION! Haha! Thank you SO much.

Very fun bar. Stopped in on a Saturday and had a chill time at the bar with a few drinks. Bartender was friendly and quick. Clean bathrooms.

We stumbled across this place. We ordered drinks and a lot of food to share. We ordered the buffalo nachos, mozzarella sticks, and wings. All the food was delicious, but we especially liked the buffalo nachos. So good!!! Give this place a try if you're in the area!

Found on Yelp. Walked a bit in the rain and was rewarded with a seat at the bar, excellent service, good wings & fries and the largest Bavarian pretzel (two of them actually) ever. Place got super busy as it was a Knicks/Celtics night, but still had a TV or two (wasn't three...) tuned to hockey. Bar staff was fantastic; highly recommended if you're in the Hudson Yards / Hell's Kitchen. I'll DEF be back.

Scruffy Duffy's is a hidden gem with a whole lot of personality. Whether you're out with friends, catching the game, or just need a spot that feels like your second living room--with better beer--Scruffy Duffy's hits the mark. The vibe is laid-back and unpretentious, with just enough chaos to keep things interesting. Music's bumping, TVs everywhere, and the staff is fun, fast, and no-nonsense (in the best way). I had the wings (crispy, saucy, and addictive) and split some loaded fries that disappeared way too fast. Drinks are strong and well-priced, and they don't skimp on the pour. It's not fine dining--it's fun dining. It gets busy, especially on game nights, so come early if you want a good seat. But even if it's standing room only, chances are you'll end up making new friends. Loyal local spot with character, comfort, and killer bar food. Will definitely be back!

I wanted to start getting around the City and were best to start? Well a sports bar of course! "Scruffy Duffy''s" has been on my radar for a while now. So after some downtime at work, I walked over. Walking is the best way, driving you risk waiting for parking. The outside of the building has that old history feel and the inside matches that point. Dark wood and low lights with oldies playing in the background. It was a nice touch. The booths are high and the tables are old, but that is the charm with a place like this. One of the two bartenders came and served me and he was nice enough. He took my order and put it in quick. It was slow, so my meal came out quick. The wings looked incredible, that and a great smell of the pizza, I knew I was in trouble...the good kind. The wings were amazing! The perfect texture mixed with great sauce. I only wish the blue cheese was better. The pizza delivered as well. Great flavor, I only wish they used a little more cheese. The last negative was the price. They changed two dollars a wing. That's steep where I'm from. But they tasted so good. I think regardless of the overpriced menu, I would come back. Next I have my sights on a burger. I hope they add cheese, did I ever mention I love cheese!

This is a great spot to grab a cocktail and bar food. They also have an awesome private space for parties. The bartenders are quick and they play good music.

Chill sports bar in Hells Kitchen to enjoy a beer and watch a couple sports games while you can. I came here on a Friday afternoon before dinner while the weather was still nice and warm. Beers are plenty and enough local crafts to keep me satisfied. Not more I can ask for.

This is one of my favorite spots in Hells Kitchen. Everyone on the staff is so fun and my friends and I always have a blast. Game days are the best here!

What a cool bar with fun vibes! We were meeting friends for lunch next door on a Sunday afternoon but had some time to kill and stopped in for a drink. When we found out they were running late, we were getting hungry and ordered some onion rings. I wasn't expecting much from bar food but the onion rings were pretty good and definitely hit the spot. Plus, drink prices are reasonable, and the place feels clean. We actually ended up popping back after lunch for another drink. There was a football game going on, and the staff was playing some kind of contest to engage the crowd. If I knew about this spot back in my youth, I can definitely see it as a bar I would have frequented.

The food is pretty good. My favorite is the chili. Their chili is nicely seasoned but not spicy so it's a nice break from making mine so I don't have to do any of the work. Their chili is my favorite thing on the menu and the homemade potato skins pair quite nicely. The burgers are quite nice but go hungry because they are big.

Stopped in to kill some time before a wedding. Barman was working hard and poured a couple of great, cheap manhattan pints. GRMA!

Scruffy's is a great establishment, its open during great hours semi late, the staff is friendly and the venue is clean.

Wings are great! Good options. We got the hot (Buffalo style; hot ain't too hot, for those who like a little kick), the bbq, and the Thai chili. Beer list is decent, there is variety, which is awesome. Space was laid back and pub-esque. Bartenders also come around for table service and run food, though we were in at 545p when it was empty. Def started filling out as the night went on. Would def come back!

Lots of TVs for sports watching and they seem more than happy to switch to a particular game you request, if it's not already on. Very large draft beer selection, with many local New York breweries (though they seem to all be IPAs). However, a limited food menu that is a bit hit-or-miss. Traditional Wings w/ Garlic Parm Sauce: For all the bragging they do about their house wing sauces, they're just ok. The wings themselves were nice and crispy, almost like Korean Fried Chicken. The garlic parm was quite garlicky and dusted with parmesan cheese. Tasted nice by itself, but got overpowered in the bleu cheese dip. Also, only option is an 8 wing order, which feels kinda skimpy. Buffalo Nachos w/ Medium Sauce: A much heartier option than the wings. Nacho chips with a cheese blend baked on, like regular bar nachos, but that's the only commonality. These had large chunks of shredded chicken tossed in a traditional wings sauce. Plus loads of ranch dressing drizzled on. And some some small celery bits and scallions. Also, bleu cheese dressing on the side if the ranch isn't enough for you. Since I've had tons of Mexican-inspired bar nachos over the years, it was nice to have something more original.

Fun bar with great vibes! Pool table and darts, great burgers and wings, and a good beer selection. Love this place and will keep coming back!

Honestly if you described my experience here on a Sunday night I wouldn't believe you. We must have been there at the same time as the short kingz bar crawl because these little fellas were all over the place. They even had a can of Lysol disinfectant spray they let me borrow. Great spot to watch sports. They had on the ALS games, Sunday night football, and even a soccer match. Good classic sports pub with a fun crown interaction. Buffalo Chicken Sandwich was mid and they ran out of pop. Would probably come again though.

This is a cool chill bar to watch a game and eat wings. The hot ginger wings were very good the hot wings were also good but I definitely recommend the ginger flavored wings. Service was good and bartender was friendly.

AWFUL! security was extremely rude and so was the owner, never come here. they left me in the cold.

Great first time at Scruffy Duffy's. Great service and food. We got the Buffalo chicken nachos and ordered the 16 traditional wings deal for $28. Great wings, very tasty and saucy. We got 8 wings with their hot sauce and 8 with their sweet Thai chili. Both sauces were delicious. We'll definitely be back!

Great place to go with large groups of people or for a nice night out in NYC. I came here with one of my girlfriends. There is outdoor seating. We ordered the boneless chicken wings and onion rings, which were pretty decent for bar food. After eating, we enjoyed a round of darts inside. There is also a pool table inside the bar and great music. They had a selective variety of music, mostly songs that are currently popular in the mainstream regardless of the genre. The only experience I did not like was the service. Our server smelled like alcohol and forgot to serve our water then pretended like we never mentioned we wanted a beverage. Maybe he forgot to tend to us because we were sitting outside and not within the workers' purview. Still not a good excuse for poor service.

Great atmosphere and solid service. Owner is terrific. Perfect place for after work or a game. Highly recommended

Congenial atmosphere. Good food. Attentive and accommodating staff. Been here multiple times. It never misses to please.

Went last night to scruffy , wasn't too impressed , we ordered a chicken sandwich with fries , not a lot of chicken on the bun, we also ordered two pizzas which wasn't pizza but was made with a burrito wrap not pizza dough , and very small for the price we also ordered two orders of chicken boneless wasn't great either , good for drinks mainly but not the food

Grainne & Dan are the best bartenders in Manhattan! Incredible service & food recs. The perfect bar for wings & vibes I love it here !!

Scruffy Duffy's is a warm cozy bar tucked away in Hell's Kitchen. Tall claim on the famous wings but the Garlic Parmesan wings were quite salty. The mango harberno and Medium wings were really nice. Draft beer selection is awesome. Overall, a nice play to hangout on a Friday night with some bar grub and good draft beer!

I don't go to NYC a lot but this place is a must if you like sports and WINGS! These are some of the best wings I have ever had and I am a wing snob. Good draft selection at reasonable prices. Did i I mention the wings??!!

Great food and drinks bartenders are very friendly love this place!! I definitely recommend too anybody want to have a good time!!

They have a good atmosphere and good food besides the Bar and a good Billiards room with Music.

Needed a late night snack after a busy day being a tourist. Saw this place on Yelp and mention of the good wings so we headed over. We enjoyed it. Wings were good. Nice vibe. It's a bar but I had a 15 year old with me and it wasn't weird, at least not at 9P. The staff were very busy but attentive. Not a single thing to complain about!

Great neighborhood-commercially type bar, was not too crowded. Good beer selection and awesome options on the menu. What we ordered: Medium wings 8pc Garlic parm wings 8pc French fries Medium wings could have used more sauce, but they were hot and fresh. Garlic Parm wings were out of this world and we ended up dipping our fries in them. French fries were the freshest I've had in a while. While waiting for our food we played the basketball game and watched the football game in TV. Cool spot!

After reading the reviews I thought it was a shame I've never been there! I live two blocks from SD's. However, reading how you respond to customers made me realize I dodged a bullet. If you have that attitude then for sure it'll go down to your beleaguered staff. Of course they didn't come back...how much do you underpay them? If you were a decent manager, they would have done it out of respect. I left the hospitality field when I was 26 - with 10 years experience. I was trained in formal service. With that knowledge you can relax the service but you can't go up, without studying. I know what I'm talking about. You, Sir, would do everyone a service if you began your next phase. I wish you best wishes in your next adventure.

If you are looking for wings, then fly your way on here. The wings are so good here!! Juicy and tender!!! On top of that the bar tenders here are so kind and attentive!! Ooops how can I forget to say that they not only have a great beer selection on tap but also WINE ON TAP!! Thanks Jon & Chris for making the experience at Scruffy Duffy's feel like home !!!

This place is extremely dirty! The food is dry and there are rats that run in and out! The owner is disgusting and tries to ignore this issue! Stay far away from here!!

Found this place on Yelp went in before the crowd on Halloween. The guy at the bar was friendly right as soon as we walked in. Friendly and the service was great. Ordered food a few orders of wings, with fries and onion wings. It was fast and delicious.

Best sports bar in NYC!! Absolute must during Sunday Football and don't even get me started on the wheel!

They treated me very well here. I was there at like 4 PM on a Saturday. I was walking around trying to find anywhere to eat and stumbled on this place. It was a little crowded but not too bad. I got my own table in the corner. The waitress was so lovely. I ordered the house salad with grilled chicken which was huge enough. Really, picture a big bowl but I was hungry and wanted more chicken. I asked the waitress if she can put in for double order chicken and she said yes easily. Guy brought out a really big piece on a separate plate for me which was more than one more serving. I was so happy. Food was delicious and the price was right. Everyone was really nice there. Seemed like a good venue to watch sports too. Overall, I really liked it there.

I'm not a beer person. But I really like the blue point. Are the wings extra spicy were absolutely just that. But really phenomenal. I like the boneless. Definitely needed the extra blue cheese. Yummy. Bartender was very friendly and great service.

Great place to relax with fun people, friendly bartenders and good food. Highly recommend.

This place is awesome! A friend and I wanted to play a few games of pool so we checked this place out. Tons of beers on tap. Tomato soup was great, wings were awesome and the burger was delicious. We will definitely be back.

My bud wanted to grab a beer and wings on the extreme west side in hells kitchens before hitting the west side hwy to Westchester and I don't drink beer or a big wings eater but they do have diet soda and plenty of other types of yummy munches. A nice easy going sports bar that has full bar menu , good variety of food like sliders , burgers , pizza , fries , wings and much more . The decor is simple bar type with ample bar seating and beyond. My bud and I took seats at the bar watching the yankee game , hockey game, basketball game and whatever else was on TV. For me Buffalo sliders , fries , pizza , wings , giant pretzel and whatever else my buddy ordered .All jokes aside we did order all the above but his two coworkers dropped in to help us eat it all. Overall a solid bar that is my type of place , civil crowd , cool friendly vibe and most important really good food.

The service here is terrible. Maybe you need to be local. Food is ok, but very sorry we gave it a second chance.

The owner of this restaurant going back & forth with people in the reviews is so unprofessional & almost funny. Typical baby boomer Get a life dude & learn how to take criticism

Had several drinks and some bar food with a friend, all okay. Called for the check and thought it was a bit high. Asked the server about the price and learned there was a $3 per drink charge for serving ice in a whiskey. I was astounded, $12 dollars upcharge for serving whiskey over ice. The server after much resistance finally relented and took the extra ice change of the check. REPLY TO OWNER: I've lowered the star rating to one star now for your insolence. Your trying to get out of the hospitality industry for a good reason- your business model- customer is a sucker, play them for fools. As everyone knows, a basic serving of liquor is one and a half ounces, weather mixed or on the rocks. I guess you try to under pour and cheat the customers, then when someone orders something "on the rocks" you try to charge them for the ice to push the price up. You should be ashamed (which is unlikely as your shameless), no wonder your trying to leave the business and no one wants to buy it from you. Go to mass and confess your sins!

Stopped in to try the "world famous wings" and have to say I was really impressed. The bar is a cool, modern sports bar style environment. The staff was really friendly and attentive and the drinks were great. We had the honey hot wings, cheese curds, and buffalo chicken sandwich. The flavor of the wings was a great balance of sweet and spicy, the sandwich was well cooked and juicy, and the cheese curds were a good salty treat. Overall a really fantastic experience.

I have been coming here for a long time. Post covid shut down might actually be my favorite time to come because of the new staff. The bartenders are absolutely amazing and make this bar what it is. Sam, Chris, Tommy, Krista, and Billy all make this bar so much fun.

New York City best pub and best staff:) Excellent atmosphere with super attentive staff coupled with great food If you are from nyc or are visiting you have to come to scruffy My sister is coming in from Canada to try this place as I told her how much fun I have here
