Rooftop beer garden with American comfort food and great drinks
"The Deal: $7 beer; $10 wine; $10 select cocktails Tavern 29 is a two-story bar with TVs, chandeliers, and exactly one thing that sets it apart: a rooftop. It isn’t very high, so you won’t get much of a view, but there a bunch of picnic tables that are perfect for outdoor group drinking in Nomad. And if the weather isn’t great, you can grab a table inside and eat a burger." - bryan kim, neha talreja
"The Deal: $7 select beer; $10 select wine; $10 select cocktails Despite being surrounded by taller buildings on all sides, the roof at Tavern29 in Nomad is always packed. The outdoor beer garden has picnic tables, TVs, and the same big selection of drinks and bar food that you can get on the two indoor floors downstairs." - bryan kim, kenny yang
"Bars with TVs outside are unicorns - and especially good for coworker hangs. You get to breathe in some fresh air for the first time all day, and you have something to watch should your bitching session about your bosses come to a lull. Tavern29 is easily one of the more pleasant bars in the entire Murray Hill area." - katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg
"The Deal: $40 For Two Hours Of Beer, $10 For An Additional Hour; $45 For Two Hours Of Beer/Wine, $10 For An Additional Hour; $50 For Two Hours Of House Liquor/Beer/Wine, $10 For An Additional Hour; $55 For Two Hours Of Premium Liquor/Beer/Wine, $20 For An Additional Hour Tavern 29 has high ceilings and chandeliers, which technically makes it nicer than most other bars in the area. Mostly, though, it’s a just big pub with a good beer selection, a couple of floors, and a little rooftop where you can hang out in the summertime. If half your friends live uptown and the other half haven’t traveled north of Penn Station since 2009, this is a good compromise." - hannah albertine, bryan kim
"A person in your improv class asked you to hang out, and you said “Yes, and why not meet for an ale at the tavern,” in an Elizabethan accent without realizing you weren’t doing a scene. Of all the taverns, Tavern29 is probably your safest bet. This is an old (built-in-1864 old), unpretentious place where people hang with friends and maybe watch the game on TV. Also, unless you’ve got a key to the park, Gramercy is a weird place to try to have a steamy date in the first place." - neha talreja
