The Liberty NYC

This place saved me more than once when other restaurants in the area either closed too early or opened too late for when I needed food. I ended up picking up to-go orders here twice during my trip. The breakfast burrito was huge and tasty! The turkey club wrap was fresh and delicious, with great crispy & well-seasoned fries on the side. The staff that took my order each time was super friendly and personable. Highly recommend this place!

Great spot to go to catch up with friends/coworkers. Bar was nice. Food is above average. Highly recommend and will come again.

There are so many places to choose in NYC that you would never have to go to the same place twice but ill be back 100 percent. The cocktails were so good we had many round of the empress cocktail and the marg with watermelon juice . Johnathan was nothing short of an icon . He gave great service made amazing drinks and made us feel like friends. After he left a girl took over with the sleeve tattoo of her fave actress and she was just as attentive and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Some of the best fries I’ve ever had. 100/10 would recommend this spot is a vibe and its so cute with lights for the holidays.

After doing karaoke next door with three friends, we stopped in for dinner and drinks. The food was definitely good — no complaints there — and our server was awesome. He was attentive, kind, and genuinely apologetic when we brought up our concern. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill when we used the bathroom. The smell was absolutely horrendous. It seems like there may be an issue between the street and the building, as the odor backing up into the restroom was overwhelming. It felt like a serious health concern, and I immediately had to gag and walk out. Again, the food and vibes were great, and our server handled the situation as best as he could. I was told they’re moving to a new location soon, and I truly wish them well. I hope the new space doesn’t have these bathroom issues, because aside from that, it could have been a great night

New York is known for its attitude and just generally not being accessible for new people. I’m not new, and I’ve been to a ton of restaurants around town. One that keeps me coming back over and over is The Liberty. The food, staff, and drinks are always incredibly consistent. I always sit at the bar and I’ve been served by both Lisa and Louis now. Both of them made me feel like I was the star of their day, even when they were clearly slammed. Anybody who can maintain a positive attitude at times like that deserves a raise in my opinion. Above and beyond. I had coconut shrimp and a salad this time, but no matter what I get the food is surprisingly delicious. I love this hidden gem so much. It may be a “sports bar” but it’s so much cooler than your average pub. 13/10 stars!!

We stopped in for dinner while visiting NYC and left pretty underwhelmed, especially considering the prices. The food was just okay—nothing memorable. My husband ordered the steak and I had the crab sandwich; both were fine, but definitely not worth what we paid. One thing that really stood out was the drink pricing. My husband ordered a soda and it came in a very small glass (about 6 oz) with ice and cost $5, with no free refills. That felt excessive. I ordered the passion drink, which was actually pretty good and probably the highlight of the visit. Service was slow and not very attentive. We waited longer than expected and didn’t feel checked on much throughout the meal. Overall, it wasn’t a terrible experience, but for the price and location, we expected better food and service. Probably wouldn’t return.

This is the spot for my office. A bar with legit food. Huge portion with a very reasonable price, and very delicious!!! I love their pulled pork nachos. The best. They are always extremely patient with my colleagues who have different kinds of food allergies and restrictions. My husband loved their Cajun burger - it’s ridiculously big with waffle fries. We always go for their happy hour for $10 mules. Perfect spot for lunch or relaxing time after work! The only downside is that they seem always short staffed. Don’t get me wrong - they all work very hard, running around and doing everything. As a result, we do often need to wave our arms hard to get our waitress’s attention.

Smelled like cigarettes inside. Burger was raw. Fries were cold. Charged $1.00 per side of ranch dressing. Waiter charged me $10.00 for (2) small diet cokes. I ordered one soda and one was a refill The burger was $25.00. Lettuce was wilted. I will never go back given the competition here in Manhattan. I wouldn't go there better off going to five guys.

Fantastic food and service. Fun ambiance to meet with friends or watch a game. The team is consistent with taking care of guests.

We walked in as a big group for happy hour. It's my coworker's spot. Staff were attentive. The happy hour bites are large and shareable, like the popcorn chicken with different sauces. We were split along 3 tables, so we had to rotate to talk to each other. I enjoyed the Ginger Snap cocktail, which had autumn spices. They have plenty of space for events.

My friends and I stopped by for happy hour on a Friday, in the late afternoon. It really wasn't very busy at all, so we had no trouble getting a table. I'm a sucker for a deal on drinks, so I was quite pleased with this place. Overall, the vibe were solid and the service was good. We didn't have any trouble flagging down the waiter for drinks. I have no idea what the quality of the food is, though, since we just stuck to the drinks. Good place if you're in the area!

We were in the area & decide to stop by for drinks & a bite to eat. It's been a while since I've stopped by this place & seems like it's changed a bit. Drinks to start I had , Rum to me & Hubby tries the Ginger snap both decent drinks. For food we tried the App sampler, this is a great dish for sharing since u get to try a few of the appetizers , great mozzarella sticks , very good Mac& cheese bites good wings & waffle fries this can easily feed 3 people of course depends how hungry u are! We also tired the Shrimp & avocado salad it was very good. Decent size location, service was good, prices are a bit on the high side but doable. We enjoyed our drinks & food.

Came here to watch the Knicks game and stayed for the vibes! Had a good time, just wish it wasn't so cold. The service though was warm and friendly so that counts for something.

What a nice place to stop by and have a drink and a snack. They had tables outside. Of course, they were in a covered patio area with space heaters, and we so enjoyed ourselves. Our servers were very friendly and very attentive and prompt. I would definitely go back there again and recommend you pop in for a drink and a snack or a full meal

The Liberty doesn't have the best drinks and definitely doesn't have the best food...to start, the drinks were super watered down. On top of that, the fried chicken and waffles were soggy and quite frankly not edible. The only reason I gave this place three stars was because I appreciate the fact that they play certain sports that other bars don't show like cricket.

Only went for happy hour and the service was great, friendly and attentive. The space is cavernous and loud but that's the theme and guess that's the attraction. Didn't try the food. Drinks and service get 4 stars.

I came here on a Saturday evening with three other family members and it was a good experience overall. Santa Con had just finished so the staff was still cleaning up and re-organizing things but our waiter and the bartender were friendly and attentive. Certain small items took longer than needed because our waiter was distracted, such as an extra spoon or salt and pepper, etc. I ordered the southern chicken sandwich and fries with a ginger beer. The chicken didn't have much seasoning so I had to add Tabasco sauce, but the fries were really good. The barbecue wings were also good, as well as, the chicken tenders. They were fresh and soft.

Great drinks. Great service. Great vibe. Stop in here before a broadway show or a game at the garden.

Dasha, what a gem she is. She gives great service and she gave us amazing recommendations to our taste pallets when it came to beer. The Liberty is a great venue as well! Happy hour until 8 pm which is amazing for people that come from Downtown.

The Liberty NYC was such an amazing experience! We genuinely enjoyed the staff - they were very cool people and overall great company. Initially, when we tasted the drinks, we were sure they would be the highlight of the night -- but when the food came out it really blew us away! With generous portions and a delicious taste, you really cannot go wrong here! They have super cozy heated outdoor dining (cool couches) and a newly renovated beautiful interior!!

It's a chill and fun environment for drinks. In my opinion, the food isn't the highlight, as it's just standard bar food. Service has always been kind and attentive. Overall, it's a great happy hour spot!

Went here for a quick, casual bite and a drink after work and found it to be the perfect spot. Prices were very reasonable and the food was delicious. About $10 a drink for a cocktail and they were made very well. Service was quick and friendly and it wasn't too packed for a Friday night. Many TVs around the bar for sporting events as well. The only negative was that there was either no air conditioning or it wasn't working so it was quite warm inside however outdoor seating was also available. Would definitely return again.

I was pretty excited to try this restaurant but after waiting over an hour for just a liberty burger I wasn't pleased. I all got was a Moscow mule. The waitress didn't check on us for almost 40 minutes. After asking on 3 attempts to check on our order then later asking for the manager twice it was very distasteful. It was busy in there at all everyone else's orders were coming out quickly and after noticing that my date and I were the only colored people in there it didn't feel any better. They kindly refunded us and we headed else where. Only gave 2 stars cause the mule was good and I was in good company.

BROWNS BACKERS IN NYC? Count me in... that on its own makes this a 10/10 bar!!! Okay but honestly.... we sadly were not here on Sunday :( .... but we did stop in for a cocktail and some appetizers... and it was delicious!!! The Passionista cocktail was to die for! - recommend by the very nice bartender who helped us and answered any question we had! While sitting there we got a little hungry so we decided on the Mac n Cheese Bites and the House Fries! BOTH SO YUMMY!!! The bites came out the perfect temperature and didn't burn us at all! Once we scarfed those down we moved to the fries.... deliciously flavored! They were both great choices and tasted sooooo good! This place was a very good choice to grab a quick bite to eat and a drink!! I can only imagine how fun it is on Browns Sundays! ... maybe i'll be back one day to celebrate the Browns!!

I Abby she's dope and the other girl she works with rules also. Elite Guinness pours.

Hadn't been here in a few years and it appears like one of my favorite things on the menu. They used to have these shoe string fries that were fried in duck fat with garlic and parsley. They were awesome. The ones I had during my visit last night were done dry hand cut fries sprinkled with a bit of parsley. Besides that, the rest of the food was great. Would recommend their Souther Chicken Sliders. Bartenders were great. Welcoming and friendly. Decor was also cute and holiday festive. Music was also jamming last night.

We found this place while wandering through NY and decided to stop in to get a bite to eat. It was not busy at all at that time and the service was excellent. Our food and drinks came out fast and we were treated very well. The restaurant is large and has a large bar area as well. Melissa was attentive and we enjoyed are time.

Food and drinks are great, Luis served me and my friend and he is AMAZING! Service was top notch and would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

I googled "Oyster Happy Hour near me" and The Liberty was on the list. Decided to try it out. Theres outdoor seating with heaters which is great to know. The host checked for vaccine cards then granted me access inside. I sat at the bar. It literally take up majority of the restaurant. Made my self comfortable and as soon as i seemed ready, the bartender handed me the menu. I asked about the Oyster Happy Hour and was delighted with the response. I placed my order along with a drink. I believe it was called Rum to me. Very sweet. I liked it. The place seemed to have a lot of tourist. I was asked if im a native NYer and if i knew of any festive spots. I guess they asked the right person. Loaded them with just a few staples as i finished my oysters. Man they were good. Not too bad. Satisfying at a great price point.

I was charged twice, one for three times as much and one for the correct amount. The waiter came up to me and told me the incorrect charge was going to be dropped after a day or two- but it was never dropped. I was then told I have to deal with this myself because they're trying to gaslight me saying there's no $100 charge when we can all see it on my app. I even told them to check the security camera of them freaking out for incorrectly charging me and then coming up to me and apologizing and saying it'll be gone. Be very careful spending your money here.

Came here for happy hour with a group of coworkers after work. We reserved a section outdoors, so they set up a couple couches and chairs for us. We had more people come that we reserved for so there were not enough seats, but they were nice enough to bring over a few extra folding chairs. I got a the tequila mockingbird drink, which was delicious. It had a nice kick to it because it was made with jalapeño tequila, but you could barely taste any liquor. Even though we were sitting outside on a cold(ish) day, we were all at the perfect temperature. They even have heaters outside in case you got cold. Really cute place, so I'll definitely be back for another happy hour!

We stopped by tonight, after the music at the restaurant we were going to was too loud. We wanted to have a conversation, and felt it wasn't the best ambiance for that. Listen, Linda, it was amazing. 1. Mike, our server was amazing. 2. The food, especially the Liberty Nachos, was delicious. best nachos I've ever had. 3. we weren't rushed, service was amazing and I 100% recommend.

We sat at the bar and Louis took great care of us. We stopped in for a happy hour drink and stayed for dinner at the bar. It was too much fun with a reasonable price for iconic NYC.

Made a reservation and was running late so made changes to the time and was pleasantly surprised to see them being very nice and accommodating about it. We got seated outside on the couches and while it wasn't the most convenient to eat per se it was extremely chill and 'loungey'. Ordered the chicken empanadas that came with a chimichurri sauce. Well fried but not greasy and bursting with filling is how I like my empanadas. That's exactly how they came. Got a salad- the aurugula, feta, walnuts one. First of, what a salad portion! It's to share tbh. Second, the walnuts were candied and added the right amount of zing to the salad. So fresh and appetizing. My Benny with smoked salmon was very very good. I mean you can't really go wrong with it. Fries were tasty. I judge a restaurant, especially a brunch place, by how they treat their potatoes. We got the regular and the home kind and neither disappointed. We got the bottomless option and while they have a full table policy they made an exception for one of us who doesn't drink. Brunch cocktails were standard- not too boozy but tasty. Definitely going back!

Had the most delicious Moscow mule! And the best oysters. Our service was phenomenal Colby did not miss a beat. Our food was good and ambiance was amazing had all the good jams. We are visiting from NM and took our breath away by far. We are so happy we ran into this restaurant. Happy hour is the best!

The food and drinks were outstanding... $1.50 blue point Oysters on happy hour was a great surprise. Ask for Colby, he took great care of us and had awesome recommendations!

I have only stopped here for drinks and and only during Happy Hour, based on a few recommendations. Has not disappointed. I always sit at the bar which seems to be always busy and full of great energy. Drinks are always strong and service is usually outstanding, depends on who you get. The ambience is nice, kind of old-school New York with a big wooden bar and eclectic decor. Seems to be a happening place to watch sports and cheer on your favorite team. Very interested in visiting for brunch as I have heard really great things about it. Definitely a go to when I am in the Herald Square/ Midtown area.

We looked all over for just the right place to have my birthday dinner. We found such a place just down the street from our hotel. The menu looked great, the location was awesome and they had outdoor tables. We were met and seated by a beautiful woman wearing an attractive red outfit. I really wish I had got her name as she really deserves to be mentioned here. Once we were seated, an extremely pleasant man named Colby waited on us. He was the epitome of a helpful, efficient, friendly and professional server. He really made my birthday dinner all that much more special. My date had the grilled salmon, mashed potatoes and veggies. I had the fish and chips. They were both preceded by a spinach dip starter that was phenomenal. The fish and chips were some of the best I've ever had and my date raved over the salmon. Our glasses were never empty and our server even comped our dessert as it was my birthday. A freshly made chocolate chip cookie, in a skillet with vanilla ice cream. It was to die for and the birthday recognized felt really good. The entire staff at this restaurant was top notch. Towards the end of our meal, we met Jonathon, he was as professional and friendly as they come. He invited us back for brunch on Saturday morning at 11 and we simply couldn't say no. The food, service and atmosphere made this is an incredible place to enjoy my birthday dinner. The "Ginger Snap" is an amazing drink and I highly recommend it. The restaurant is clean, well run and extremely organized. Our food was out within ten minutes or ordering it and it was hot and fresh. I was treated like gold and it was much appreciated. Thank you Jonathon and Colby. You are great at your jobs and really made a strangers birthday.

Great restaurant! Particular and very welcoming location. The staff is really courteous and attentive to the customer's needs, without being intrusive. Their pizza is good but the cheesecake is truly superb, much better than those advertised at a well-known place in the area. Kobe and Juliana treated us with professionalism and kindness. We felt at home! Ottimo ristorante! Posizione particolare e molto accogliente. Il personale è davvero cortese e attento ai bisogni del cliente, senza però essere invadente. La loro pizza è buona ma la Cheesecake è davvero superba, molto più buona di quelle pubblicizzate di un noto locale qui in zona. Kobe e Juliana ci hanno trattato con professionalità e gentilezza. Ci siamo sentiti a casa!

Casual bar to grab a drink and food at with friends or coworkers. Pretty full menu both on the drinks side and on the food side. There's seating both indoors and outdoors, but note the outdoor seating is literally right between the car traffic on the street and the high foot traffic on the sidewalks in midtown.

Went for happy hour with a couple friends. Good food for the price. Service was helpful and checked on us a healthy amount. The atmosphere was pretty calm and balanced for a Friday night.

LUIS IS THE BEST BARTENDER IN NYC!! Very funny and cool thats a good dude right there will return

Clemson Tiger football brought me here.

Staff was incredibly accommodating when a member of our party had to leave early, kitchen got him his food so he could catch his train. Everyone loved their food, the pulled pork was perfectly seasoned and not fatty at all. Highly recommend for a game day dinner.

The absolute BEST place to eat, drink, and watch Football! We came here right after Covid subsided and loved it! Great food, awesome drinks, and the best staff in NYC! soooo, we came back this weekend from Charleston sc just to watch the Cleveland Browns season opener! I was astounded to find the people even more welcoming, so friendly, awesome drinks, and an even larger menu! Totally worth the flight! You won't be disappointed I swear!

A food is generally pretty bad. Poor ingredients and fatty. It's not difficult to make a good Turkey wrap.

Decent place to grab a drink but not really outstanding in my opinion! Cozy comfortable seating and friendly service. I had an autumn sangria which was a bit light on the brandy and perhaps would have felt more worth my money if we had caught the happy hour. This place is smack in the center of midtown so it's conveniently located if you are coming from CUNY, Bryant park/ Rockefeller or penn station etc.. My friends drink (a winter/holiday themed mule) had pieces of candied ginger in it which she enjoyed. I did note that they have happy hour oysters though, and so I'd probably give them another shot and try a different drink on the menu.

They have a nicely heated outdoor seating area and holiday spirited decorations on the inside. Love the decor with the old school feel and picture frames throughout the walls. We came on a Wednesday around 7pm and there were maybe only 3 tables taken, so mostly empty on the inside. They have happy hour until 8pm!! Cocktails at $10 and oysters at $1.5 (min 6 order). Their service was great and checked on us frequently. I had the tequila mockingbird which was quite tasty and spicy. The food was also prepared quickly. We ordered the fish tacos, artichoke dip, and buffalo wings. Everything was pretty yummy and we couldn't finish it all between two ppl. Happy with the experience!

Had an appointment in the area & was starving so I decided to randomly stop in for some food & drinks. We were seated as we walked in (decided to sit at the bar) I ordered the coconut shrimp with some fries. The place is big & clean with lots of pictures on the wall (not sure of who tho lol) the bartender we had was great & he was very attentive. I always drink wine, which is what I had then decided to get something off the happy hour menu, a drink called "rum to me" which was tasty. Overall the place had a calm vibe to it, I'll definitely stop by again.

Came here for some drinks with friends and had a good time. Happy hour goes until 8 which is great! $1.5 oysters and decent drink options. Lots of seating and the staff were very quick. Only downside is that all they played on their numerous tvs/projectors was the Andy Griffith show reruns. Weird!

Fantastic food and service. The waitress Sam has been a great time and extremely helpful. Great eggs and tots for brunch, will be back for the bottomless brunch soon! Must come to when in NYC!

I must've passed this bar a MILLION times on my way to work and always only looked in from the outside. It always seemed crowded with white collared workers trying to socialize after their 9-5 with their happy hour deals. I stepped in for a hot second with my coworkers for the after party at the Liberty following our company's holiday party. I was excited to see if this bar was really worth coming to, or if it was just another rowdy bar in midtown. Walking in, I was surprised at the size of the bar - it was a lot longer than I expected. The bar is located in the back, forming almost an oval where people could hang and grab a drink. They also had multiple tables along the side to serve those who are trying to grab some food. As expected, it got pretty crowded with the horde of coworkers who migrated here after the holiday party. It was so packed in the back that it was a little hard to grab a drink. Luckily, they also had servers walking around the sides asking if we needed help ordering. Prices are pretty reasonable for midtown, especially with their happy hour deals. With their music blasting and sports channels going on in the background, it can get pretty rowdy. If you intend on hearing what your friends are saying, best believe you're going to be using your outdoor voice. Unfortunately after a bit, a few of my coworkers and I decided to leave and go to another bar since it was very loud and hard to hold a conversation. Overall, it seems to be a pretty popular spot on the weekdays with good happy hour deals.

Had dinner here with some friends who were visiting from out of town. It was a warm summer evening and they had all the doors open and it was honestly a little too hot for that. The AC was on too so it wasn't awful but sometimes I just want a nice cool place to have dinner. Anyway, we started with drinks and my cocktail was really good. For food, my better half and I split fried chicken sliders and fig jam & prosciutto pizza. The fried chicken sliders were very good but there was not enough fig jam on the pizza. I would have enjoyed more fig taste. For me, the sliders were a winner but the pizza was just okay. Service was friendly, just a little sporadic. They were busy so I'll give them a pass but prompt service would have been much appreciated. The main reason I'm not giving this four stars is that it was unnecessarily loud in the place. There are no soft surfaces anywhere to absorb sound and they had the music cranked up so high that conversation was nearly impossible unless you were screaming at the person directly next to you or across from you. Most of the dinner we just sat there staring at one another because there was no way to have a conversation. Before you ask, yes, I am a cranky old man, but I don't think that's why I thought it was so loud. I was with a group of people from 18-50 and everyone was asking why it was so deafening in there. Yelp's summary of this place quantifies it as "loud" but I'd go on record saying it's "very loud". On a non-crowded night, I'd probably go back for a drink but if it's busy and I wanted to actually converse with my dinner companions, I'd skip it.

Ambiance is above all in this place; and i believe that will, in turn, introduce a peak interest in everything else this beautiful place has to offer. Thanks Sean!

Stopped in the liberty for some bar food after doing some pretty serious shopping at Macy's - needless to say we were starving and very excited to eat! When we got to the liberty we were relieved to see it was pretty empty - we weren't drinking and ordered 5-10 minutes after we sat down so we were hoping to get our food quick. We ordered 3 appetizers (pictured). Unfortunately, it took over an hour for these appetizers to come out. With that being said, the food was good - mac n cheese bites are definitely a must order. Overall, it was an okay experience. The food was good but not worth an hour+ wait on its own. However, you're looking to drink and stay for an extended period of time, this might be the spot for you.

While visiting New York City for the first time ever my sister and I checked out The Liberty. This was one of my favorite places to go. Luckily we had seating facing the outside with the French doors opened up. Talk about a magical day! Our server Chris was very attentive to our needs and very friendly as well! She kept coming back to make sure our drinks stayed full including water. Plus she had an upbeat personality. The pizza - the New was the best I've ever eaten in my life, and the drink was very flavorful even with a flower in it! There was an International American Idol going on so a lot of spirit and energy filled the room! If I'm lucky enough to come to NYC soon, I'll make it a point to come back to The Liberty!

Food: 8/10 Ambiance: 8/10 Service: 7/10 Solid place for after-work drinks or casual fare. We came here during a very heavy rainstorm and the outdoor seating for 7 was perfectly covered. I ordered one of the spicy cocktails and it was very pleasant. I also ordered the fettuccine Alfredo and chicken and it was tasted fantastic with VERY generous portions. We didn't go inside, but it seemed very well decorated. The service was great.
