The Waylon

Very fun Packer bar in the city! Come early for game days to get a table. There is also an awesome back patio for days the weather permits that allows for extra room. Love the game day specials that take you straight home to a Wisconsin tailgate. Who doesn't love a good bloody mary with all the fixings? Great spot to come for game days. Go Pack Go!

Really fun packer atmosphere on game day! Only had the guacamole and chips and the guacamole wasn’t bad but the chips were not my favorite. The margarita was nice but over priced in my opinion (16.50) I saw someone sneak some food into the back so just come for the atmosphere and drinks. Skip the food if possible.

Absolutely terrible service. The bartender was unbelievably rude—condescending, short-tempered, and clearly uninterested in doing their job. Asking a simple question about music got my drink dumped out an eye roll and a snarky response, like I was wasting their precious time. If I wanted to be talked down to and ignored, I’d go argue with a parking meter. This kind of attitude has no place in hospitality. There are plenty of bars in this city—ones that actually want your business. Don’t waste your time or money here.

Woohoo Green Bay Packers bar with sound on! Love the relaxed and spacious vibe of this place, bartenders are attentive. No table service so order at the bar. GET THE CHEESE CURDS! Omg they are legit and pieces of heaven. Friendly crowd on game day, and there is more garden space outside (with a tv). Can't comment on the live music yet, but happy to come back and enjoy the games!

Campy western decor and a Fordham flag surround a bar and row of picnic type tables. The bar was busy which slowed down table service during the happy hour. The waitstaff appeared after the happy hour ended. There is live entertainment and a nice if loud relaxed vibe. That vibe and the staff make the place. The food is "mid" aa the kids say. Tex-Mex fare that is incredibly bland. The average queso can save the meal. Fresh corn tortilla chips with guacamole, beans or queso are your best bet. Everything else takes a while. The happy hour drinks are all ice.

Went in for a lunch with my family. Loved the decor and the food was really good. Bar staff were really nice and the music (country) was fine. Outside seating also available which in good weather is very handy.

Greenbay Packers, country music, tex-mex, great staff. Indoor and outdoor (covered and heated) seating. Came here to drink with fellow fans before the game💚💛🏈

One of the only country-western bars in Hell's Kitchen NYC. Live music starts at 9pm on Saturday and the band was good! Be warned, it's a Green Bay Packers bar, so if that's not your scene, then you'll want to find a different venue for your NFL games. Tried the buffalo fried chicken sandwich and it was delicious! Large juicy chicken breast perfectly fried, served along side blue cheese dressing and fries (extra charge).

I recently visited The Waylon in New York City during the week, and I'm so glad I did! The service was absolutely top-notch: prompt, attentive, and genuinely friendly. It's clear that the staff takes pride in making sure every guest feels welcome and well taken care of. I wasn't able to make it during the weekend, but I'm sure it very lively for Sunday football.

The Waylon effortlessly transports you to the heart of Texas without ever leaving Manhattan. The moment you step inside, you're greeted by a warm and inviting Western-themed atmosphere, complete with rustic decor, dim lighting, and a touch of Southern charm. Whether you're looking to kick back with friends or enjoy a solo night out, the relaxed vibe makes it easy to settle in. One of my absolute favorite menu items is their Frito pie--it's the perfect combination of crunchy, cheesy, and savory flavors that bring back childhood memories. Pair it with an ice-cold beer, and you have a winning combination. Another highlight of The Waylon is their incredible live country music, which takes place from Tuesday to Saturday. The performances are always top-notch, featuring talented musicians who truly capture the soul of country music. Whether you're a die-hard country fan or just someone looking for a great night out, this spot has something special to offer. It's quickly become one of my go-to bars in NYC, and I can't wait to return!

Cool Midwest-meets-the-South vibe. We went on a quiet weeknight. Burgers were incredible and the old fashioneds went down way too easily!

Have been multiple times for Packers games or for a quick pint - Chloe, Paul, and the whole gang will make sure every craving is sated! The food is excellent but Paul will pour you a phenomenal pint of G!

Came here for a Packers game and boy was this one of the best experiences I've ever had watching NFL football. I'm newish to NFL football and im a brand brand new Packers's fan thanks to my partner converting me. Not only did he manage to make me fall in love with him, but he also got me to fall in love with football. Like legitimately. Had you told me id be watching all the football games even 3 years ago, id have laughed at you. Anyway, so this was his first time ever in NYC and it was important for us not to miss the game so the fact that we found a Packers bar for the game was amazing. We arrived slightly after the game started but right at the first Packers touchdown and the place was packed to the brim. We made our way to the other side of the bar and there was a bit more wiggle room there so that's where we made ourselves comfortable for the rest of the game. I started off with Shirley Temples and then converted to beers. We ordered cheese curds (so freaking good) and wings (very meh) to eat. After the game we wanted to order more cheese curds but they had run out. That made me so sad. I had never been to a Packers bar before but I am so glad that I am a Packers fan because I swear that they are the best fans. Everyone is so unbelievably nice (49ers fans on the other hand ....). I will definitely be back for a game!!

Fun vibe and great cocktails at The Waylon. Love the Happy Hour burgers too. This is a fun place for a birthday celebration or other fun event.

I really enjoyed the outdoor patio. They have trivia nights which is hosted by Jack, who is such a great host. I had two drinks and the burger and fries. Both hit the spot and I really enjoyed my time here. 10/10.

"Deep in the Heart of the Meatpacking District"! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsuhovkRLbA Howdy! You can find the country bumpkin watering hole named, "the Waylon". If you are into affordable bar food, country tunes and fresh cold beer - this is your place. And if you are a Packers fan, that is the cherry on top for some (my roomie). My boyfriend and his friends have dude's night here. And now it's become my own little slice of country goodness. I enjoy all the grub and I'm picky. I love the guac and the super crunchy chips. Huge fan of the veggie burger option. And I have a Lonestar beer when I'm in the mood, a fancy IPA other nights and a glass of chilled rose if that's what I fancy. The music is such a fun addition to the mood. The band is talented and will indulge us with pop covers in their style even. Our buddy knows all the songs and he sings them all. I even recommend this spot if you're headed to Terminal 5 for a relaxing pre function vibe before standing at a show for hours. Highly recommend for country and non country lovers! Added bonus is a back patio. They also take reservations for slightly larger groups. Tip your bartender y'all!

Do not go here...it seems to attract an immature low rent rough crowd and the bathrooms are disgusting. I brought my friend who was visiting from out of town and we lasted about five minutes. Extremely rude bartenders and clientele. do not go here-

Food was divine! We watched the NBA finals here and it didn't disappoint. So fun. Perfectly loud too. The bartenders were fine - nothing extraordinary, but maybe we aren't extraordinary ourselves! The Buffalo chicken sandwich is wow. So good. With blue cheese. Yum. The bun is great. Chicken is perfectly cooked. Buffalo is tangy. The fries are money. The cheese curds are an excellent appetizer. We sat at the bar. My total came to $27. I wish they would've asked if I wanted more water more often. Great place.

Texas theme (straight) bar in Hell's Kitchen. Frito pie rocks. Prices are good for happy hour. Big outdoor patio (covered I think) and country music normally on weekends.

One of the only country-western bars in Hell's Kitchen NYC. Live music starts at 9pm on Saturday and the band was good! Be warned, it's a Green Bay Packers bar, so if that's not your scene, then you'll want to find a different venue for your NFL games. Tried the buffalo fried chicken sandwich and it was delicious!

One the best ever pubs I've been to. Great food. Great service. Really good for a packer game.

The best Packers bar they have classic Wisconsin foods and drinks, including cheese curds, brats, and bloody Mary's. I highly recommend doing a shotski after a Packers win! The staff was friendly and fun, and the bar is cozy and reminds me of a piece of home. There's outdoor seating as well

Came during the holidays for catch ups with a friend that I hadn't seen in awhile. He lives in the bronx and I had been staying for awhile in Chelsea so meeting in Hell's kitchen was some kind of compromise. We went to a margarita place earlier and were looking for food that wasn't greasy Mexican and I decided I wanted cheese curds. Yeah, that's probably not much better. But it was necessary. And Yelp guided me to the Waylon. A place I actually had bookmarked for a really long time and god knows why because its a Green Bay Packers bar?! (No one gets this because I grew up in Michigan and we generally hate the Packers). So here we are. I'm going to say though, it's cozy. Decent beer selection. I think they actually comped a dollar off the beers for happy hour which I was surprised by because so many bars aren't even acknowledging happy hour these days. I had a nice brown ale I never heard of before. We ordered the cheese curds I absolutely needed and some fried pickles. The cheese curds come with hot sauce which is fine. But I wanted some kind of ranch. They don't have regular ranch but they pulled out a cheesy ranch aioli dipping sauce of sorts which is a serious upgrade. Cheese curds - AMAZING. Nice cheese pulls. Not too rubbery but with a slight squeak. The dipping sauces make it even that much more special. The fried pickles are a little unfortunate. They're sliced too thinly and I wasn't too keen on the batter. It lacks flavor. It's just deep fried wisps of pickle. Though, I'll say, the prices for bar/restaurant food in this area are incredibly reasonable. The burger on their menu which I have not tried is only $11. Same as most of their sandwiches and pretty much everything on the food menu is no more than $10-12. This is how a good bar with tasty bites should be.

Ugh I'm never ordering from here again! I ordered the Waylon Cobb salad with cotija ranch dressing. It was $12 along with tax, delivery, tip, and caviars fees $16. What I received was a tiny little side salad Cobb style. This was worth about $5. Minimal bacon. Guac not fresh. Small amount of chicken. Small amount of pico. Was there a hard boiled egg? Maybe a piece or two? But wow. Worst Cobb salad I've ever had. I will never order from here again. Huge waste of money. You'll spend a lot and never be full coming here. I've had the Cobb salads at American Retro and they are THE BEST!!! Same price and triple the size and toppings. I'll stick with them. :)

Came here for a Packer game while I was in NYC this past Sunday, and wow everything about this place is Packers!!! It was so great, for sure Packers country bar. Wings were great and crispy. Cheese curds (Special for Packers game day) were awesome and service, even though there was only 1 bartender for a good amount of the time, she was awesome and worked that bar like a real pro. Great Job!! As a Packer fan, I thoroughly enjoyed myself (even though it was a loss) and will be back when I am in NYC again on a Sunday.

Pleasant little Western-themed bar on 10th Ave. Due to the pandemic they currently don't have a happy hour, and the whiskey of the day is just the well whiskey. The bartender said they may bring these specials back in the Fall, but currently there's no planned date for when that will happen. Feel free to call and ask, though no one answered when I tried calling. I got a Coors Light draft (cold and crisp) while my girlfriend opted for the watermelon frozen margarita. Her drink was both sweet and sour, not very strong, and quickly melted. Based on the recommendations of other Yelpers we got an order of fried cheese curds, which are both greasy and delicious. You can press the curds in a napkin to squeeze out some of the extra oil, but wait until they've cooled a little or the melty cheese will just stick to the napkin. Sorry body! They're delicious. If they do end up bringing back happy hour I'll be glad to return and try more of the menu.

We had awesome burgers, and the live music added to the festive atmosphere. We had a great time. The bar tenders were friendly, too.

Unexpectedly a favorite stop on our bar tour in NYC. Buddy and I were in town for Springsteen on Broadway, and while most of the trip we visited the city's oldest bars, we somehow found ourselves in Hells Kitchen at The Waylon for dinner. Bartender was a Scottish-American who knew a little bit about everything. Couple seats down from us - a Swedish folk music teacher (he told all the jokes on himself before I could even get to them.) Bartender recommended the Steak tacos - I had three - and there were right on. Also had some friend cheese curds, of which were so good that we should all eat a bucket of every day. The Waylon is a little slice of life I certainly enjoyed and will visit again.

Stopped in to catch the Super Bowl in the backyard. The owner was gracious and attentive. In every great bar there's an Irishman called Danny with great tales. This was no exception. We enjoyed Proper pints of Guinness to celebrate being able to see the game during covid. ...and the prices are much better than next door if you're a frugal Fanny.

Me and my boyfriend were in NY for the weekend and wanted to catch the Packers game while in town. After doing some research ahead of time, this place came up as one of many Packer bars in the city. There was a little delay with getting the game on but after 10 minutes we were all set to go! With the cheering and fan base there, it was like I was at a bar back in Wisconsin! All in all, we had a great time and we already decided that we will definitely be back next year when we're in town.

Over the past few months this has become a regular spot for me multiple times a week. When I walk in the staff waves and knows exactly what I want to drink before I sit down. Jess makes me feel more than welcome and I bring all my friends and coworkers by because of it. Great food, great vibe, and Jess I love ya!

Once a week during the NFL season: One of NYC's finest Green Bay Packer bars. The rest of the time: a country western themed bar with a jukebox and pretty good pub food. You can learn about the "rest of the time" through other reviews and their menu. But for Packers games, there is no better place to watch every game with sound on, a Wisconsin-themed drink specials, and of course Wisconsin-fried food like fried pickles, fried cheese curds (omg these are amazing), and more! 3 giant TVs inside with lots of tables both inside and in the back (a well-lit porch area, outside). After every packers score, they play a familiar packers song as the entire bar goes crazy. I started coming to the Waylon early last year after trying Kettle of Fish (super cramped but good vibe), Three Monkeys, and The Stout. Since my first game here, I've not missed a single one, including this year even though I live in Brooklyn. Yes, I commute 65 minutes both directions just for one game because the vibe and experience are THAT GOOD!

Great burgers. Fair prices. Fast and friendly service. Clean place and good atmosphere.

Dropped by with a friend for afternoon cocktails and fries on a Saturday. We sat on the back patio which was covered with a tent and also had hanging heaters, which were welcome on a slightly blustery day. The bartender was nice and attentive. We got checked on regularly even though there weren't too many other patrons. Prices are what you'd expect for the area, and the service was good. If you're in the area, stop by for a pint!

Now nothing beats a bar with an extended happy hour; 12:00 pm - 7:00 PM?!?! Thats fair for everyone! Whether you like to start your day with an eye opener or catch a quick drink after work, this bar has you covered. The Waylon offers a ton of different beer, wine and cocktails. My favorite happy hour selection happens to be their moscow mule, its so tart and refreshing, you'll keep reaching for more! Also side note, their regular nonalcoholic ginger ale is sooooooo good! Don't sleep on this little gem!

Bartender Chloe was exceptional. Good banter and even better drinks. Definitely will be coming back!

Jackson made me the most delectable mezcal margarita I've ever had. If Jackson were here every day, I'd move to NYC, and that's saying a lot, because I'm from Texas and I like guns. If you like country and you're in the city, this is the obvious choice.

I brought a bunch of my friends here for a happy hour. It wasnt too crowded so we were able to grab a table and order all drinks or food at the bar. The bar tender was very nice! There was a drink happy hour that all drafts were $5 until 7pm. Fun place, nice ambiance, a bit off the main drag. If you want to have fun but not go loco from the crowd,this is your place!

I came across this place looking for live music and it's no joke. Been here several times on Saturdays mostly because of Butch's band playing all types of rock, blues and country music, always a very upbeat experience. People even dance when the music hits them. Good stuff!

Dope spot, meet my ace and his girl for a meeting. Apparently it's a Packers bar. Due to the rona wouldn't get the full experience. But the frozen margaritas hit, and what seems like a full bar even tho it has the sports bar aesthetic is wavy. As stated gotta visit when everything opens back up.

The Waylon Wings were very good! A lot of fries but pictured them after I had ate about half of them. The Carne Asada tacos were not as good as I hoped. Regardless the food was pretty good and I would order from them again but try something else.

Do NOT be scared away by the fact that it's a "country music bar." I don't love country music so I was expecting something else, but it turned out to be an amazing fun vibe. On Wednesdays, they have what is probably one of the best trivia nights in Manhattan hosted by Jeopardy champ Austin Rogers. I was blown away by the fact that he was here and I wondered out loud, "How many Jeopardy champions are there anyway?" A newfound friend (they come easily in this place) turned to me and said, "There are four." I thought to myself that there's no way there are only four Jeopardy champions, when I realized what he was actually trying to say: there were four champions in the bar AT THAT TIME. I was useless during trivia, but it was a super fun time!

Jukebox Good times Good service My kind of honky tonk. You have to get the fried cheese. Tacos are amazing too! Oh and get a Miller lite for this guy...

If you want a bar that feels like a saloon, this place is for you. The food has been pretty standard pub fare the last few times I've been here, and the beer selection can be hit or miss if you're a beer snob like me, but Joe and Andy are kings, there's usually a good (and often attractive) crowd, and they have live music with some frequency. Have had a grand time here playing drunken darts late into the night, though the dartboard was conspicuously missing in my most recent visit (not my fault!). There's an outdoor area too, which I didn't realize was even here until tonight - apparently I arrive too late when on my typical schedule - with a fun looking set of cornhole boards leaning against one wall.

I am from out of town and was staying close by. I wandered in there after a long day with family. A Texas bar that serves Shiner with a Midwestern flair. I had the BEST cheese curds since the MN State Fair. They were amazing. The regulars and bartenders made me feel like it was my home bar! Highly recommend!

Maybe because it was 4pm on a Tuesday, but wow... What a sorry excuse for food. Burger was burnt, fries were well overcooked. Bartender was friendly enough but the food. My gosh. Like really, c'mon, my dog could make a better burger!!! Look at the picture.. **warning - graphic image** LOL But as the rest of the joint fares... Country bar.. Love it. TV's for sports. Jukebox. Great size space. I'm sure this place does well on Thurs / Fri. All that really mattered for me was my Guinness was cold, the Jameson delicious and the bartender friendly. So.. take it as you will... Just come when it's busy.... that way the cook won't fall asleep at the grill/broiler/hot plate... Not sure which. Maybe need to call Jon Taffer... Enjoy your time here...

Great food and staff and amazing live music. Best cheese curds I've ever had. My new favorite bar in Hells Kitchen.

I have been here twice. The first time was okay, drinks were meh and service slow but acceptable. The second time was a disgrace! The bartender kicked out my friend due to a mistaken belief that her ID was fake. You'd think a bartender in NYC would know how to verify a New Jersey license... anyways, he very rudely yelled at us to leave. Will never be back thanks to this JERK!

Country- yes Cool bartender- yes Chorizo tacos- yes! Totally a friendly bar to grab drinks and chit chat with friends or patrons. They have Deep Eddy sweet tea vodka here. Try it with lemonade and you've got a deadly drink!

This bar can be a hit or miss. Sometimes really good country music is playing and sometimes you can catch a good band. Other times, background music is lousy and/or soft. Drink prices have become more and more expensive to the point if they go up any more, I'll stop coming here altogether. I will say bartenders are excellent and very friendly. Just wish it was a little louder, a little more country, and little cheaper.

What a great surprise find. The food was delicious. We loved the wings, the burger, the hot dog, the fries (my favorite), the only thing that was just ok were the cheese curds, a surprise for a midwestern bar. I was disappointed they do the Bloody Hail Mary ONLY for Packers games but the mixed drinks were good. The service good, and the vibe the same. We went today for a playoff game not including the Packers, and it was not crowded and was just a good place to hang out. I will certainly go back to watch a game. Not sure as a Bears fan I can go there when the Packers are on..... but I am sure they would understand.

If you are a country fan, you will love this great bar named after the country super star Waylon Jennings. The music in the bar is of course exclusively country. The beer selection is great. The burger is fantastic. Great place to have in the neighborhood and I certainly will continue to frequent this location. I've yet to try them, though, they advertise a couple of frozen drinks that look great as well. Looking for a burger/beer bar? Look no further.

My husband and I were visiting from California, my friends old coworker worked here which is why we came originally. So happy we did, I just wish this place was around my hometown! Atmosphere 5/5 This place was so much fun! It's a bit small so there's not much room for sitting. The decor give it a great country bar style. There was also a live band there which were so good! There are small TVs Incase you are trying to catch any sports games. Service & Drinks 5/5 The bartender the night we went was so bubbly and fun! She made it such an awesome experience. They don't have a crazy amount of garnishes for specialty drinks. I asked for a whiskey smash, and the bartender was able to work her magic with what she had to make a pretty good replica.

I went it The Waylon last night and I have to say the decor is stunning!!! The bar is a good size, could hold around 40-50 people. The brick wall and metal accents are beautiful. They have a live band that come in on Fridays and I will definitely be going back to see that. The music is country, so if you're a plaid shirted lover at heart, this may be the bar for you. The selection of drinks is pretty basic, simple beers on tap and mixed drinks available. I am not sure if you are able to order food from this bar but I will be sure to check next time. I just had a basic pint of Guinness, which was poured correctly :) the bartender and staff are extremely welcoming and nice which makes the atmosphere warm. I will be headed back there on a Friday for sure to check out this bar again.

Oh I love the Waylon. This is a neighborhood bar at perfection. I don't really think there is much I can say that hasn't already been said, but seriously this is a wonderful place. The decor is rustic and cozy, the drinks are well made, the food is delicious, the staff is lovely, AND there is an outdoor patio in the back. What is not to love? There is regular music at this venue and other events. But it's so spacious that I have never really had to yell at someone to be heard and I have always found a seat. Seriously, if you want a good drink and a chill ball and you're in the area, check out the Waylon.

As a fan of good music and good people, I'm all about the Waylon (also, being from Texas, I know a good country music honky-tonk!). My husband and I had our engagement party here and everyone had a blast! He doesn't have a Yelp account so he made this ridiculous image as an ode to the owners & it's namesake... Pete is my favorite and made sure everyone was taken care of. Also, not even a fan of football but not only is it a country music bar, it doubles as a Green Bay Packers bar which is pretty fun!

My friend & I were looking for a laid back bar to go to for happy hour. She found the Waylon on yelp and I am so glad we ended up here. The staff is incredibly friendly, its a good space, the have a juke box loaded with country music (what more do you need), there was pretty fun crowd AND they have apple pie moonshine (which is delicious but it will 110% sneak up on you). Needless to say, we ended up staying the entire night and not just happy hour. I will definitely be back.
