"Valhalla, a loud tavern with nearly 50 beers on tap, feels like a grown-up version of a place you’d find in the East Village. Consider this place the next time you're planning a low-key team outing. In addition to beverages, they serve snacks like Bavarian pretzels and bratwurst, which go perfectly with microbrews." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, sonal shah, tiffany yannetta
"A loud beer bar with probably 40 taps in the western part of Midtown, Valhalla feels like a grown up version of a place you’d find in the East Village. They have decent bar food too." - katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg
"Valhalla may look like a random bar in the East Village, but you won’t find any pong-appropriate light beers at this casual spot in Hell’s Kitchen. Most of the 40 beer draught beers are pretty rare and none are cheaper than $8. The one-room space can get a bit loud after work, but you can usually find seats at a picnic table or the long bar." - matt tervooren
"Heading to Valhalla is the sensible choice when in Hell’s Kitchen. It has 38 beers on tap with another 20 in cans and bottles — expect to find a style for every palate, mostly for $9 a pop. For those who want to lean into the Valhalla theme, mead is available, too. The food menu includes bar fare like wings, sliders, and nachos." - Eater Staff
"While bar nachos seem simple enough, their execution often leaves a lot to be desired. Valhalla draws in Hell’s Kitchen crowds not just with its top-notch beer selection including 48 craft brews on top, but also with bites that are much better than they need to be. The nachos grande are expertly layered with juicy beef or chicken, onion, sliced olives, jalapeños, and slick, unfussy cheese sauce. The sour cream and salsa on the side ensure everything stays crisp." - Paul Schrodt
