Psychedelic MessAugust 16, 2016The food is fresh and does take time but well worth it. Ambiance was great for casual date night. Music was decent, got better as night time came around (played JT, earth wind & fire, MJ, etc)
Honey Harvest beer cocktail is great {hard cider and honey jack} and the fried green tomato flatbread is great. The waiting staff is hit or miss. Some a great while others are horrible.
Harlem AmbassadorJuly 9, 2014A laid back alternative to Harlem Tavern's madness. That Saturday DJ alone is worth visit. Sat open til 3. 12 Tv's and same basic menu and staff has time for a conversation. Never a wait for stalls.
Steven KirbySeptember 2, 2013Nice spot. Closer to home than Harlem Tavern which to me is still cooler than this Heights Tavern. The name doesn't really work like Harlem Tavern either. "TAVERN IN THE HEIGHTS!" Has a better allure!
Jennifer LawsonSeptember 22, 2013In due time it will have the same feel as Harlem Tavern during football season. Still a great bar with great food and good atmosphere. Great for the Heights!
jasmine jeffersonDecember 25, 2015Rum punch is pretty good; kind of taste like ease at first but sneaks up on you. Nice atmosphere and open space to dance
ᴡ MontillaFebruary 15, 2014There turkey burger was really good, the waiter was very nice, the music was good for me. Everyone was very accomodating to my party of 5 (3 adults and 2 babies ages 5mos-1yr old)- Sh AlMarch 8, 2014Love this place. I had the shepherd Pie twice . Delish. The staff is very nice and super helpful. The wait time was a lot less than we were told :)
Cocoa ThunderJuly 26, 2015The make your mac & cheese, the chicken skewers & the grilled asparagus oh & don't forget the banana sidecar #awesomesauce #greedyfaceclan approved
Linda DianneSeptember 2, 2013Front of house folks are a bit bitchy with whole 'wait for the whole party' thing. Have had it happen x2: once when friend was at bar ordering rounds for our table & other when friend was in bathroom
Its about time they decided to bring one to the heights. Its a very grown bar. Food, drinks and sports is all you need.
Happy hour specials, plenty of TVs for sports games, and the burger. Trivia on Tuesdays is fun, but very loud.
Ed PodojilOctober 10, 2014Trivia night on Tuesdays is a win win in wash heights. Great mix of locals and Columbia students
Will GossettApril 28, 2014Great, simple, flavorful dishes. Service was some of the best I've had in NYC.
Jason RudmanSeptember 15, 2013Really great staff - too many things "unavailable" on the menu at 8PM on a Saturday night though including frozen margarita mix!
The turkey burger is good, i dont always like the seating and how they dont make it easy , but stand your ground for a good table
Adrian LAugust 7, 2014Lively sports bar with outdoor street side seating. Stone's throw from NY Presbyterian
Perfect place to take family. Be mindful of major sports games it can get loud.
Rachel CNovember 25, 2013Food was hit or miss. Roast brick chicken was excellent but guac was topped w feta and pomegranate. Points for effort I guess. This is ideally a place for grabbing a beer.
Betsy GuzmanAugust 2, 2014Place is very nice. Host is very nice. Food is very good. Service could be better.
- Loving it here great menu.. great prices great food and service
Caesar salad is lacking; I think the lettuce used was iceberg & the anchovies were very weird. More like brined sardines. The pink sangria, however, was delicious, albeit overpriced at $11.
Jay GNovember 9, 2013Skirt steak flatbread is definitely worth a taste if you're into things other than burgers...
Ok, just order anything on the menu!! The food is great.
Ming MingOctober 22, 2013First time here, tried the chicken satay and catfish bits....failed. Chicken were too chewy and the satay sauce is too buttery.
- 30Jul14; 2pm: today's service was HORRIBLE. I work at CUMC & frequent HT 4-5x/mo. Waited 12min for server & water (in dirty glasses, btw). Ordered burger & fish sand; left 14min later w/ NO FOOD!
- Baileys Creme Bruleé was runny. Very runny, as if it was not allowed to set before torching. Thankfully, our server removed it from the bill. She know what time it is...
bedstuymommy =]October 14, 2014Food allergy sufferers beware! I asked for nachos w/o cheese & got this. SMDH
nicole bethellAugust 2, 2015The food is very good but the service is terrible. Every time I have gone it has not been good...takes forever to get another drink, or a refill on water.
