Knickerbocker Bar & Grill manages to mix a relaxed atmosphere with elevated classic American food that ranges from oysters to shell steak to St. Louis-style ribs and entirely housemade desserts. Read more

My favorite steak place in the city! The T-bone is amazing, the burger is good, and lamb chops are delish if they're on the menu. Also: The dirty martinis are strong but smooth! Yummmm.

Nice atmosphere. Music was great. There are some good seats close to the piano. The wait staff was very helpful with recommendations. The gin and tonic was excellent, a little on the stiff side.

My favorite neighborhood joint. Go for brunch and relish in their homemade muffins. Come in the evening and order the ribs, steak, scallops, specials...! All good and rarely disappointed.

the crab cake app was my favorite. we shared the tbone (meh) and the choc souffle, which was great. a bit heavy for lunch for service was great so we'd go back!

BF loved their flat iron steak that went great with the Irony pinot noir as well as asparagus and chimichurri. Giannone roasted chicken overmarinated but creamed spinach and pea mash saved it.

The specialty is the T-Bone, but you can order it as a Porterhouse for a little more filet mignon. Don't forget the skinny fried onion rings. Best steaks in NY and cool jazz performers Fri & Sat nite.

Not as stuffy or expensive as other steakhouses in the city, but just as delicious. Get the T-bone with sides of mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. Save room for their famous cheese cake.

Old New York flavor is sealed by specialties such as steaks, daily oysters, smoked salmon, pre-brunch homemade mini-muffins. Choose wine from a long list. Soak up the vintage photos + posters.

Get the French onion soup, the lamb tenderloin flatbread, the blistered peppers, the salmon or tuna entrees, any of the steaks, the creamed spinach, and definitely the chocolate soufflé!

Old school neighborhood restaurant that probably hasn’t been updated since 1985. Great atmosphere, solid food, attentive wait staff, a New York institution.
ThreedukesDecember 11, 2016
Do not go on a Friday or Saturday night; staff & kitchen don't know how to handle the crowds. That said, one of the best steaks in New York.

The Knick has THE best Beet Salad I've ever tasted... and I order it in every restaurant I go to. Such a good restaurant to have in the neighborhood, always busy.
Maurisse JohnsonSeptember 4, 2013
Nice atmosphere in a great neighborhood. I had the steak salad which is a very worthy contender for lunch of the year.
Günter OmerDecember 26, 2013
This place is great, perfect food for reasonable prices, nice ambiente and personal, try the famous T-Bone, amazing!

Cherrystones, caesar salad, sauvignon blanc and the Mets at the bar. Neighborhood comfort.

Great everything. Love the caviar pie, live music, and the late night bar crowd.

Still a classic neighborhood joint with a top notch steak and friendliest service.

Fantastic t bone best in the city
Brad KleinNovember 17, 2021
Wasn't really what we were looking for - more "grill" (restaurant) than bar. Martini was ok, draft list left something to be desired. Cornbread was good! Short rib that tablemates got looked good.
Ivan Ortiz-DiazSeptember 21, 2013
The food was great! Big portion of great tasting food that's fresh and well worth it.
John FJuly 20, 2014
A gem. A slice of neighborhood old-school Greenwich Village, slightly refined. Friendly.
Jamyn EdisFebruary 2, 2019
Seared tuna, onion soup, steak, brunch, cocktails at bar.
Bebo GonzálezMay 8, 2012
A nice, live Jazz old school place. Good food and selection of beers. Most Important… The Live Music.

I love this place. Everything is delicious. The T-bone is excellent. See if they can substitute a porterhouse.
Sara C.October 9, 2013
the chocolate soufflé cake for two is delicious - could be good for one or for three.
Daniel BarnettDecember 8, 2014
Used to sit in the bar section all the time before my father and I got ripped off by whoever decided that a steak for two was half size and fought us over it. It lost its cool at some point.
Ms HeleneApril 12, 2015
Late night jazz and old world NYC feel. Only had drinks at bar.
Najeed KhanMay 12, 2013
Endearing regular Jay was a great conversationalist. The steak was also great!
Yusuke NagataApril 30, 2018
so nice! we must eat t-born here!
Lwra FlNovember 27, 2013
Try the T-Bone steak! It is the best steak I've eaten so far.
Nicole MartinNovember 7, 2010
A little pricey but worth it. Best burger I've had in a long time. Watch out for the music charge on Friday and Saturday nights.
Natalie AnilloApril 6, 2015
$3.50 charge per person after 9:45 on Friday and Saturday nights because of the music

Steak and old school New York atmosphere

Has the best st. Louis ribs in the area. Easy to get a table and has interesting characters at the bar most nights.
Shirley AuMarch 3, 2010
Has an old New York vibe. Usually packed with locals but you can always get a table. Get the T-bone steak for one and share it.

Charming. Great t bone steak. Terrific character. Great staff.

Perennial Village favorite. Old school. Old timers.

Steak for 2, burrata, chocolate soufflé

Would advise against the Porterhouse for two but NY Strip is good. Burger makes for an excellent appetizer to share. - BurgerConquest.com

Pasta primavera is good, but skimpy and oversauced. C'mon Knick.
Jack PowersDecember 13, 2009
Get the Caviar Pie (off the dinner menu) and a glass of Scharfenberger chanpagne. Tell the rest of the world to bite it.
Ben BlakesleyApril 30, 2019
The T-Bone...WOW!!

Sit in the bar area and you have two menus to choose from.
