Great spot. Excellent vibes. Delicious wings!!
Great experience. Good was excellent, and staff was very friendly. Definitely recommend
This bar restaurant has a hot wing challenge and as a fan of spicy food it's definitely a challenge.
We were recently in NYC visiting family but needed a spot to watch the Dallas Mavericks playoff games because we all grew up down there. The people here made sure we were comfortable and took care of us even though everyone else watching watching Rangers hockey. The food and drinks are good but the hospitality was awesome!
This place is a hidden UES gem! Anna is super friendly and has exceptional service :)
I've been a regular here for a year now. It's a great bar in my neighborhood; quiet and relaxed in the afternoon (with great happy hour deals) and energetic and happening in the evenings! The food is great (the house burger's my fav!). The weekend menu is great as well! (Free cocktail with the brunch deal!). A special mention for my favorite bartender here - Diana!! She's all energy and a perfect hostess with all the patience in the world to deal with difficult customers! In short she's great! I'm a regular and will be for a long long time to come in sure!! Cheers!!
Awesome spot!! Super fun staff and lively crowd for all sports events!!!
Definitely the best wings in UES. Great service. Ask for Bella. She is attentive and efficient. Mr. Meller himself is always around and will pitch in on busy nights.
great vibes, great staff, great food, and so nice to finally have more late night food options on the UES! there’s 20 new giant tvs to watch any game imaginable with game sound for the big games! i don’t eat meat so it’s awesome they have plenty of vegetarian options as well! the mushroom truffle flatbread is to die for and my friends raved about the chicken tenders & wings!
Looking for a local sports bar in the upper east side?? Well you just found one. Killer wings, good vibes, affordable prices, you can’t go wrong going to Mellers. Brunch menu is such a good deal as well, 18.95 with a brunch cocktail of your choice. The breakfast burger was delicious 🤤 & definitely try the Thai chili wings with truffle fries.
I have been a pretty consistent customer in this establishment for the past five months, and I can't say I have experienced anything close to what the negative reviews allude to. All the bartenders, particularly Hailey and Jason, are extremely personable and follow the golden rule of service, so I am always taken care of. The food is quite good for a sports bar, particularly their wings, burgers, and philly. You can watch virtually any game you want, just ask the very friendly owners Rob and Anna to pop it on one of the forty two thousand flat screens in there.
I Randomly walked into this spot to have a few drinks with friends and I was blown away, the service here was top tier, our bartender Bella was down to earth and chill but also attentive and on her A game with everyone at the bar. The food was also stand out , the Billionaires Bacon, Garlic Parmesan fries and fried pickle chips were delicious and Bella made sure we didn't wait an absurd amount of time for the food. I think it came out less then 10 minutes after ordering. All in all Meller's is the vibe you're looking for if you want a chill weekend out. I'm definitely coming back with friends again.
Fantastic chill sports bar with good brunch, and plenty of games showing at the same time. Great atmosphere but still able to hear each other to discuss the game. Hailey behind the bar kept the place going splendidly.
Love this bar!!! Bartenders are always very attentive, food is phenomenal ( especially for a sports bar) Loved truffle flatbread and shrimp scampi. This is definitely the place to get a few Aperol Spritz and frozen Pina Coladas. PRO TIP ask a bartender for some board games , they have so many!!!
Great sports bar with maaaaany TVs good vibes
My go-to Spot whenever I visit Upper East Side! Beers are ice cold, and the wings are a must get. My favorite in the city. Staff is super friendly and I’m always excited to come here!
We had a great time here. Perfect late evening spot to grab some drinks. The owners are wonderful, the place is clean and comfortable- absolutely will be back.
We went to Meller’s for brunch and had an amazing meal that came with complimentary drink. They have very good options for brunch - shakshuka, french toast , omelets etc. Everything that we ordered tasted delicious. Our server was very nice and service was quick. Highly recommend trying this place!
Food and drinks are always good, bartenders and waiters/waitresses are always are nice, also great spot to watch the game!
Great bar to watch a game and do trivia! Service is great and drinks are reasonable.
Great vibes. Servers got our hockey game on with no issue. Love the mystery beers
This is me and my boyfriends FAVORITE neighborhood sports bar! The bartenders and servers are all great! The food is great! Their wings are so good and they have a great beer selection. They have so many TVs and play all the games and fights. Big PPV fights are even purchased here to watch and almost all the UFC fights. This is me and my boyfriends GO-TO bar for baseball games, boxing and UFC fights, college and NFL football. It’s just all around great chill atmosphere, neighborhood bar vibe, great food and drink selection and beer! It’s a huge perk they have Guinness on tap.
Great local spot on the upper east side for food, great drinks and a great community! Definitely recommend checking out this spot if you are in the area.
Update 11/4/22: 4 stars to 5 stars!! Craving wings again one month later.. and they can do naked wings with sauce on the side!!! Last 2 pictures are from the recent order, wings and onion rings Original:9/25/22 Was in the mood for wings and mellers popped up via uber eats and i thought i give them a try The wings itself were really good but the buffalo sauce was slightly salty Idk if they do naked wings but i think naked wings with a buffalo dip wouldve been better for me. Chicken caesar wrap was good too!
Excellent place. The buffalo wings were spectacular, the variety of beers was really good, and it’s also a great spot to watch live sports events. I’ll definitely be back.
20 Stars! Came here after a long week at my stupid job just to chill, work on my online business and relax. The metal music was on point, and Jason the bartender was super cool — he went above and beyond to customize my drink exactly how I wanted it. Free Wi-Fi, great vibes, killer music. I'm 100% coming back to work, relax, and vibe out. They have big screens playin sports in case you are a fan or Basketball, Bakeball, , sccer, any sports, etc. 20 tvs. Great wings also.

12-7 happy hour with a great bartender ~ wings looked amazing (we didn’t have any)

This bar never misses. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and on point. A fun and relaxed atmosphere for drinks and a quick meal. Definitely a go-to spot.
Epic spot to play pool, good food and amazing staff! Love this spot. Most welcoming spot in the UES.
Great spot to grab drinks, bar food, and shoot some pool. The staff is great and friendly.
Great wings. Now they have a pool table and dart board. Over 30 tvs. All sports available. My favorite place to hang. Highly recommend!
Always a very welcoming environment; staff are hospitable, attentive and make you feel like you’re right at home- great vibes here! Watched my first knicks game here! Woohoo, thanks for that experience! Bonus stars for my pup, Bunny always being welcomed here too. The food is delicious, drinks are great, entertainment is offered (pool, darts, etc.) perfect for lunch, a night out, casual hang, or just to stop by and say hi to everyone! Also, great music 🤙 I’ve heard this place is also the go to spot for trivia lovers. Not my cup of tea, but my friends love it! Thank you team at Mellers!
TOP SPOT! Absolutely LOVED Mellers. We came to watched a Premier league game and had a fantastic time. The staff, the drinks, and the food are all fantastic! Highly recommended the calamari and the bloody Mary's 👌 thank you Mellers, you made our Sunday! We will be back!
Single handedly the best chicken tenders around. A great bar to catch any and all sports games with a fun and lively atmosphere. Owner is very kind and friendly. Staff is attentive and the drinks served are always cold. Can stop in anytime and it is a great hang!
Best pool table and darts. Best wings and burgers. My boys come here often to watch sports. Totally recommend. Amazing sports bar and music.
If you’re in search of a nice bar in the UES this is an amazing place! Food was delicious. Great vibe, fantastic service. Special shoutout to Rob for the great service!
Love this local place. good food and drinks. We come here to always catch a game. Had a blast here during the 2024 mets playoff run. If your a sports fan and want a place to hang out this it.
Neighborhood gem. There is something going on every night of the week- trivia, taco Tuesdays, 75 cent wings on Weds, and there’s always good music with a juke box and a pool table. Can’t go wrong. The staff make you feel like you’re at home and the vibes are always good. Anna and Rob aren’t too bad either, I applaud the way they run the place.

Great vibes for a sports bar. Friendly and attentive bartenders and staff. Food was a little disappointing.
Ordered a couple cocktails - a little too sweet. The chili martini was okay (too sweet). Would definitely just stick to the canned drinks or draft beers next time. Lots of TVs - would come back to watch sports.

Wing review: good meat, lacking on sauce amount and also flavor for their buffalo.
This is such a great concept yet lately they are missing the mark. This is not a bar for people in their 20s. Stop playing music crazy loud we can’t hear people talk. I love to come for games it’s the best sports bar there is but why do you then switch to really loud club-like atmosphere after? It empties out so fast after
The wings were good, however I don’t like how the sign outside says 75¢ wings and yet you need to buy two drinks to get the deal. I didn’t come to drink much. It’s like this is a comedy club with those drink minimums? If you’re gonna have a two drink minimum then put it on the sign. Also, even if you get 15-20 wings, you can only get one sauce with is petty. I got a frozen drink and it wasn’t well blended, drink not worth $22 after tax and tip.
Refused to let me sit until the entire party of 4 arrived despite 7 different tables being open. Once seated the first thing that was said was there is a minimum spend, you can’t just sit here with one beer all game, which was never our intention. Slow service, beer served in plastic glasses. First round of beer wasn’t nice so we changed to Stella Artois draft for $10 which came in a 33cl glass. Staff were cold, not welcoming or accommodating throughout. Good array of screens to watch a game.
We were excited to try this place, but unfortunately our experience was overshadowed by a serious cleanliness issue. Partway through our meal, a mouse started running around right by our table, even going under our legs. When we mentioned it to the waitress, her advice was to “keep flashing your flashlight” to keep it away. The mouse kept running around us, and when the owner/manager(?) came over, he just shrugged and offered no real solution or apology. It really ruined the atmosphere and made us uncomfortable finishing our meal. Disappointing that they didn’t take it more seriously.

The owner has an attitude and a discriminatory behavior against me and my friend who were only trying to enjoy our weekend in nyc and play some pool. Says there is a drink minimum just to use to use the pool table and the table is horrible and unplayable.
