Dawney’s Bronx Reviews
Top notch pub! Great for gatherings. Very clean and cozy, with a very friendly and professional staff. Also, they have some of the best burgers in the Bronx! Highly recommend!
My favorite neighborhood bar!
I hosted a surprise birthday party for my sister here. Everything was great from the food to the staff. They were super helpful. I’d highly recommend hosting an event here.
Great burgers here. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Service was quick and on point. A solid bar with great food. Fair priced as well.
My husband and I enjoy dining at Downey’s Bar & Grill whenever we happen to be in the area and we decided to have my dad’s 95th birthday celebration there with a lunch that included many family and friends. The 3-hour event was such a wonderful success with the spacious event room that was made available to us to decorate as we pleased, combined with a variety of menu choices to select from, and a cash bar as per our preference. Our guests enjoyed the delicious food and variety very much, as per their feedback. The owner, Brian, was very pleasant, helpful, patient, and accommodating right from the start of our planning and ensured that our special table layout request was as we desired. Another asset was that Brian assigned a fantastic staff member, Jimmy, to assist with any and all of our requests as the party was going on. He was so professional, pleasant, and efficient and his involvement ensured that our event ran smoothly and without any hiccups. We highly recommend this venue for your party needs.
One of the best Burgers I've ever had..service from Casey, fantastic!! Lovely atmosphere...a place you can take family or a girls night out...
Great place great people. I attended a function for Disabled Veterans it was Great ! We had raffles,great food. And the Volunteers were the best they had speakers that spoke to us not at us. Usually people donate space for us to have things but ! You don't meet the owners not these guys they talked & had fun wit us like we were friends and not Like we were Disabled Veterans it was Great ! Not one question about why my leg had Scars on it from surgeries they didn't even see my legs and I had on Shorts . WOW great people. Oh boy They had a kid there serving by the name Of Conner this young man handled a room wit 30 grumpy, battle tested Marines,Army artillery,and special forces Wit ease 🫡He didn't break a sweat And knew the menu in his head and kept The orders straight 🤷🏾♂️could be my RTO Man any day. Thanks 4 the experience
Brian and Downeys were absolutely fantastic! They came to my rescue when I needed to find a place for my baby girl's 1st birthday party at the last minute. Not only that, but they accommodated every single request I had. Thanks to them, the birthday party was truly memorable, and now I can't wait to have my baby shower there as well!
I travel all the way from Queens to drink at Downey’s bar and grill because the experience in there phenomenal. The bartenders never make you wait the taps are clean and the burgers are out of this world. Check this place out.
Great neighborhood bar and restaurant with a large back room for special events. Food is delicious and large portions. Well stocked bar with a good selection of draft beers. Entertainment is great, especially on Saturdays with live music. No bar can be successful without a great staff and they definitely have that. Bartenders, barbacks, waiters, and of course the chef. They are all great. Pictures attached to this review are from the website. Was going to take my own but the place was full and didn't want to post pictures of people without permission.
What a magical night. We Danced, we ate, we had a great time. My friends daughter celebrated her 30th birthday there and the decorations were amazing the food was good and the drinks were free until 11pm. The staff was awesome my next event will be here.
Chef Bob in the kitchen and Chuck behind the bar. Batman & Robin weren't this dynamic duo! I almost don't want to review the place so that I can always find a seat. Overall a class operation with good people behind it. Try a Bravest burger & the Guinness is always good! 👍
My brothers and I hosted a luncheon for my parents at Downey's. We were so pleased with their attentiveness to our needs and how comfortable they made us all feel. The service at the event was excellent and everything we ordered for the buffet was perfect. I highly recommend Downey's as a place to host a family event.
Food was OK to good, beer was good atmosphere depends on what you like it was nice but dated
Food was delicious, service was awesome. At first we ordered 2 Long Island ice tea. It was the strangest tasting LIIT I ever had. It tasted like Scotch or some brown liquor was in it. I tried to put more Coke in to see if that would help but it didn't. Wound up ordering a martini. It was better, not by much though. I would absolutely go back. I've learned my lesson about what not to order
The drink service was a little slow and we were one of the first people there for Saturday brunch. The food was served in decent time although one person in our party didn't get his food on time. Party of less than 10. Will not be returning. Personal choice, not because the food or drink was bad.
This is the first time visiting this place. I haven't been here since it was Kelly Ryan's. We had our Holiday party here because of the location which was close to work. The happy hour specials were good, but I was never told what time it ended. Some of my drinks were half priced then without notice I was charged regular price at 5:30. The bartender must have been just learning how to make certain drinks because he wasn't familiar with making a coworker's bloody mary lol. We had appetizers such as nachos, which could have been better. Wasn't enough cheese on it and had dumps of chili dumped on top. The chicken wings, fries, and mozzarella sticks were fine. I hope their other food items taste better.
Ordered food for takeout but when arrived home the food was soggy. Not the best but decent meal. Chipotle burger was tasteless & onion rings not fully cooked. “Full-done” steak was still bit pink inside. Love the fact they had the Football game on.
