The District Bar & Restaurant New York Reviews
Great atmosphere, delicious food, affordable prices. We very much enjoyed it and went twice during our stay in the UES. Highly recommend!
The District was cozy and festive with a warm and friendly atmosphere. Our server was friendly and helpful, with the best smile in NYC! I recommend this nook highly!
Place is always great - we visit it every time we come down to the city to visit our friend Rob. The staff and food are awesome. The bartenders are all great - special shout out to Carla.
The District, located on the UES of Manhattan on 3rd Avenue, is such a great spot!! :-) I visited for the first time this weekend and I had the best experience!! Dara, Nick & the team at The District are so wonderful - my friends & I were so well taken care of during our visit!! In terms of food cocktails, they make an excellent spicy margarita, and their appetizers are delicious. I highly recommend their Homemade Mozzarella Sticks! Lastly, The District has such a lovely atmosphere - it's so warm + cozy inside. 10/10 - I highly recommend this place!!
Very warm staff (even more so the manager Razz, not sure if I spelled it correctly), pleasant and fast service, and amazing food -- we started with guac-and-chips, then the pan-seared salmon and steak with salad, and cheesecake and tiramisu after -- which came in generous servings, too. The indoor dining area is well-laid out and perfectly lit (and dimmed just right in the late hours), the outdoor booths as well, and the bar is just as welcoming. Can't wait to visit again!
I have been to this place before but never reviewed it, it’s one of the rare cases where a restaurant gets better on your second visit. The place is as well located and nicely decorated as before but now the service has improved markedly (even though everything from hosting to taking orders seem to be made only by one gentleman with black hair who always have a smile) and the food now really is memorable, which wasn’t the case on my last visit. By all means try the salmon. I returned three days later and the host/waiter not only remembered me but also was as attentive as the previous time, this time I had the NY steak that while not being medium cooked as I ordered was perfectly seasoned. After that I stayed at the bar and the bartender was efficient and friendly.
Stopped by for dinner and had a pleasant time! We were seated very quickly and just made it just in time for happy hour. The inside has a cozy vibe but it doesn’t feel all all cramped. We tried the frozen drinks and ended up getting their Mac and cheese to share, as well as the chicken parm sandwich and veggie burger. Food wasn’t anything crazy but was totally fine. Only wishing the Mac and cheese had a little more oomph (maybe more breadcrumbs)? Nice spot to stop by if you live near by and are looking for American bar type food. Pros: -Seated quickly on a weekday night and pretty fast service -Friendly staff -Indoor and outdoor seating available -Tables spaced out well and have dividers between them Cons: -Nothing comes to mind
Enjoyed it. I had fish and chips, they were almost as good as what I used to have in England. Not to greasy. I also had the Coney Island Pilzner, it was ok. My wife had a cheeseburger and really liked it. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is the seating was cramped and uncomfortable and the server kept forgetting things, like my beer and bringing us our check.
Brought friends from out of town here based on past experiences. We’ve eaten here multiple times and typically the service is good and the food is great. That was not the experience today. 4 out of the 4 entrees were wrong including the Cuban and a side salad (pic below) that took literally 45 minutes to get to the table. Very disappointing experience.
Good beer and happy hour (drinks). Good salads and burgers and tacos. Cobb salad is good. But nachos queso fundido is just nachos, beware, not a queso fundido that you’d have at a Mexican restaurant. The tres leches cake for dessert is mostly frosting and two thin layers of barely milky cake, a miss. Thanksgiving pre-fix is awesome!
I came here because someone recommended their fish and chips to me. They also said they have great drinks. I ordered a juniper breeze to start with. The drink was okay. Nothing bad about, but nothing great about it, either. I also ordered a French onion soup. I knew I shouldn’t have, but I was famished. The soup was not hot enough. The cheese on the top did melt, but the soup was just warm. It was nice that it came with 3 slices of baguette, however, they were dry and tasted like ages old freezer. Even dipped in the onion soup couldn’t cover the disgusting taste. And lastly, of course I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was jiggly even when it was battered and deep fried. It was soggy. One piece was lukewarm in the middle. And the other pieces were fishy, but cooked through. It was bad. The fries were nice though. I wish they put as much thought in the decoration as they could into the food they were serving. Very disappointed. Service was okay though.
Wow, what a terrible experience, service was really bad. Took over an hour to get my food on a Tuesday night… Food was bad service was even worse. They give you an attitude like it’s your fault that they can’t do their jobs . overpriced for what you get, don’t waste your time or money.
The service here was absolutely awful. Our food took forever to come out, when it did it was mediocre tasting. Burger was underwhelming, pesto sandwich was on white bread not Texas toast 🤣.. the best part is they add the tip for you. So even though the service and food was eh at best your tip won’t reflect that. 🫶🏼
Beware of being overcharged. I came here with a friend after a night session at 5 Iron Golf. We each had 2 beers. The total was ~$30. I tipped $6 for a total of $36. A few days later I noticed a credit card charge for $50. I called the bar and spoke to Jared, who apologized and told me he would refund me, even going so far as to say he would refund the cost of one of the beers for the hassle. A week went by, no refund. I called again. Same run around - Jared apologized and said the refund was on the way. This happened for another 2 weeks in a row. Finally I went to the bar and demanded a refund for the overcharge, which was given to me by a host after explaining the situation. Being told that I'd be getting a refund for 3 weeks straight is unacceptable, and I don't think I would have gotten my money back had I not gone in person.
