★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Really good vibe! They have a lot TVs for sports, a great beer selection and really good food. As you can tell from the picture, I didn’t even get a picture from before it smelled so good. The wings and fish and chips were good and they were playing great music. Good little bar to get a quick bar bite and some drinks in
August 18 · Nicholas HesterHorn’s Hook Tavern is always a good spot to grab a few beers and/or some good food- literally everything on the menu is excellent and the staff are always friendly. Whether you’re in the mood for a solid burger or something off their weekly special menu, you will not be disappointed. The fries are excellent as a snack. They may be on the pricey side, but it’s a small price to pay for comfort and a good time. You will never be hungry after eating at Horn’s Hook Tavern.Usually live music on Friday nights and they play the sound for NY sports games or college games when people are in to watch.
February 15 · M. ReidHighly recommend their burgers. I got the Smoking Musket this time. The patty was very juicy. It goes very well with the texture of thick bacon. Love it! The pizza Margherita was also pretty good. I love the thin crust and the slightly sour tomato sauce.
March 16 · Bradley CMy wife and I had an incredible time at Horn’s Hook Tavern last night, as the Chargers (yet again) embarrassed their fan base (of 1) in the WildCard Game. Ailey did an incredible job, and took incredible pride the food and beverage offerings at Horns Hook. WOW was she right- we started off with The Pulaski Sausage then grabbed some sliders (The Franklin was amazing, The Opener, and The Hale) then finished with a Brownie Sundae. Awesome cocktails, great vibe of locals to the UES, attentive staff, and wonderful food. We will be back soon.
January 12 · Mick BondeOur family went in at 1pm for the advertised lunch specials. The place was pretty empty with maybe 2 -3 other customers. They had no AC with only one small fan. When we ordered we were told that people under 21 are not allowed to consume the lunch special, because they could only served them at the bar and no one under 21 can sit at the bar. No where in the sign did it say that children (or anyone under 21 ) are not allowed to order a lunch special. Not only did they have faulty advertisement, but the waitress was incredibly rude about it - as if we are supposed to know this. We were recommended this place by regulars that live in the neighborhood.We’ll report back to them to never go again. The rudeness was unnecessary, the faulty advertisement should be addressed. Never again.
