Amity Hall Uptown

Awesome staff, very friendly warm and welcoming… The food is exceptionally delicious, definitely would recommend this place to EVERYONE!

Amity Hall Uptown is a fantastic establishment with some of the friendliest staff I’ve ever encountered. The Amity Beer Club is a great value add for regulars and the food is great. Monday nights are wing night where you can probably find me being a glutinous, disgusting human at some corner of the bar covered in Sriracha sauce, picking chicken out of my beard and questioning life decisions. Highly recommend this fine operation to any and all who wish to fill their gullets with wonderful beer and delightful food.

Delightful beer and friendly service, cheese curds rule just like O’Doyle and his late family

Anyone who lives on or near the UWS should definitely make it a priority to check this place out. Stopped by following a meeting I had uptown, and have been telling everyone I know about it since. First off, the place is gorgeous, not your standard run of the mill sports bar by any stretch of the imagination. What I liked most though was that they seem to have something for everyone: impressive craft beer list, 10+ (maybe more) tv’s and a very solid food menu with tavern classics kicked up a notch. Insider tip– the Mac and cheese is worth the subway ride alone. Will definitely be back next time I’m in the neighborhood.

Try the water. Their water is delicious! I knew this place would be a winner when I looked inside and saw the large selection of water they had. It came out cold and in a glass container with no ice. Ice is optional. I took my first sip and it was then I knew that I had a new favorite spot in nyc :) definitely recommend coming in here and trying the water!

Came in after the gym with a few of my friends, we sat in a booth along a wall. We were intrigued by the extensive beer selection they offered, the server Jessica told us they had 32 beers on tap and 7 are rotating & 40 bottles-​wow! Manager Ana came by to check in on us which was great! Definitely felt taken care of, but when I asked about watching the UFC events I was told that they do not stream combat sports which was a bummer. Great sports bar would recommend to anyone. Really hope they start showing the Fights because I’d love to come back for all UFC events.

Amity Hall is a great place. Love the area; love the staff and the food is awesome… I have been there a couple of times and would really recommend the Steak Nachos and the South West Chicken bowl. The Damn Fries (yes I said damn) was mouthwatering; the wings was done just to my liking and the Truffle Fries was delicious. I also was greeted by two of the sweetest ladies to ever seat me. I gave this restaurant a 5 and would highly recommend that you stop by and have a seat and stuff your self with this great food they offer.

Amity Hall has a good selection of beer with a lot of options on tap. It’s a pretty large space. There are two bars on opposite sides and plenty of tables. There was a DJ in one corner. The stools at the bar have backs to them and are pretty comfy. There are also hooks underneath the bar. Some of the tables were labeled ‘Reserved.’ I didn’t even know you could make a reservation here.
It’s a great place to watch a game, any game. There are large televisions in every direction, each playing a different game. It’s pretty cool, but might be a little difficult to watch the same game with other people in your group.
I appreciate that there’s a security guard at the door who checks ID. The food is kind of hit-​or-​miss, as is the service. Most of the staff is very friendly though they seem a little understaffed sometimes.
$ 10 Grilled Jerk Wings:
We were curious to try a different kind of chicken wing. The grilled jerk flavor was spicy, kind of an herbaceous spice. It was pretty strong in taste and smell.
$ 10 Classic Buffalo Wings:
I still prefer a classic buffalo flavor. These chicken wings were pretty good. When I brought a wing up to my mouth, I definitely got a good whiff of vinegar. The flavor is very reminiscent of the Frank’s sauce that we all know and love.
$ 14 Amity Signature Burger — gruyère, bacon jam, crispy shallots, with fries:
The burger was not bad. It is better than most bar burgers. I liked the crispy shallots and that the cheese was melted over the patty. I couldn’t really taste much of the bacon jam, but it had a very subtle sweetness.
$ 14 Graduated Grilled Cheese — crispy pork belly, gouda, fontina, mozzarella, fig & red onion jam on sourdough pullman with tomato soup sidekick:
I liked the grilled cheese more than I expected to. There was plenty of cheese with a good amount of pork belly. The tomato soup was on the thick side, which acts as a nice dip for the sandwich.
We got our drinks within few minutes. The food took a little longer, the burger longest of all. Almost an hour went by, so I thought they forgot our burger order. We were about to pay the check when the burger finally arrived. I just had to laugh when it finally showed up, because it was so ridiculous.
Overall, it’s a good place to have a beer and some chicken wings. The sandwich options are a little pricey, but tasty enough if you are feeling hungry and aren’t in the mood to go somewhere else for a meal. Another plus? There’s a large communal sink outside of the bathrooms, so you don’t have to wait for the bathroom if you just want to wash your hands. I give it a 7/​10, pushing close to a ⁴⁄₅ for the size and cleanliness of the venue.

What a HUGE disappointment. My boyfriend and I booked a party for his birthday the weekend of Hurricane Jonas. We called two days before to cancel and reschedule and we were told there was no issue. We rescheduled for Feb 6^th at 9pm. We called the Thursday before and they told us we had no reservation – 2 days before the party with all our friends coming. So we were obviously upset but they told us they would be able to accommodate our party. We get to the bar on Saturday night and are shown our «reserved space” – aka two tiny 3 person tables for 20 people in a corner. Additional disappointment. We spoke with the manager who wasn’t very apologetic, but did offer to buy our first round which we appreciated. I’m happy our first round was covered because the drinks were horrible. When we originally made the reservation, we let them know that we had 3 friends who were 20 years old. The manager told us it would not be an issue and that they would mark their hands. Instead they turned our friends away. Two of our friends were able to get in after we bargained with the manager and let them know they were here for the party (also they were not drinking) then after an hour he came up to us and told them they had to leave. At that point we just took our whole party elsewhere. While I understand this is a rule (and I’m genuinely ok with it) the rule was not communicated to us until the night of. The entire night was a total disaster from to finish due to amity hall’s inability to communicate with their patrons and each other. Every manager we spoke with told us different rules and information. If you’re planning on hosting a large party, there are plenty of better places in the neighborhood. We were excited by the new bar opening and wanted to give it a chance but we will not be back.

This place would have been good if the waitress serving us didn’t have so much attitude and if the music wasn’t so loud that we could barely talk to each other and gave some of us a headache — this was at 4pm on a Saturday and a few of us asked waiters to turn the music down to no avail.

Visited at Super Bowl night and had a pretty bad experience. Let’s start with our conversation with the bouncer when my friend showed her ID (government issued).
Bouncer: I don’t like your ID. I need another one.
My friend: What? I used it to all other places and never had a problem.
B: No I don’t like it.
Friend: But I came here just now and you let me in with this ID!?!
B: I don’t care. I don’t like it.
Me: Is a passport okay? She lives one block away so we can get that.
B: Oh, really…
So rude! He thought we were lying and showed no respects! We could not get in just because HE DIDN’T LIKE IT??? We were pissed and almost turned to another bar. But we really wanted to try this place so we went back home to get the passport.
Finally we got in and had the Super Bowl menu, which included unlimited wings and beer. Wings seemed smaller than the regular order and tasted mediocre. Too much sauce and not heated through. Amity light was good. The menu was not worth $ 30 for some cold wings and beer at all. Service was poor. It was very hard to talk to the bartender.
Well I am giving this place 1 star because I don’t like it either :)

Hit or miss… Food is great. The wait staff has to really get with it. First visit was a week night, not very busy, the waitress was fast, attentive and great. Second visit, we left after 10 minutes. After the waitress with the blue hair walked by our table three times, we decided to leave. She then came over in a hurry, and we said forget it, we out! Just left after having a decent meal… One waitress took our order, another delivered it. Ok… No one came to get drink refills, or check if we needed anything. Had to get up and tell the three girls by the register that we were ready to go. A third waitress brought us our check. It’s just a few steps from my apt. but gonna have to reconsider going back. I’d rather walk farther for the service … Too many great choices to settle for mediocre service.

I have lived in this neighborhood for 20 years. I was going to this location when it was several bars before what it is now.
Tonight, after having dinner across the street with my girlfriend we decided to stop in to see a friend of ours that is now bartending there who we knew from a bar in Bayridge. I had my leftovers wrapped up in a bag, tight mind you, and the bouncer REFUSED to let me in because of my leftovers?!? We thought he was joking, but he was dead serious and let’s just say not such a friendly person. I was not planning to eat it or anything, just carry it so I didn’t have to run home.
In my entire life I have never heard of a restaurant/​bar refusing an after dinner crowd because they had leftovers in a sealed bag.
I am a neighborhood patron, run a hockey team for a bar around the corner. I will make sure all the people I know in the neighborhood do not set foot in this place.

The food here was amazing, great variety of beers and the service was excellent. My only complaint was that the music got a little too loud at times. Besides that everything else was on point.

Went there today on a whim, the drinks were great, the food was AMAZING, and the service was awesome! Definitely recommend this place for happy hour. They’ve got like 30 beers on tap!!!

Went here with co-​workers for a Friday night happy hour. The selection of beers and wines was impressive. I really enjoyed a few chocolate porters. I came later than most of my co-​workers, and they had mentioned that there was some confusion with the servers. When I got there, I couldn’t figure out who our server was.
I liked the environment, though. The place is huge with 2 bars, and really cool bathrooms.
It failed my «noise level test» though (where I hear a good song playing, try to use Shazaam and see if my phone will detect the song), which means it was fairly loud in there.

Woohoo! A new Amity Hall on the UWS! I remember this place from my NYU days in the village and it looks like they’ve followed me uptown. The space here is nicer in my opinion than the original, with the typical steam punky vibe of a craft beer bar. Bathrooms are unisex with communal sinks with I like believe it or not. The space is huge, probably more than twice the size of the bottom floor of the original with 2 bars. There were probably about 30 draft lines with multiple taps for each. All in all, they’re definitely designed the place well. Service seemed a bit lost, with our waitress disappearing for awhile and the manager stepping in to take our order. It took quite awhile to get my beer too, but it was freshly poured so they likely just forgot.
My biggest negative here is that the beer list wasn’t all that great – for a beer bar at least. A lot of accessible beers, along with 2 Finbacks and another local beer or 2, but very run-​of-​the-​mill stuff. That may sound picky but this is a beer bar and I’m a big beer aficionado (the evidence is on here). With West End Hall around the block, Amity Hall is going to have to step it up. It is cool they’re going to be doing a beer club program though, so there is definitely hope for the future. I got the Amity Hall Signature Burger, which has a 9oz patty topped with gruyère cheese, crispy shallots, and bacon jam on a pretzel bun. It was definitely a good burger but was a bit more well done than the medium rare I asked for. The bacon jam was strange to me but tasty. Next time I think I’ll try the Angry Burger (the name fits me). My girlfriend got the falafel burger, which I got a bite of and was good as well.
I’m actually moving around the block, so suffice to say I’ll be back here soon. These guys settled into the perfect location, they’re veteran restaurateurs, and the place has only been open a few weeks, so they’ll definitely get better. I’ll probably end up revising this rating in the next few months. You know, after I join their beer club.

This might be my new favorite spot to watch a game in Harlem! Recently remodeled from its days as the Pour House, this spot now hangs it’s hat on quality, versus quantity. New décor and furniture, 32 Craft beers on tap, diverse and tasty menu (great wings) and space without the warehouse feel. Above all, no bad seat… plenty of TVs to go around… if you are in the neighborhood, you will have to stop by and give it a look. This place is a solid 4, I only give 5’s for fine dining, but 4 is my equivalent for a good sports bar.

Let me start this review as I tell it with each step I take through the venue known as Amity Hall, first step greeted by a well dressed and kind bouncer, two steps letter see a well designed square bar infront of my eyes with other seating such as table tops with stools as well as booths set up strategically along the side, a rear bar is available as well. A few more steps in sat with a friend of mine and greeted by the bartender who I believe was named Marcus, he gave us a list of draft beers and cocktails, the draft selection was perfect not too many choices and not too little, it was the perfect selection for a little red riding hood trying to find the right beverage. Through out the night he was quick with the service and patient with every order. Now I didn’t try the food but the plates that passed my eyes did look scrumptious. There was a manager, possibly owner present, that made an effort to check in with each customer and try to better their already great dinning experience. After a couple beverages visited the very well kept facilities that have 3 closed off toilets that give you the privacy of a freshman college coed who’s roommate just left for a 3 hour lecture class… A shared sink to wash up afterwards. Can’t wait to go back and try some of the delicious tasties and other well made cocktails

Just checked this place out for the first time. They have a solid beer and drink menu with some riffs on classic cocktails like manhattans and old fashioneds.
Happy hour beers are $ 5. The TV’s look great if you are here for sports. It’s very nicely decorated with a lot of brick and wood.
My only complaint is that I hate the music. It is very top 40 and dance /​hip hop /​rap. It doesn’t match the vibe

Great atmosphere, pretty good food, and friendly service. Definitely a great addition to the neighborhood. The prices are reasonable too.
I would highly recommend the Mac and cheese, sweet potato fries (I think they put cinnamon on them — so good), and the buffalo wings. I enjoyed the Amity Wheat beer as well.
