The Allie Way Sports Bar

They kind of look like your neighborhood bar but we didn’t come by for drinks. We decided to try out their burgers via take out. The prices were decent considering the size of the burgers that we ordered. Two orders were basic cheeseburgers (angus burgers) and the other was the marinara burger. The burgers were cooked exact to our requests. Portion wise, they were pretty big so it was very filling. Flavor wise, I thought it was ok. The service was friendly and they were also good in informing us if delays with food orders because there were a lot of orders put in around the same time. Overall, a nice place to just hang for a bit with some nice folks to chat with.

Very Nice watering hole near HSS. Good bar food great service.

I’m a regular. All the staff are attentive and fun to talk to. It’s a neighborhood bar with the younger crowd of the area. They have pretty good burgers and wings. Trivia night on Tuesday evenings is always fun. Thursday evening karaōke is great as well.

very nice for proximity to the hospital. 10% discount is better than nothing.
their burgers. extremely underrated, extremely satisfying. A+.
small selection of beers on tap (usually always have Bud Light, Guinness, Angry Orchard, Delirium, and a few other domestic ones, and have a rotating set, either domestic, local, or import, and also a surprisingly large quantity of bottled beers.
food other than burgers are average, but certainly better than that of Murphy’s Law, the bar next door. Murphy’s might be bigger and may have more TVs, but its not as homey as Allie Way. definitely would recommend.

Was here last night and they were filming an episode of Barmageddon. Small cozy place where the bartenders all seem very friendly. Good cheap drinks! I had a $ 3 bud light which is sort of unheard of in manhattan! They were also giving out free shots because of the show.
Would definitely like to go back there when there is no film crew and see what it’s like!

Went for my first time last night with a big group of friends. Have yet to visit a bar quite like this one– it has several TVs on each wall so regardless of seating, you won’t miss the game– great drink specials and solid food menu.
Unlike other bars in the city, you can have a conversation without shouting at the person you are there with. It is tiny but it has a cozy feel and you don’t have to worry about being pushed around by it being overly packed.
A very comfortable spot to go have a beer and wings and watch a game

The Allie way is a chill, cozy, local joint with good bar food, friendly staff and a customer base of familiar faces. I wouldn’t travel for the Allie way, but if you’re in the area it’s a great spot to grab a beer and kick it.

«Who says that it is a bad idea to have drinks during your lunch break»
This is a pretty simple sports bar in the part of the UES where people dont really visit. So, it is pretty quiet (at least in the afternoon). To be perfectly honest, I only come here because my job is around the corner (sometimes I want a liquid lunch) but I would not venture to the UES just to have a beer or five here.
However, the bartenders are pretty cool, the bar has a few decent beers, and many random varieties of Absolut bMost of the clientele are people who live in the vicinity and/​or associated with Cornell or Sloan Kettering. They have lunch specials, which are 3 different stews. However, I cannot speak about the food here.
The space is small but it has a cozy old school type of feel to it. Plus, there usually is some sort sport on TV.

This place is amazing. The food is great and reasonably priced. The wings are some of the best that I’ve had. The selection of beer is great and the beer on tap is cold and fresh. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. There’s free wifi and the feel of the bar is warm and cozy. If you’re anywhere near the upper east side this is the place to go.

My new favorite neighborhood sports bar. $ 15 for a pitcher of beer and a plate of wings, I don’t think a place could get cheaper than that. Other than that, each day they have drink specials. Although the food is just sub-​par the cozy cabin like environment and the multiple TVs make this a great neighborhood joint.

Just stopped in for a beer after a meeting nearby. Beautiful small place with a great bar, terrific staff and great vibe. We didn’t eat but the food looked good and the people nearby who were eating it said it’s great!

Ein absolut gemütlicher Pub. Nicht gross, wenige Sitzmöglichkeiten. Die Bedienungen sind extrem freundlich. Es gibt verschiedene Biersorten sowohl geszapft als auch aus Flaschen. Zu empfehlen ist hier da Brooklyn Lager. Nachmittags ist Happy Hour. Die Biere sind einen Dollar günstiger. Softdrinks kosten einen Dollar mit Free Refil.
Auf sechs Fernsehern werden verschiedene Sportarten gezeigt. Als ich nachmittags dort war wurde auch Champions League gezeigt. Die Bedienung hat sogar die Spiele mit deutscher Beteiligung angemacht.
Diese Sportsbar ist absolut zu empfehlen!

A fun place to hang out, grab a drink, watch a game… A big hospital crowd but very convenient if u live in the area.

I have to agree with the other reviewers who’ve pointed out that the employees here are friendly. Dan and the other girl (She’s very nice and I just forgot her name!) are great. The bar’s patronage mostly comprises of graduate and medical students of Weill Cornell (read young professional school crowd). The food here can be between below average (their nachos) to very good (chicken sandwich).
In terms of the beer selection, Allie Way can never compete with the likes of Pony Bar just 5 blocks away but the environment of the bar makes up for anything it lacks. They used to have the ‘Tripel Horse’ on tap (River Horse brewery) which was one of the reasons I loved going here. Unfortunately, that was replaced with a cider and some other generic stuff (I’m being nit picky now!) and I’m waiting for it to come back.
I also love any bar that tries to show European soccer. This place is good to catch the late afternoon mid-​week Champions League games and reruns of the EPL in the evenings. Good place for American Football and Baseball as well. As mentioned elsewhere it is the ASU bar in the area which might be of some appeal to the sun devils.
Another point to mention is the Trivia night Tuesday evenings and Karaōke night one of the other evenings. Both often pull in decent crowds if you care for these kinds of events!
All in all, Allie Way is a nice little neighborhood joint with a fairly cozy atmosphere, standard array of beers on tap, sports and friendly bar tenders!
I really wish the Beer was a dollar or two cheaper. If it were I would have given this place 4 stars!

Nice bar. Stopped for lunch while visiting hospital. Basic lunch with pork chop and rice and beans for 3 was under $ 20. Even with a shared appetizer and 4 beers bill was only $ 45.

I’ve been to my share of sports bars. The sports team décor, the touch screen games, and the Guinness on draft are necessities that every sports bar, including this one has.
However, I have never been to a sports bar that has employees that are even nearly as friendly as this place. Most sports bars I have frequented are just okay with hiring well-​endowed woman who will politely pander to your conversation, and basically touch the surface of any meaningful one. However, this place is full of employees, and regulars, who are more than willing to make you feel as if they have not only known you for quite some time, but that its okay to be drinking at 1:00pm on a Saturday.
If you are looking for a guy’s (or girls) night out with your 4 – 5 friends, want to catch a game, and don’t mind being in a slightly cramped environment, this place is where you should go. As long as one or two of them are good at «crowd controlling» your small group, you will all have a great time.
However, if you have more than 5 people, and you everyone else expects to get inebriated to whole other level, you should probably save yourself the trouble, and go to a bigger venue where you have a lower probability of bothering anybody else.
Overall, I dig this place, and I can definitely see myself coming back sometime again.

The Allie Way is a great local spot, and nearly everyone who hangs out there is a regular. On weeknights you can see people playing beer pong and building towers out of coasters. The bartenders are solid and friendly.
It’s just a tiny little place with maybe 15 barstools and a few high tops where you can get standard drinks and the usual suspects of bar food — wings, cheese sticks, chicken strips, etc. They have tons of TVs and will turn on any game you want. On a Saturday afternoon I had no trouble finding a barstool and getting the University of Texas game turned on.
Free wifi, and you can often find people working away on their laptops over a beer during the day.

Needed a place with football on the UES near Hunter College on a Sunday. Seemed to be full of Giants fans and would be a 4 star if I was a Giant’s fan but probably won’t go back. Good specials that we took advantage of with the wings and beer for $ 15. I’m from upstate NY and know good wings. These were pretty good quality with a good flavor.
Check in through Unilocal for a deal also! Good steady service and they set up beer pong in the back which I would have enjoyed if we had more time to hang out.

Came here to watch some football games on Sunday and was pleasantly surprised. They have some great Sunday football food and drink specials. The best deal is a dozen wings and a pitcher of beer for $ 15. I also used their $ 5 for $ 10 Unilocal deal, so the food and drink was pretty cheap.
It is not very large, so don’t bring a big group here, but it would be great for a group of 2 – 4 to watch some games. They have directv, so they had around 4 different games playing on their 6 (i think) screens.
It is pretty far east, so I don’t think it gets too busy since it’s not very centrally located.

A great bar to catch any game on TV. Great drink and menu specials as well as an amazing chef who can make great wings and TexMex!

Clutch spot for watching games with cheap beers and significantly better than average bar food. The wings were tender with a bit of heat and a zip of citrus for a twist… quite good. Super friendly wait staff. Just wished they had turned down the volume on the primary game as it was difficult to hear your own conversations. Will come back for trivia and the specialty Spanish food during the week.
