I work in nyc restaurants and eat out a lot, and this was the worst service i’ve ever experienced in nyc. My two friends and I came for drinks on the rooftop on a saturday afternoon and waited 25 minutes for someone to clean a window table even though it wasn’t busy at all. Waited another 15 minutes to get menus and the waitress was rude… not worth the view.

This place is fun! Date night on Wednesday lead us here and we didn’t regret any second of it. 4 levels of a bar seating a rooftop with large TV screens and plenty of seating. Staff wasn’t the friendliest but the crowd and drinks made up for it. Mostly college and intern kids, fabulous looking plates smelling fresh and delicious(we didn’t get any, but everything looked great) and the drinks were nice and strong. Will definitely be back!

Came to Tonic East on a friend’s recommendation for brunch. It was 4 of us. We were seated immediately on the rooftop. Beautiful view! Our waitress was Krista. She was extremely helpful with a bubbly personality. She recommended the French toast & steak and eggs. DELICIOUS! Oh, and I can’t forget about the bottomless mimosas. All around great spot! Will definitely be coming back here again.

Haven’t been to tonic in a while, decided to drop by for happy hour and Jordan made us the BEST spicy margaritas. Fav bartender by far! Hilarious guy too. Will be coming back more this summer.

Nice roof top but can get crowded. Decent drinks and food. Had the appetizer party sampler. Would’ve thought it would have more of a selection. It’s hard to get someone’s attention to order when they’re so busy. Good prices for happy hour.

I forgot to post this back in April… I guess weeknights when the boss is there is different than no MANAGEMENT in the Day time. The worse disturbing service i have ever experienced in Tonic; sat on the rooftop for brunch on Sunday with a friend. asked for a drink 4 times; asked for hot sauce 3 times; asked for water 2 times – finally a bus boy brought us waters forget about the other things we asked for cause that wasn’t coming anytime this year… i really thought it was a tv prank or something… seriously at this point we just went to computer area and asked to close our check. WASTE of time and money. If you don’t want to serve our table just say you cant; dont sit us down and take our order and never come back.

The fucking jalapeño tequila… are you fucking kidding me. Talking about a blast of ass breath to the tonsils. Take that shit and lock it away forever. You’re gonna kill someone. I do love tequila. I do love jalapeño. I do not love whatever you did to my mouth.

It’s a super nice atmosphere. I sat on the heated rooftop with a few friends and we ordered from the happy hour menu which ended at 11pm on Tuesday. The margaritas were $ 6 and were pretty good. I got the«krack» wings which were supposed to be sweet and spicy but it really tasted like nothing to me. Nevertheless they were crispy and good to dip in blue cheese. I also got the tonic east melt which was great. To be honest my favorite part were the French fries. They were crispy and perfectly salted. Overall good vibes, good prices and okay food.

Not super crowded on a Saturday night, which is a huge plus. The beer selection is solid and the prices are fair for the neighborhood.

Great place! Came here for playoff hockey and while the game wasn’t fun to watch my experience at Tonic East was. They have a huge menu full of actually reasonably priced dishes! On top of some awesome happy hour deals. I sat on the first floor but there’s also a rooftop, tons of TV’s, and a huge bar. And the service was great! The manager checked us a few times and you could tell he cares a lot for his customers.

Great Penn State sports bar! I haven’t been here in the fall for the football games but I will def come check it out. Tons of TVs all around to watch different sports games. We got a beer tower to split between 5 people and it costs around $ 48. Not sure if they have specials but if you want to watch a sports game I recommend checking this place out!

Private party. Second floor all to ourselves. The space worked well for just the right amount of people to have a crowd but not overwhelm the place. Service was really impressive — for drinks it went well beyond just getting something as usual from an open bar. The food was not fancy in the least — some typical bar menu items on serving plates that came out on tables. Nothing passed around. Nice to be able to hover if you were hungry while the vultures made quick time of things. Overall a great experience. Not the largest selection of beers but at least one or two to keep things interesting for the night.

I have been coming to Tonic to watch sporting events for the past few years, but I never thought of it as a place to get brunch. I came across their menu and thought I’d give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised by my experience here for brunch. With a group of 8, we arrived around 230. We did not have to wait for a table and were able to sit on the heated rooftop. Our waitress was great! Super helpful and attentive. She made sure our glasses were full at all times. Like most places that do boozy brunch you can expect the crowd to be intoxicated. Especially later on in the afternoon. Since we expected that it didn’t ruin our experience at all. It was a fun afternoon and should be on everyones brunch list.

Came on a Sunday to watch the last half of the football game and wandered up to the second floor. They have a ton of TV’s all along the walls so you’re never without a view of the game. We ordered a round of Hoegaarden along with tater tots and mozzarella sticks. After we placed our order, the waitress comes back and informs us that after the football game, the second floor closes… It would’ve been nice to know that before we ordered food so we could move to the first floor. She was nice enough throughout the meal, but she did disappear towards the end when we wanted to pay our check. Might stick to the bar next time.

While it appears most everyone comes to Tonic to drink and hang out, we actually came to eat. The menu is primarily bar food, but really well executed: from my husband’s burger, to my daughter’s grilled chicken sandwich. I thought the Asian salad was one of the best I’ve had, loaded with grilled teriyaki chicken, a variety of greens, sprouts, oranges, etc, Even the salad dressing was good. Like most other midtown bars, Tonic offers happy hour deals including two-for-one appetizers, $ 5 wine, $ 5 mixed drinks, $ 4 beer. While the music was super loud — yes, I’m showing my advanced age! — I loved what they played, which at the time happened to be stuff I know the words to!

This place has half off appetizers from 10-closing! We had a group of 11 people and only ended up paying $ 35 for all of us. Awesome deals for a quick bite before you get your night started!

I walked into this place on a very cold afternoon to watch my Seahawks play. It was perfect weather to stay in, drink beers(I was sick so I couldn’t), eat tasty food(I did that), and enjoy my Seahawks fans. The atmosphere was nice, the people were cool, and a lot of people were there for the game. I saw platters coming with wings, nachos, large salads. I wasn’t too hungry so our group shared truffle tater tots which are tasty and some edaname. We had shots, drinks, and much more going on with out chants, loudness, 12MAN yells and screams. It was a great time with my people. If you are in the area, want to watch the game, or just have a great time come here. FYI: I was talking to some people in NJ last night and they said they LOVE this place to, so I felt like I picked a great place to watch the game. We will be back… Oh yeah and if you can head on up stairs and check out their views. Amazing!!! Little did I know I was here a few times, but I don’t remember.

Went there for game 2 of the NLDS. Where that moron Utley broke Tejada’s leg and caused us the game — but I digress! :-) The drinks were great, so was the service — but the food was really good. Especially for bar food, I really liked the loaded tater tots, and the hubby had an asian salad that he said was really good. The only thing that wasn’t so great was the cheescake, it had some sort of spongecake attached to the bottom. Definitely will skip next time. Can’t wait to go back.
