This is a simple and cozy pub. It was pretty quiet when we arrived on Thursday afternoon. They have a generous happy hour deal on draft beers - $3 off. The IPA I had was delicious. The nachos were very good. It seemed that the staff was familiar with a lot of the patrons. The food looked and smelled very appetizing. They have a lot of TVs around. I would definitely come back here.

Ive been living in this neighborhood and was a fan of this bar for 7 years. I would usually visit 2-3 times per week. It was a relaxed, friendly atmosphere among customers, really good food, great drinks, best bartenders, no frills hangout. Not anymore. The new owners removed some items from the menu and the remaining items are mostly overly fried, greasy and nasty when served. The bartenders pour the weakest drinks and are not capable of efficiently handling the customers. No one cares about trivia night, immature games, or loud BS that interfere with neighborhood people gathering to have a good time so please stop implementing this childish nonsense. Its not a frat house. Actually, its turning into one now. In the summer, there is no air conditioning and they dont have fans or open the windows. These owners need a reality check..stop trying to fluff the place up. It worked wonderfully before so if its not broke, dont fix it. Youve already failed miserably

The Bravest is a bar, and non - gastronomic pub restaurant dedicated to those that serve as NY Fire Department, and other public service jobs. It seems to have a familiar staff that knows its customers. We went on Won Ton Wednesday by chance to enjoy a $5 bowl of soup (which was actually $7 for won ton shrimp - price needs to be updated from the sign outside), and service was friendly, quick, and kind, despite our very small order. The atmosphere was nice with large TVs broadcasting sports shows. I would recommend. $$ out of $$$$$

We had a great time with our friends celebrating birthday. The atmosphere felt great and chill where you can enjoy conversation with friends, even other customers, and the bartenders. A big shout out to (James) the bartender for awesome service. The food was fresh and crispy. The only drawback is the bathroom’s size which is very small to fit a person and keep the door closed.

I liked this place and will come back for sure, even though food took a while to arrive. The fried cauliflower was delicious but my rice bowl, not so much... i will come back to try others things though. The burgers my friends had looked great. Perhaps I chose the wrong thing on the menu. Friendly staff!

After a long work week, my coworker & I decided to come here for drinks and light bites. Ive been here over a dozen times and always had a good experience except for last night. Our waitress Mia wasnt welcoming at all, had an objection to almost everything that I requested, didnt give us any napkins or utensils with our food, and charged both of our cards for the tip when only my friend paid the tip. The whole experience was uncomfortable and frustrating. Im never going back and its due to her (Mias) service alone unfortunately. (FYI, in the details it says that happy hour is all day however it ends at 7 p.m.)

I have come here before to meet a friend in the city for a drink, and recently had a full meal with my long term partner.We stayed for a while as we had just finished a long day. The labatt canadian pilsener was wonderful. The food is fancier than expected, always with an interesting twist whether the breading on the chicken or the type of sauce. Outdoor seating is nice. Make sure to grab some napkins inside before diving in.

Awesome place with a great selection of brews on tap in cans. Super force fly staff who are always willing to recommend a new beer or a beer that follows your initial order perfectly. Awesome location that’s super cool and a great place to grab a drink and a snack.

Ive been meaning to come here for its famous burgers and sandwiches, until I finally was bale to come after a long night out. The space is really cute, like an old-fashioned sports dive bar that is well kept, cleaned & put together. With tons of TV with all the sports you may be interested in. Music is not too loud & good service. The digital menu did not have all the burger choices, but the waiter provided us with the standard menu, which did have 4 or 5 options. The burgers were really good. Meat felt like needed some seasoning, but the overall bite was full in flavor. Also had the boneless chicken wings, BBQ, so yummy and crunchy. The waiter was very helpful with choosing a beer and nailed it. Def would like to come here for another hangover 🙃. And Def recommended whatever ypu live in the area or not. Cheers to the bravest.

A local pointed me towards this bar as I walked around mid town looking for a place to have a drink on a Saturday night and it ended up as one of the best places in the city I’ve ever been. This isn’t a tourist spot, this is where the locals go. Bar staff were friendly, locals were friendly, and there was even live music which really tied the night together. I will definitely be back, and would recommend you check it out too.

Unfortunately, they could not play The Social Network (2010) on their TVs, yet despite these minor shortcomings the staff is top notch and the drinks are absolutely unrivaled. This is a must visit for anyone hoping to get the most out of a trip to the city.

In general, I like Bravest. That being said, if you’re going there for happy hour make sure you order *at least* 20 minutes before happy hour ends. We ordered a round of beers 15 minutes before the end of happy hour & got charged full price. It’s not the biggest deal ($8 per beer vs $5 per beer), but definitely something customers should keep in mind if they’re going there for happy hour.

This place has gone extremely downhill in the last year. I dont know if its new ownership or management, but they changed their menu and got rid of every good dish. Everything is quite bad now. They also never have the option to pick up anymore, and every time I try to give this palce another chance, something else goes wrong. In short, bravest sucks. Dont give these people your money.

Fantastic food, welcoming atmosphere! My wife and I were walking the streets around our hotel when we happened upon Bravest. The minute we walked in, with our southern accents we were obviously tourists, we were greeted and welcomed so warmly! I had the Cajun Burger with fries and it was awesome! We enjoyed it so much that we ate there twice before we left NYC! Both visits our servers were so friendly and helpful. They were glad to answer our questions and make recommendations for seeing the city. When we get back to Manhattan well definitely go back to Bravest!

Great feel about the bar and the food was fantastic. The waiter was stretched as she was the only person serving the whole place. Unfortunately this meant she was slow to serve drinks and I had to at one stage go to the bar to get drinks for the table. Which she seemed not to like very much. The place had a good vibe and if the service was more attentive and the waiter had more knowledge about the menu, drinks prices and specials, we would have stuck around and drank more.

I love this place so much. They hire firemen to serve you. Work in the back in the kitchen. They are friendly the food is actually very good the prices are very low for what youre getting. Not much to look like inside kind of dark but for the value of the food and the fact that youre supporting first responders this is the place you definitely should go to

Review №35

I wish there was a way to be able to completely ignore anybody who says the wings here are good. They are not. The chickens that these wings came from were anemic. Tiny. Malnourished. Sad. Some of the smallest, crappiest wings Ive ever had.And lets go on to the nachos. I love nachos. But nachos shouldnt be a plate of circular, overly salty corn tortilla chips, with a layer of hardened cheese over the top, and two little plastic cups on the side.The fried food was fine, as its *really* hard to screw up mozzarella sticks unless youre trying. My wrap was adequate, but when I ask for the fries to be crispy, I mean it.The saving grace is that this place has some decent beer specials. Thats it. Dont expect anything more.

Great place, not too big. Would go back again. Madi was exceptional. The fried pickles were fantastic as were the mozzarella sticks, although the marinara sauce was not very good. The Cajun Brave Burger was good but not very cajun. The Chicken Cesar Wrap was very flavorful.

For a local watering hole, Bravest has a nice cozy vibe, good food and drink specials and an awesome staff. Theres always a solid crowd here just about any day of the week (reminds me of Keats to that regard), plenty of TVs to watch the games, and there are lots of places to sit if youre not interested in crowding the bar. I have yet to eat here but the menu and advertised specials sound good in print!

What a fantastic place. We were here for a 5 day mini-break and this was out last night. We wanted somewhere that we considered American and that would cap our trip off, and saw this pop up on Google maps. Tied into our deeply moving trip to the 9/11 museum yesterday, and with the description we saw on Google, this was the place for us - we were not disappointed.Great juicy burgers, yummy fries and salad and happy hour beverages. What more could we ask for? - Great service and great atmosphere- yes, we got that too.We loved it (in case you couldnt guess)

9/15/24. Recently the Bravest was sold and they lost all front of house staff that were there previously. The new staff are a step down to say the least. The food hasn’t been as good either so I imagine some of the cooking staff has left. I hope they figure it out but it’s been rough the last few visitsFirst review : Love this place. Great beer list and solid cocktails as well. I prefer sitting at the bar and no matter where you sit you have at least the view of 2 TVs. They have a killer happy hour 3-7 M-F I believe with cheaper beers and deals on food. I love the wraps and sandwiches, they also have very solid salads..

Waiting forever for so called food. Two waitresses talking to each other ignoring us on purpose,totally made us feel unwelcome. Had to ask for water for my 5 year old baby, they just wanted to sell beer. Oh finally the food came and it was the wrong order. Food was bad, no soul on the chef side. The music was loud pop punk losers from early 00’s, what can I say a total win win for the fire department. A lot of FDNY paraphernalia on the walls, that should have been the sign. It was a rainy day and we were hoping that this would be a local gem. Lemme tell ya; what a waste of f@k€# time. Never again.

I ordered burger for PICK UP, their Google menu says cheeseburger costs $7.50 but when you order online is costs $11.50! Remember this was not a delivery order, just pick up. The sweet potato fries also has a different price. On top of that you have to leave a tip which I dont mind but the increase of their prices online a $20 order including tip became a $35 order.

I’m not a fan of burgers, and I’ve tried a lot of burgers in Manhattan. Honestly, Bravest burgers worth a try.

Corner bar in Midtown East catering to firefighters and anyone looking for good bar food and a decent beer selection. Laid back, great place to watch a game. Cant miss the spicy chicken sandwich and homemade pies.

Slow service but solid. The food is actually good and the tator tots are phenomenal. They have great vegetarian options.

Waited almost an hr for a chicken sandwich, a GorditaCrunch and tots. Asked for more cream sauce for the crunch since the little that was there was atop sad pink tomato chunks. Was informed there was no more. Very little taco meat on it. Tots FINALLY arrived after we finished. Meanwhile two regulars who were next to us were presented with sliders that had been ordered by other guests who left because it was taking too long for the food to arrive. Waitress was sweet and apologetic but will not be back.

Buffalo hummus was on point. Not overly spicy as goldilocks would say just right

For what it is, its great...a neighborhood pub with good grub, cold beer and friendly service (another reviewer says the bartenders can be gruff - in a good way but I sit in the restaurant section and the waitresses are all very nice). When its busy, its also VERY noisy.

Cheap happy hour and nice staff. The crowd this bar attracts is the negative here. Creepiest guy in the world harassed me and then kept staring at me from behind a pole for two hours. Wont be back for air.
