The Gin Mill Review

Best Place to watch a game, crowd is UWS People, Great Tap. Very Good Bartenders

Cozy, with good food and good service. But the music is so loud and obnoxious, even before noon, I'm inclined to stop visiting

Good Happy Hour, gets a bit bro-ish at times, fun to catch some sports and some wings with friends. They have games in the back too so that's pretty cool & the bar tenders are great as well, just don't be an over privileged creep.

Fun sports bar close to the American Museum of Natural History. Excellent happy hour specials. It was a great spot to watch a world cup match

Awesome Happy Hour prices, great bar food and nice casual feel.

Tons of TVs and room to have a beer and watch a game

Fantastic little spot on the upper west side! Great drinks, service and ambiance.

Loud Irish pub. Good happy hour prices, friendly staff.

Awesome place nice cold beers and the bartender meg is my favorite

Great beer selection and lovely staff. This place is very clean also.

Lovely place,
Great service, amazing prices!

The place I always have a meal and a beer when in New York. Great food friendly staff and buzzing atmosphere. Well worth a visit. Thanks to the staff for their friendliness.

A real fun bar with a great drinks selection. Great staff, left a jacket behind and returned the next day and they had it held over for me.

Beer at half price casi constantly, local type food very good!

One of the best Bars to hang out on Upper West side

Megan and jason were wonderful to us. Megan was very attentive to our group,even though there were quite a few patrons there.gin mill continues to be my favorite place to go to. The menu has a variety and is worth the money. Love the ambiance

Fun 20something/sports bar. Great specials. Always check because they are different every day. Good bar food.

Has one of the best happy hours in the city. Locals, college crowd, afterwork folks, corporate sport teams, everybody comes through.

They have one of the best happy hours I've seen in a bar. Friendly staff and the bar food is good. Great atmosphere

The Gin Mill is a great bar on a street full of bars. The prices are reasonable, the bathrooms are clean, the atmosphere is chill and great. There is also a cool event space in the basement. They also donate a portion if their proceeds which is great~

Good bar to chill - have some snacks and watch a game at.

Haven't had a meal here but they have pretty good happy hours. Definitely a nice place to unwind after a long weeks work

I think they overcharged us for our $5 shots up tequila

Another bar with Atomic Wings, this one was okay for me, a little smaller compared to Jake's Dilema

divy college bar but it can be exactly what youre looking for. I love the place, when the time is right

Great post softball game bar. But gets super duper crowded during any special sporting events. Beer pong and/or flip cups usually going on in the back.

Great Happy Hour, The Burgers and wings are supreme! Nice neighborhood bar that draws a nice crowd. Conversations will become yelling matches because this place pumps up that music! Beer pong tables and eat-in tables are in the rear. A private party room can be rented for events which is located downstairs. That's a nice room too with its own bar!

Whoa, talk about unexpected surprise. As I was traveling to my homeland I needed a sweet treat for my metro north trip. Miraculously this place was near the restrooms downstairs in the dining concourse with a mini line. I was struck by the display case. I saw jumbo individual pies, jumbo muffins, cupcakes and whole cakes in glass cake stands that look like what I'd see at grandma's.

I settled on the cupcake, just one (trying to keep a waist line during bathing suit season ya know). I got the chocolate frosted vanilla cake. On first glance, the ratio of frosting to cake was perfect, you know 30% frosting 70% cake. The cake was very good, light, fluffy a clearly made with butter not margarine. I was a little shocked when I peeled back the liner, seemed like there should've been more cake. Since I was already on my way to Connecticut, that didn't stop me. I dug in. The frosting was good, chocolaty and real cream, not just brown flavored powdered sugar.

For $3.25 in NYC I've got no complaints. The cupcake was cheaper than the latte I got at another stand and more satisfying. I'll get another on the way back.

One of the younger (age-wise) bars in UWS. Has three beer pong tables in the back. Prices are OK. It's a pretty fun time on a Friday or Saturday night if you live close by, but I wouldn't bother traveling across the city to get to it.

Great pub and waiters to get off after a good day of sightseeing. Prices are low, beer is good and there are several TVs for sports fans. The opportunity to learn the rules of baseball and American football!

Friendly staff, chill.vibe, happy hour special is awesome--2 rounds for $20! Best prices in NY!

Not bad as far as bars go. It is everything you expect at a bar with the notable section for some group gatherings and let's not forget about the beer pong. Since it's called the gin mill you have to order gin, and it lives up to expectations. Finally with a good menu of items and a well stocked bar, it's everything you are looking for in a great nyc bar.

Went for a birthday party. In house catered food was meh. Atmosphere was nice, but main bar/dining room was too noisy.

Good sports bar for watch the games with a cold beer.

Always a great spot to meet your friends, great prices w/ great staff!

I recently went to this establishment to grab a drink with 2 of my friends from out of town. I was held at the door by the bouncer who was staring at me rudely. The minute I presented my ID he informed me that he did not like my energy!! Not sure how a bouncer could ascertain my energy. This has never happened to me before. I informed him he should just be evaluating my ID and not my feelings and he immediately became aggressive. I asked him for my ID and told him I would go elsewhere and I did not feel comfortable and he told me to get the "F" out of here. I felt it my duty to inform others about the way I was treated. Fyi - I had not been drinking at this was my first establishment I visited..

Typical Sports Bar. Was there Friday night and it was pretty loaded with people. Nice atmosphere and awesome playlist (rock). But the real awesomeness was reserved for the ridiculously beautiful barkeepster who helped me pick out the correct beer and gave me a free Goose to make up for advising Bud Light the first go. Made my evening.
Anyway: cool place, nothing special.

Great happy hour specials daily, great music, just an overall great atmosphere. Need more than 1 bartender however.

THE DEAL IS NOT THE DEAL....UNLESS OF COURSE AMERIKHAN SULTAN SAITHS THIS IS THE DEAL......UNTIL 8 PM E.S.T. ALL BAR IS 50%.KNOCK YOURSELVES OUT WONDERFUL DEAL ONLY IN NEW AMSTERDAM (NEW YORK CITY) CITY SO NICE THEY NAMED IT...NOT TWICE BUT THRICE...ENJOY.

Cool spot in the upper west side. Definitely check out the happy hour which actually seems to last till 8pm. Bar food isn't bad at all and the ambiance is spot on. Definitely a cool place to check out some games or hangout on the weekend or stop in after work during the week...

Very disappointed in service! I came here and had to leave after 20 minutes of no service. I went to the bar where the bartender told me since I was sitting outside, I had to wait for a waitress. After seeing two different waitresses serve other tables and skip mine after I signaled them, I went to the bar where the bartender blatantly ignored me. She proceeded to go from each end tending to other clients and wiping the bar down. I m so sad because I ve come here with friends and for corporate events. I will never suggest this place to anyone.

Great place to go with your team after a ball game in the park.

Great spot to grab a drink and some food. Downstairs area is perfect to host a private party.

Amazing staff. Food is delicious. Plenty of seating.

Always a great time visiting the general especially during football season. Great beer selection and good food

Amazing place to have a reunions they have a separate basement area highly recommend.

I loved the inside, there are so many different areas to hang out in.

AMAZING nachos! Best I've ever had! We went during the day and they had half price drinks until 8pm so we got a pitcher of beer for such a low price compared to everywhere else we saw in NYC. The burgers looked amazing and such big portions too. They always have loads of deals and they have a nice atmosphere. If you're passing definitely go in, even if it's just to grab a half price drink! But again, nachos! With pulled pork! AMAZING! The best ever.

Great deals... loud, young, pretty bartenders! Not bad to watch a game.

Always a party atmosphere here. Beer pong, sport, loud music, cheap pitchers of beer. It's got everything a college-style bar would need but also has good bar staff who can make real cocktails

Love it! The happy hour will make you happy indeed. The atmosphere is chill and fun

The Gin Mill is great if you're looking to socialize with friends on a weekday after work. However, on the weekends it gets far too crowded to enjoy yourself.

Good drinks and a great happy hour on Thursday's 1/2 price on most drinks. They also have the beer pong table in the back. The only thing I would say is that you might have to wait awhile for your drinks. Recommend it though!

Decent sports bar. Not a great beer selection. Good wings and other bar food.

Good place for a drink. Extensive caviar menu. Good food.
