Editorial Review for Mad River Bar & Grille – by Sandra Ramani
The Scene
Miss those college outings for comfort food, brews and a decent jukebox? Mad River will take you back, minus the tuition. Casually dressed folk of all ages chill in the spacious back dining area, while up front a lively happy-hour scene draws recent grads and sports fans. A second-floor party room, TVs galore and pleasant, low-key service make it great for that Super Bowl gathering or fraternity reunion.
The Draw
It's more than just an after-work spot. Live bands appear on select weeknights; DJs and guest bartenders bring in large crowds on the weekends. For munchies, choose from bar starters such as nachos, and main courses of hamburgers, sandwiches and large salads. While the potato skins and thin-crust pizza are a tad bland and too cheesy, most dishes use surprisingly fresh ingredients; standouts include a peppery French onion soup with thick chunks of bread and beer-battered onion rings.

Ok I visit NYC only once a year for the NFL draft with friends and we always go to M-R! Established a great rapport with some people who work here and basically enjoyed the hell out of every night we have ever gone there! No rip offs, yet your right there in NYC with some great people for fun! I love this place and will always go back! Music, drink prices, location etc. by far one of my favorite places to go! You like to dance, listen to good music, see girls, or just chill up front? Then you can do it all here, trust me! I'm a former jock and business man, "Thumbs up to Mad River"!
Pros: Honestly I have not had a bad experience yet!

one of my favorite places on the UES. great place to grab a good beer and listen to great music. the crowd is a good vibe. the bouncers could lighten up a little at the front door. good location to subway.
Pros: tap beer, music
