Tips for Soldier McGee Tavern
November 20, 2009
I love Soldier McGee. I love Soldier McGee! I've been there several times and have always left wanting more. It's a great place to watch a game. It's clean and I love the open space. The jukebox is awesome and there is always a great crowd. Try the macaroni and cheese wedges they're a perfect pair to the icy cold draft beer. I don't often find myself on the UWS but when I do McGee is the place I go.

Sports and suds are the main draw at this Upper West Side spot..
In Short
A mostly local crowd of yuppie 30-something professionals and local sports fanatics schmooze before, during and after the game at this lively tavern. With eight 50-inch flat screen TVs, a pool table, dartboard and video boxing game, Soldier McGee is for those who like some entertainment with their booze. There are 20 beers on tap and a menu of snacks and appetizers, so even if you do decide to sit still, you won't be disappointed.
Hits: While sports fans will enjoy watching the game, the laid-back vibe will appeal to everyone. Plus, it's open later than most of the other bars nearby.
Misses: It's hard to differentiate this from the countless other sports bars that line Amsterdam Avenue; pick a bar, any bar.

UWS Top Spot. Can't say enough about this place. Was there for two different games so far this year. Awesome draft system and some very hot bartenders. Was there with a lot of people and the staff was really nice. Many HD screens, so was able to watch every game. Good crowd. I will definitely be back. Cool jukebox.

Avoid this place like the plague. I can't begin to describe how bad this place is. My boyfriend took me there over the summer to watch a game and I hated it. I think Jimmy254 said it best. Besides the update in decor, this is one of the worst additions to the Upper West Side over the past 2 years. I met a guy there who claimed to be part-owner. He seemed like a nice guy at first, but he proceeded to talk about himself for the entire night. He even tried to pick me up with my boyfriend standing 5 feet away. When my boyfriend confronted him he ran behind the bar like a scared little kitten. Do yourself a favor and go someplace else.

no place is bettah than brooklyn but....... if you have to have a cold beer someplace other than bensonhurst...this is the place to do it....food is better than ok but ill tell you something....they have a sfogliatelle that melts in your mouth...and the espresso with a twist of lime is something that would make you cry about....like listening to pavarotti on a warm spring evening.....what a beatufigul life!!
