What People Are Saying About Dewey's Flatiron

Featured Review

The Scene – The mahogany wood and green-shaded lamps above the bar evoke images of a guys-only poker game. The vibe intensifies with the 15-foot mural of Admiral George Dewey circa 1899, who seems to say: "Gentleman, let's get down to business"--the kind of business that involves 20 draft beers and 60 bottles, bacon cheeseburgers served until midnight, games of pool on the upper level, and some serious after-work unwinding. Fair maidens, the men have arrived--and they're buying. – – The Draw – The casual pub atmosphere of the main floor dissipates as you ascend to the…

Beware

by bkgirl1975 at Citysearch

If you pay with a card better check your online statement.

They charged my card not once, not twice, but three times.

Other than that, the food was so so - I've definitely had much better and at a better price. The drinks weren't that strong and were overpriced.

Great bar, HORRIBLE bartender!!!

by gobabygogo35 at Citysearch

I'm writing this review because I love the place, (esp. for its great happy hour) and I don't want the place to get a bad rep due to one bad apple.

Came into the bar (1/19) and ordered a beer. I have an accent so I understand it's sometimes difficult to comprehend, but she truly made me feel like an idiot by making me repeat my order 5 times. She was rude while giving me my change, never looked at me in the eye. I don't need her to flirt with me, I just need some respect as a paying customer. She was also rude to my friends and noticed she was yelling at someone on the phone, I hope it was not a perspective customer.

AWFUL!

by geogirl27 at Citysearch

Its too bad I cant give a zero star rating. We went with a group of 6 @ 8:00 p.m. on Saturday. Place wasnt busy at all, only 3 tables in use. Now I know why, it was really BAD. Service was distracted and had to request a lime wedge 4 times for my drink. I ordered the lime wedge when I ordered the drink!! Meals 4 out of 6 were wrong and we got our food 1 hour & 30 minutes later! Server had an attitude, manager was only mildly interested in our complaints. We ended up paying for our drinks & leaving......DO NOT GO THERE!!

Great spot for private parties

by skyjohn at Citysearch

I've hosted two office happy hours at Dewey's and plan to return for more events. Ed the owner has been a pleasure to work with in coordinating the events. The upstairs bar is a great venue with plenty of room and the convenience of a private bar and televisions. Definitely a great place to go - no attitude, just a relaxed good time.

  • Pros: Beer selection, service and price
  • Cons: Nothing significant
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Inviting atmosphere

Great place to stop and enjoy a little "down time"!!!
