What People Are Saying About Pinetree Lodge

The Scene – You've never been to a theme bar until you've experienced the Camp Wigwam-meets-Catskills hunting lodge decor at this hilarious hideaway. Every inch of the space is adorned with inner tubes, lumberjack-plaid pillows, oars and other perfectly curated eBay finds from the great outdoors. And, yes, that's a real caribou head on the wall. Your bunkmates for the evening will be young, boisterous campers from around the neighborhood. – – The Draw – Fair weather means the enormous back patio is open with the frozen drink machine in full effect. During the regular…

Bad music, sketchy bartenders, great vibe.

I had walked past this bar before and instantly knew by the outside that it would be perfect for my friends (tacky camp decorations, plastic reindeer, christmas tree lights). After reading many positive reviews, we couldn't wait to try it for a birthday party. We were slightly disapointed that the rooms off of the bar had been reserved, but settled in with the relaxed crowd. We were also disapointed by the music- turns out there is a jukebox, so that was not the bars fault, but then the songs I chose never played. Ultimately, the bar had not lived up to my expectations, but I probably would have returned since I live around the corner. It was when I examined my credit-card charges from the weekend on Monday I realised that I have been over charged for the drinks I bought at Pinetree. I find this to be shady and unreliable and reason not to return to this bar that has potential to be a lot of fun.
- Pros: Decor
- Cons: Sketchy bar tenders, bad music

Great, comfy neighborhood spot.

I wanted a laid-back local place to celebrate my birthday, and chose Pinetree. I was worried it would be too dive-y, but I was pleasantly surprised. There are some great little nooks with comfy seating and it had a nice, loungy atmosphere. The bartender was very friendly, made great SoCo and lime shots and even gave me a free drink for the occasion. The Pinetree Ale on draft was suprisingly good. It wasn't too crowded, and my group took up a lot of the bar, but that was a good thing. It's a bit tucked away near the entrance to the Midtown Tunnel, but I thought that added to it. Overall great place, and I'll be back!
- Pros: Good seating
- Cons: Would get cramped on a crowded night.

Interesting place
by yukster11 at Citysearch
This is an out of the way place in Murray Hill. The set up is funky with a small front bar a side room with couches to relax and then a back room. There are a couple of TV's although one is tilted on it's side as well as an internet jukebox, trivia and hunting games. They have very good happy hour specials (buy 1 get 1 free), however the prices are a little high $5 for domestic when it's not happy hour. A lot different most of the bars in the area or Manhattan for that matter, however the one negative is it's a little out of the way (between 1st and 2nd) on 35th so you'll have a decent walk to your next place
- Pros: Happy Hour Specials, Decor
- Cons: Location, Non-Happy Hour Prices
