TV sets airing the big game line every inch of this narrow Upper West Side pub--the brainchild of two enterprising Playboy bunnies and their flight attendant friend. The ceiling displays T-shirts from various fire companies throughout the U.S. The decor is otherwise unremarkable, with plain brick walls, a long bar, and an adjacent table-service area, which also features several oversized booths. Sports fans stop by to wind down after work or gear up for a Saturday night with some good, semi-clean, all-American fun. Glasses are constantly being refilled and the staff is friendly and competent.…

DO NOT ORDER FROM BLONDIES

by JENDAM

If I could give it zero stars, I would. Last year I stupidly tried to get wings delivered on Super Bowl Sunday. This year I placed my order on the Tuesday before. Guess what? They charged my credit card, never showed up, never called, and wouldn't answer their phone. What the heck kind of way is that to run a business?!?!?!?! Order at your own risk.

Finally, a bar with a few vegetarian options.

by JulieM101

I have been to Blondie's a handful of times, their service & food is consistently satisfying.

It's hard to find a bar that gives you vegetarian options other than a plain, boring salad.

They have a really yummy vegetarian chili, and they also serve a veggie burger (which I'm not too crazy about because I think it's just defrosted & cooked....but then again, I'm picky about my veggie burgers. tehe!) They have a mac & cheese dish that I'm hankering to try.

The waitress we had last time was very nice & attentive (but not overly attentive), my food wasn't very hot when I got it, but I was too hungry to make a fuss.

Nice place, and if you like sports you'll love the fact that they have about 60 televisions!

Not my Blondie's anymore!!!

by roadetot

This used to be buffalo wing nirvana!!! What happened ??? Went there a couple of nights ago and had some dry wings, with some cold sauce splashed on them - which, of course, kinda' made the whole dish clammy and greasy. There was none of the crispness, tangyness and kick that I've loved for years! Service was super slow, even though there were only 3 tables to serve (there was a party in the back that apparently sucked up the restaurant's entire staff of 3 people). The burger was still good, but the wings - and let's face it, Blondie's is for wings - were like a limp impersonation of the real thing. Very depressing...
