What People Are Saying About Point Break NYC

Featured Review

In Short – High ceilings and brick walls make visitors to this dusky, multi-leveled bar and restaurant feel welcome. Beyond the front room is a lounge with a fireplace and a cluster of tables overlooking the bar. A staircase leads to the dining room and, farther up, a skylight-crowned loft space for private parties. The bar draws a mostly after-work clientele. The menu reads like one of those "six-countries-in-five days" package tours.

Editor's Tips

When to Go:
Thursday is the busiest night and finds the first floor packed end-to-end with a noisy, animated crowd of professionals mingling to rock tunes.

Slow service.

by TardyKat

The service was so slow, we're not even sure why. It wasn't very crowded but it took forever for the waitress to take our order and for the kitchen to make our food. Usually these kind of lunch pub places are very quick and I was disappointed to wait over 30 minutes from the time I placed my order to the time I got my food. This is unaccpeted as I only have 60 minutes for my lunch from work.

The menu found on their website is different than the one they have in the restaurant.

Point Break is a great fun place

by victorlewis0808

Finally a fun place in the neighborhood. Loud music and fun bartenders unlike the usual midtown irish bars. Even saw a girl dancing on the bar last week.

Best Burgers

by steventaylor1113

Burgers are out of this world. Bleu cheese and bacon my favorite. Pretty big and not the usual midtown ripoff.
