I'm from Texas originally and it's a fun place to go when you want to have 10 friends together for a birthday, sit around and eat snacky, casual food (fried pickles - suprisingly yummy) and get a little crazy. They have a lot of areas for groups to hang out in. It's rowdy and busy so sometimes it can be a little bit of a wait for things. But if you're nice they will definitely buy you a round! And the fajitas are almost as good as Pappasito's.

Rodeo Bar is a great spot to drink some beer, eat some good food and watch some live music. What else are you looking for?

Pros: Drinks, Eats, Music

Oh this place is my fav. Where can you go in NYC where you see line dancing, banjo playing, peanut throwing, people drinkin good beer along side of a trailor shaped bar? Rodeo bar. So good. Food is GREAT, beer is awesome, so are the mixed drinks. The wait service is great, and they have you seated pretty quickly..even on a saturday night. One of my favorite spots.

Pros: peanuts on the floor and live music

Cons: you cant wear a tux here

Well the place screwed up. Very crowd and loud on a Thursday nite. Our waitress messed up on our order and put it up top to the place upstairs. We did get comped on the beer and didn't pay for it. Chicken burrito was diced chicken not shreaded, and from my friend reaction to the ribeye, it was all fat. Fun place for low budget food, but just keep in mind the low budget.

My good friend booked a 30th patry on November 14th, and when we got there, they had no record of it. So we all had to sit at seperate tables, but in the same room. Not to mention there were over 40 people that showed up, who combined had a food and bar tab over $1000.00, and they never even brought anything on the house. The slice of cake they brought out, they charged us for. It stinks because the food is good, but because they treated us dirt most of us will not go back. All they needed to do, was buy one round. After all...we did spend over a grand in their place.

Pros: Fun place, good food

Cons: No buy backs even if you spend over $1000.00

How can there be only 29 reviews of Rodeo Bar, that perennial NY classic?? Third Avenue would not be the same without it. If you're going for the music, enter through the northern door and skip the wannabes hugging the bar on the southside. You can check the music lineup on their website. Reading these reviews, it sounds like the service is spotty. Sandra is the all time greatest, plus I hear Lillie (of Lillie's in Red Hook) is managing now, so there should be some improvements on that front. I've had disinterested servers here, too, which scks, but the good out number the weak. BEST FROZEN MARGARITAS on the east side hands down.

Pros: music line up, desserts, taco salad, atmosphere

Cons: service gamble, yuppies crowding the bar

I love Rodeo Bar, it was the first bar I went to after moving to the Murray Hill area, and although the name of the bar sounded a bit hillybilly-ish for my taste, I had tons of fun once I got inside!!

Pros: Music rocks, drinks and food are great

Cons: None I can think of!

I really just like the idea of this bar. I like ordering a beer from the side of a trailer, I like eating peanuts and dropping the shells onto the floor and I like tapping my foot to a live band. The crowd is eclectic and the band isnt always fabulous but all in all its a different scene that the usual NYC bar.

Pros: Peanuts

Cons: a bit of an older crowd
