An old fav

by chelseagirl212

Love to hang at this bar on Fridays - even though it's crowded - or any other time to watch a game. Decent crowd, decent bartenders, awesome chicken fingers. Only, do not buy mixed drinks at a table during happy hour, otherwise your half-priced drink will have half the liquor...Which I found out last Friday. Normally a bar person, but was with a large group, and so decided to try a table. Never again. That's enough, I can eat and drink in a reasonable amount of time, for a reasonable (even more so during happy hour, IF I'm at the bar) amount of money, in a reasonably pleasant 'sports bar' environment. I'm satisfied.

• Pros: Best chicken fingers in town! Great happy hour!!!
• Cons: Happy hour not so happy at the tables.

Great bar on the UWS

by Greg916

Great food also, and the women that go there are usually real cute...younger crowd, but it's a TON of fun and they have a great staff. Tuesdays and Fridays and Saturdays are some of the best nights...and good prices too.

• Pros: Lots of sports, bartenders aregreat, good prices
• Cons: Gets crowded, but fun!

Low-key Upper West Side bar nurtures partyers with beer pong, burgers and games on the tube.

Great place to watch the game!

by nyergrl

I love going to the Gin Mill to watch sports because I always know I can see the game I want, no matter how obscure. The bartenders are great, the drinks are cheap for NYC, and the crowd is mostly locals (except Friday and Saturday nights). Great Happy Hour (1/2 price)!

• Pros: All Games on TV, Good Price, Great Service
• Cons: A little B&T on Friday and Saturday nights

Diamond in the Rough

by deviluha

Went to Gin Mill for the first time about 2 years ago... A Group of about 20 of us went after a college reunion. Atmosphere was great, drinks were strong & cheap. I agree with many of the reviews, the service is always willing to please the crowd. Music is great, people are great. This isnt your "typical college bar". All walks of life come in and have a good time. By far the best bar in the city that I have found.

• Pros: Inexpensive, Easy going
• Cons: none, none, none

Wow What a Great Place!!

by chris1918

I went to ther Gin Mill with a group of friends to grab a few drinks and got such a suprise. Not only were the drinks really affordable, and plentiful, but there were so many different baseball and basketball games on , everyone in our group got to see what we wanted. The other customers in the bar were great, all drinking, talking and just having a great time. The music was a mix of newer stuff with some 80's classics and the staff was unbelivable, not only in getting all of us all drunk (the shots flowed like water), but they were frindly and good looking. If you want a fun place to hang out with friends, drink, catch some games, drink some more and look at attractive patrons and staff then you need to visit The Gin Mill!!

Always a good time

by redpop

The Gin Mill has become one of my all time favorite bars!! Not only do I have a great night every time I go, but the bartenders are fast, friendly and willing to give away as many shots as it takes to make you happy. At The Gin Mill you will inevitably have cheap drinks, great music, a friendly staff, and an atmosphere that exudes an unavoidable good time.

• Pros: friendly staff, cheap drinks, great crowd
• Cons: none
