A Midtown Gastropub With a Rotating Craft Beer List
Grab salty fries and a first round two blocks from Madison Square Garden before the show.
🍻 Pub Food Before the Garden
Two blocks from Madison Square Garden, Haymaker Bar & Kitchen gives this tourist heavy corner of Midtown a friendly refuge for New Yorkers. The room splits into a beautiful bar, booths, and tables, and it often fills with a lively afterwork crowd.
An efficient kitchen keeps service fast, sending out salty fries and flatbreads quickly, while a rotating craft beer list sits beside wine and cocktails. Grab a booth for a quieter chat, or stay near the bar for a first round before a show at the Garden. The space also takes private parties for groups that want a room of their own.
Doors open at 2 PM Tuesday through Friday and at 3 PM Saturday through Monday, and the room stays open until 1 AM every night. Booking ahead is advised for tables between 5 PM and 8 PM, and the menu stays mid priced across plates and pours.
