Midtown Tavern Near Bryant Park With Pub Plates
Classic pub fare, cocktails and outdoor seats at a relaxed tavern a block from Bryant Park.
🍸 A Midtown Name With a Past
Start with the pub fare, then take your time with the broad cocktail selection. The lively but relaxed room suits a post work drink or a meal. Bryant Park sits blocks away, a natural anchor for a Midtown stop.
The name reaches back to the Fortress Reservoir, which once occupied the site now home to Bryant Park and the New York Public Library. Croton Reservoir Tavern opened in 2003, and that bit of local history gives the tavern a clear link to the park and library nearby. Times Square is also a few blocks away, placing major landmarks within reach without changing the easygoing mood inside.
For warm weather, the outdoor seating area adds another way to settle in beyond the bar. Classic pub fare and cocktails pair with a relaxed room for a casual meal or an after work round. Fold it into a Bryant Park day, with neighborhood history in the name and an unfussy tavern atmosphere inside.
