Fort Washington Public House

This Washington Heights hangout near New York Presbyterian Hospital pairs a lively sports-bar style with neighborhood mural art and a chill atmosphere. While the kitchen serves smaller portions, the food is highly flavorful—particularly the popcorn chicken, the chicken sandwich, and a popular mac and cheese. It draws great Friday night crowds for its well-regarded happy hour, backed by friendly staff willing to help you out, even if you just need to charge your phone.
