Reade Street Pub & Kitchen

Just dropped in after a meeting in the area — had live music (a plus) and a lively after work crowd. Had a great hamburger.
Well worth the visit !
Oh and bartender very attentive !

This is pretty much your solid local, neighborhood bar in a somewhat dead stretch of Tribeca. Friendly bartenders, decent prices, adequate selection, and lots of TVs – everything you need for a school night hangout with your crew.

I met the owner of Reade Street Pub, Bruce Barasky, while having dinner at Tribeca Grill. We were both waiting to use the men’s room and he struck up a conversation with me. He’s a super nice guy and very friendly. With an owner like this, I can only imagine that the pubs he owns are phenomenal. I told him I was on vacation from Amarillo TX and by coincidence, he said he was stationed at the old air base there some 40 years ago. He introduced me to his wife of many years, a lovely woman whom I also enjoyed speaking with. Bruce invited me to visit him at the Reade Street Pub, however sadly, we were unable to. I will definitely come see Bruce the next time we’re in NYC and hopefully he’ll remember me.

This is the type of place that you can call, The Bar, in NYC which is really rare. What I like about this bar is there’s always open tables, the service is good enough, the pitchers of beer are cheap $ 14 for the Reade St Amber Ale is in anyone’s budget and is a pretty good beer by all accounts, you can draw on the tables, they show sports and you can generally hear/​talk to your friends. It’s not a hole in the wall but it’s not pretentious either, it’s just a bar. And I love bars.

Best neighborhood pub! Loaded fries, a cold beer, and Chris Decker on the guitar = perfect evening.

I have been coming to this pub since 2010, this place gives you the feel that it is a neighborhood bar but with a grimy feel in the heart of Tribeca and surely I wouldn’t have it any other way. From blue-​collared working stiffs, BMCC students, and Wall Street types all gather in this place to grab a drink or 3, and mingle with old friends and associates. My friend had his retirement party here last year and we practically took over the whole place. The drinks are typical hard living kind but I am not coming for anything fancy and absurd; I just want to get a buzz. The food is pretty good as well, my favorite are the Jalapeño poppers. I have not been here in a few months, sadly but I think this Friday I will be paying them a visit.

Nice to see a real local pub in trendy Tribeca. Beers are a very good price. Also a decent selection of bottle beers and drafts. Food looked like typical pub food. Very down to Earth bar staff.

This was an ok bar. Dragged here caveman style by my boss. I take it he likes the older divey style crowd. The food was mediocre bar food and the drinks were lightweight so you may need to load up.

Super chill pub. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a place to grab a quick drink or hang out with friends.
Drinks and food were up to par for any local pub but a downside was that there was no table service; therefore I had to continually get up and go to the bar in order to order food or another drink. But on the bright side their table-​cloths are made of paper and they provide crayons, so that mixed with some liquid courage definitely resulted in some interesting artwork!

I was in NYC on business and a colleague suggested Reade St.
Great pub — lots of regulars.

We ended up here last night for our last drink.
(It was probably an unneeded last drink.)
My best friends and I have fond memories of this place. There was our first visit, during a frigid winter night. Our relationship with alcohol was young. All NYC bars were still a novelty. The music was good and the drinks were reliable. There was a famous story with an escaped puppy.
We have had similarly pleasant experiences over the years. They are random and infrequent, but that adds to the charm. The place always has a crowd but is never elbow-​to-​elbow.
This place is a go-​to spot that is likely to continue to be visited by us in years to come given its proximity to friends and family.

Reade St Pub is consistently great. Love their house amber beer on tap and the food is better than your average bar food. Servers are always pleasant and conversational.
Went in on a Saturday morning for some mimosas and the older man behind the bar was great. You have to love a guy who works part time as a bartender well into retirement on a Saturday morning.

I didn’t really choo choo choose this place as our pre/​post volleyball hangout, but I“m sure glad it’s been a team tradition since I joined the beach squad.
Reade Street is a well rounded pub, serving dirt-​cheap $ 12 pitchers of their house ale, and a tasty assortment of sandwiches, burgers, and other pub fare. Sandwiches are priced between $ 10-​$ 14, but some of the appetizers are a little expensive for what they are… I’m talking to you, $ 11 mozzarella sticks!
There’s about 16 or so seats at the bar, with plenty of tables on the side and back. A handful of TVs ensure you’ll be in on the sports, and if you’re up for more distractions, a model train (get it… choo choo?!) runs on an oval track suspended from the bar ceiling. Service is friendly, and atmosphere is comfortable enough for our sweaty t-​shirts and shorts…

Came here for drinks and appetizers and it was a fun little divey bar with plenty of tables in the back and a dart board. They have paper on the tables and crayons so you can draw all the things that your drunk heart desires. Super cheap drinks and really awesome bartenders.

I’ve gone here twice now and I have to say the atmosphere is pretty chill and laid back. The bartenders are nice and they talk to you all night if you let them. They also make a mean burger, virginia ham and cheese wrap and fries. Honestly, loved the hot virginia ham and cheese wrap. Now I live 500 miles away and my mouth is still watering for it. Bonus: it’s family and group friendly.

Not impressed with the beer selection (though their house «Reade St Ale» is decent enough), nor their food (mostly greasy and mediocre, but I *do* like the wings) — but the place is always lively with a good atmosphere. A decent go at an Irish bar, much like you’d expect in New York, and it’s one of the more roomy bars in the area.
The major selling point is the fact you get a table-​sized piece of paper and a cup full of crayons to draw with! …if you’re lucky enough to get a booth. Unfortunately these are often used by THAT crowd: the group of 6 after-​workers who stand in everyone’s way whilst their jackets sit on the otherwise unoccupied seats they don’t use. Lame.

— $ 19 pitchers of Goose Island IPA seems like a good price.
— Friendly high-​fiving bartender.
— Had a turkey club that was much better than I expected it to be (either that or I was terrifically hungry and already a little drunk).
— The place was lively but not packed (Tuesday evening)
— The music on the jukebox occasionally got annoyingly loud.

The drinks are strong, it’s not overly crowded for a NYC bar on a Friday night and the bar food is passable. Not amazing, but not bad in anyway. I have a feeling that I’ll be here for many Fridays since it’s popular with the boy and his work group.

The last day of June 2012 brings an intense purgatory heat wave to the Metro NY, where my travels induce me nearby Teardrop Park, Nelson A. Rockefeller Park and firstly Poets House that I was to abate at Reade Street Pub & Kitchen.
Bar tender Benny is friendly, attentive, and welcoming to all patrons, albeit not portraying extreme impeccable hospitality, but gets the job done for abate in relief for the air conditioning is fully blasting strong and powerful. Relief! Reade Street Pub & Kitchen, is a local Irish pub for sports watching and/​or after-​work hang out spot. It is not a pretentious bar housed with stuffy, upscale bar tenders or wait staff but attends to all in their line of sight. Benny, the bar tender fully exhibits humility and attentiveness to serve patrons. A replica of a bronze statute «Lunch Atop A Skyscraper» 1932 famous photo by Charles C. Ebbets sits behind the bar. The atmosphere encompasses baseball caps, model trains, including MTA Subway Downtown sign 1, 2, 3, 9 Trains, an old Greenwich Street sign.
Pub food of fish and chips at $ 12.95 was plentiful to be inhaled within mere minutes from hunger pangs due to abject pain from heat intensity. I finally was able to attain a good fish and chips entrée which Old Mill Inn, a seafood restaurant in Mattituck, NY sourly failed to deliver. There were actually more than one fish… whoa! I’m actually seeing three pieces of fish on my plate as it was not a dream which is adequate compensated unlike the vile Old Mill Inn, WOW! My Seltzer Water was served cold at $ 2.05, which together, totals a reasonable $ 15.00 for my bill. To enjoy my early dinner/​late lunch at my own time in a restful cool air conditioning atmosphere without being bothered by other patrons or being ridiculed was a pleasure. I hate when male bar tenders or male patrons interject their nonsense inflicted onto me as their rude and vulgar way of so-​called flirting. I do NOT miss the pain of being ridiculed!
Back on point, Reade Street Pub & Kitchen features Reade Street Ale and Magners Irish Cider for the avid beer drinker. No comment for the alcohol as I did not imbibed any, by choice alone. Match books with Reade Street Pub & Kitchen’s contact details are the substitute for a business card. I would return but not alone for round #2.

A decent go-​to bar after a long day if you’re in the area. I’m a big fan of the house ale, and $ 11 a pitcher is a price I’ll happily pay. Compared to the other bars in the area, this bar will definitely be gentle on your wallet.
I usually don’t eat here, but from what I’ve ordered here the food is serviceable. Nothing special, but if you want a burger, you could do worse. It definitely took long for the food to come out, considering that the place wasn’t too packed the day I ordered (a little over 15 minutes).
Definitely a bar I’d go to if I were in the area, but not the kind of bar that I’d go out of my way for.
