The Liberty NYC — Restaurant in New York

I like this place for a few reasons..

They make great craft cocktails for $12 The have a really good DJ on Fridays They have Sriracha (extra points for that)

So I recently began working in Midtown and The Liberty is one of the first gems I discovered in the area. Actually some co workers discovered it and I decided to pop my head in there after work. Everything from the decor to the music made me want to stay for a drink and a bite. The place feels like a watering hole from New York of old. They did a good job with this theme throughout the establishment. I also liked the crowd in the Liberty. It was a mix of professionals that looked like they were coming from work and club goers who were pre gaming before a night on the town.

The food: I had the Sliders (cheeseburger). These were really good. The buns were soft and the beef was tasty. Definitely above average here. I added some Sriracha to the sliders which kicked the flavor up a notch. I wouldn't hesitate to order these sliders again.

The drinks: They have a concise menu of craft cocktails themed after each of the five boroughs. There's two cocktails per borough. I just told the bar tender to make me his fav drink. I have no idea which one he made me (I was drinking before I got here), but I do know that it was well made, strong, and delicious. This is the kind of place that serves your drink in the proper drink-ware, garnishes it accordingly and doesn't short you on the liquor! All this for $12 is a great value in NYC.

Great experience at the Liberty. I'll be back often to check out their lunch offerings, happy hour and for after work drinks. I'm especially looking fwd to enjoying their outdoor seating in the...

Unfortunately a bad experience for us. The drinks were outrageously expensive and someone at the table next to us was smoking a marijuana pen. I was with my parents and we kept getting strong wiffs of marijuana. It was freezing very cold in the restaurant which I understand with covid they need to regulate air. I wanted to do the bottomless brunch but couldn’t because my parents didn’t want to. I understand how people can take advantage of this, but sometimes when there are groups with people who don’t drink it’s a little unfair. Our nachos were cold, we could tell so because the cheese was hard. When we got our meal Our waiter never checked in on how our meal was, we were waiting for sauce for our sandwich because it was extremely bland. After 20 minutes we were able to wave him down and our food was cold. 2 of us had the same sandwich and neither of us ate it. We were never asked if anything was wrong and they simply brought a to go box over to us without asking if we wanted to take it to go. I don’t want to rag on the restaurant but we paid $200 which is absurd for a causal quick lunch. If we got the food, service and ambience worth the price we would have been more than willing to pay. It’s very easy to make up for small errors at a restaurant but a lack of care and negligence makes it all around a...

My wife and I spent entire 10 days in NYC. During our stay, one of the days was Valentine's Day. I had a table already reserved in different restaurant but when I saw the place physically, I canceled it. So there was a need to find something quickly and The Liberty NYC was one of the places with free tables (two days before Valentine's Day). I reserved a table thanks to OpenTable. After coming to this place, it looked nice, there was a lady and bodyguard at the entrance. My reservation was quickly found and we received the table, without any waiting. My wife and I ordered couple of beers and coctail. As main dish we ordered Liberty Burger and Fish & Chips. Burger in taste was ok, could be more seasoned. The meal was for my wife and was ok. For me it was a little bit too small. However Fish and Chips was a different story. Fish was good in taste but was over-fried. As well as fries but less. Everything was so hard to chew on. For the entire dinner we paid nearly $100 but we left a little bit hungry. During our walk back to the hotel, we bought couple of pizza slices in one of the budget places. Do I recommend? Yes. The place is ok, the food was not delicious but tasty. The problem with this place is that there is poor quality-price ratio. Will I come back? No. There are many places in NYC...
