This rustic New York City tavern conjures images of days of old, of Hamilton and Washington sitting around the fire, while Lafayette picks up the tab at the bar. The Brazen Tavern's unique location between Times Square and Hell's Kitchen means easy access and appeal for theatergoers, neighborhood residents, and international visitors alike. Everyone feels at home and alive at the Brazen, where Irish-inspired food, mouth watering whiskeys, and great craic await.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Brazen Tavern, nestled near Broadway theaters, offers a "great atmosphere" and exceptional service. It's perfect for a quick meal or leisurely game-watching. Known for its "excellent" food, including spicy tuna and burgers, it's a "terrific" spot for pre-theater dining. Reasonably priced and highly accommodating for groups.

    My family of 4 had a reservation and showed up 5 minutes early. The place was moderately crowded, midday. There was a waitress and a bartender for the lower level and the waitress apologized as they were understaffed for that time. We waited 10 minutes to be seated (there was no one ahead of us) and another 15 minutes to have our order taken. Even though we were there for brunch hours and brunch was on the menu, the waitress apologized as they were not serving brunch. The food was alright. The best thing we had was the nachos with guacamole and salsa. I ordered the streak sandwich Au jus and the Au jus was like a mushroom gravy. The flat bread was above average and my 9 year old liked her chicken tacos. I did not see a kid's menu. All in all, it was alright. We probably will not return as there are so many other choices to choose from.

    They did separate checks for our large group which was absolutely incredible of them! Weren’t super busy on a Sunday evening so it wasn’t too loud for us either. Excellent service.

    We were seated at a comfortable in back, but quickly the area filled up with a large group. Service was great, but the noise was a little much.

    We were in a real hurry as we had theatre tickets and only had a small window in which to eat. We ordered chicken fingers and fries to keep it quick and simple. They were very tasty. We were very impressed with how the manager or owner got us in and out promptly to accommodate our timing. Very friendly wait staff.

    Very good food. Reasonably priced for midtown Manhattan. Our waitress was very personable. An excellent pre theater choice. Not nearly as crowded as the places closer to Broadway so we didn’t sweat making the show on time. Definitely recommend.
