Jeffrey B.Jeffrey Behm: Good tap beers and amazing fries

Uber NYCUber NYC: This one is a bit hidden, but that makes it one of our favorite spots to hang out for a bucket of beers, and an easy burger w/ fries. Enter on 68th and Riverside and walk down the wooded path.

MarkMark: Great for an outdoor drink with a view of the river. The corn and fries are a great summer treat. Decent summer beers.

Susie Y.Susie Yin: Gobo fries and miso wings to emulate Asian-American tastes, every cocktail is a great blend of Asian flavors. Gin lovers get the sakura martini

Henry B.Henry Bridge: Great cocktails and wings. Celery app is unexpectedly good too. The okonomiyaki is tasty but super heavy – would recommend splitting.

Leah H.Leah Hammerschlag: The wings are worth it- super unique and delicious, the cocktails are tasty though not mindblowing at $15. Wonderful service and ambiance.
