This is a great bar and restaurant when out with friends in the Kips Bay area of Manhattan. There is outdoor seating for the times when the weather brings sunny, fresh, radiant rays through the air that one can't get indoors. The indoor environment is classy as well. There is a bar with an excellent selection of beverages on tap. The fried calamari and the burgers are delicious! The Crooked Knife's toasted hamburger buns go so well with their savory burgers. The atmosphere is neat and pleasant, with excellent customer service. This is a lovely corner bar & restaurant!
Really kind staff - fun, social, and extremely accommodating. Excellent bar and beer selection. Breakfast was good. I thought that the bacon was a bit thin/dry would have loved to see them thick and juicier and that the toast was just one slice of toast. Would have been great to have 2 slices, some butter didn't include butter, and an option of white or wheat. Sausages were a bit spicy and crunchy, and the eggs were cooked well. Their cocktails are delicious, so definitely worth coming here for the bar/drinks/beer selection. With slight tweaks to the breakfast, this would be an excellent brunch spot. Will come again.
Absolutely perfect brunch spot. Great food. Perfect simple Bloody Mary’s. No extra malarkey added in. Just delish. Want a quiet brunch for a chat or family time? Come at 11 when they open. Around 1 you’ll start to see the bottomless brunch crowd roll in. Nothing wrong with it at all! Just choose your vibe! Food was truly delicious and always is at dinner too. You can’t go wrong. Casual. Familiar. Friendly. We love Crooked Knife and are proud to call it our regular spot!
Bartenders gave my credit card to another patron and charged their full tab to my credit card. After being told that I need to cancel my credit card and wait a few days for the significant payment they erroneously charged to my card to void, I was given a second bill. But don’t worry. Two drinks removed. For any newcomers, don’t trust them with your tab. Great experience otherwise.
We came to visit my nephew during lunch and he recommended that we eat at this Irish pub around the corner. I’m glad he did. The Crooked Knife was an awesome place to stop and eat for lunch. I ordered a bacon burger and it was cooked to perfection. My nephew got an adult grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup and he said that it was great. My wife got the crispy fried chicken sandwich and it was great as well. We will come back to this place not only for the food but because Justin, who took care of us was awesome! He was friendly, funny, and super helpful.
Dropped by on a Sunday afternoon for an early dinner w a friend. Chose outside seating because the weather was nice. Had the house burger and a beer. Everything was great- bacon was crispy, had ordered burger medium rare I know, why would anyone do that at a bar but it came out medium-ish, no pink at all… was pretty content with the meal, beer, and service —except after leaving the restaurant and on our walk down to the lower east side I was hit but sudden excruciating stomach pain and the urge to use the bathroom- almost couldn’t hold it in- ran into a bar to use their bathroom… then had to go again within two blocks of that bar. There could be no other explanation for the sudden onset of explosive diarrhea other than food at Crooked Knife, since I hadn’t eaten anything else that day and was fine before hand. The meat was cooked so I don’t think it was the burger patty? My friend had the same order but had gotten his burger medium and didn’t get sick at all. Maybe it was the lettuce/tomato. Uncomfortable stomach issues aside, I’m not opposed to giving the place another chance.
This WAS a great bar when it was the Waterfront Ale House. This bar is NOT the Waterfront Ale House and is definitely NOT great.
Amazing atmosphere. I had the steak fries and it was fantastic. Highly recommend
The Food is pretty good, but there are a few things that need to be said; they use Iodised salt, which means you need a LOT to season. This next thing may sound dumb, but I had the Mac n cheese, and there was too much mac, and not enough cheese, I had to salt it, but it was pretty damned good. I also had the fish and chips, to be honest, the batter doesnt get crispy, I also had to salt it, which isnt bad if you have access to kosher salt, but with Iodised salt, you require a lot. Decent selection of beer My Guinness was perfect, my Grandmother's Blue Moon was perfect, but my Dad's Stella was flat. These guys are newly opened, so I know things wont be perfect right off the bat, So I'm excited on visiting again to see where this Restaurant goes!
While this restaurant seems to have new management the appeal remains the same. Many of the staff are the same and they have beautifully updated the interior. It feel more open and much brighter. The service I received was friendly and highly effective. The food still on point with an updated menu as well. Highly recommend!
