Phebe's Tavern & Grill

“This place is amazing, our bartender Denny was attentive and professional and kind. We had the steak salad and steak sandwich both delicious! They have a great pint of Guinness. They had the games on for the World Cup. Watermelon marg was phenomenal, they have frozen pornstar martini. Denny plays the smiths and the stone roses. Highly recommend coming back next time I'm in the east village!”

“Phebe's is a super nice local Bar & Restaurant down in the Astor Place area of NYC. The service at the bar was great and our spinach and artichoke dip was awesome! This place is very dog friendly as well!”

“Lovely spot with a cozy, neighborhood feel. The restroom was immaculate, which I always appreciate. The French onion soup is the real deal, deeply caramelized onions with that perfect sweet-savory balance and a generous layer of melted cheese. Fries were excellent too: natural-cut, crispy outside, fluffy inside, and clearly made with care. Service was friendly and attentive without hovering. Definitely a place I’d come back to.”

“This place was quite busy on a Tuesday night. They had trivia going on and I enjoyed the food. Bonus points for the waffle fries and they’re willingness to make them extra crisp before you! A fun pub and a great place to hang out.”

“((4.25 stars)) Phebe's is a fairly large tavern/bar --the crowd can be Bengal Fans during NFL season to a mix of college-ish and post-college crowds during happy hours and nights. haven't been here for a minute -- as rooting for the Pats here would be a no-no at Phebes...sorry Joe Burrow! ha. anyway, the space is a casual vibes tavern with two bars and has that warm dark-worn worn-in pub feel to it (yes, i know "pubs" and "taverns" are considered different, but that is my faux pas to own). it was all tastefully holiday decorated when i was there and i appreciate places that embrace the holidays and are festive. stopped here for a late lunch (who says breakfast has to be the most important meal of the day) when one can enjoy a quality cheeseburger and fries with a beverage. the Classic Burger comes with hand-cut fries. the burger is very good. a fat meaty well-seasoned burger patty on a sesame bun. ordered it medium-rare and no surprise, it was cooked proficiently with the American cheese being melty. lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles served on the side. while smash burgers are all the rage--traditional burgers like the ones at Phebes are still damn good and make for an enjoyable lunch. the French fries are hand-cut and fried to crispy goodness with soft potat-ey insides. the service was friendly enough and everything went smoothly from start to finish. forgot Phebe's offers lunch and it's a great option if you're in the East Village and want a good sit-down meal from bar comfort classics like burgers to more ambitious plates like roasted salmon. the lunch vibe is a bit more chill and relaxed. but except the energy and volume to be up when it's evening or after and couple in sports seasons as there are a good amount of screens here if you're looking to catch a game while you eat or drink. and obviously there are a good amount of happy hour specials if you're seeking an adult beverage after work! don't sleep on the food, here, as Phebe's isn't just any old bar.”
