Kenn's Broome Street Bar

I am in NYC several times a year. This is my absolute favorite place to go. The staff, from owner to cook, are friendly and welcoming. I live in NC and, while there for my birthday in January, they brought me a slice of cake and had the entire bar sing happy birthday to me. Paul is the absolute best bartender of all time. I cannot say enough good things about this place. Plus, they have excellent food. Thank you to the Broome Street family for welcoming me and always making me feel like a local.

Great atmosphere and a really nice pub! The bartender from Chile was very friendly and welcoming. We even exchanged a few words about football and the places we come from, which made the experience even warmer. Highly recommend!

A wonderful restaurant and pub. New owners but it hasn't changed its wonderful food and atmosphere . There is so much history linked to this famous pub. The new Aussie owner was a charm. I just wished I could get the recipe for that best ever Pea Soup.????

The waiter got mad at me for ordering French fries at the bar when I was sitting with a group in the back. His associate gave me a choice to either close out or continue ordering at the bar, only to be hassled by a rude server. They literally gave my fries to another customer in spite. Sad because the bartender totally understood the scenario but was powerless. These servers are out of control. And you know what… Kenn’s is a glorified dive bar! Not a restaurant. Get real or at least get better servers who won’t go to war with a customer over ordering fries at the bar. I told them to forget the order and take it off my bill. Literally this server passed up money all to prove a stupid point, which was even warranted to begin with because I got permission from another staff member to keep my tab at the bar. So lame.

A sudden rain storm and hungry bellies had us heading for a place to escape. As we read the menu outdoors, a woman passing by said “best burgers in New York”. That was enough of a testament for me. I felt like I’d stepped back in time to pubs in England and Australia. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with colourful chalkboards spelling out the food and drinks plus the cosiness of the wooden chairs and tables. We were immediately seated when we walked in and we endeavoured to dry off. They do hamburgers differently here - in pita bread. I asked for “chips” with mine when I should’ve said “fries” a common mistake we Australians make in the USA. The burgers were flavoursome with a texture I’m not used to, yet still tasty. To go with our burgers we had margaritas. Service was very good. Decor inviting. Outdoor dining available - which would be lovely hadn’t it been raining. Toilets antiquated yet somewhat charming. We will return.
