"We had a great experience at this pub, and I truly want to highlight how impressive the staff was. We were a little caught off guard at first because there was a $10 cover charge at the entrance due to an event happening that night — something we didn’t expect. However, once inside, everything completely changed in the best way. Despite the large crowd and the high volume of guests, the entire team (servers, bartenders, host, and the person at the door) was extremely organized, professional, and clearly well-trained on how to provide great service under pressure. That says a lot about the place. Our waitress was incredibly kind and patient, especially with my friends (they’re international visitors and communication wasn’t always easy). Even though there was a full event going on, the staff still managed to find us a table because our goal wasn’t the event — we were simply looking for a nearby place to eat after a long day. Honestly, our expectations were low since we were walk-ins, hungry and tired… but the team exceeded them. The food was really good, the prices were fair, and service was fast. Drinks came out quickly, and I also really appreciated the patience during payment — some of my friends’ international cards weren’t going through, and the staff handled it respectfully without making it uncomfortable. The atmosphere was definitely loud, but it made sense because there was a karaoke/event going on. Even though I’m not usually into loud places, this felt festive and fun — I even found myself singing along from our table. Big thank you to the entire team for being so welcoming and helpful. You made our night much easier, and we really appreciate it."

"This place is an absolute UNICORN. There aren't many places like it. This place is perfect if you're meeting friends for a drink after work, visiting NYC for your first time, looking to grab a pre-theater dinner, looking for a fancy cocktail, looking to grab a post-theater drink, visiting NYC for your 50th time, looking for a cold beer, looking for live music that actually sounds great, looking for a late night snack, looking to catch the game on a Saturday or Sunday, looking for a quiet lunch spot..... It literally is all those things and then some! And the food is not only good, is amazingly tasty (my personal favs are the Korean Chicken Sandwich, the Smash Burger, and the Bee My Honey Pizza). And that's only half the story. Wait until you meet the phenomenal staff. Fiato, Rich, and Sarah are just a few of the amazing bartenders who will dazzle you with their shaker skills or make sure that your beer never runs low. I've worked on 52nd Street for about 20 years and Hazwells has been a much needed addition to our neighborhood and has become a second home to myself and my coworkers. Any time I have family or friends visiting NYC, I always tell them to add this place to their list. It's definitely worth checking out for yourself."

"Been here three times now and I’m always impressed. The food is excellent! We typically order and split a few appetizers and have had and loved the truffle fries, arancini, chicken tenders, and more. The drinks are great too, especially the Flower Shop, (although the espresso martini flight is pricey and not worth it in my personal opinion, but I am picky with my espresso martinis). It’s the perfect spot to grab dinner before or after a show."

"We came here for the dueling pianos, which was a bit of a misnomer, but we'd come back for the food. The seared tuna was no doubt the best I've had in my life. Absolutely outstanding. The cheeseburger was that perfect gooey, cheesy, guilty pleasure kind of burger. Drinks were fantastic. 10/10. Recommend!"

"I stumbled in here on my way to the MJ show and absolutely loved the ambiance — the music, food, and architecture were all great! The only downside was that even though we were seated at a table, we constantly had to get up and order at the bar, which was a bit annoying. Other than that, it’s a really nice spot and definitely worth checking out."
