What People Say

Guests rave about the trendy, upscale atmosphere and friendly bartenders who know their way around a cocktail shaker. Many highlight the convenient Midtown location and call out the bar’s chill crowd and solid playlist. The drink menu gets high marks for variety and quality, and reviewers love the upbeat but not overwhelming vibe that makes it easy to talk, laugh, and enjoy.

Areas for Improvement

While Berk’s Bar hits a lot of high notes, some guests mention that it can get crowded during peak hours — not surprising for a Midtown hotspot. Seating may be limited if you arrive close to showtime, so plan to come a little early to snag your spot.

If you're heading to a concert and want tasty drinks, a stylish crowd, and fast service just blocks from the action, Berk’s Bar is a no-brainer.
