Glenroy Tavern

This is one of our after work watering holes and I can say that its grown on me.
Not the most modern décor but its has all the components of a true bar:
Experiences bar tenders
Strong drinks
Top shelf
Bottom shelf
Drink specials
Outside patios (faves for my smokers)
I love that this place is not pretentious and doesn’t pretend to be something that its not. It’s a cool spot to come and grab a drink or two… or five and let loose. No one is there to impress anyone just sip o some adult beverages and surround themselves with cool people.

I love the Bronx but the service sucks
2 dollar Tuesday’s are the worst
Maybe they should hire a younger faster bartender
That would help…

Living in the Bronx you very rarely find a high quality bar and that’s just what Glenroy is. From the outside it looks tiny but it opens up to two rooms both with full bar and even an outdoor patio in the back. The biggest surprise is not just the secret of it’s size but the amazingly great food. I went in for after work drinks with a my friend because it was local. I wasn’t very hungry but just wanted typical bar food. Ordered my drink (which was strong… just how I like em) and asked for a menu. Shocker not your typical bar food. But at that time I was skeptical so I ordered a chicken cutlet fried with an order of waffle fries and my friend ordered a batch of wings. Delicious! I almost regretted not being a little more adventurous in my choice. The presentation of the food seemed out of place based of off of the outdoor appearance but was still appreciated and the quality of food and service did not go unnoticed. I strongly recommend stopping by.

Diamond in the rough! I was in the bronx on business and stopped in this place for lunch. From the outside looked like you average local bar. Inside the place was very clean. The food? OUSTSTANDING! I was figuring to stop ion just have a beer and a burger but a couple of items not typically on a bar menu caught my attention. No idea but Salmon A la parilla just seemed liked an un-​obvious choice but I had to go with it. It came with a salad and choice starch (I went baked potato) Side salad comes out and its in a typical wood bowl but did not look typical. Real nice presentation, something you would think you would find at a high end small plates joint. The salmon comes out and was just as dressed up as the salad. The fish was a generous portion that was cooked to perfection. The flavors i cant even describe, it was delicious! Boy was i ever shocked. This place would be a great place to go to before a Yankee game anytime or if you heading down the major degan its a must stop.
