Harlem Public
About This Spot
Nestled in the heart of Harlem along Broadway, Harlem Public invites you into a space where casual comfort meets an effortlessly lively spirit. As you step inside, there’s an unspoken ease—like arriving at a favorite local spot where familiar faces might mingle with new friends. The hum of indie music blends with the occasional cheer from sports games on screen, setting a backdrop that’s both welcoming and animated without ever feeling overbearing.
The atmosphere here unfolds at a relaxed pace, perfect for winding down after work or gathering for an easy night out. It’s the kind of place where the bar buzzes with good-natured conversations and laughter, and where the staff’s warmth makes you feel like part of the neighborhood fabric. Whether you’re settled at the bar or tucked into a cozy corner, the vibe strikes a balance between unpretentious and spirited.
Harlem Public’s menu mirrors this laid-back energy, bridging classic pub favorites with playful twists that invite exploration. There’s a satisfying crunch to the tater tots that locals swear by, while signature burgers bring a creative edge—think unexpected pairings that surprise and delight without fuss. And cocktails here are crafted with a thoughtful hand, often becoming a quiet highlight as you sip and savor the evening’s rhythm.
This is a spot that thrives on human moments: catching up with an old friend over a crisp cider, sharing a basket of fried avocado or nachos, or pausing between bites to soak in the vibrant, unpolished charm of Harlem itself. Whether it’s a spontaneous after-work stop or a planned meet-up, Harlem Public carries a familiar pulse that feels just right, time after time.

Harlem Public is my go-to spot in the neighborhood. The cocktails are delicious and reasonably priced ($13-17), they have a good selection of beers and ciders which are also well priced (~$7), the music and vibes are great, and the staff are friendly. Also their tater tots are addictive. They usually have sports games going on the TV, and indie music playing in the background. My only criticism is that most of the burgers need a little more acidity. If youre getting food and drinks you can expect to spend around $30.

This was a nice little spot for a casual dinner. They have a decent selection of craft beers on tap and a good menu of pub food including some creative burgers. I got the peanut butter. My first time having peanut butter on a burger but have to say, along with the ample bacon, it compliments it quite nicely. Nice big beefy burger as well. The tater tots are quite good too - nice and crunchy. I’d come back if in the neighborhood

Took my brother here before he left back to Cali... We started about 5pm but by 7, the place got packed for a Wed night. I always like to try either different beer or cider and this time I tried the Black Widow Cider which was delicious. The food was good nothing spectacular but good for gastropubs. Cool place to kick back with friends and enjoy some good drinks and food. Place gets pretty loud so be prepared to talk loudly even when the person is on the other side of table

I randomly came here one day after work. The service, the food and the drinks were great. My puppy tagged along so I sat outside to eat. I ordered the purple rain drink and the chicken tenders. My bf and his friend ordered burgers. Yo, the chicken tenders was the BEST tenders I ever had. And as for the drink, it was so good and so smooth. I loved it. I recommend coming here on a day after work.

Went on a Saturday night so the place was PACKED! Still had a fun time and my craving was fulfilled. I used to order from them a lot when they still had a spot a Northend which was MUCH closer to me than this location but craved their Poprocks marg and tater tots so much that I figured to take the trip and def worth the trip!

An amazing neighbourhood spot, with hangover brunch food, awesome cocktails, and a fun feel. We’ve come many times and it’s a really great experience. The service is at times slightly slow, but servers are friendly, and the food is excellent. Edited Nov 2025 with more photos: we still love coming here, and while the Doritos quesadilla remains among the all-time favorites, the peanut butter burger was great and the Irish coffee martini was excellent.

I ordered the “Mac and Steez” and the “Crispy Beer Battered Fish Sandwich”. Everything was absolutely delicious! You very rarely taste food this good anymore. Someone in the kitchen really understands complex flavor profiles. Harlem Public - please keep doing what you’re doing.

Was on the way out the city. Decided to stop and grab some food a little later in the night around 11 pm stumbled on Harlem Public. Great atmosphere, great music, great service. Grabbed some wings and fries. Awesome wings, good size wings, crispy, really good sauce. Only let down was the fries bunch of little pieces, might have been because we were there a little late. But overall great experience. Will visit again.
