Harlem Tavern

Harlem Tavern was welcomed immediately by big crowds when it joined Harlem's thriving nightlife scene, and it's easy to see why. The sprawling beer garden's extensive drink menu boasts wheat beers, ales and numerous imported and domestic beers, including local micro-brews and seasonal offerings. Food selections range from the typical bar fare, like burgers and wings, to high-end cuisine, including cedar-planked salmon and bourbon-braised beef short ribs. With its something-for-everyone atmosphere, Harlem Tavern is typically packed—particularly during Saturday and Sunday brunches, when a live jazz band is in the house.
