"The Jerk Chicken and Wages for brunch was especially good."
"The food is outstanding — to call it ‘good bar food’ would be a tremendous understatement — it’s excellent, delicious food period."
"The burger is killer."
"The food is really great."
"Consistently fantastic meals."
Cons:

Ambiance
Pros:
"Doesn't feel mobbed or overly busy, but definitely feels like a happening place."

"Low noise so it was nice to be able to talk while eating."
"Cool spot for quick drink with some friends or after seeing a show at Shetler Studios."
"Nice and quiet bar, where you can actually hear your friend talk."
"The atmosphere makes it feel homey and inviting."
"Loads of atmosphere."
Cons:
"With the place full it can feel tight getting through and not very comfortable while seated."
"The place looks basically like a bar from the 1980s (may be) but the vibe is not the 1980 it is hip but they are paying the homage to the Hell's Kitchen and its roots."
"The place can be much better if it wasn't for bad decorations with ivy all over the ceiling covering the exposed beams."
"Do not dare enter if you value your hearing or being able to hold a conversation with other humans while you're here."
"This place is quiet noisy even with very few guests. ( I would say poor acoustics )."
"Nice atmosphere but the heat was on full blast and paired with the large groups of people, made the temperature a bit hot."
"Painfully loud. There isn't a speck of fabric nor acoustic panel in the joint, making it unbearably loud most times."
Price
Pros:
"Though the burgers are a bit pricy, they're certainly very filling and can be considered a shared plate when paired with an extra side or appetizer."
"The pricing is fair for how good the food is and how much you get."
"With good portions, reasonably priced drinks, and great happy hour discounts, what else do you need to know?"
"The drinks are incredibly reasonable."
"Good beer and wine (happy hour is 11am to 8pm)."
"Also they don't have a 'Covid recovery charge' which I experienced in NY."
"Great drinks."
Cons:
"Overpriced and frankly the bottomless mimosas are meh at best."
"At $24 there’s no excuse."
"But food is way too expensive even by New York standards."
"For $42+ /pp is disappointing."
"Food is incredibly overpriced. ONE PIECE OF FRENCH TOAST WAS $18 WITH NO SIDES. IT WAS MUSHY AND TOO SWEET."
"Had the spinach and artichoke dip and it was about as bland as plain noodles, pretty disappointing for $17."
"The ($11) bottomless mimosa was alright (maybe a little expensive? But maybe it had to be because it was bottomless 😄)."
Management
Pros:
"The manager William is extremely accommodating."
"The manager (William), is super nice, and very attentive to your needs."
"The manager Will and wait staff are the most down to earth, amazing people."
"The manager William was AWESOME."
"To top it off, one of the managers (possibly owner?) checked on us a couple times throughout the night and was super friendly."
"Food and Service is great though, so hopefully someone passes this message onto their management."
"After moving into the neighborhood, we explored most of the local bars and always find ourselves returning to Alfie's. Staff is friendly, all types of beers, great hot toddy during the winter."
Cons:
"The manager really rubbed us the wrong way when we made a reservation."
"The manager really rubbed us the wrong way when we made a reservation and she sat us outside in the cold in a tight space."
"Too bad the hostess was snobby."
"Yesterday Nov.6. was such a perfect day for us except for the treatment we got from the hostess- a tall, pretty dark-haired woman."
"Being completely honest the outside chairs were not very comfortable and started hurting after a while."
"Be aware this company violates their merchant agreement and will charge you a fee for credit card usage that you don't see until the end of the meal."
"Do note they charge you a higher fee if you use a credit card."
