Leave a ReviewUne bière, un burger, un superbowl ça fait le job !<br>Service au bar et moment de sport intense, comme les gaufres au poulet qui sont très piquantes attention aux enfants !
Cornerstone Tavern is a cozy, noteworthy gem in the league of sports bars in NYC—whether it be wandering in after a long day in the hustle and bustle, meeting up with friends, catching up on some football, testing your knowledge at trivia nights, and my favorite: karaoke nights! There’s something about belting out bops in a timeless, tavern style venue that takes away the nerves of singing your heart out. With less ego, and more community (contrary to some karaoke spots I’ve been to that literally have patrons who critique how you sing—like, really Ed?), I love how the host makes everyone feel encouraged and comfortable, handing over the mic like a passing of the baton, and supporting every singer along with the crowd. I was so moved in singing November Rain, and these two British lads were so kind and even shook my hand. I had such a wonderful time, and appreciate the times I’ve occasionally found myself at Cornerstone Tavern, with an amazing team of bartenders and staff overall who create quite the legacy in Turtle Bay. These folks work so hard, probably with very long hours, but nonetheless treat their customers like family. When I was getting tired, one bartender Matt even asked if I was ok, while a fellow patron offered to braid my poofy hair. Now that’s community! Thank you all for cheering me up, and creating such an awesome space. Happy Holidays!
