Leave a ReviewI held an event in the second floor and everything went perfectly! Great atmosphere and service :)
Had an amazing time before the knicks game today against Houston ,sat at the rooftop bar and my bartender jack was amazing and couldn’t have had any better service. Will definitely come back before every event at the garden and hope to see him there
This place is a must ! Got a concert or game at MSG? Rutherfords the best place to pregame at ! Can’t go wrong with the chicken nachos if you’re a snacker like myself. One of the girls there Denise G makes the best margaritas perfect to pair with the nachos !!
