“ GMT Tavern is a true gem in Greenwich Village. It is one of the few remaining quality pubs downtown that strikes the perfect balance between atmosphere, hospitality, and great food and drinks. I've been coming here for years, whether for a pint and conversation, post-marathon gatherings, or work events, and it never disappoints. Unlike many downtown spots that feel like nightclubs or dives, GMT has the charm of a classic London pub—sophisticated yet unpretentious, with a welcoming and down-to-earth vibe. It’s a fantastic spot to grab a break from the hyper-commercial, often overwhelming energy of SoHo, whether you're visiting NYU, shopping nearby, or just looking for a relaxed place to unwind. The beer selection is excellent, and their Guinness is poured to perfection. It’s also a great place to watch soccer, with TVs that enhance the experience without dominating the atmosphere. Last week, we had a fantastic server—attentive, professional, and friendly—and everything we ordered was on point. The giant pretzel was a standout, a perfectly executed pub snack that paired beautifully with a pint. With cozy indoor seating and outdoor tables when the weather’s nice, GMT is the kind of spot you keep coming back to. I don’t live in NYC anymore, but I try to drop in whenever I’m in town. We’ll definitely host more gatherings here—the Village needs more spots like this! ”
“ Best bar with the best atmosphere in York City! Great location in the heart of the Village. Great food, the best staff and great selection of drinks. Highly recommend a visit! ”
“ Love the vibe of this place. Def has that British pub feel. High ceilings with cold beer and high backed chairs. Cheers ! ... ”
“ The outside setting at GMT was very well organized and situated in a way that will bring comfort to any individual that dines here. Maybe it was the little candle on every table that seem to glisten and cast a glow, making it a great back drop for a romantic movie. I ordered a Stella, which came in a nice tall sexy glass. It made me want to take a sip and savor the flavor and drink my beer slowly. It wasn’t a Wine but it could have been. The glass makes it a great imposter. I ordered a medium rare Hawaiian burger and fries. It came with a sliced pine apple on top. It was picture perfect. I honestly had to take pictures before sinking my teeth into that juicy burger. The side of fries was just an added touch of a reminder that GMT might be fancy but can give service like the classy Tavern it is. They also follow the Social Distancing Guidelines set by the CDC. Giving 6 feet of social distancing space for everyone to enjoy themselves. The waitstaff was great,attentive and serviced my every need. They did not skip a beat. I will definitely becoming back with friends to wine and dine here. If you happened to be in the Village. You must stop here before you go anywhere else. You will leave with a smile on your face. ”
