About this restaurant

Good for groups
Neighbourhood gem
Lively

Opened in 2010, Mason Jar NYC has always been about experiencing world-class BBQ, a plethora of craft and imported beers, and the finest bourbons available, all in the heart of New York City.

But most importantly, we believe that Mason Jar is a place to relax and feel at home, even in the middle of the busiest city in the world. As our offerings have expanded, we still keep one simple promise at the heart of our business:

"We treat every dish as a home-cooked meal, and treat every customer like a guest in our own home.".

We placed a reservation which was confirmed twice by email. When we showed up, on time and on the correct date, the restaurant was closed. There was no notice of the closure provided to us by the restaurant or by opentable. There was no follow-up message from either opentable or the restaurant regarding the closure. A very disappointing experience. Opentable requires me to rate things like food and atmosphere in order to post this. Since we have no idea what the food and atmosphere were like we've rated them neutrally.

We stumbled across the Bkln location (didn't eat there) but decided to give the Manhattan version a try. it wasn't horrible, it just wasn't special. First off, it was loud. Second the atmosphere was a little hmmm -- how to describe -- a bit like a college campus hangout -- wooden tables in booths, large flat-screen TVs and, did I say loud? as for the food, we ordered deviled eggs and fried pickles as starters. the deviled eggs were pretty good. the fried pickles -- not so much. they were chips not spears and very (too) salty. As for entrees, I had the ribs -- good, not great. one friend had the brisket -- a bit fatty, but good flavor. another had the chicken and waffles -- I didn't try, but it didn't look particularly appetizing. Our server was great -- attentive without being fawning. All in all -- I wouldn't go back. there are too many good restaurants in ny to go back to one that's 'meh'. but, again, it wasn't horrible.

Terrible service. Waitress didn't bring our drinks for 25 mins. After my boyfriend went to the kitchen to inform them. Loud, no silver wear on the table or sauce (we grabbed our own from another table). Almost walked out
