Profile

Take away the television (and most of the women), and you'll have a pretty good idea of what this pub looked like when it pulled its first pint back during the Civil War. Pete's retains a neighborhood atmosphere right down to the regulars' football pool. The intricately carved bar serves enough beers (including Pete's own brew, 1864 Ale) to slake all but the most pretentious thirsts, and the dense décor recalls an eccentric grandmother's attic. — Andrew Yamato

When i come to the city, i always make it to Pete's. The food, beer, service and customers are the best. I have been coming here for 26 years and can't see why the others have complaints. I like to look at all the famous people who frequented the establishment over the years with the pixs on the walls. I especially like the pic of James Braddock ! Never a complaint from me or anyone I came with. Love the place. Also like the walk around Gramercy Park.

Pete's is great if you're looking for a relaxing good time with good company. The bar has an impressive draft collection including its' own brew - 1864. I prefer to stick to my Yuengling draft (from philly, can't help it). Unfortunately, and this is the only downfall, the beer sometimes can be a little skunk if the draft has not been pouring smoothly all evening. I like that during HH they walk around with sample appetizers. Pete's also has an impressive food menu considering it's a bar. I've come here a couple times for lunch and its great during the summer when you can sit outside.
