Point Break

is a nice place. the bartenders seem to be good bartenders. the food is good… the service is good for he location… I Recommend for a good midtown escapade…

Pretty standard mid-​town pub. A little more of a divier feel than average generic pub. Kind of like Foley’s but without the jerseys and a more open feel to the space. Doesn’t get too crazy post work which is when I came. The kind of place where you’d become a regular.

Great place to come on a lunch break, love the wing and the security guard is the homie, sexy new bartender. So so on the music.

This is smack dab in the heart of midtown. While there wasn’t too much that differentiated it from all of the other nearby dive bars in terms of atmosphere, but the service was awesome and staff was super friendly.
As for food I thought it was solidly staple (I had a build your own burger). A safe bet if you want an after work happy hour or to grab a quick lunch.
Not a place for you if your not into large evening bar crowds.

Friendly staff, a with good amount of room; it can/​does get crowded at times. It has 2 areas upstairs, one of which has another bar area and 2 beer pong tables, where they also provide balls and cups
The HH specials are great ($ 4 mixed well drinks) and the $ 6 starters are a good value.
The habanero BBQ wings are excellent and my favorite menu item. The wings are meaty, juicy, with a slight crispy texture, and a nice mix of sweet and spicy.
Luckily my office is pretty close so this is our go-​to spot. Long live «Swayze’s»!!

Fun divey bar in midtown. This is a great location for your work happy hour. There’s 2.5 floors of fun, the .5 is for the balcony area in the back of the first floor.
On the second floor there are more games, the main floor is great for just grabbing drinks. Happy hour prices are good. If you’re looking for some cheap fun make sure to stop point break.

They held us the surf-​board shaped table upstairs in the back. There was a nice beer selection, though nothing spectacular. The coconut shrimp WAS spectacular. At $ 12 for half that many shrimp it was a bit pricey… but sooooo good. We also had the «Storm of the Century» mixed platter: a nice sampler and great for groups.
So far, three stars, right. The fourth star? ROSA, our Dominican waitress. Holy vaca! She was great! Beautiful, on the spot always, terrific sense of humor, «Give that waitress a raise!» we say… or at least tip her a whole lot! Her only fault was her refusal to kill the girl with the squeally voice at the next table. Ok, we’ll let her slide on that one. –Drink Club NYC is a roving group of NYC drinkers, a different bar every week.

Last Thursday Night I met my weekly Drink Club group (
) at Point Break. What a pleasant find in this crowded area! We sat upstairs in an informal bar setting where we ordered beers and a most delicious bowl of mussels with bread. Also notable were the coconut shrimp, sliders and a large mixed platter great for sharing. Our waitress, Rosa, was most attentive and had a friendly helpful manner. She made sure we were enjoying our evening and asked frequently how everything was. Point Break is an oasis in midtown. A place to get away and enjoy fair prices. Just wished
the beer selection was more elaborate!
Please don’t review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you’re connected in any way to the owner or employees.

Always a great crowd and vide and sweet Jess the bartender with the tat arm sleeve took care of me! Get the sweet chilly wings! Wooo!

Great service, great food, and a nice atmosphere. And they make use of their heating system ladies you can come here :) it’s after work place mostly guys but it was still ok.

If you like beer, fun, or the movie Point Break, hit up the Point Break bar. Plenty of action on 3 floors. Great selection of beers and a friendly, attentive staff. There’s sports on TV and a comfortable, cool vibe.
I stopped for a cold one on a business trip to unwind and if I’m back in the area I would definitely return.

Rare to find a dive bar in midtown, but here’s one, and it’s pretty solid. It gets really cramped up after work but drinks are cheap, atmosphere is casual, and food is decent. They have a 2^nd floor for private parties, perfect for work events.
If you’re looking for something down and dirty this is it, if you’re looking to impress, I would suggest elsewhere.

Happy hour 7 days a week = cheapest drinks in the area. Came here on a Saturday night and took advantage of the $ 4 drafts on tap. Music was fun and food was you typical bar food. We had the sampler which include wings, popcorn shrimp, quesadilla and mozzarella sticks. Also ordered the buffalo chicken pizza which was surprisingly delicious and loaded with chicken. Don’t forget to «check in» on Unilocal for a free shot with your food order!

Happy hour = cheap drinks
Environment = 3 floors means you can decide between a crowd of people, a table with friends, or beer pong upstairs
Service = Jessica the server was so friendly and attentive. Made coming here even more worth the trip!

This bar is adequate. Went here with a medium-​sized party and we were directed to the second floor. We shared the space with several other groups. It has a surfer (surprise!) theme that makes it feel like a dive. It was loud and popular on a Wednesday night.
The draft selection is basic but fine. We got a couple pitchers for the table. The appetizers are mostly fried but everything was good. Fan favorites were the fried mac and cheese balls, thick cut fries, and nachos.
It feels like a fratty happy hour mid-​town bar filled with bankers and the like. Not my scene but with good food to snack on and a fun vibe, I’m sure it’ll make some very happy.

Oh my god, the mac and cheese and the teriyaki chicken wings are amazing!
They have 3 floors so there is plenty of space, though it will get crowded. Beer pong is available on second floor. The third floor has some tables as well as couches for smaller parties.
Also be sure to check their daily happy hour specials!

I recently discovered this bar came across it because I was looking for a something different to try for happy hour.
Walking in the place doesn’t seem like much what first catches your eye is the funky decorations if u recognize the name u know the movie of course … Kinda cool it was a great movie.
We walked in & found a spot to chill by the bar, not long after we were able to get seats at the bar happy hour specials are pretty decent good time 4 – 7 they offer mix drinks & draft beer for $ 4 how can u go wrong?
Here’s how $ 4 dollars for a mix drink u probably don’t expect much & that was the case with my friends drink she had a Whiskey & ginger ale ahh needless to say it lacked alcohol.
I did the smart thing & stuck to beer I had the pumpkin beer on tap think it was Sam Adams but honestly can’t remember for sure, beer was good can’t go wrong with beer.
Don’t forget to check in through Unilocal u get a free PB shot (only if u order food) this was like drinking liquid candy too sweet but it’s alright it was free.
After having a few drinks we wanted something to pick on tried the Saucy Fries these are Belgian style fries with truffle mayo, garlic ketchup and chipotle aioli not bad delicious truffle mayo, good garlic ketchup ok chipotle aioli.
As for the place itself decent size bar & seating area below the second floor was closed there is additional seating above.
Loud music, good prices because of happy hour service at the bar was ok since it does get crowded it’s a bit slow bartenders don’t seem to pay too much attention but I did noticed a difference after 7 since the place practically empties out then.
Over all the place is not bad good enough to spend a few hours close enough to my job where chances are I’ll stop by from time to time.

Great place to drink, not to eat. I came here with a few coworkers for Happy Hour. Their $ 4 beer offer for HH was enough to get us in the door. We were pretty hungry as well, so we decided to order food. We were seated almost immediately, but after that, our waiter was slow. He didn’t come back until 15 minutes later, when we were starving and still waiting on our drink orders. I ordered the mac and cheese wedges to eat. then came another long waiting period. It was about 15 minutes before we received our food. I was really disappointed when I saw the mac and cheese wedges. First, they were balls not wedges, but they were so small. Six little balls with barely any mac and cheese in there. Very disappointing for the $ 8 I paid. I’ve had them elsewhere that were bigger and better.
Overall, for drinking at the bar, the place is great. Very chill place and have great HH deals. Bartenders at the bar are very attentive. Food though, knocked it down a star. Grab food somewhere else.

I am not sure how this place gives off a beach surfing feeling someone said. To me its more of a drinking party place.
The service was nice, food was good, and everything wasn’t too expensive at all. Waiter was friendly and bar was fast. Happy hour deals are not bad.
However my free shot for checking in on Unilocal tasted like water. And we decided to leave.

This place is the go-​to spot for myself and a lot of my co-​workers. We love the service there and the all-​around vibe.
The food is great and the portions are SUPER generous. The appetizers are affordable and are fit for two. I’ve ordered the cheesy tator tots (they effin have tater tots man!)
My favorite bartender is Kristy! Her southern hospitality is so welcoming and its one of the main reasons I return again and again.
