The Tailor Public House: A Garment District Gastropub by MSG
The Tailor Public House is a two-level gastropub at 505 8th Avenue in the Garment District, a few steps from Madison Square Garden and Penn Station. It blends traditional pub warmth with wall-to-wall screens, making it a natural pre-game and post-work anchor in a transit-heavy stretch of Midtown.
The kitchen leans into comfort food with a few twists — think red velvet waffles with fried chicken alongside burgers, wings and other pub staples — backed by craft beer and cocktails. Live music nights, including Scottish and Irish sets, add character to the room.
The Happy Hour
Happy hour runs Monday through Friday in the afternoon, with reduced prices on beer, wine and cocktails. Given the location, it’s built for catching a drink before an event at the Garden or unwinding after a commute-hour crush; the late 4am close means the deal window is just the opening act.
The Room
A spirited two-level pub with exposed brick, dark wood and screens covering the walls for sports. The vibe skews lively and casual — comfortable for a solo pint at the bar or a big group before an event.
