Smith’s Corner

Three stars for a fave bar back open with the same layout and the same laid back feel. Drinks aren’t bad, but what is are the nachos. Listed under classics, these are far from it. We used to come to Smith’s pretty often to watch soccer and always got these delicious, vegetarian nachos, soaked in cheese and perfect. Now, order without the beef chili and you get a handful of plain tortilla chips with some cheese that covers maybe half. Condiments on the side, as usual, but it just wasn’t enough. Love the bar and since it just reopened I’ll give it another shot, but Dalton’s, Southern Hospitality, NY Beer Co– all have drinks, TVs with soccer and nachos that are much better and within a block. Servers were very nice.

Reopened and packed! So happy this place was rescued. A favorite among the stalwarts. Can’t wait to visit it again.

Smith’s doesn’t belong in New York. An extra-​terrestrial force seems to have flown over middle america, carved this horrible bar out of a trailer park, and dropped it off in the middle of times square. The clientele apparently couldn’t escape, so they came along.
This is a terrible bar, but I actually had a good time during Tuesday night karaōke with a huge group of people, so it gets more than one star.
Also, last night’s cab driver claims that they have good brisket sandwiches. I can not and will not ever verify this.

Smith’s is another crappy Times Square restaurant/​bar destination. I haven’t had the food here nor would I really want to since the atmosphere of this place really doesn’t inspire an appetite. The drinks are about average price but they do make some decent shots. The real reason to come here is Tuesday night karaōke, which is the only reason this review is getting more than 1 star. The song selection is not too bad and the crowd is usually fun and gets into the songs. The only problem is there’s only one TV screen with the words and it’s on the side from the «stage» area so it’s a bit awkward from a technical perspective. Sadly, karaōke is only on Tuesday nights so unless they have something else worthwhile on other nights of the week that I’m not aware of I’d give this place a pass.

Divey and not so crowded despite its prime location. Not as dirty as the previous review suggests, but it aint clean either.
