Pretty good restaurant and bacon tasting experience. I would not come here often, but definitely recommend it as an experience if you are in NY. Bacon tasting is great - I never knew I would like jalapeño flavored bacon!

So incredible. Quick bite, inventive menu, and interesting beverages. Needed a late night venue in Hell's Kitchen for a small team. Tater tots were standout. No sh!t, but the menu is over indexed on bacon, but not as bad as a menu if they only offered bacon steak.

Was looking for dinner options before seeing My Fair Lady at the Lincoln Center and remembering positive reviews of fellow Yelpers about a different BarBacon location, thought I'd give this one a shot. A super casual place. Simple, all-American wooden décor. A huge bar takes up a third of the whole inside seating area. Once you come in, a bartender greets you and tells you to choose any available table. Then, a waiter will come by and serve water and take your order. Our waitress was super sweet and helpful, bringing beer samples so we could choose the one we preferred. The prices are a bit steep, but we're in the heart of Manhattan, so a $23 burger is not out of the realm of extraordinary. We got $23 lamb burger and $21 barbacon burger. The lamb (with arugula on top and too little ranch dressing) was delicious & juicy, although we didn't taste any bacon in the patty at all. Unexpected combo with a big slab feta cheese (yuuum) and canned, whole tomatoes (surprisingly flavorful & great substitute for a sauce, making this burger juicier than the barbacon burger). The barbacon burger was drier, and the patty was twice the size of the lamb burger. Definitely a heavier option for those who are hungry. Three pieces of bacon for $5, to go along with the beer, was a bit steep a price. But the mapple smoked bacon was delicious. The bacon dusted fries which were served with the burgers were light and not oily, which was a plus. Wish they were more heavily covered in bacon dusting. Surprisingly, didn't feel bloated after such heavy and oily meal. That's a big one for me! Didn't have space for dessert, so I'd return to try the famous chocolate cover bacon.

I found this restaurant through yelp and had an early dinner here before a show a Terminal 5. The food was very good and the service was great! Our server was very attentive. We shared the chicharron nachos with pulled pork. They were very generous with the amount of pork in the dish. I had the sliders and tater tots as my entree. My boyfriend had the open-face chicken club. Everything was delicious. They have a nice sized drink menu. I really enjoyed the BarBacon old fashioned. This is a great restaurant to check out if you're in the area!

Had a pretty bad afternoon the day I went to Bar Bacon and I didn't even know this place existed until I discovered it nearby while I was on my phone. I was looking for something to lighten my mood and since it had a lot of reviews I decided to try it out. Boy what a treat this place turned out to be! If you haven't guessed already, Bar Bacon is a gastropub where Bacon is the theme (gimmick) here. What you might not know though (as I did not know) is that they serve a selection of bacon based cocktails with bacon served in them! It's a really cool experience eating bacon with bourbon or rum in your mouth and its honestly a tasty contrast. I was so enthralled with the bacon cocktails I did not try any other drinks but I really enjoyed what I got. They also give you a good portion size for the price they sell them (at least compared to other more touristy bars I have been too recently.) The food here was pretty good as well, though maybe the portions were a less generous. Entree food ranges from 13-20 dollars in range, from what I remember, and I wasn't particular impressed by the sandwich size I got. Regardless though I did really enjoy the BLTs here and the plentiful amount of chips was enough to fill me up so I still had a positive experience foodwise. Not only were the drinks and food good but I really enjoyed the environment and service here. As I usually travel and eat at restaurants solo I was able to instantly get a bar seat here and I was quite happy the bar area had full service. The bartenders were really friendly, very attentive to everyone around the bar and were fairly quick to respond. The vibe I got from the music and aesthetic here was upbeat... the exact vibe I was looking for that day. Overall Bar Bacon is fantastic. I know bacon lovers will really get a kick out of this place like I did. If you don't enjoy bacon, then don't worry because even if you remove that gimmick Bar Bacon is really enjoyable gastropub in its own right.

Having an entirely bacon-themed restaurant means a lot of hype to live up to, but BarBacon definitely delivered! I came here for dinner and a drink with my cousin while visiting for the night, and was super excited to try it. At 8:30pm on a Tuesday night, it was very lively and fun, with a fair amount of tables and the bar area in the center being pretty filled. I absolutely wanted a drink with bacon in it, so I got one of their signatures: the barbacon old fashioned that comes with an entire bacon strip floating in it. The drink was very tasty, and although I appreciated the bacon it was kind of weird with it covered in the drink. To eat, we started with their signature bacon flight- a couple strips of each of their 4 homemade bacons (I forgot some of the flavors, my bad!). Each was crisped well and super tasty, although they could have had stronger flavors because I had a bit of trouble distinguishing them. The star of the show, however, was definitely the barbacon burger that comes with two thick, delicious, guilty pleasure size slices of melt in your mouth bacon. The burger itself was big and tasty, cooked to a nice medium like I requested, but that oh so delicious bacon really overshadowed everything else. While I enjoyed the bacon flight and bacon cocktail, the burger is the one thing I would absolutely recommend here. I really enjoyed barbacon, from the food to the drinks to the fun bar atmosphere. Would totally go again for the burger as well as some of their other bacon enhanced dishes (the Kentucky fried bacon dishes sound life changing!)

I confess, we came here for the fried bacon. We tried it as an appetizer and it was good, just didn't blow me away. We were lucky to be here on taco Tuesday. The tacos were fantastic! We really loved them. I tried the fish and the grilled chicken. I really liked both of them. The grilled chicken had a lot of salsa verde which made it a bit spicy but the sour cream cooled it down. However, it was too spicy for hubby. I would definitely recommend getting the tacos. They were really loaded so two was enough for me. One of the kids got the bar bacon burger. She really liked it. The other kid got a blt which was huge. She really liked that too. One came with home made chips, one with french fries. Both were really good. Service was really slow but I literally think there was only one server the day we were there. Other than that, we really enjoyed our lunch here.
