Recreation Bar is an absolutely amazing place! My friends and I always have a ton of fun there! Shout-out to Josh who is an awesome bartender! He always takes great care of us and is super knowledgeable too. What makes this place unique, is that you can indulge in a no. of games for free – there’s foosball, basketball, shuffleboard, giant Connect 4, bowling, etc.

My friends and I stayed at the Moxy for a few days as absolutely loved it, the bar is a perfect area to grab a drink and socialize. If you end up visiting make sure you see Josh! He’s amazing. We’re already planning a trip back

We went there on Saturday to meet a family member visiting from Italy. The open space seating and ambiance of the bar/restaurant was perfect. The open layout, scenery and entertainment games added to the overall feel of a studio restaurant. The service was great and we had no issue with re-ordering drinks or food. The wait staff was friendly and accommodating. The food was perfectly portioned and very good. The coffee, espresso and mixed drinks were all good sized portions and very good. We had no complaints about anything. Highly recommend Recreation Bar.

We had our basketball-themed wedding reception at Moxy’s Recreation half court basketball court and it was a slam dunk! It was the perfect blend of playful and stylish. Our guests loved the vibe—it felt like a party, a game night, and a love fest all rolled into one. Every moment felt authentic to us.
Shoutout to Joe, Nikita, and Conrad who’s our absolute MVPs! They went above and beyond even up to our last minute request of table set up and as simply making sure we’re well hydrated at the end of our after party. Their flexibility, professionalism, and genuine excitement for our celebration meant the world to us.
If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind venue in NYC with an unforgettable vibe and a team that will treat your celebration like their own championship game, Moxy Recreation is it.

I had an incredible time there! The food was absolutely delicious, and the cocktails were outstanding. What impressed me the most was the bartender’s creativity … he really nailed my taste preferences. I believe his name is Juan, and he was amazing!! full of energy, super cheerful, and very courteous with me and my friends.
You all have to check this place out I had such a fantastic experience!

Came here on Saturday to eat! Food was great – nice portions and flavor. Brunch is offered on Sundays and soon to be offered on Saturday. Love this spot because of all the games – foosball, connect 4, basketball & much more you can enjoy at this spot.
Definitely recommend for the football season for a tailgate!

Super cute and fun space for a group / friends. I loved the atmosphere. The game area is a key feature and I think it’s well outfitted. Be forewarned, food and drinks *are* overpriced imo, but I guess you should expect that at a hotel lol. I would have preferred the music selection be a little edgier, but I also went knowing that they would probably have a neutral vibe being that it’s a hotel as well.

We dropped in here for happy hour and were very pleased. Josh took great care of us. Food: flatbread pepperoni pizza, falafel sliders and chips & guac. Drinks: beer, wines and vadkacran. My favorite part: a basketball court that can drop in on. Will be back.
