The Point Tavern

Our server was friendly, kind and easy to talk with. The restaurant looks great and has three separate sections: the bar area, dining area, and what looks like a dining hall/party room. We ordered the Forest Ave roast beef sandwich and the fried shrimp appetizer with bang bang sauce. The shrimp had a nice crunch, and the bang bang sauce was good, but its flavor was a bit mild and plain; some garnish like chives can definitely elevate this appetizer further! Our sandwich unfortunately came without the bacon jam and maple bourbon, which meant it was just roast beef double dunked with Gruyère cheese. Unfortunately we didn't realize it until near the end, and although our waitress apologized and brought us a side of the bacon jam, by then we only had a quarter of it left which was a bummer. Th

The place is really cool exactly how I imagined a true American pub! 🍺 When I first walked in, the bartender and waitress thought I was picking up a to-go order 😂 but once I told them I was there to eat, the waitress immediately apologized and welcomed me to sit down. The service was just what I was hoping for she was super polite, but also friendly and down-to-earth, which I really liked. The food was amazing too that Portobello sandwich was on another level! This is now officially my favorite spot for lunch on Staten Island. Highly recommend this place to anyone who wants good food and a real pub vibe.

First time eating here on New Year’s Day! Great Roast Beef Sandwich the meat was so tender and juicy. Disco tots were delicious as well and Irish Cider! 10 out 10!

This is a very squared-away neighborhood tavern with fantastic food and friendly people. The Point is known for their roast beef and for good reason. The first time I had the Pointer sandwich I ate the entire thing - rare for me, but it was just so delicious. And the place is immaculate; if you look behind the bar you'll see supplies neatly stowed in little plastic bins and the entire establishment is very clean.

Brennan & Carr, I do believe you have finally met your match. New York City's finest and best Roast Beef Sandwich may be in Staten Island. What's the secret at the Point Tavern in Staten Island? They keep things simple! This review is based on my visit this past Saturday Evening - 21 June 2025. Bartender Mike is a true Mensch, if that's even possible, in a place like Staten Island, but he was truly a gem and kept the drinks flowing. This is truly a neighborhood watering hole that is frequented by many, including some friendly and beautiful teachers from the local school across the way. You are struck with an immediate vibe of friendliness and happiness, and visitors to the Point Tavern are truly treated like family. My great friend, "Uncle Anthony," and I enjoyed ourselves sitting and rela
