Est. 1928. Says a lot.Located one block off of River Ave where the elevated 4, D & B train run and where the outer wall of Yankee Stadium backs up to.
161st St is a face paced street with shops all along. The Yankee Tavern sits on the corner with entrances on both 161st and on Gerard Avenue.
A deli counter is at the 161st St entrance and is always busy. The Tavern serves some of best pastrami and corned beef in the Bronx. The bar is many deep before, during and after Yankee games. There is a little eating area in the rear of the bar.
The bar decore is a virtual museum of Yankee memorabilia, with murals of Yankee greats like Mickey Mantle, Lou Gehrig, and most prominently Babe Ruth. In fact, the Babe was known for coming in and buying a round of drinks for the house.
A must stop for anyone going to a Yankees game at the stadium. I can't say how out of town guests are treated when wearing the opposing attire. I have only seen Mets fans inside before several of the Subway Series.
