Master Critic Review

Harlem Public 8.6
Hamilton Heights-Sugar Hill
Harlem Public is a Hamilton Heights standby for hefty burgers, loaded bar snacks, and rotating craft beers in a lively corner space that’s been drawing crowds since 2012. The burger section leans playful—think peanut butter and breakfast-topped patties—backed by reliable fries and strong drafts that make it a default neighborhood hang.
