Burke's Restaurant & Bar

What Burke's Restaurant & Bar does

Burke's Restaurant & Bar is a single-location, independently owned Irish-themed sports bar and restaurant founded in 2001 at 645 Bronx River Road in Yonkers, NY, serving the surrounding Westchester neighborhood. The core product is its signature Build Your Own Burger, complemented by a full American and Irish menu, weekend brunch service (Saturdays during NFL season and Sundays, noon–3pm), and a comprehensive bar program offering 25+ draft beers, an extensive bottled beer selection, and a full liquor range. The venue operates daily with a kitchen open from noon to 10PM (12AM on Fridays and Saturdays) and a bar running until 2AM every night.

The business is built around a sports-viewing experience with over 20 TVs screening multiple games simultaneously, all UFC pay-per-view events (no cover charge), and occasional live local bands. A private dining room supports a dedicated event business offering buffet, lunch, seated dinner, and open bar packages for birthdays, corporate events, fundraisers, and family gatherings, with a $200 non-refundable deposit and per-person pricing excluding 8.875% tax and 20% gratuity. Additional revenue is captured through a third-party online ordering platform for takeout, with menu pricing not publicly disclosed.

The business model is direct-to-consumer and walk-in driven, with no publicly listed menu pricing, no disclosed financials, and no evidence of outside investors, parent companies, or M&A activity. The venue relies primarily on word-of-mouth, its 22+ year local reputation, and community presence. There are no disclosed AI, proprietary technology, app, or data capabilities; the underlying stack is a Squarespace website with an embedded third-party ordering widget. Customer mix is diversified across local residents, sports fans, families, and event bookers, with geographic concentration entirely in Yonkers, NY.

Broad incumbents

• Yard House: National sports-bar chain defined by an extensive draft-beer program, wall-to-wall TVs for sports viewing, and a full bar-and-grill menu - directly analogous to Burke's TV count, draft range, and burger-and-beer positioning, but operating at much larger chain scale.
• Applebee's Neighborhood Grill + Bar: National neighborhood casual-dining chain emphasizing burgers, bar service, sports watching, and community gathering - closest large-chain analog to Burke's local-neighborhood positioning and family-friendly sports-bar atmosphere.
• Buffalo Wild Wings: Flagship national sports-bar brand built around wings, burgers, beer, multi-TV sports viewing, and game-day promotions; mirrors Burke's positioning as a neighborhood sports-watching venue, just at significantly greater scale and marketing reach.
• TGI Fridays: Casual-dining chain built around bar service, American food, and sports-friendly neighborhood locations - a scaled, category-adjacent peer rather than a direct competitor, useful for menu and bar-program benchmarking.
• BJ's Restaurant Brewhouse: Casual-dining chain pairing deep-felt menu items and burgers with a signature craft-beer program and sports-bar atmosphere; comparable to Burke's "Build Your Own Burger" + extensive beer list + family-friendly sports positioning, but at multi-unit scale.
• Dave & Buster's: National entertainment-bar-and-restaurant operator combining TVs/sports viewing, full bar service, private event bookings, and group-oriented experiences - the multi-unit analog to Burke's sports-viewing + private-event + group-friendly model.
• Hooters: Iconic sports-bar chain centered on bar food, beer, sports viewing, and high private-event volume; comparable business model to Burke's sports-and-events focus, scaled nationally.

Regional players

• P.J. Clarke's: Iconic NYC neighborhood bar-and-grill known for burgers, full bar service, sports viewing, and a loyal regular crowd; an analog of Burke's "burger destination + sports bar + community hub" positioning in the same tri-state area.
• Stout NYC: Multi-story Irish-themed sports bar in Manhattan with extensive beer list and live sports programming on numerous screens - among the closest concept matches to Burke's Irish sports-bar positioning within the same NY metro market.
• The Brazen Head: One of NYC's oldest Irish pubs serving American-Irish fare, full bar service, and a regular crowd of neighborhood regulars; mirrors Burke's Irish theme, neighborhood-gathering role, and pub-food-and-beer core offering within the same region.
