High Heat Burgers & Tap is located on Bleecker Street just minutes away from all of the major downtown subway stops. It’s the newest place from Chef Waldy Malouf, long-time chef of Beacon, Rainbow Room and Hudson River Club.

Aside from a fast casual, laid back atmosphere splashed with artful graffiti, High Heat is a comfortable place to spend an hour or two. From the natural wood tables and counter tops to the iron and rustic stone details, you will feel the essence of a natural environment, matching the honest food offered.

The ‘tap’ portion is named after the 8 wines and 8 beers (as locally sourced as possible) that are available only on tap, saving the environment and retail prices.

With a blend of flavorful Certified Black Angus, dry-aged beef that is steroid-free, growth hormone-free and antibiotic free, Chef Waldy Malouf mastered the art of the gourmet smokestack burger. Grilled, seared and smoked, the High Heat burger is a work of art. Be sure to pair it with hand-cut and house-seasoned, extra-crisp tossed French fries. Honest. Authentic. American.
