Pony Bar, yup. There is a Heartland Brewery (so-so chain joint) on 6th Ave. at 51st and The Ginger Man isn't too drastically far, on E36th between 5th and Madison.
Nice, nice, thanks for the help guys! Guess i should have mentioned, any of these places have food and a family atmosphere? With the family on this one.

The only one that's truly family atmosphere is Heartland. Pony Bar is strictly a bar with food service. No table service. Ginger Man is really a beer snob joint, kind of yuppy-like but with food. Not really a good place for kids.
If with kids, go to Heartland. There's a few in that area. My favorite is slightly further from Rock Center though, on 43 & 7 right off B'Way. It's themed more towards being a burger joint and would be perfect for your family.
