Great Irish pub right near Amsterdam. Had fun playing pool and the food was great too. We only had the chicken fingers and a cup of chili but both were great. Very friendly bartender as well. Will be back when I’m in the area.

This bar is not popular than. Before the pandemic, and that is great. It was already painful to see them move out of their historical location on Broadway.... Thanks to the team!

This is a place for regulars. Everyone knows your name, and is super friendly. They have a changing menu weekly and offer all the general drinks you would want. They offer party reservations for large groups and are very accommodating for extra seating. The waitresses are super friendly and fairly young. The lighting is dim for a chill time. They do play most of the big games going on in the season.

A curious downstairs space with solid drinks and solid food and which is exactly the kind of Lord of the Rings Shire den you'd want to pop into on a chilly night to catch up with your buddies. If you don't expect more you won't be disappointed and if you're looking for just that, you will find yourself in heaven.

Was visiting NYC recently, and my wife and I wanted to go to a bar. Nothing fancy, not really a restaurant, just a bar--this place delivered. A couple of beers, some decent onion rings and a volume level inside the establishment that allows for normal conversation. Recommended.

Proper traditional Irish NYC pub with horse racing and various sports on TV. Really great Guinness, highly recommended. (Didn't eat so can't comment on food).

I came here one night for some dinner. I heard their burger was very good. It's good, with some pickles adding to the flavor, but not my favorite in the city. The service was great, with a friendly bartender. The atmosphere was very laid back, akin to an Irish pub, with good vibes.

This place appears to be closed, stopped by 12/10 before a Beacon show and there is a "For Rent" sign in the window.

How insane that on top of sharing my actual experience, which I was extremely accurate and fair, as I posed questions never accusations. All to receive— Response from the owner: We are in business since 1943 . If you weren’t served it was for a reason . This review is ridiculous and I would appreciate if you would take it down . Reason being prejudice(?). Here once again, a question. I am not pretending to be a mind reader, yet the situation is quite simple. I have never in my life been turned away. I had given no reason. So the “reason” must have been based on my appearance/person. It’s great you’ve been in business since 1943. Maybe update your thinking from that year as well and how dare you shame a person from their experience. Kindly, touch grass and breathe. Peace and blessings! ***UPDATE: the owners response to this has got to be the most iconic representation of toxic masculinity I’ve ever seen. It’s not bashing when it’s true—but I can’t change your perspective, nor do I wish to. You know what?, do you! Slam down another double whisky, shut down more women, and just go awf king!***

Ran out in tears bc of a (racist?) elderly caucasion man. It all started when he looked at me with a terrible expression as soon as i sat down (I am an Asian woman). He did not say a single word, just stared at me blankly. I asked him if he needed to see my id, to which he looked at me like I cursed his mother and replied "yes" in the most hateful way imaginable. He immediately said, "what do you want" to which i replied "i just sat down, may i please have a moment". He then sat a water down and said "here is this in the meantime". '. As i decided what i wanted he ignored me on multiple occasions, and finally said "i think you are good with water". Mind you--I haven't had a single drink at all today; I certainly had been in my head over the loss of my mother and may had been off--but 1000%, never was I ever rude to him in the slightest. Obviously I didn't and don't think I would have, but I was genuinely tempted to call the police and ask them to bring a breathalyzer to test right in front of him, as I found this accusation appalling, given no reason for him to say so. Never did I stumble, wobble, shake, or slur a single English spoken word. When he finally came near me again, I had found the courage and asked him if he enjoyed being rude to me, to which he replied "I'm not being rude, you've had too much to drink; another time". I cannot emphasize any further that I haven't had a single drink this entire day. At this point, I am the most sober a human can possibly be. I felt so upset and rejected for no reason, it was a dehumanizing experience.... I get this will not affect their business at all, as it seems like a neighborhood bar and regulars will probably laugh at this with the bartender himself and deem me as a drunken over-reactor. To be honest, I don't want this to affect their business. I don't judge people on their worst action/ experience. But, I do want it to be know, kindness should be free and my ethnicity shouldnt be the currency required to purchase it. It's fine if you don't believe me, no-one ever believes women in these situations... It's just a fact I must accept. I wanted to release this from my heart and share my experience for anyone who reads, so they can make their decision if they want to support a place who enables this type of behavior. There is far too much hate in the world, it's sad to see so much, so close to home. Sending all peace and blessings and may this sad miserable human heal from the demons he is forced to live with. I leave this experience behind me... Much love!

I live just around the corner and was hoping to find a friendly local bar. I was in the mood for a burger and read good reviews about this place. To be fair the burger was pretty good, but the service was the most unfriendly I have experienced in New York. The woman behind the bar barely acknowledged me, didn't ask what I wanted to drink, and said nothing when I ordered food. To ask if I wanted a second drink she just tapped the glass. She said 4 words to me all night. She was friendly and chatty to the regulars, so she was not just having a bad day, but obviously can't be bothered with new customers . I paid the check with a credit card and was surprised to see a 3% credit card surcharge. There is nothing on the menu about this, and no mention was made to me to give me the option to pay in cash. Besides it is illegal in New York to add a credit card fee state without clearly showing the different prices.
