THE Friendliest Bar In Queens !!! Great Atmosphere.Always lively, never dull. Awesome Live Music. Superb Staff. Strangers quickly become friends. Make the trip from Manhattan to Astoria. 100% worth the trip...

Nice Irish pub - traditionally decorated with friendly staffing and good drinks. Came in for a live band.

Visited in 2019 on a trip to NYC with my youngest son. We stayed a couple of blocks away from Shillelagh. Had a great time! The bartender was awesome and we met really nice people there. I’m coming back next week and will definitely visit again!

Great atmosphere, great service; all are welcome and not Manhattan prices. Always a great time Shillelagh's!!! There's live open mic Wednesday, Karaoke Saturday; concerts by great local (NY) artists from acoustic to Rock/Metal and last but not least finally we even have amazing Rap artists coming from all corners of the Boroughs and perform. All of it originated thanks to 1Man/1Bartender and Rusty is his name.

Great atmosphere and top notch friendly service. The front section (at the bar) is spacious enough for a small group to sit and stand together. There’s also a back lounge section, behind the curtain, with a stage, long narrow tables, stools and a couch. I was there for an Imrpov comedy show on a Monday night and was very comfortable for the entire 3 hours I was there. The bathroom was clean and well stocked. I had some beer for happy hour and the prices were just right. I didn’t eat or check to see if they served food so I can’t speak on that but overall it’s a great place and I’ll definitely be back.

One of those lovely neighborhood taverns "were everybody knows your name" super friendly staff and patrons. Very friendly bartenders - I'm partial to Rusty he's been there at as long as the ten years I've been going there. What really makes this place great is their open mike nights. The musicians and singers are always top notch two regulars L-Train and Sweet Magma really stand out in my mind however I've seen a ton of really talented artsts there. So if looking for a good time without the fuss and snobbery I could not more highly recommend this little gem!

Kenn Vance

A good neighborhood bar and now a magnet for LFC fans. Plenty of events, and a nice space in the back for traveling or local bands and regular open mic nights. But overall a solid bar, a nice draft selection (albeit limited) with a mix of craft, import and bud light. Check it out, it might be the local for you.

Kyle McCarthy

Vintage Irish dive bar for live music from local bands. Good basic bar, did not eat. Good acoustics in the nice back room, though there's very little seating.

Andrew

Great to hit for cheap and great shows! Most of the time just $10. Great bar staff if you don't care about rock music

Jessica Colon

Great place to go and have some fun with your friends. Full bar as well as dart boards in the back, steel tipped only. They don't serve food here, so eat up before you go. Tuesdays sees a Mario Cart Tournament, where the winner gets a $50 bar credit. Loads of fun, but either bring your A-game if you plan on trying to win or expect to lose. Either way, it's lots of fun and nearly everyone is a good sport about it.

this business was recently handed over to different owners. they've remodeled the inside and have taken out so much of what gave shillelagh its personality and attitude. yes, now place looks new, but now i dont even recognize the place. i used to come here to have fun dates with my wife....
