T.J. Byrnes Albee Square Reviews
Great service, atmosphere and wonderful lobster- highly recommend for a fun night out!
I used to come here every Saturday and this place has such a unique and warm atmosphere! Love their food, drinks and service! Veeeery reasonable prices
The pork was tender (fell off the bone), the vegetables were charbroiled, the potatoes were just the right texture and full of flavor. The servers were friendly and attentive. The ambiance is a blast from the past.
I went to a reading here and one of the poets loudly listed all of the signage displayed on businesses down the length of fresh pond road as If words to a song. It was a car accident at the intersection of wow and dated Irish pub that made my spine tingle like I’d been karate chopped in a way so hard I might feel it forever
There is nowhere like Tj Byrnes. I have been coming here for almost 10 years. From my college days to my now working girl days - you can still catch me visiting with my best friends and see us having the best time no matter the time of day! Tommy & Misty and the entire staff take care of their customers. Prices are great, drinks/food are great, customers are great, staff is great. Going back there today sparked me to make my review!!!! I'll always love and support this great place!
Great food, drinks, and had a marvelous time dancing to wonderful Salsa music with my friends.
What a great experience here. We came by on a Saturday evening and every where was packing with wait times. This place had available table with some authentic Irish food. Beers were nice and cold with Christmas music playing in the background. Katy was out waitress and was very pleasant. They also have a bar area. I wish I lived close to this neighborhood/bar restaurant. This is a owner/run establishment.
Absolutely love TJ Byrne’s in Manhattan! This is the epitome of a true old Irish pub, with a warm, neighborhoody vibe that makes you feel right at home. The atmosphere is fantastic, complete with charming decor and friendly locals. The owner, who is Irish, is an absolute delight—so welcoming and makes you feel like part of the family. The food is also great, with hearty and delicious dishes that hit the spot every time. It’s the perfect spot to relax, enjoy a pint, and soak in the authentic pub experience. Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for an authentic, no-frills Irish pub in the heart of the city!
Quiet, mature and friendly regulars. Tommy is owner and bartender with a good support staff. Drinks are reasonably priced for lower Manhattan. It has been my local on and off over 20 plus years. Come on in have a drink
Nice atmosphere. The red leather upholstery and dim lighting the seventies music (Barry White and BeeGees type music) they were playing gave me this retro lounge vibe that I loved but was lost on a younger member of the group. (My young childhood was in the seventies and I watch lots of seventies retro tv, so... ✌) I loved my fish and chips. Not everyone loved their food but hey if it's Irish then go Irish so I did and I wasn't disappointed.
Best bar in Manhattan, the loveliest and kindest owners and bar tenders, never a bad crowd. Always enjoyed coming here and never was disappointed. Food is great but it's the cocktail that you come here for and trust me they have all kinds of alcohol and the bartender knows every cocktail imaginable and not.
A favorite hang out during my college years this bar has absolutely no pretentiousness. A place for affordable food, the buffalo wings are painfully hot and the chicken breast sandwich is tasty, and drinks, well poured Guinness, with a friendly staff. It's a neighborhood staple and the kind of place where you'll learn the bartender's name and come back enough times and he'll learn yours. It's not a place I'd journey to but it is a refreshing break from all the bars in the area. Stop in for a glass of beer and say hit to Tommy
T.J. Byrnes impresses with very good service and atmosphere - the staff is attentive and the vibe is inviting. Unfortunately, the food was just average and didn't match the quality of the experience elsewhere. Come for the ambiance and hospitality, but don't expect exceptional cuisine.
Cozy neighborhood joint but if you can, make a point of going when Drew is behind the bar: absolute endlessly entertaining.
Drinks are cheap, food is blah, but the karaoke team rocks and they really know what they're doing. They did a great job at hyping up the crowd to the point that everyone didn't want to leave. I would go back again, but it would have to be a karaoke night.
Went here recently. Locals spot. Got chicken tenders ($15) and some domestic light bottled beer. Tenders were microwaveable quality at best. Solid atmosphere but way too pricey on food and drinks for the quality you get.
Just went here on a first date. It was around 2pm and they had all the doors open. The ventilation was nice but the flies and mosquitoes were not. My date got no less than 12 mosquito bites on her arms in the time that we were there and we were sitting inside at a booth. I also noticed as we were being seated the little plexiglass dividers they had with printed shamrocks had really thick streaks across them all as if instead of cleaning them the dirt was just pushed around which made me leery about ordering food but I did it anyway. My date had the shepherd's pie and she said it was pretty good. I had the steak sandwich and I'm not exaggerating when I say it's one of the toughest cuts of meat that I've ever had in my life. I actually asked for it to be cooked medium rare and it was but still tougher than leather. So much so I was only able to eat about a quarter of the sandwich before giving up. It also came with fries and an onion rings that were obviously fried together in the same oil that tasted like it probably hasn't been changed in months. Thankfully my date didn't hold any of this against me but we definitely learned our lesson and I'm frankly shocked at the general rating of this place because my experience was contrary to the four point whatever stars this place averages.
