Good food and service Winter stew was delicious and helped to escape the cold chill outside So did the wine

Great lunch, great conversation. Great pub I recommend you stop in if ever given the chance

Really good food and the Irish Soda Bread is out of this world. That's how we knew the other good would be great.

Ambrose is the best and the reason we love this place. Absolutely amazing service, music selection and conversation.

They had Sipsmith Gin. Won my heart. Ray is a lovely bartender!

Cozy on a bitter cold NYC evening. French onion soup and shepherd's pie were just what the doctor ordered!😉

We had 6 for lunch. Parnells was perfect. Food was just right for all 6 palettes.

Had a chicken sandwich, tasted great! Good service.

Scot Abertson sings every other Friday. The food is good. It's always fun.

I ate at the bar and watched a baseball game. Perfect place to do it.

Really nice pub and the shepherd's pie was THE best I've ever had.

People should know to respect one of the last great neighborhood bars. Staff is stellar. The Thursday night bartender with the choice playlist knows how to set a vibe. Last of a dying breed, the place itself and the patrons.

Excellent food. The Guinness was poured properly and tasted great. Amazing staff. The place is vibey and the outdoor seating is great!!! Highly recommended!!!!

Really great pub, fresh beer, good options to eat and beautiful place. Service was great at thr bar also. I'll come back for sure.

Was treated to a birthday dinner - nice place with excellent service - open mic night too - highly recommended!

Food and service are great, the prices are the best in the area, drinks are very generous, after going to all the expensive restaurants in the area with $$$$ bills, Parnell's became our favor spot,we always leave satisfied and happy. Highly recommended

Had dinner reservations around the corner....so we couldn't stay longer. We wanted to stay longer...really yummy Manhattan. Didn't get that weird you walked into the wrong bar feeling....quite cozy and friendly

Still has very good chicken pot pie! Burgers are great! Has good brunch selections! Service is still good! Not very expensive

Whether you’re a local or visiting NYC, Parnell’s is a fantastic spot. The food is consistently delicious and the service is exceptional. Colm, Phil, and Ambrose are all outstanding at providing a fun, inviting atmosphere.

Have been there twice with friends. Food is excellent and the service is also!! So nice. Will recommend and will go again.

Great 50 yrs old pub. Outdoor seating was very comfortable on the side street rather than on the noisy Avenue. Hamburger was perfect.

I enjoyed the lentil soup, the shepard's pie was also quite tasty. The staff was attentive and friendly. I look forward to returning.

Just got a couple of beers but us tourists were welcomed in and heard regulars greeting each other by name. Great place

Quiet lunch, great food. Service a bit slow, but fortunately we were not in a hurry.

Second time there and enjoyed everything. Decent cocktails at the bar. Excellent calves liver fabulous burgers and fish and chips.

Had the best Thanksgiving lunch! Great and fresh food with very pleasant service. They are being very careful about distancing etc.

A true down to earthr neighborhood place. Great burgers, Shepherd's Pie, fish n chips. Heard they also have Karaoke on Sat nights.

Very nice local Irish pub. We did not order food just beers. We had A great time here.

Not your normal fake Irish pub. This place is the real deal. The food is well prepared and service is impeccable.

Great cozy atmosphere and best of all not too loud!

Great food, Pleasant atmosphere. Sports bar feel in the bar area, intimate Jazzy setting in the back. Classic Irish menu, but some nice American touches. Salmon was good, shepherd pie was excellent.

Great Irish food, great service, great beer. It's bigger than it looks in the back in the dining area, and the noise from the bar area wasn't as loud as I thought it would be. You can sit in the back and forget that there's a bar up front, you can enjoy your meal.

This is a nice and relaxing place considering its in busy Manhattan. It has a nice atmosphere and good food and drinks selection also good and friendly service. We stopped for lunch and it was worth it.

This is medium sized pub style bar and restaurant with a small countryside town feel in Midtown-East Manhattan. Friendly bartenders and wait staff compliment an impressive menu. The seafood is always fresh and the appetizers are thoughtful. An excellent destination for casual lunch or dinner.

Stopped here at this pub like atmosphere for Lunch. Awesome corned beef sandwich and had the soup of the day-tortilla soup. Just the right amount of spices. They have it spot on with Irish and Mexican cuisine.

Didn’t have food but ambience was great and lovely lady behind the bar … wine was ok - no selection and quite expensive

AMAZING NEIGHBORS, AMAZING CITIZENS. First of all the food is great pub fare. Great burgers, great brunch, great bar snacks. My compliment today is what incredible fellow citizens they are here at Parnell's. From the first snowflakes, the staff here cleaned the sidewalk and crosswalk so their neighbors could walk freely.... even the crosswalk! And today i noticed they have shoveled every last bit of the mountains of ice from that side of the street. I just want to thank you for being so considerate of all your neighbors and strangers that will walk on the cleared of sidewalk! AMAZING! OUTSTANDING! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Tracy Sane

Friendly place, not snobby. Feels like a real locals bar; not made for tourists.

Eric Jeffrey Kaufman

Great Irish pub food. Very good, friendly service

Juan King

I always leave happy, and you will too. Our complete order came fresh, tasted excellent and showed skilled cooking. Our area has welcomed this restaurant warmly. Restaurant team members are genuinely nice. You should sample all menu items.

Rosemary Mazzo

The high school where I teach had their year end luncheon for the faculty at Parnell’s. The manager, Brian, was so accommodating and gave us a great deal because we were a school. We had a lovely buffet and the food was delicious. Our server, Prenka, was efficient, friendly and so accommodating. I would highly recommend Parnell’s for any event and also just to have lunch with a friend, as I have also enjoyed.

Gordon Hoppe

Been there a few times for burgers. Lost in Sutton with Neary's and Morso gone. The special was pasta and shrimp, I thought, why not? It was fantastic! Pasta cooked very well, capers and lemon in butter wine sauce and almost tempura like shrimp. Really excellent!

Helixx Hawk

Gotta say, Parnells was a god send. Super hungry and saw this place. Welcomed by the staff immediately! The food was simply amazing. Definately worth a stop if your hungry or just want a drink and some company.

Great Hamburger! It’s StPatricks Day so the place is packed and very lively but I live nearby and the place has a decent crowd.

James Kiss

Some friends and family recently held a memorial brunch service at Parnell's and it was a really lovely time. The staff at Parnell's are top notch people - friendly, fast, thoughtful, and caring. For what was at times a somber occasion, the Parnell's crew took care of all of us. Never had an empty glass or plate that lingered. Food was great - fresh and cooked just right. Big thank you to the Sunday morning crew at Parnell's for serving good food, good spirits, and friendly smiles.

Hyunchul Lee

Very good, great food, service and atmosphere.

Nikola Stanchev

Pub restaurant with tasty food options. Kind and positive service, dish size is on a good price for unexpectedly big meals. 😍

Has to serve one of the best shepherds pie that I’ve ever eaten. Seriously. The others enjoyed their chicken & burger as well. Nice little neighborhood pub. Good service. Clean bathrooms.

Matt Ealy Sr

I’ve been here a few times over the past couple years to meet with a friend/business colleague who is a regular. In midtown Manhattan it’s hard to find bars anymore that are nice and still have a “local feel”. This place is great. The atmosphere is nice . The burger is great and the drinks are very fairly priced for Manhattan. Very close the the UN and Consulate district so you get a nice blend of folks from time to time . Cheers!

Marianne Mason

Consistently good food and service is great except after 9pm they close the back dining room, strange because the restaurant is open until 11 most nites and the kitchen is in the back. Depending upon the night the cuisine can be spectacular. The special 3-taco special is superb as well as Duck a l'Orange if you hit a nite when the real chef is there. Fantastic warm atmosphere, tablecloths, well-spaced tables. We are extremely lucky to have such a well-run, lovely pub in our neighborhood. I take all guests and friends there. They love it too! BTW some nites there are drunk people sitting at tables who shout loudly when speaking, but they are cheerful and mean no harm - part of the atmosphere!

Decent bar. Nothing special, nothing bad.

A real Irish pub with a piano bar entertaining you thru your meal. Fun with food.

awesome service! Local place and felt like home! the food was great also.

Food is good but the beer is better. Staff are attentive, but the food is on the pricey side.

A perfect fixed price($10) lunch of soup, and plated scallops with rice and fresh salad greens served to a couple of weary travelers who needed a lunch break. Thanks Parnell!

Leify, the bartender, is one the main reasons to go for something special. The food and drinks are just as expected but the best experience is at the bar.

Near to UN with a combo of bar and restaurant. Service was kind of late but over all an acceptable place for single, couples or group of 04

First time visit for this local stalwart ... solid pint and good food. Can't go wrong.

The prime rib was excellent, although they need to update their menu on the website.

Had a grand time and great selection of entrees... oh I went on a Wednesday and the musicians were fab.

It wasn't lively or noisy, but the food was good. They were out of some items on the menu, but they also had some things not listed which caught me by surprise.

Food was slightly above average but nothing special. Resturant was busier than other nearby restaurants so believe must have good clientele in the area. Staff was very pleasant and attentative. Felt they were COVID19 attentive and felt safe eating here.

Serious piano bar party inside. Not my thing, so it was nice to sit outside at a sidewalk table. Decent food, decent service.

Great historic atmosphere. Good service with quality food. Menu needs updating.

Great place. A gem. I passed this place millions of time but never tried. But I could not have lunch and they offered a early bird (dinner) special. Only $20 soup and salad inclusive. Atmosphere was cozy and nice female server (with a lovely accent and I love diversity in area!). I added an Irish beer too. I regret that I did not much earlier but will come more times for food and beer

I loved this spot for my local Irish pub. It has a total neighborhood crowd in the evenings. Everyone knows everyone and the bartenders are friendly. I've actually never had the food there! Drinks are pricey, but strong. Great spot!

Nice, quiet pub with a nostalgic vibe. Live music on some nights. Bartender was fantastic. I ordered the shepherds pie. I can't say it's anywhere near the best I've had, but it was hearty and warm. Can't complain.

Parnell's is one of the last of the old-time bar-and-grills that I know of in my neighborhood. It has a similar feel as the gathering place of my friends and I during and after the time we attended NYU, the Cedar Tavern. Both establishments knew how to char-grill burgers, setting themselves apart from the others that heat up the burgers on a steel slab. (Jackson Hole is a notable exception to this quasi-indictment.) However, today being Easter Sunday, we elected to order the Sunday Dinner Special, turkey with trimmings. It was fine, as was the service. They always have had outdoor seating in the summer+ months, but thanks to the CCPVirus restrictions, they have expanded and partitioned the seating area, and have provided space heaters for those who feel ill from the chill. We will return, especially since we didn't get the burger that propelled us to Parnell's in the first place.

Very nice local Irish Pub. Typical comfort food, i.e. Shepherd's Pie, Stew, fish n chips, etc. Food good. Great Irish bartenders n wait staff. Mostly neighborhood people with a smattering of tourists n people in town for business.

Had a couple drinks with a friend after dinner. Bartender was friendly and made good drinks. He checked on us regularly even though he was behind the bar alone. Clientele is on the older side, atmosphere is laid back.

THE EXPLORER

My friend and I went to Parnell’s for lunch recently. We had the lunch specials - one Cuban sandwich and one chopped steak. The sandwich was good but it was too big for lunch. My friend said the steak was tasteless. Both had a salad as part of the lunch specials.

David Chin

Swung by on a Saturday night, the regular crowd was strolling in. No reservations needed but was filling up the later it got. A very comfortable spot in Midtown East. Pretty good fish and chips, The Sirloin was a value. The service was very friendly.

Ryan Rothamel

Very good. Potatoes were cold but still good. And a free drink with brunch. I was happy with the prices too.

Food was good but the drinks were kinda watered down. Place was quiet and service is good.

Adequate food and poor service from the waitstaff. The bartender was friendly and did try to make up for it.

Solid selection of beers and food, service was excellent and staff was polite.

Stopped in for a quick beer with my girl, bar keep not very friendly unless you're a regular it seems and pricey, but maybe we got the tourist pricing ;-) Won't be going back.

Had to interrupt the waitress scrolling on her phone to order a beer, must be nice.

Old fashioned Irish pub. The food is generally good, but I got heartburn after eating the chicken pot pie. I recommend the fish and salads.

usually a good spot, tonight burgers ordered medium rare came like hockey pucks, crunchy on the outside. No servers stopped back until i managed to finish mine, but my wife could hardly take more than two bites of hers. When the server finally came back she offered to make a new one, but by that time we had been with the food for half hour and just wanted to leave. The waitress couldn't have cared less and charged us full price when there was obviously a full plate of food practically untouched. So very disappointing that the food has gotten so bad and the servers who couldn't care less. It will be a long time until i return

Jack

The Guinness seemed like it was served in a 10z glass....nevermind getting a proper pint or 20oz glass. Like a junior size compared to other Irish Pubs. Wrong item to skimp your customers on. Food was good though.

I like the bar and atmosphere. Old world charm. But my “happiness” was short lived as they are probably the only pub in the area without a Happy Hour so it became relatively expensive compared to other bars, pubs, restaurants in the area. I had made a plan to meet an old friend who suggested meeting there. I had a few drinks and ordered an entree. My friend just ordered an iced tea and then another iced tea. Probably my mistake but on the specials board it was promoted “Taco Tuesday” so I figured ok maybe it’s good. Bad move. It wasn’t good. $24 for 3 small tasteless tacos. But my bad for ordering Mexican at an Irish Pub. The check came and the bartender had charged me $10 for 2 iced teas. I had asked if there were refills but there was not. Seems like a lot of $$ to charge for 2 iced teas. That rubbed me the wrong way. The wine was $14 and the draft was $9 which I guess isnt terrible but at many locations the happy hour price was 1/2. The service was decent and the atmosphere good. The food was ehh. Maybe I should’ve had the fish and chips. Won’t be going back

Tito Promo

There really isn't something too special about this pub. I have gone there multiple times because a former supervisor loves it for their lunch specials (~$20/per person, and you get a soup or a salad plus a "main dish"). The thing is, the flavors there have failed to impress me time after time. So I wouldn't recommend it necessarily for much, it's just OK. They need to revamp and rethink their menu.

Would like to rank it higher, because of a great bartender Ray and decent food. But, a different bartender kept telling everyone a story about a fight he had, using loud and vulgar language that had people asking him to shut up

Zulal Healy

The only reason I used to keep going here is that my son likes the chicken parm. But my salmon was dry and inedible. Potatoes seemed like they were reheated in the microwave from days ago. Tasteless and awful. The best thing is the service is always friendly. I won’t be going back and don’t recommend.

The service was horrible the food was horrible the waitresses look exhausted And one waitress was smoking a cigarette instead of taking out orders another waitress was extremely rude and just bought her food out on the table and just left it there

This establishment had zero consideration for the general public. They place their signs in the middle of sidewalk for the general public to navigate around. No respect for the community. Manager or owner was incredibly rude and even stated it’s was the second complaint of the day and he did not care. Choose if you’d like to support a business that seems to not care about social distancing.

The greatest: Colin! The guy after is hilariously stupid. I love this place for Colin, but they've always discriminated against who gets to enjoy the spot and who doesn't in the evening. So until that changes, no thank you.

Before Covid Parnell’s was mediocre at best. I gave them several months after reopening and the food is disgusting we have thrown away many meals. Not once has anything been ok. Everything is old, dry and gross. Stay away

Horrible place would never go. Worst service ever after trying to just grab a drink.

First and last time getting food here. I was excited to try this place as we've heard good things and it's only a block away from our apartment but we're very disappointed. We called in to see if they could make cheese quesadillas for my girlfriend who is a vegetarian since they only had chicken quesadillas listed on the menu. They offered to put beans and corn salsa in it, which we really appreciated. We ordered a steak sandwich medium rare which came with spicy fries according to the menu. We picked up our meal but needless to say the quesadillas were simply cheese, steak sandwich was well done and mostly chewy fat and it came with just regular fries, not spicy. It looked unappealing and tasted even worse. We'll definitely not be back. It's a shame since we had high hopes.
