The Perfect Pint

“Although it has no view but the buildings around it, it provides a nice oasis in the urban squalor called Times Square.”

“Says Connollys pub outside – skip the dark pub and hike up to the rooftop bar/restaurant if it's nice out.”

“The food was aiiight, the artichoke dip as others have mentioned is really good, nice and cheesy with the right amount of greenery in it.”

  1. Another typical pub in midtown, but with a rooftop! It's only on the fourth floor in the middle of the street so diner expect great views, but it's always nice to get fresh air.

    They have a lot of options on tap! But beer was served in plastic cups, so that was a little disappointing.

    Even though it was packed (5pm Friday night) the waitress got the orders quickly and drinks and food were out in no time.

    *A lot of the HH specials don't apply if you're on the rooftop

  2. I've been to this specific location on two occasions. Once last year during the summer for a friend's birthday HH on the roof and again recently for a midweek power lunch with an old coworker. Both experiences were great, in my opinion!

    The rooftop is a nice spot to hang out during the warmer months especially if you get there early enough to get a table and some seats. I think the specials were pretty good. I happen to remember a delicious grapefruit beer that sounds quite good right about now… Anyway! So yes, I'm looking forward to meeting up with friends there this summer again.

    I was really happy to try the food from here because I had never had it before. And let me tell you, it was pretty good. I ordered the turkey cuban sandwich with fries and I was more than happy with my meal. The prices were what you'd expect from a bar in the Times Square area and the service was great.

    I know I said this already, but definitely looking forward to visiting this establishment again!

    PS: There are a LOT of stairs here, so beware of that… 🙂

  3. Came here with a friend for a meal since I was a tad hungry.  I'm not sure how the drinks are but the food was not great cuisine or anything fancy.  Staff was very friendly and we did get to sit someplace relatively quiet but I wouldn't come here for the food.  You're also in the midst of tourist land here though there was ample seating later on a weeknight & it wasn't a packed madhouse.  Maybe you should just come for the drinks and the service.

  4. Love the rooftop here! I try to avoid this area because Times Square is so awful, but met up with a friend here for drinks/dinner. I would definitely recommend coming here if you find yourself in Times Square – a block away from the hustle and bustle, and relatively quiet.

    Unless you're looking for a workout – I recommend taking the elevator to the rooftop!

    Huge selection of beers (although no Abita or Tyskie, my two favorites!), and I had a yummy chicken quesadilla. Service was alright, kind of hard to get our waitress's attention, and she forgot to bring me water that I ordered, but it was pretty busy so I understand. Probably a fun place to go watch a game!

  5. I really just don't like this bar. Average Guinness and sports bar/club feel at night. Not really a pub as much as a place that caters to drunk tourists. My family loves the rooftop patio, I find it…meh. Not the perfect pint, but will do in a pinch. It's pretty standard for Midtown Irish American bars.

  6. Girlfriend and I met her BIL here for lunch. Arrived about 1:30pm on a Sunday and the it was pretty empty. We were seated right away and taken good care of. Good selections of beer, food was decent and most of the football games were on. Started to pick up as the day went on but overall a good experience.

  7. This is a great spot to grab a drink in debatably one of the worst places in the city to want to do anything…Times Square. This place is a bit of positive light in a sea of tourist ridden pubs and chains that surround it. The best part is the upstairs, rooftop patio where you can come and enjoy a beer outside. The beer list is awesome. Probably close to 30 drafts on the menu. Servers are quick and attentive and also look out for you. We walked in and they conveniently moved a party of 2 to a smaller table so they could take care of our table of 5. It was super nice of them and I could see that they did right by the other table of 2 and made sure they weren't putting them out. It was great. This is a place I would definitely recommend if you're in the Times Square area have to have drinks around here. It's a gem in the otherwise bar nonsense.

  8. Came here on a whim and sat at the 2nd floor area. Can't really say much about the food because I only ordered the fried calamari and 2 IPAs.

    I didn't get it, but they had the Guinness nitro IPA. Props! They also have a good/wide selection of beer on tap so it'll satisfy all beer lovers.

    The fried calamari wasn't anything out of the ordinary. But it wasn't overly salty and bland, so in that aspect, it was a thumbs up! Perhaps slightly less in amount than I would have expected but oh well.

    My friends had 2 of their burgers and they seemed to like it.

    Service was good, but nothing exceptional. The lady was nice and attentive.
