Location location location! This bar/restaurant is located a block from Madison Square Garden and across from the Affinia Hotel. I have visited it a few times, mostly for the convenience of it.
I have sat in the dining area and the bar, and I prefer the bar area. The drinks were good, and the bartender was super friendly and attentive.
The menu is like a sports bar, but the decor is a little more elegant.
As far as food goes, I only remember the chicken wings and they were worth the memory. Very tasty and fried hard – a win with me !
I really looked for a reason to deduct a star, but I could not think of anything to not like. Great customer service, pretty restaurant and good food. Win win – especially when your feet are tired from a long manhattan day !
I stopped by here with my friend on our way back to our hotel room. It is a cool spot and really close to the subway and train station! This place has a full bar and a restaurant seating area on one side. Its nice to separate the two for people who don't want to nessesarlily sit at the bar. The customer service was great and the food was pretty good! I had a bowl of their tomoato soup and a chicken wrap. The tomato soup was very flavorful and hit the spot! Especailly because I have been freezing my bottom off being in NY when Im a true AZ girl! Haha! The chicken wrap was decent. I think it could have used a little more flavor, but the chicken was moist and it was filling! If you are in the area I would ddefinitly say check this place out! 🙂
Just grabbed a quick drink here because I had some time to kill before my train (very close to NY Penn). Very odd ambiance – decor has white tablecloth feel, but Rangers stuff everywhere (again, right next to MSG so I get it), but people were dressed very casually. Not quite sure what they're going for, but next time, I'll have to order some food.
This spot is close to a bus stop I use when I come to NY. This is my second time eating here…. Nice atmosphere, sports bar with a bit more class. The food is good but my vegetarian lasagna had that Luke warm…. Zapped in the microwave vibe to it. The plate was more hot than the food. It was still good and considering the location, I would visit it again. The prices are reasonable as well. Fast service but then again, how long does it take to microwave leftovers
Needed a bar close to MSG to have some drinks before a show. Stumbled across this place saw it was an Irish pub and thought it would be a good choice. Sat at the bar and the bar itself was pretty nice with a granite bar top that was very clean. Greeted fast from a native dubliner bartender. Well that's a good sign. 2 of the bartenders were actually Irish. They were ok personality wise, a little sarcastic and one of them kept going on his phone. Drinks were good and Guinness was poured right. I can't comment on the food because I didn't have any.
I did like the atmosphere of the bar and the games they had on the tvs were a good selection. I also liked the 90s dance music they had playing in the background. Bartenders are eh, drinks are good. I'll probably be back for some drinks before or after doing stuff in the area.
Perfect spot if you are looking to kill some time before a train. I can't comment on the food but the bartender was friendly and drinks were fine. For a Saturday night it was pretty quiet. The crowd was a mix of young, old, and sports fans watching games on the tvs above the bar.
Zaaaaaaaaaamn. Some people really do not like this place.
It's just your standard Irish pub. We came here to pregame before a show and it was great that it was literally across the street from MSG. We had two bartenders, and one of them was fascinated with the design of my coffee cup.
They have Angry Orchard on tap which I was happy about. We did a few shots of whiskey and then shared a plate of bbq shrimp before we moseyed on out of there. Food was better than we thought, and we left with a great buzz just in time for Disclosure.
Ok enough spot to pregame. It was pretty quiet for 10:30pm on a Saturday night. We put down a credit card for the food and two rounds of drinks.
We'd have stayed for a third round but the two bartenders didn't seem to be paying much attention to our group of four couples. One bartender was catching a chat with a girl at the end of the bar and the other bartender catching up with another guy.
Maybe their friends come to hang out and keep them company when it's slow?
