“As far as neighborhood bars go, it's hard to think of a better place to to escape the neighboring chaos in Chelsea.”
“In addition to this, it's a great place to catch both a Jets and Giants game, play video golf and dj the party on the juke box.”

Peter McManus is an awesome neighborhood pub. Great place to grab some Guinness, play music, dance, catch up with friends, etc. the place is actually pretty big which is awesome and the bar is long so there's ample seating.
I generally get here late after 10 or so and its always got some folks chatting and enjoying a few.
The bartenders are good souls too!
This is the type of place I would never think to visit..much less frequent.
But there is something to be said about the mix of people that come here. It may sound corny but this is the true NY experience. Black…white..Hispanic. .Asian. .gay..straight. .bi…blue collar. .white collar..young..old..middle aged…hard core functional alcoholics..and 20 somethings trying to outdrink each other with a few occasional tourists mixed in.
Bartenders are really great and make some kick a$$ drinks. Food is great too..your usual barfare with some interesting specials. The burgers are delish..I highly suggest a bacon cheddar burger with grilled onions topped off with a fried runny egg (the egg part is not on the menu. .but they'll make it for you if you ask nicely .The Reubens are fantastic as well.. absolute dieters nightmare. But they do offer grilled chicken salads. .wraps…tuna…shrimp for those watching their waistline.
Music is great..really nice variety. ..
McManus is a true NY family owned dive bar..this is such a special place..I hope things never change. .
The Peter McManus Cafe sounds all cute, but, at the end of the day, it is really just a divey, dirty Irish pub. They do have a back room, which makes it good for groups. Plus, they brew their own beer, the McManus Ale, which is actually pretty flavorful. But, otherwise, this place is just eh.
Not a bad little bar. Enjoyed NY visit there Saturday night. Will have to make a return trip for sure….
A bacon cheeseburger and fries on St. Patrick's Day is a tradition I have had here for many a year. Peter McManus is one of the last of the good old Irish pubs that are now becoming dinosaurs in this country. Now I do love the modern versions, but there is something about an old wooden bar, where you can converse with anyone, and have some old school pub fare! The one thing I would like for you to add would be a nice Irish breakfast!
After enduring a gruesome stressful and worn-out workday, a friend and I came here for some libation to chill the night away. When the standard eight hour workday is over, I escape to my many passions and good company. This party of two company was not enjoyable as I had hoped when the person whom you're with was not in a good mindset killed the mood and makes it increasing difficult of his very irritable draining demon spirit.

My dinner consists of:
Tater Tots $4.90

Peter McManus is not a standard bar but also serve food. Condiments are readily available upon arrival of food to the table or bar. I love bar food… tater tots, buffalo wings, burgers, Mozzerella sticks and fries as a foodie I'm open to all genres and ethnic foods. However to my dismay, this friend is a fool to keep a close mind for all things foodie as one can forsaken life's daily bloodline as he believes it is does not excite him. Thereby making him a Petulant baby boy!
Business cards are available by request of thermography printing with chessy /corny wording: "this card is not wroth anything But it is free." Atmospheric conditions contains two old fashioned telephone booths with fully operational coin phones. It appears to be established for many decades as even their business card is without a telephone area code going back to the day when only Manhattan carried the 212 area code. TV screens are plastered on the walls for sports. Bar tenders are hustling busy serving patrons ergo, at times dismiss our summons for the bill to turnover this endless night. Ladies, there are no hooks under the bar for bags or personal belongings as you'll have to put it on your lap while sitting on the stool. Patrons are a mix of young professionals, hotties, men in suits, fossils, sport fanatics, foodies, avid libation lovers, and bachelors.
Peter McManus is certainly a tier above a dive bar but do not bear all the overprice of an upscale restaurant.
Alcohol is alcohol. Very divey. Maybe it's not the perfect place to hang out on Cinco de Mayo, but it's still a cool place.
Dirty dingy irish bar good for a drink and the crack with friends
Fish tank is pristine and gorgeous. Guinness is delish. Art is interesting.
13 $ Fish and chips- is ok. It's nice that there's a veg side.
Bathrooms are fine.
