  1. I love the fact that this place is only a block away from home. Open late with good food, decent drinks, and $1 OYSTERS ALL DAY! This place isn't particularly busy at any point of the day, so it's easy to jump in for a bite or a drink. Check the specials on the board before entering. I just wish they had a specials drink menu, which can only be seen from the bar. The foxy john burger was good, served on a pretzel bun, with shoe string onions, and some type of aoili. Personally, I would've preferred caramelized onions, the shoestring onions were a bit overpowering. They have huge oysters with all the fixings! Decent selection of bottled beers. Gonna come back and try some of their signature cocktails.

  2. Ate here for a mid-afternoon late lunch. Friendly service though the place is very dark – we're talking iphone torches to read the menu dark!

    The food was good, though arrived alarmingly quickly – our appetisers arrived about 5 minutes after ordering, like they'd had them sat there ready.

    Burger was good, as were onion rings. Mains came whilst we were still eating apps, which is a little annoying, but they were very friendly, so it was hard to knock a point off for that!

    All in all would recommend if you're hungry and passing by.

  3. Had the Irish Car Bomb as a starter.. Just one shot  
    Ordered 3 kind of appetizers, mussel, calamari rings and BBQ ribs, they taste ok
    Price is reasonable in the city.
    Will I go back? Yes

  4. Have stopped in here a few times for our Friday lunches for the  job we are on. Service has always been good and the beers are cold and poured right. The Foxy John burger is pretty damn good. Comes with fries nicely presented. We will be back!

  5. the name may sound like a house of ill repute, but it's just an Irish pub and I do like my Irish pubs.

    reasonable selection of beers, good music but not loud, sports on TV but volume off. welcome to the wonderful world of day-drinking; is this the part of the show where I tell you that I had Good Friday off from work?

    my Cleveland relatives met up with me here after suffering through a Times Square visit and they enjoyed it. the mozzarella sticks my niece got were actually pretty good. prices were reasonable and service was prompt. I'd come back to check out the food too.

  6. I really liked this place and surprisingly you probably wouldn't notice much from the outside just passing by. I had just finished a long day at the office with coworkers and we were all at a loss for where to go eat after we grabbed a few cocktails at another nearby pub. We decided we wanted something American and easy to grab so we looked on Yelp and this place had pretty good reviews so we said why not! We walked into what is a darker environment lit by neon lights at the bar but then directed to the back room because of the size of our party which was fairly sized. The back is well lit and a little less crowded-at least when we went and our waitress was quick and attentive which surprised me for a bar like atmosphere, more kudos to her. We ordered quite a bit to start off with to share as a group-oysters, calamari and some spice mozzarella type sticks. They were all good but no take me to heaven moment but also perfect for the group setting and the oysters were really good considering the bar/restaurant concept so I was surprisingly delighted. Most of us orders the foxy burger and I added bacon as well as pickles. To my realization though, they only had spear pickles and if you're like me it just doesn't workout when I want it on my burger so that was a miss for me but the burger was good and juicy and not in an overly greasy way. My coworkers all loved it too and one even mentioned it was one of the best she had tried. I don't know if I can say the same but I'd certainly recommend it. My turn off was the pretzel bun-not because I don't like these buns but rather because it was a bit salty for my taste. Also I ordered mine medium and it was over cooked so I didn't have as much luck with mine but it was still good. I would certainly come back to this place and recommend it-it's a good environment where you can actually hear the people your with and I always appreciate that.

  7. Twice in the same day. Once with the family for some chicken wings, salads and sandwiches for lunch. Everything, including the service was great. The wings came quick and were decent wings.

    Dinner with a group of 15 or so and we all had dinner. Waiter took orders from one end of a long table and therefor got the order wrong a few times. He should have walked down the table and taken the orders closer to the people. Food was decent.. was really tasty from the fish tacos, to swordfish to kale and quinoa salad.

    Tried to go back the next day but they were closing at 8:45 ish on Xmas eve. to bad, we wanted to do food and more drinks.

  8. 4.5 stars

    $1 oysters all day long in Midtown!  I couldn't believe how fresh and plump they were for $1.  

    We sat in the back and also ordered their chicken tacos ($12) and Foxy John's burger ($15).  The burger was huge and came with a generous side of fries.  The fries were square cut and very light and crispy for its size!

    Our food, especially the oysters, came rather quickly.  Must return for more!  The bar gets packed but the restaurant itself doesn't get filled up until ~6:30pm.
