One of the better Irish bars I've been to in midtown (and I've been to several). Attentive bartenders who know their alcohol. They charged my Android for me which was sweeeeet. Kitchen open til 2am. Down to earth cheery atmosphere. Most patrons were in their late 20s/early 30s. TVs everywhere but they're all playing the same thing. Had no more than 10 people inside on a Saturday night but wasn't awkward at all.
It was open on Thanksgiving! And it was crowded because so many places were closed.
However, we still received warm and friendly service from the busy waitress. They only had a Thanksgiving menu (plus the regular appetizer menu) so I can't comment too much on food. Since I wasn't up for turkey, I had some chicken wings. They were fine. Beer selection was small but decent.
The place is clean and has a very cheerful vibe and atmosphere. I probably wouldn't frequent this place, but it seems like a reliable spot in the neighborhood.
My co-worker and I stopped in after going off-site for training and we wandered in here. The bar was your typical bar in the afternoon. A pretty empty space since it was post-lunch, pre-Happy hour crowd. We got to sit at the end of the bar and afternoon drink our beers in peace while The Eagles and Springsteen and Van Halen came on over the speakers-which pleased my co-worker immensely, other than that it's a bar with a decent selection of beers and disinterested daytime bartenders.
$8 for well drinks is pretty dang good for NYC. We just stumbled into this place after looking for a bar nearby. It's was within walking distance of our hotel and not too far from Midtown. No doorman or bouncer. It wasn't too busy, just a few other patrons. We seated ourselves – plenty of options and a waitress promptly came by to take our order. We all got some type of mixed drink. One of my friends even asked for a recommendation of something sweet. That drink turned out to taste like rubbing alcohol so yeah I'm sticking to what I know. Anyways drinks came out quickly. The atmosphere was nice – dark and had music but it wasn't so loud that we couldn't talk to each other normally, and also a few TVs showing sports in the background. My vodka soda was strong and we only stayed a little bit for one before hitting the next bar. But yeah not sure if it was a weekday special or happy hour or just the norm, but I totally appreciated the reasonably priced drinks.
Was in the city for lunch with a friend to do a long overdue catch up and he suggested this place since he had been there a few times in the past. Now I am familiar with a couple of the Irish Pubs in the region and aware of their burger fare but since I had not gone here before I was interested in learning what their offerings were like.
I ordered up a pint of Bass ale since I was not returning to work like my friend was and figured my best bet for the first time would be a cheeseburger platter with fries and its standard lettuce and tomato. No onion for me though since they have been proven to kill my stomach for some reason of late. It came out quick despite the pub having a decent lunch crowd already which I liked and as far as the atmosphere of the place goes it was comfortable.
The staff was friendly but there was no free or paid for WiFi to speak of and since I am someone who likes to use Foodspotting and Twitter when in a new place I was a little bummed about that. Check it out though since the burger was good and they had a nice menu of some other solid choices.
While we all understand that food issues occur in even the finest establishments from time to time, the reaction that such an issue receives tells much about the quality of management and restaurant operations.
A serving of Rumours fries sickened a dining companion – immediately and severely so. The restaurant was contacted about this a few hours later – but no management rep was in last night.
The call back today from Kerry confirmed only one serving (the one that sickened the diner) of this dish left the kitchen last night.
What was most disturbing was (a) the lack of an apology and (b) the argument that it "could not have been from our fries" and "must have been something eaten earlier in the day".
So badly handled.
Stopped in for a beer. Typical NYC Irish bar. Not anything particularly special.
Very good burgers here! I stopped in for dinner and some Guinness drafts. The bartender that waited on me just came to the US from Ireland eight weeks ago. He was very polite and attentive and one of the main reasons that I'm giving this place a four. Shortly after I finished my perfectly cooked medium rare burger and fresh steak cut fries my bartenders relief came in. This dude was exactly what you'd expect from a NYC bartender. Rude, to the point and couldn't have cared less about the customer. Luckily I was done and ready to go but I may have stayed for another round if the second bartender wasn't such a tool haha
Either way, I'd recommend trying this place out for the burger. Hopefully you'll get the kid from Ireland to wait on you…
