I picked this place to have lunch, have some beers, and watch a Mets game. The bar was full at lunchtime but there were a few empty tables. I tried a wheat beer from Nebraska which was pretty good and ordered another. For lunch I had French onion soup and shrimp Caesar salad. Both dishes were average at best. Service was slow so I had plenty of time to watch the game and check out the decor. I think people enjoy the memorabilia and that is why this place gets good ratings, because the food is mediocre and the service is slow.
bar food, how can you go wrong? well it did here. my coworkers only come here since it's close to our job but after last week we won't by anymore. the other bar on the block has better food.
we ordered pulled pork sliders, chicken quesadillas (came out burnt), potato wedges, salad and wings. the wings weren't special, potatoe wedges lacked flavor and i didn't bother trying the sliders since i was already turned off.
also getting the waitress' attention was so hard. she only came once to see how we were doing. waited a while and told the bus boy to help us get her to order another beer.
this place is only good for drinking since they have a good selection of beers but don't bother with the food.
I came here with a big Penguins fan, and we weren't quite sure what to expect. When you first walk in, there is tons of various sports memorabilia everywhere. We asked the hostess and she walked us to the back of the bar, where there was a huge projector screen. There was a large party of Penguins fans, as well as some solo supporters.
While it's a typical sports bar, the service while we were there was great. Our beer bucket (great deal) was refilled before it was about done. What more can you ask for from an old sports bar?
An Irish Pub with a baseball attitude.
Came here earlier this evening for an early dinner with the wifey.
The food is typical Irish Pub fare with Nachos, burgers, onion rings etc. They have approximately 108 different beers on tap and bottle. For an appetizer we shared the mini hot dogs, three hotdogs smothered in chili and cheese. The chili had just a slight kick.
For entrees my wife went with the traditional Fish and Chips. I was slightly more adventurous having the Sean Casey burger which was covered with Irish bacon and an over easy egg.
The best part of my night had to be the Sports Memorabilia. Irish Pubs come and go, this one is a bonus with over 1500 autographed baseballs, a multitude of game worn autographed jerseys from many different sports. This is a sports fan's nirvana. But don't try to sing Danny Boy here. It is also famous for banning that song during the month of March since 2008.
Our waitress Kathy was super friendly, even taking the time to give me a tour and pointing out objects of interest. Some of my favorites were the seats from the old stadiums that no longer exist. I counted 12.
Take your time, look around and enjoy the games on the many flat screens they have around.
Slainte!
Drinks: Gin & Ginger (made with Bombay Sapphire and the house gin); Guinness Stout; shots of Maker's Mark – all excellent. Got blissfully buzzed and had zero complaints with the barkeeps.
Food: Nachos were just 'meh', but kept the drunkenness away, so they're to be lauded for that feat alone.
Overall: Casual atmosphere – perfect for after-work imbibing. Barkeeps are friendly and helpful without being pushy or absent. Full bar is a welcome sight as soon as you enter.
Sports bar between Penn Station and the Empire State Building. If you're looking for frills, go to Legends. Foley's has tons of sports memorabilia on the walls, so there's always something to look at or have a conversation about, if you like sports. And if you don't like sports, then… go somewhere else, I guess.
I wanted to eat lunch at an Irish bar and this place did not disappoint! My coworkers and I ordered a ton of food and the waitress was extreme nice and motherly to the three of us girls. The most delicious thing we ordered out of everything we got was definitely the thin-crust pizza with mushrooms and onions, which I don't think I'll ever forget.
As anyone who reads my reviews, of which I'm sure there may be two, I love dive bars. I love how much character they have and how much sentimentality they have from past patrons. The cheap booze is a plus, of course. For whatever reason, I love bars with stuff on the walls. The more cluttered looking, the better. So of course when I walked by and saw the soccer jerseys hanging from the ceiling it became a pretty automatic add to my list. Great beer list with a few beers of their own. Great bar food with a few unique additions. Great service. It's nothing fancy or particularly special, but you need a place like this just like you need comfy jeans that don't make you feel particularly sexy, but don't pinch and but also fit just right. This is the place to come when you don't feel like messing around with all the other places in midtown. You can't go wrong here.
However, the ladies room is down a pretty treacherous flight of stairs, so might not be a bad idea to come here earlier in your night than later.
