“I would recommend the hanger steak sandwich and chicken fingers.”
“Try the fish and chips, it's light and crisp, although a little on the pricey-side.”

Came by after a work event and must say this place was pretty blah. The bartender was decent, we weren't asking for much just a few vodka clubs. The old school decor was cute and a nice touch but other things were just out dated like the drinking glasses and chairs.
Anyway, we had to continue asking for things like water, another round and food menu. Bartender didn't really seem like he would have asked if we needed anything if we hadnt continued to get his attention.
Food was okay, we orderd some shrimp, calamri, and spring rolls. I dont think we may have finished it all I think we really were about our cocktails.
Would I normally go back to this place, probably not. Would I recommend it, meh. I mean if you want to stop in for a quick beer and you live in the neighborhood okay. Other than that I dont really think this place is that great.
Its a simple bar, quick food service, generous bartender, decent food.
The calamari was filling, crisp and great with their wheat based house beer.
My friends really enjoyed their burgers.
Dinky little dive bar pretty much in the middle of Midtownowhere. Went here only because of a post-dinner firm event (free beer!), wouldn't come back. Essentially has all the characteristics of your usual dive – well shots, TVs, standing room, wooden theme – but miniature scale and poor quality. Lots of better options.
I came in with a group of ten after a New Years Eve show at Terminal 5. The bar was pretty much empty, with about 3 people sitting at the bar, none of which I think were there together. The bartender greeted us warmly, we were loud but not rowdy or trashed and I'm sure that helped make us a bit less annoying. A few more people came in the bar after us and things livened up a bit.
Traditional Irish pub decor, really nice on the inside. They have Patron Xo Cafe Liqueur. It's not a place I'd come out of my way for but it happened to be exactly what we needed that night.
Came here last Friday night because it was really close to our hotel. Luckily we came in right before it got super crowded, so we were able to be seated right away. Unfortunately what was most memorable was the fact that they serve you water in these really pretty glasses that are way too small, and then fail to refill them promptly. We had to stop eating a couple times because we couldn't get any more down without some water. Even after we asked we still had to wait a bit.
I feel bad about being bothered by it because it was obvious that there was just one man serving that whole entire section (and it was seriously busy), but water is one of those basic needs. It would really help if they just served it in normal sized glasses. They'd be helping us and themselves.
Resorted to eating here since we couldn't find any other appealing options near Terminal 5.
Very overpriced but decent food. Fries were the best part. They have a good house beer but it wasn't really served cold enough. Seating was a bit cramped in the restaurant area with rickety chairs and benches. The service was pretty good.
With all that being said, this place fulfilled our need for a meal and a beer, but it isn't anything worth going back for.
I used to come here a bit when I was in grad school and it was a good hangout. Recently I came back here for a few pre-concert beers and some food. (Terminal 5 is right around the corner)
The place is a lot rowdier than I remember and it's only been like 3 years. The food prices have gone up quite a bit too. To be honest I was very uncomfortable for whatever reason. We finished our drinks and took off without ordering food.
Popped in here before heading off to a concert. There was no one to greet us nor any space at the bar so we just grabbed a seat at one of the booths that didn't say reserved.
I had a few Stellas, as their draft beer selection isn't that extensive. Mostly the usual suspects but that's about it.
We split some appetizers including the white pizza and the quesadillas. They were all pretty good and the usual pub fare.
I utilized the men's room because the women's loo was taken by someone. The bartender just smiled and waved me in. The bathroom wasn't teeny tiny like many in NYC and was actually clean so that's always a perk in my book.
It took us a while to get our check but the waiter was nice.
