McGettigan’s NYC

“Last Tues I attended the Trivia night and John Mauro is FANTASTIC couldn't get a better person to host.”

“McGettigan's is what I would call aggressively modern – glass, glow, TVs, a short cocktail list but a long whiskey selection.”

“Trivia Night was so much fun and is run upstairs in a private area that again has seats that are extremely comfortable.”

  1. What! I'm pumped I live so close to Mcgettins! For sure the new go to with many tvs and an awesome lounge vibe. Don't let the decor fool you- it's Irish inspired and the food is great. I wish I had come here in the beginning of football season because I defiantly would of been there every Sunday to watch the games, comfortably. We went on a Sunday during the day for some brunch. Our table for the sliders, eggs Benedict, steak sandwich, mushroom bruchetta, calamari, and a chicken wrap. All very good with great presentation. We kept adding people to our group and our server was very accommodating.

  2. I stopped by on a Friday after work & upon entering I was like whoa … Where exactly am I ?? This place resembles nothing like a typical pub normally does.
    Definitely has more of a club / lounge feel to it very cool looking , decent music playing & your typical Manhattan crowd.
    We did our best at getting situated since the place was pretty crowded it was hard finding a place to stand by.
    Our first round of drinks took a bit of time we got our drinks Stella & Blue Moon , can't go wrong with beer Jack & Diet was good.
    I am not too thrilled with this place round took forever & never came now I don't know who to blame here the management for not hiring enough bartenders or the bartender for acknowledging me & still he kept serving others in front of him ?
    I really don't know what to say here he saw me , yet still 10-15 minutes later we had no drinks ?? Yes the place was packed & maybe a little patience would be In order on our part but not to the point where it took so long & the bartender just kept helping others before us no matter what direction they came from & we were standing close up by the bar.
    Drinks took so long that we ended up leaving , paid the check & moved on.
    Now here is something odd I paid the bill w tip noticed it post to my acct then a day or so later I see the tip amount in pending on it's own? What the hell ?? Shady not cool the tip eventually did not post but what exactly does this say ? Someone is clearly not paying attention while doing their job or trying to pull a fast one on customers? make sure to check your receipts.
    I wanted to give this place 2 stars but settled on 3 only because of the atmosphere , service was very slow bartenders don't seem to pay too much attention, price wise it wasn't bad.
    Can't say that I won't come back but we'll see what happens next time.

  3. What a jewel of a place!  Such a great vibe and amazing food! You can tell the people who run this place know what hospitality is!  Everyone is great and the food and drinks are great!  If you are in this neighborhood eat here!!!!! Seriously!

  4. Came here again with coworkers. The servers came over (all at once) and we had a lot of laughs, and chatted a bit. The fish and chips came with EVEN LESS fish pieces than was stated in my last review!

    I asked two different servers if Alan was around and if we could say a few words just to say hi and thank him for his response on Yelp, and it seems he didn't really have the time for us, even though he clearly was chatting with other patrons. Too bad. I thought he valued his neighbors' business. Will think twice next time.

  5. Odd place! I expected an Irish pub but it is like a lounge inside. Lots of bright colors and the walls change color constantly. The changing colors were a bit disorienting – esp. once everyone's faces and appetizers started turning green, blue, red. We had to move away from the wall actually to tone it down a bit. The vibe (as my supervisor put it) was strip club meets sushi lounge.

    It is pretty spacious which worked since we came here for a work farewell party.

    Friendly service. My one complaint was when we asked for another drink menu since we had a larger group, the waiter said he'll check since there weren't that many. Really? You're a bar, get some extra drink menus. It wasn't even crowded or anything.

    Decent beer/drink selection.

    Food was better than expected. The calamari was very good and I liked the French Fries a lot as well. Wings were decent.

    Oh and they do trivia here Tuesday nights!

  6. I will go with a 4 … but for me it's a little bit of a round up.  I did have a good time here.  I went here because Kean's next store was packed and there was no way we were getting a table.  The location here is great and it's not too far from Penn and MSG.  Anyway, the vibe in here is a little different because with the name you think its going to be an Irish pub …but its very lounge-y inside with colored lights and more modern decor.  The place is spacious and that is a plus.  My service at the bar was great.  When I sat at a table it took a little while to get noticed, but once we did the service was good.  There is a better than decent beer/drink selection.  The food choices are also better than average for a bar environment.  I ordered the chili and thought it could have been better.  My companion had a burger and it looked good and he was happy.  If I went back I would order a steak or a burger.  This bar was not too loud and this was nice and appreciated.  I was there to catch up with an old friend and the conversation was very easy to have.  I can recommend McGettigan's.

  7. One of my favorite bars in NY! It has a very cool atmosphere. You almost feel like you walked into Oz. Behind the bar, there is a wall full of shelves with bottles. It's lit up green, giving it a very cool appearance.

    For seating, this bar has it all. They have comfortable booths, a long bar with bar stools, and pub tables. They also have a great outdoor patio.

    I really loved that they had a ton of happy hour specials and promotions. You can tell they work hard to keep it interesting there. They also have a large drink and food menu, so you're guaranteed to find something you'll like.

  8. Nice place modern decor and neon. Current music and muted television sets.  Variety or seating, I prefer the corner and low ceilings in the what I think of as the library.  Huge hamburger, I like the bun, , it stood up to the bacon,  cheese, and meat topped by a huge onion ring.  Accompanied by perfectly tried French fries.  Friendly servers, thanks guys!
