My friend and I both had stomach aches after we ate!
The $11 dollar burrito was supposed to be with wild shiitake mushrooms and goat cheese. The mushrooms were canned for sure, and trader joes frozen burritos tasted better.
My friend got wings and said they were terrible. And expensive.
Waiter constantly tried to upsale. And for an Irish pub they have a very poor draft list. If you like bud light and expensive frozen food this is the place to go.
Mr. Dennehy's is of the Irish pub ilk that you typically find along 9th Ave. behind Port Authority. Instead, it thankfully resides on Carmine St., in the shabby-chic West Village. It's an outlier, clearly. But it's also stood the test of time while other, trendier establishments in the vicinity have shut their doors. To me, it's still your standard neighborhood pub with a lucky zip of 10014.
I do enjoy the all-Irish staff and the accompanying brogue – makes the place feel warm and authentic and apparently a Guinness commercial was even filmed here. The sidewalk seating come the summer is a good move if you can snag a table. I've also been in their basement for March Madness viewing parties, and it's essentially your own private room. Though, to represent Mr. D's fairly, soccer is certainly the sport of choice here. The street-level main area typically has footie on the tellies and the bar is decked out in clear support of Everton FC.
When it comes to food, go for their signature Mr. Dennehy's Burger – it's a solid half-pound patty on an English muffin bun. Everything else here has been fine, maybe a little unmemorable, since I, you know, can't seem to remember anything else standing out, despite being here a good handful of times. The taps are a typical mix of American standbys and UK/Irish imports, and you can usually find a deal or two come happy hour.
I wish I had more to say, but Mr. Dennehy's is what it is – a no-frills Irish pub in a somewhat frilly part of town. Go for a pint, go to catch a match, and, like, Erin go Bragh, brah.
I came here with friends on a Friday after work for drinks since the weather was finally warm. We got a table outside and, knowing about their happy hour in advance, we ordered margaritas but oddly, this isn't listed on the drink menu they have at the table (do your research beforehand). $10 gets you a 16 oz margarita that's pretty strong. I shared this with my boyfriend and got buzzed just from half of it so the full thing would be well worth the money.
For dinner, I ordered the Slow Roasted Chicken with grilled veggies (instead of brussel sprouts) and fingerling potatoes. Everything was really well seasoned and perfectly cooked. It was a more-than-generous portion so you definitely get your money's worth for $20, unlike some other places. The servers were attentive and the atmosphere was very nice and relaxing, not overly busy or crowded so that was nice. I'd love to come back and try some of their other cocktails, too!
Great Irish bar complete with Irish accented bartenders. The dark oak everything makes you want to warm up with a beer or bourbon while escaping cold and rain.
Service here is super hospitable. I walked in as a group of five and we were promptly offered table service or seats together along the bar. The owner moved aside his own water so I could have his seat, and joked around with me any time he came by. The bar is long with room for probably 10-15 people, and there are high top tables along the opposite wall. There's a back area dining room with tables as well if you want to go for dinner.
Their manhattans are great, the Guinesses are poured correctly, and their sweet wine selection is limited (I'm fine with that). They do offer a long list of specialty coffee drinks (ie. Irish coffee, with kahlua, with baileys, etc.) that are fantastic in taste and presentation.
I'm in. See you there. If the food is good too, consider this a 5 star.
We arrived during a futbol/soccer match. It was a lot of fun. The service was amazing and the ambiance was top notch. Even their restroom was clean. Good place for a beer.
Relatively nice day out calls for outside happy hour. Friday after work this place is almost empty inside, but completely booked for curbside seating. After a little wait, managed a table for 5 without much issue.
Thankfully knew about the happy hour because it's not listed on their menu. Got a $6 draft beer and $10 16oz margarita. Not the greatest deal ever, but again, we wanted to drink outside. Margarita is strong and the drinks came out pretty fast. For food, shared the mozzarella sticks ($9) – six large pieces of deep fried cheese goodness with marinara sauce. The breading is a little salty, which I balanced out with the drinks.
All in all, a fine spot for outdoor drinking. No frills standard Irish bar.
The Quick: Great place to watch the game without insane crowds.
The Details: Food was very good "bar food". I recommend the $20 pitcher and wings or mozzarella sticks deal during any football game – keeps the boys happy while I get my snack on. I will return.
The Damage: Prices are on par for Nyc sports bar. It won't break the bank to enjoy a few drinks and nibbles here.
I'll be completely honest and say that a friend and I only stopped in here because she had to use the bathroom but we didn't want to come in without buying something. Our other friends were across the street waiting in a long line to get into the speak easy, Little Branch. I grabbed my usual drink at the bar and waited for my friend. It wasn't busy at all inside so I made small talk with the staff.
Didn't make too much of an impression on me. It looks like a typical sports pub. Might return if I'm in the area.
