“Visiting from California and i spot this place while walking in Time Square.”

“Staff is friendly and most of the crowd seems to be workers from nearly by Rock Center meeting up before going somewhere else.”

  1. This is your standard Irish pub that has happy hour. It was clean. I have nothing more to say.

  2. So the best part about this place was the maître d and bus staff.  The maître d was funny and the bus staff found me a pen when I needed one. They are why this place is getting two stars instead of one. The service was pretty much non existent otherwise. We waited and waited for drinks and to order some food. When we did get some food we ordered the shrimp spring rolls which tasted suspiciously like frozen pizza rolls and were tiny tiny tiny. To add to the places unpleasant taste it left in your mouth, it was completely overpriced. I am sure this place has a ton of potential but for now I would stay clear. Thanks for reading.

  3. Really decent!

    We got mixed up and couldn't find the place we wanted to go for my sister in laws birthday dinner and somehow on a very cold night we ended up here instead.

    It's a small bar with a restaurant in the back. We had the stroller (with detachable car seat) and they managed to get us into their only corner booth which worked perfectly. We kept the stroller up front and took our boy inside.

    The Christmas decor accented their Irish pub set up and it looked adorable. There were a lot of families there even at 9pm.

    The food was really good. A delicious burger (too small for hubbys taste), cooked to perfection. We added jalapeños and jack cheese which was great.

    My sister in law had the filet mignon with polenta and my mother in law had the vegetable burger. They both enjoyed their dishes.

    For an appetizer we shared the crab cake (they claimed it was good, it was only one) and the chicken skewers which were a decent portion and just okay. Chicken was cooked perfectly but they were bland even with the sauce.

    What shocked us in a good way was their dessert. They had 4 options (not a good start), and we chose the chocolate moose cake. It was actually really good!!

  4. Traditional Irish pub in the middle of Manhattan. I had a nice experience here. I popped in for a quick drink while waiting for my girlfriend to run some errands in the neighborhood. The atmosphere was nice. The bartender was friendly and attentive, and the beer was cold and fresh. It was a bit pricey ($8.00 for a Smithwicks & $11.00 for a couples of sliders) but not outrageous for the area.

    I liked it and would be back again if I was in the area and craving some Irish pub food.

  5. Eh, the food here was just decent. We were served quickly but the waitress did not seem particularly invested in informing the chef that we had a nut allergy in our party. The vegetarian options are pretty limited so I ended up ordering the pasta with garlic cream sauce and vegetables (without chicken) and it came with a few florets of steamed broccoli and some shaved carrots on top. The sauce was incredibly bland, really just tasted like a plain white sauce over pasta. Not something I would order again. The atmosphere is decent but our waitress seemed really cranky and we could hear her arguing with other waitstaff. Definitely way overpriced for what the food is.

  6. We stopped in to kill time and grab a quick bite. Bartender was "Johnny on the spot" with his service, but his personality was a little meh…. Food was great, drinks were good and the crowd was friendly.

  7. Hold on. Wait. Do you mean to tell me that a $15.95 burger doesn't come with cheese? That for a slice of cheese you must tack on an additional $2.50? Over $18 for a cheeseburger with a handful of fries. I know what you must be thinking: this burger was prepared by a celebrity chef and is one of those "when in NYC" things. Negative, my dear readers. Those 18 bones are for a typical "nothing special about it" pub burger.

    I understand that I'm in an Irish Pub in midtown, but come on! That is sheer robbery. And if you maybe wanted to share a dish if you're not that hungry, prepare to drop another $6.

    At least I can get a cold draft beer to wash it all down. Sure! Unless you wanted any Sam Adams, Hoegaarden, Blue Moon, or Harp. They're out.

    I'm leaving two stars instead of one simply because the atmosphere was nice, the staff friendly, and the burger wasn't bad (but again, no where NEAR $18).

    Hey tourists and locals trying to feed tourists you're attached too! Keep going east to 2nd avenue. Don't fall into this overpriced trap.

  8. Since my initial review this place has become a frequent place to stop by for drinks.
    Depending on what time u Stop by it can be a bit crowded specially on days when there is some sort of major sports event going on.
    Any other time it's usually not terrible to find a place to sit or stand , u can always just take a regular seat in the back.
    Decent Apple Martinis , Raspberry vodka & Cranberry not bad sometimes can be a bit too much with the juice depending on the bartender.
    Jack & Diet ok & of course can't go wrong with some Stella beer.
    On the food Fries are not bad , kinda of a small serving.
    Wings & Things good to share , comes with Chicken wings good , Good Mozzarella Sticks & Potato skins w bacon & cheese.
    Decent beef sliders & Bacon cheeseburger.
    We usually sit in the bar area , service is good prices id say are a bit pricey on the food.
    Best part Glad they offer a happy hour now , makes for more frequent visits.
