  1. Had a few belts and some laughs here on the final night of business trip to NYC. Nice vibe, cocktails were up to snuff, friendly patrons. Didn't sample the grub. Great place to drop in for a cocktail or 3 while in the Times Square area.

  2. Friendly bartenders, good drinks, strange environment-dated booty shaking club music is played-loudly lol
    Not bad tho.

  3. Decent little Irish pub located right by all of the theaters on Broadway. I haven't had the chance to eat here yet, but I have stopped in a couple times before shows to grab some pints that don't cost $11 like they do at the theater. They've got a variety of beer on tap, some Irish selections and also some IPA's as well which I enjoy. Major thing is that you aren't able to sit at a table unless you order food, so pop a squat at the bar or just hang out for a few if you have some time to kill.

  4. Not a bad place. I'd totally come by again to maybe sit down, relax, and have drinks and food. I only stopped in to grab one drink to kill some time before a Broadway show. At this time there was only standing room though. The drink was pretty weak honestly and a typical 10 bucks a glass. But I guess that's not horrendous because I can easily find places that charge 12-14 bucks a glass lol I really liked the atmosphere. I mean- it is currently Christmas time so that might have helped a bit but the place was decorated so nicely- looked like something out of a holiday movie. They were also blasting Christmas songs – but the most popular ones haha Like "Do they know it's Christmas time" by Band Aid. That one always gets me in the mood 🙂 Only stayed for about a half hour. Food walked by on trays and it looked pretty good. Bartenders were also pretty fast with service. I'd come back again- but maybe order a bottled beer instead so I know I'm getting what I paid for 😉

  5. Had a quick drink in here while wandering Times Square waiting for our hotel room to be ready.  Not much to say except they have really nice Cosmopolitans.  I could've had two if we had more time.  They were yummy!

    I did see they had quite a big menu and that they serve a weekend brunch.  Kind of wishing I had the opportunity to try something to eat, but it'll have to wait until my next NYC trip.  Hopefully soon!

  6. The Food is OK, the place is Ok, the service was great.
    I have no complaints, and I do like the fact that they have 3 different floors for different purposes.

  7. Very pleasant lunch here. Downstairs is a little noisy but upstairs is relatively peaceful. Excellent Pastrami Ruben, good burger and tasty fish. Friendly service and they don't bother you. Good location, close to theatre land.
    Great selection of beers on tap.

  8. We got a blue moon here for $5 at the bar. When we were seated upstairs in the dining room the price went up to $7.  Our server was was easily accessible and was there when needed something. Food was good. My only complaint was the upped beer prices.
