“Warm welcome from the friendly staff and quick service, finding this place was an absolute godsend after spending too long in 1°C temperatures.”
“This is a great place to stop if you are in the Pace University/Courthouse area of downtown.”
“Very authentic/old-school/divey etc. but somehow stands out compared to the other Irish pubs around Fulton.”

Can't do better than this happy hour ($3 beers, $5 well drinks and wine), and it lasts until 7. Very authentic/old-school/divey etc. but somehow stands out compared to the other Irish pubs around Fulton.
Cheers meets Manhattan!

I like the atmosphere at The Beekman. It's not flashy, it's not new, but it's a classic a pub right down to the regulars sitting at the bar. After admiring the elaborate woodwork of an old English style pub you can't help but gaze upon a vast selection of beers on tap, a personal favorite for me. They have everything from Sam Adams and Stella Artois to Shock Top and Guinness. They even had local beer from the Newburgh Brewing Company. All the selections were very much appreciated.
The restaurant seating is in a room immediately adjacent to the pub. Plenty of seating in both tables and booths with room to accommodate pretty much any size group.
My brother and I stopped in for lunch today. The staff who greeted us was friendly and we were seated immediately. The menu had a nice selection of specials that change daily. The selection for our visit on a Friday included Stuffed Shells and a Broiled Seafood Platter. We decided to start off with a quick appetizer before moving onto our main course. We chose the Fried Calamari with Marinara Sauce ($8.95). The calamari at The Beekman was delicious, and recommended. The marinara sauce had a decent amount of spice and the calamari was cooked well and not overdone. I've had way too many bad experiences with rubber calamari!
We ordered from the Butcher Block section of the menu, I chose the Choice Cheeseburger Deluxe ($9.95) and my brother had the Choice Hamburger Deluxe ($8.95) with Onion Rings (+$1). The food was delivered to the table in a reasonable amount of time. The burgers themselves were on the petite side. In our case the buns were actually larger than the burgers. The burgers were very tasty, definitely choice beef and a cut above the rest. They were very juice too. We order them medium rare and they were prepared as we ordered. The waitress was friendly and checked back to see how we like our meals.
Overall we had a great experience having lunch at The Beekman. Nice atmosphere, tasty food, friendly people, the recipe for a return visit.
Two thumbs up, we'll be back.
Cozy fi di pub. Havent been here in a few years,I remember they make a great Saurbraten on Thursdays but I went on a Wednsday so I settled fot the Pot Roast. The Pot Roast itself was tender if a tad dry and the sauce was kinda salty and gloppy. The corn fritters it came with were a disaster,leaden and way too chewy. Mashed potatoes tasted more like instant and string beans and corn were bland.
Server was very nice as was the owner which merit it the extra star. I remember the food here being a lot better so this was pretty dissapointing.
Very straightforward bar. Don't expect any fancy drinks here ladies because they don't know how to make any. I requested a Vodka S-lime (Fresh Lime juice, Grey Goose and 7-Up). She used Rose's Lime Juice. HOW is that sticky sweet sludge ANYTHING like Fresh lime juice? Drink was terrible. Even if she used concentrated lime juice, it would have been better.
Stick with beer.
Dead of Saturday Night
Wandering about the financial district and stumbled across this pub and grabbed a seat at the bar for a drink. Some mumbling bartender asked what we wanted to drink. My wife ended up with a light beer (really wanted a light style) and for me a dark beer (got a pale ale), oh well, both tasted ok.
The Beekman has been around since the 1930's but it is not ran like an old bar anymore. It is beautiful bar with a cool stained glass window saying The Beekman. There is just something missing here. It was Saturday night and it was dead in NYC. It makes you wonder how the place stays open when you know they aren't making any money on a weekend night.
The worst part is a couple of beers cost us 20 bucks with tip. We won't be back and it's ashamed because it is a beautiful classic looking pub.
Thanks
Closer to a 3, but rounding it up to a 4 because nostalgia set in. When I lived in the Financial district 14 years ago, it was a good go-to spot.
Sat at the bar. Burger and fries were decent. Beer was cold. Service was quick. Beyond that, there's not much else to tell.
The Financial District has changed so much over the years. Truth be told, I miss it when it was still a ghost town at night and on the weekends, and this was one of the few choices that remained opened. There's a tear in my beer……
Nice Irish pub that I have gone to for lunch every so often. The beers and ciders are cold, the food is good.
On My last visit I realized I haven't reviewed this place yet. I've been coming for years, but I'm not really in the area often. The place is nothing special, it's just cozy. Like most Irish bars, dark wood, televisions, music, you know, the standard fair.
I almost always grab an icy cold Magners here though. Not sure why, but they just taste great in this place. I can usually throw down two or three before I realize what I'm doing. The pints are a bit expensive here though. I'm more used to the $4-5 bars, here a pint goes for $7.
The food is good. From burgers, to sandwiches, and appetizers, I haven't had a bad meal. On my last trip I got a pastrami sandwich with Swiss and fries. Not too big, but just enough to get you through the day.
Good place to grab a few and a nice meal. The staff is also very nice.
Beekman's is a nice option for a pint when you're in the area. I love the look of the place. It has an olde Irish pub feel to it, and when I was there the olde Irish clientele to match. Seems like a solid happy hour option. I will definitely consider stopping here again if I'm in the area.
