Solid 3 stars for drinks and appetizers.
This place is located on the back side of the shoppes at Columbus Circle and is usually steady busy but not overwhelming. Occasionally there is a game or two on the big screen TV's over the bar. Plenty of seating at the bar, as well as off to the side near the window. The restaurant area has multiple tables, the place is not very large but has a homey feel. It is located downstairs from the entrance. It can be a little bit on the chilly side when it is cold out.
The staff is very friendly and will take care of your drinks quickly and keep them filled. Typically I order appetizers here, the mozzarella sticks and buffalo wings are delicious and the food always comes out hot and fresh.
If you're looking for a quick bite to eat, this is the spot. Very down to earth and casual pub. Service is straight-forward. Ordered a cheeseburger with swiss cheese. It was fine and the fries were great. We weren't rushed for lunch. Overall a pleasant meal. Good spot to go to if you're looking for bar food at a good price in Columbus Circle/Hell's Kitchen.
Perfect little find.
After an eventful day I was less than energetic. My girl-friends and I stumbled upon this spot and we got our spirits-on!
Their prices were good specially for being columbus circle, where I just assume everything is $$$ due to the tourists attraction. It was very relaxed and definitely felt more of the restaurant vibe. We sat at the bar, the bartender was polite but not annoying, chatted with us just enough then just let us be.
My friends and I definitely felt comfortable and enjoyed our drinks, specially after posing with the adorably handsome coasters where you can pretend to be one of the lost McGargles. Yes, the coasters are from last year but as if that matters! fun has no expiration date!
Came here with a friend on Friday night. We got a table upstairs and the service was good. The drinks were good too, though I think their rocks glasses are pretty small. They did make my friend a nice hot toddy 🙂 She had the French onion soup and a salad, and said everything was good. I had the fish and chips and enjoyed every bite. (I did come home and poo my brains out but I can't be sure of the correlation. Consider yourself warned….)
Restaurant/small bar area is upstairs, larger bar is downstairs.
Great place with plenty of seating to get some pub food and relax with friends. Prices are inexpensive given the area this restaurant is in. Came here around 8pm yesterday and it was relatively quiet. It was a nice change of atmosphere given that we were in Times Square earlier in the day.
Would come back.
Came here for a Seinfeld trivia on Monday and I enjoyed both, the bar and trivia. The bar has two levels, but the trivia was held upstairs so I never saw it. My team was designated to sit at the bar, but I had a decent view and as I arrived very early it was relatively empty. The bar is located to the right and has a bunch of tables for dining. I opted for the cheeseburger and fries and the burger was excellent. I also had mozzarella sticks, they too were excellent. The bartenders and staff were very helpful and attentive as the pack ultimately got packed. The lady I had continiously refilled my water without me asking and to my delight.
All and all, I had a great time. We even came in forth place out of maybe twelve teams or more (close, but no cigar).. I would definitely come here again.
We stopped in for a short stop to cool down after a picnic in Central Park on a super hot day. We had an infant with us and our waitress was really accommodating (note: no changing tables in the restrooms). We had a quick drink and some of the curry cheese fries which were really tasty!
A bar with a decent menu. That's my kind of place.
Came here for a quick casual lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Great service, delicious food and a decent selection for it being a bar. Not much else to say other than you can't go wrong here. There's something for everyone and there's alcohol. What's not to love?
