Loved the welcome my friend and I got, (even when we were a bit late for our booking) throughout the service from the fabulous servers. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Bloody brilliant 👏“

“After 10 years second trip back to New York and despite the time difference on Guinness number four at 3am. Great pub, Great Guinness, and great staff. Really busy on a Monday night. Def come here. You won’t regret it.“

“I have very fond memories here, it was like a little home from home for me while I was bi Atlantic for 6 years, working on the same block as the Pig There are lots of “Irish pubs” in the vicinity, although this is the only one that felt like a real pub in the UK rather than a novelty in New York Hopefully I will be back again one day! Thanks for great times when I was missing home 🇬🇧 xxx“

“Travelled to NYC from London just after new year with my wife and son and researched before we came where to catch the game and this place was everywhere when I looked up places to watch Arsenal, I had to come and experience it and was not disappointed! extremely welcomed by the locals and regulars, beautiful atmosphere and very friendly topped off by the excellent bar staff and of course the legendary Christiano. I could tell just from 1 visit O'Hanlons is a very community orientated bar who do so much for the people around them“

“This place throws rocks at other bars. Get a Margret in Mexico or four while you wait for your train, you ain’t gonna regret it. We loved being able to hang here while we waited for the not-so-bullet train to take us back to the city of brotherly shove. Loved it.“

“Great bar, great food. Love the owner! He went out of his way to make us feel welcome. So festive for Christmas.“

“Top notch service/experience“

“Popped in this Irish bar after a recommendation by Prince who does the Go Hybrid NYC pedicab tours. It was a freezing cold day and was nice to enter a warm pub with friendly staff that knows how to run a good Irish pub! I had a few local beers and some loaded potato skins that were very nice!“

“An early New Year’s Eve stop for pints and prosecco turned into a perfect afternoon. Lively energy, an excellent bartender, and books lining the walls made it easy to see why the place filled up so quickly. Even better-you’re welcome to bring your own food.“

“I thought it was weird that we were getting crap service for the first time ever… but when Kian told us that he’s just waiting to quit & move back to Ireland in February, it made sense. Good luck giving crap service elsewhere, Kian!“

“If you’re looking for the perfect local New York bar, this is it. Clean with a relaxed atmosphere and a nice selection of local beers on tap. I even got to meet owner Maggie and we had a nice chat about New York City.“

“Great spot to drink a double Glenmorangie on the rocks after coming from an event at Madison Square Garden, whether it be Basketball, the circus or Wrestling......there can be only one and let it be, Peter McManus Cafe!“

“Great local Irish bar. I was staying a week at a nearby hotel and this place had the exact Irish bar feel I needed. I instantly felt like a regular they were glad to see, coming and going. Proper for an Irish place. Good pours on the beers. I was here for the first 2016 Presidential Debates and there was a lot of opinions, but in true NYC style, nobody got bent, no matter how much of a (&%$g idiot the other person was.“

“Ordered the scones off idea HONY in 2021…waited almost year for the scones to arrive in Texas…forgotten about the scones-was happy to gift the $$$ to help in their life journey. Absolutely delicious!! Now it is 2024 & scones have been reordered! Best $$ ever spent❤️“

“Catherine is awesome… 🤩 Thank you Michael & Catherine for your hospitality. Home from home!! Great pub for food & the craic..“

“Great food, great Guinness, great vibes! Wolfe Tone's was absolutely FABULOUS on Marathon Sunday! Derek was such a pleasure to work with in the weeks before our big day and he and the entire staff took such great care of us and our family and friends post-race! They truly went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable, well-fed, and never without a drink! The location is also great, it was easy for everyone to get to and for everyone to go home from (so close to Grand Central and the 6 train!) One of the best pints of Guinness I've had outside of Ireland, such a cozy atmosphere and incredible staff members. Classic Irish pub food, which everybody loved! The classics are classics for a reason, and they were very well done. I’ve also had dinner here on a regular night, and it’s just as good! Great pub fare, generous portions, and a really relaxed, friendly vibe. It’s not just a perfect event spot, it’s a great place for an everyday meal too. I am so grateful to Wolfe Tone's for being a great, reasonably priced, delicious, comfy and cozy place to celebrate post-race. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to host any kind of event. We had a great time, great food and great memories. Thank you so much Wolfe Tone's!“

“Went for the first time the weekend after Paddy's day and the great band Watchfire was playing great Irish tunes. Cranberries, Galway Girl, Rattlin' Bog etc. Lots of fun favorites and high energy. Good crowd but the bartenders served you quickly and were pleasant even as it got busier. I'll definitely return!“

“I had a great 4-star experience at The Wicked Monk! The atmosphere was a highlight, earning a solid 4-star rating for its unique vibe. Both the food and service were also good, each earning a 3-star rating. It is a wonderful local spot that I definitely recommend for a nice visit!“

“Great place to watch sports and excellent bar wings and burgers“

“Had a wonderful pre-theater dinner here last night. The restaurant has a very cool, comfortable vibe. Our waiter Liam provided exceptional, attentive service. And the food - can't say enough about the shepherds pie. Savory and satisfying, especially on one of the first brisk fall days in the city. We will be back and you should try it too!“

“The Food. The surroundings.“

“We came all the way from Minnesota and ended up at The Shannon Pot, and we couldn’t be happier that we did. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome—friendly, warm, and happy to have us there.

A special shoutout to the bartender, Asad, who truly went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. His service was outstanding and made the night even better.

Great atmosphere, great people, and an unforgettable stop on our New York trip. We can’t recommend this place enough and would absolutely come back again!“

“Great food, great atmosphere, great service, love it.“

“Thanks to Kieran really friendly barman appreciated his help in getting us back to our hotel the quickest and cheapest way.“

“Just want to show my appreciation for the delicious food and warm atmosphere! We ate in person and were very impressed. Then we ordered takeout and it was still just as high quality. We love the chicken pot pie, mixed green frisée salad, mashed potatoes, French onion soup and the Guinness chocolate cake. Keep up the great work!“

“What a GREAT BAR! Has a definite “Cheers” feel. Just what any true New Yorker needs, or anyone for that matter! Love this place. Will be back and do recommend. AND EVERYONE HAD A GUINNESS. Now you know that’s a great sign. Proper Guinness house! :)“

“Best place in NYC: • Fast and friendly bartenders • Manager who really takes care of you • Cool but vigilant doorman“

“I love the atmosphere at Parnell’s. It is warm and inviting. The menu is extensive and the service is fabulous!“

“We are never disappointed when we stop here when we visit NYC. Atmosphere and food is always fantastic and they make killer Manhattans. We just went for the 2023 Rockefeller tree and the staff was pleasant and accommodating. so happy they were decorated for the holidays. 100% go to in our opinion.“

“What a Great Bar. Every time I go there I have an awesome time. The place is always clean, great music and the staff is friendly. The Best Irish Bar in N.J.🍀🍀🍀“

“Best pub in the big city!“

“The meal justified all the positive comments I'd heard. Love this place. The dishes are delicious, prices are sensible and service is great. The person in charge here is friendly and reliable. Rosie Dunn's Victorian Pub shows steady performance.“

“Nice atmosphere and the lady behind the bar was super friendly! Beer was great too, think we'll be back again before we leave 10/10“

“Michael and the entire staff is always a pleasure to work with. Bartenders are on point making everyone has a cocktail quickly. Love the hospitality. LGR!!! 👊💥🏴‍☠️“

“My favorite local spot! They don't make them like this anymore! The bartenders are attentive and friendly, the drinks are cheap, and they have a pool table and dart board. Love that I can play whatever music I want with the internet jukebox.
The atmosphere is quintessentially Irish – cozy, unpretentious, and full of character. It’s the kind of place where you can relax and enjoy good company. Whether you’re there for a quick drink or a long night, we always have a great time.
Support small business and give them a try!“

“I consider myself a regular at the pub and can say, they have been fixing the place up and it’s looking great. The people who go are pretty awesome and parking is good. Food is mostly quick bites(finger food) and even that will surprise you. On many occasions they even give out free food and I think they even rent out for parties like birthdays , etc. they have 2 decent pool tables and plenty of dart boards (I think you must bring your own darts) also all the bartenders are super friendly and helpful with anything you may need? Beer prices are a-bit pricey but other than that the place is cozy and on weekends the crowd is just right?“

“Great staff, Great service, Great prices, always friendly and the security is always on point to make sure you are safe and comfortable.“

“A great gem we didn’t even know about . Owner / bartender was the best and so kind and helpful . We were dying for heat and he cranked on the AC . Felt great within minutes. Very accommodating and the fried Zucchini and Wings 🥵 were delicious. Also the Guinness was on point 🍀❤️🙌🏽“

“Great place to go for a night out! The food is delicious! The atmosphere is fun and welcoming! The bands are great! The owners are great people! Would definitely recommend to anyone! We will be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Well, how do you do, Private William McBride,
Do you mind if I sit down here by your graveside?
And rest for awhile in the warm summer sun,
I've been walking all day, and I'm nearly done.
And I see by your gravestone you were only 19
When you joined the glorious fallen in 1916,
Well, I hope you died quick and I hope you died clean
Or, Willie McBride, was it slow and obscene?
Did they Beat the drum slowly, did the play the pipes lowly?
Did the rifles fir o'er you as they lowered you down?
Did the bugles sound The Last Post in?
Did the pipes play the Flowers of the Forest?“
