“Excelente lugar y Gracias por sus chelas todo. Salió muy divertido y me divierto ahi bachatiando.“

“A New York classic experience! From their cooked to perfection Prime Sirloin Salad to the Dark Chocolate Mousse. Keens delivers great flavors in a cozy and historical setting. A must try!“

“first trip to NYC. Stayed close by and just happened to walk in to what may be one of the best nights ever! The bar tenders were so nice! I felt like Id known them my entire life. We made new friends at the bar and spent the night singing and laughing. SO. MUCH. FUN“

“I absolutely loved this place! As a Geordie, I thought this would be a good place to watch the qarabag match and I was shocked at how amazing it is! The atmosphere, the decoration. Just everything was incredible! I would totally recommend to visit if you are a football fan especially a Newcastle United fan.“

“Good food and good beer! staff is very attentive and friendly!“

“My fav spot in the area - good beer selections as well as cocktails so it pleases everyone in the crew. The bartenders are also so fun and such a pleasure to be around - Melissa is usually working when we’re there and is the sweetest (Makes an excellent negroni too)!“

“Greatest Place on Earth :)“

“Great food, service and outdoor space! Highly recommend!“

“My husband & I met there 46 1/2 years ago. Got engaged there the next New Year’s Eve & we’ve been married 45 years. We always visit when we come up to Jersey. I’m here alone this time but I’m going to stop in.“

“Thank you to Kiara, Tommy, and staff. Tommy's sponsored/catered the food at our Tricky Tray this past weekend as well as last year! RAVE REVIEWS!!! Everyone LOVED the food! Everything was delish, fresh, and hot! We can't thank you enough!!!!“

“Amazing food. Huge Portions. Excellent service. My only complaint is that I live 4 hours away. 😭“

“Always a great time with Tabby, Ngozi, Nat and my karaoke crew!“

“Im here on Fridays as much as possible.....Mugs Pub is where its @ TamRock is the best“

“TL;DR: Mulligan’s is a top-tier soccer bar with professional staff, solid bar food, a pool table, and a strong selection of local and imported beers on tap.

Mulligan’s Pub is widely considered the premier destination in New Jersey for watching soccer. The establishment consistently opens early for Premier League kickoffs and maintains a dedicated environment for fans of various international leagues. The atmosphere is consistently high-energy without being overbearing, making it a reliable spot for both major tournaments and weekly league fixtures.

The service is efficient and the staff is professional, managing large match-day crowds with ease. Regarding the menu, the food is quality bar fare; the wings and burgers are dependable.

The layout includes a pool table in the back and dart boards, providing activity beyond the screens. Their draft list is well-balanced, featuring some local craft beers alongside standard European imports like Guinness. It is a straightforward, well-run Irish pub that prioritizes the viewing experience for supporters.“

“This place is outstanding. Great neighborhood atmosphere. Food is crazy good. For a game night the energy is palpable. As a Southerner that works for a NJ company, the 101 Pub represents everything great about the area - the local feel, the strong drinks, the vocal opinions about the sports teams. Not to be missed.“

“Great beer selection. Great staff. Good vibe. Good people. I am a native New Yorker and very picky about my bars and defensive of my neighborhood. This is the best bar I’ve been to in years. I only wish I’d discovered it sooner.“

“Family business, friendly people, great food!“

“O'Donnell's Pub has the best Guinness I've ever had. (And I have been to Ireland). Most places must use the wrong gases, or don't clean the beer lines and it taste almost grassy. Not a O'Donnell's. It is smooth and just fantastic.“

“Plenty of parking, good food, good vibes.“

“Had a great late lunch at DPS Tavern in Garfield, NJ with my husband and it did not disappoint! We ordered a few appetizers and everything was absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly done. The service was excellent, super attentive and friendly, which made the experience even better. The atmosphere is lovely and welcoming, and the people there were just great overall. We’ll definitely be going back!“

“Michelle is the best bartender Friendly atmosphere great wings Redd is great too!! Busy nite Michelle was awesome! Handled the crowd like the pro she is!!!“

“Chef Melissa Mak is amazing. We’ve been dining at The Front Porch regularly for the past 12 months and not only is the food creative and delicious (Asian fusion pub food, so YUMMY!), the staff is super friendly and the drinks are awesome. We’ve had almost everything on the menu and you won’t be disappointed.“

“great food, great staff not to be missed“

“Harmony our waitress was awesome, this place has the feel like you are in your home town.“

“Karol's Pub is a hidden gem. They sell Zywiec, which is great Polish beer, smooth and incredibly potent. The walls are covered with cartoon murals, there's a pool table in the back, a dart board, and an awesome digital jukebox. Karol himself is a great, easygoing funny guy. The bar has plenty of regulars, and DJs on Friday nights. They don't sell food, however they have menus from nearby pizza places available and you can order delivery to the pub.“

“The girls are really pretty, standard price for lap dances. The girls definitely make sure that you’re having a great time, they definitely take care of you in the best way. They don’t have that many women in that spot which is understandable considering how small the place is. So it’s best you sit somewhere comfortable where you’re not too far away from the action. But the only drawback is there isn’t much privacy in the lap dance room so you’re bunched up with other people in there plus the dancers and it does get mighty uncomfortable. They are definitely respectful towards you and treat you like human beings instead of an ATM which is rare nowadays plus they don’t pressure you to drink coming from someone who’s a non drinker.“

“sometimes really fun good time...however if Nicole doesn't like you or is having a bad day stay clear!, but it's part of her charm I guess. eh try it out it's a absolute dive bar environment, the surrounding neighborhood has alot going on too, so u can make a day out of it. ✌️“

“First time here tonight and will definitely be back! Great food great service!“

“I’ve been coming to donnybrook on and off for years and the bar never fails to meet expectations. Whether you wanna do some work on your laptop on a chill tuesday afternoon or watch a game on a busy thursday or dance in a packed room on friday or saturday, Donny has the best prices and bartenders in the LES. They are always fast and quick to help. Totally recommend especially for happy hour. One of the best deals in the LES.“

“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“

“We dropped in for a drink and a quick snack before seeing ASSSSCATS at The Upright Citizens Brigade Theater across the street! It was a cute busy Friday and the place was happening! Beautiful people everywhere! The wings were fantastic! My husband had a non-alcoholic drink and I had a fancy cocktail! Definitely a cute spot for the winter but it looks like a grand spot for the warmer months with their outdoor seating! Highly recommend!“

“The sexiest dove bar. Found this place thru the comedy circuit and have been coming for years now. Absolutely love love love the food. Them Carolina gold wings are wildly addictive. The staff is super dope (awesome). The banter is bar none. Great place Great atmosphere. Go enjoy yourself, Shae said so.“

“Awesome atmosphere and a great draft selection! The appetizers we got were excellent as well! The staff was friendly and had great energy 🩵 would go back in a heartbeat. The only bummer was they didn’t have smaller than 2XL shirts on hand at the time of our visit…I wanted one so bad 😂 Needless to say the shirts are great too! 100/10 recommend 🍻“

“The band, The Gyst were fantastic. They are a professional band, sound great, and I drove 3 hours to hear them play. The place and people loved them, I would suggest having them play at your establishment more often. The food was also phenomenal.“

“I wasn't going to share this place with anyone because I don't want it to get crowded but I have to bc I love it so much. Presenting my new watering hole in Bergen! The location is where the old 21 used to be, on the top floor of the Son Jjajang building. Great happy hour everyday 4-8!! It's a steal considering how good the food is. Happy hour all types of soju are $8.99 and beers are cheap too. All the big dishes on the happy hour menu are between $14-$18 and I think the portion sizes are the same! I have yet to try something that I don't love on the menu. Their: Cheese buldak (fire chicken w/ mozzarella cheese.. ask for medium spicy if you can't do heat!) Jogae sujebi (Korean version of.. gnocchi? in clam broth..I always order another side of sujebi) Donkatsu (breaded & fried pork cutlet) Tofu & kimchi Ddukbokki (spicy rice cakes... I usually ask for cheese on this also lol) Tong dak (whole fried chicken) Gaeran mari (Korean cheese omlette w/ fried garlic on top) Budae jjigae (Korean army soup, goes great with soju!) and weirdly enough their giant plate of FRIES (idk what they do to those fries they're just fries but they're so good lol) are among some of my favorites. However, the food tends to be on the spicier side which isn't an issue for me, but if you can't handle too much spice be sure to tell your waiter. I can't say enough about how good the food is. The chef apparently refuses to use anything but the best ingredients and it shows in the taste of the food. Portions are big too! Obviously I eat here a lot... lol Oh and the servers and manager are all so nice!! One time we had a big party of 10 but they didn't have space so they put us in their only karaoke room in the back. We wanted to watch the US Open but we couldn't figure out the TV in the room so the manager found an HDMI cable and hooked his own cellphone up to it so we could watch. How sweet?!! At the moment they only serve soju and beer but I have been told that they will start offering liquor soon :) Like I said, I don't want this place to get crowded but they deserve the business with food and service like this. I hope they stick around and become a new staple in Pal Park! PS. The menu is entirely in Korean so bring a friend who is fluent or ask the waiters for suggestions! I will definitely have to mention to them that they should make an English version of their menu. Will be back with pictures later!“

“Highly recommend this place, we stumbled in by accident and ended up staying all night to watch the basketball playoffs. Great service by the bar staff and fantastic food and drinks. We had the steak sandwich and fries and it was 10/10. Got speaking to the owner, John, who couldn’t do enough for us. We enjoyed it that much we returned a second evening during our trip. Don’t miss out if you are in the neighbourhood“

“First time there and it was a fun time!“

“Had à great brunch at PJ and so appreciate our fabulous server Fabiola! She was GREAT!!!!“

“Jasper’s Tap House and Kitchen was a great find. The smash burger was excellent—perfectly cooked with great flavor—and the fries were crispy and delicious. We also tried the pretzel bread, which was a nice addition and very good. Overall a really enjoyable meal in a relaxed setting. Definitely a spot worth stopping into if you’re nearby. 🍔🍟“

“Claire was great, Very welcoming and personable. 💯 recommend“

“The best naberhood bar that I've been to in many years“

“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.“

“Natalie the bartender! Nuff said.“

“Good service, good live music.“

“Wow what can I say! Jordan my beautiful friend from Oklahoma was just a dream. Not only did he have the personality of a king but the face of an ultimate princess. I’ve had my reservations about Whitehorse tavern with those finance boys but Jordan just made the entire night an ultimate dream gateway! Jordan deserves nothing but the best! I shall be back (as long as Jordan is working)“

“Amazing experience here, server Megan was fantastic and very friendly, good and drinks 10/10! Thank you ☺️“

“Oh gosh how I miss old Standings on Seventh Street. Fun times--even if your team (hello Mets, Jets) loses. Owner Gary, champion of those 2 messy franchises, grins through it all. Seek him out for the latest news and accumulated wisdom of 20-years in biz in Manhattan.

So diverse and wide is 7th Street (has the distance between 2nd and 3rd Ave been measured? And is it less than a mile? really? hmmm) that unbeknownst to most passersby and patrons of Tourist Central McSorleys (near 3rd) there is a special pub just down the way (near 2nd). Teeming with paraphernalia (much hangs from the rafters), it can be said that those banners and the like are unnecessary, for the true spirit is captured in the Hey Heys and Oh Nos and the ringing of the bell. A set of clean, pedantic regulars keeps things humming even on a slow Tuesday.

Standings does not serve liquor but it does faithfully serve sports. Any man, woman of age can enter (I've witnessed many times); state the game they wish to watch; and the staff will attempt to accommodate via one of the array of TV sets. But if a cable etc deal makes it a no-go, these visitors will be informed of alternative games or possible vendor. A landline remains at the ready to field these queries also.

It's always neat to see not only Your game, but the gathering of partisans of a distant school or pro team. Charlotte fans? Yes. New York has it all, and it's better to have Standings.

So, go to there, to take a break from The Arts, and take in a game. You can even order in food.

ProTips: a) ignore the insufferable collegians seeking and touting the Most Hoppy. Hang near the good barmen--Bud Light and the occasional Underberg is the way to pass the time. b) against the northeast wall is a couple of genuine Shea Stadium seats. Give it a whirl..

Shout out to Harry, funniest bouncer in the city.“

“Best Corned Beef Sandwich in the State and and awesome burgers as well!“

“Oh my gosh! What a gem!!!! Landed in NYC and spotted Walkers and just had to go in. A fabulous bartender, Eugene shared a bunch of his favorite restaurants. And of course, his famous Presidents’ Day costume. The burger was great but the guests and the staff - out of this world!!! We will be back!!!“

“One of my all time favorite bars. It feels more home than home. the staff is top notch, cocktails are always top tier, prices are very reasonable, atmosphere is relaxed, and customers are diverse, interesting, and generally friendly. On the very rare occasions I have seen customers act inappropriately, the staff intervened quickly and appropriately. The staff does a great job ensuring that this bar is always a place where anyone can feel welcome and safe. If I had to pick only one bar to drink at for the rest of my life, Deacon's would be it hands down.“
