McDermott’s Pub – Home of the Best Chicken Wings in the Bronx
Tucked away in the heart of the Bronx, McDermott’s Pub is one of those rare neighborhood gems that locals swear by and visitors never forget. It’s the kind of place where the bartenders remember your name, the Guinness flows like water, and—most importantly—the wings are the stuff of legend.
Let’s not beat around the bush: McDermott’s has the best wings in the Bronx. Period. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and tossed in a house-made sauce that hits the perfect balance between spicy, tangy, and addictive. Whether you go for the classic buffalo, the sweet heat, or the mouthwatering garlic parmesan, these wings are worth every finger-licking bite. And no, you won’t want to share.
But it’s not just about the wings. McDermott’s serves up a warm, no-frills Irish pub atmosphere that feels authentic, not forced. With dark wood finishes, sports on the TVs, and a soundtrack of laughter and clinking glasses, it’s the perfect spot to catch a game, hang with friends, or make new ones at the bar. The staff is as friendly as they come—quick with a pour and a recommendation.
Don’t sleep on the rest of the menu either—hearty burgers, perfectly poured pints, and comfort food done right. But let’s be real: once you’ve had the wings, you’ll be back for them again… and again.
If you’re in the Bronx and you haven’t hit up McDermott’s yet, do yourself a favor—go. Come for the drinks, stay for the wings, and leave wondering how soon you can get back.1

AMAZING wings! And the the waitress deserves a raise for her multitasking skills,and friendly demeanor. Atmosphere bit too dark for my taste...Jesus quotes via framed wall art, would make the place less 'gloomy', and it'd be super successful. Lol (It truley would doe.) God
OK food. Wings and everything else on the menu is hit or miss. Owner increased prices and told his staff not to let customers know. Won't be going back and neither will my coworkers and friends.
