14 Best Irish Pubs in Brooklyn

“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 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!“

“My family and I recently hosted a memorial luncheon for our mom at The Wicked Monk and it exceeded every expectation.
From the incredible food to the truly exceptional customer service, this team delivered.

I first met with Megan to discuss the details and immediately I felt supported and understood. She was sweet, helpful, and truly concerned with making sure we were all good — even though she wouldn’t be there on the day of the luncheon. She stayed in touch leading up to the event, checked in to ensure every question was answered, and made sure we were in great hands with Clara and Chris.

Clara followed up with us right before the luncheon to make sure every detail was set. She truly knew the assignment — making sure all of our photos were displayed on the screens because she understood how important it was for us. Her attention and calm professionalism brought reassurance so we could focus on our guests.

Chris — our bartender, go-to guy, and (as I later learned) the owner of this wonderful place — was the very definition of hospitality. From our very first phone call to the last moments of the luncheon, his “whatever you need” attitude was unwavering. He anticipated every need and ensured everything ran flawlessly, all while being friendly, engaging, and perfectly attuned to the tone of the day.

And let’s not forget the food — absolutely fantastic! We’re a very picky Italian-Irish family, and the buffet was wonderful. Everyone kept talking about how much they enjoyed it, and we all agreed that my mom would have loved the meal and the warmth of the place.

What could have been a difficult day was made warm, welcoming, and full of heart because of this incredible team. If you’re looking for a venue that delivers both amazing food and truly above and beyond service, The Wicked Monk is it.

It’s also a wonderful spot for birthdays, showers, retirements, or any special celebration.“

“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!“

“Warm staff and good food. Happy hour oysters are really good. Ive been coming here since it opened and it keeps getting better in every category. Service, food and drink. The care the bartender puts into service with anyone at the bar is really top notch. The menu has also become better each month and keeping me coming back.“

“Good neighborhood bar with good service and free food at times. Best deal in town.“

“Great, downhome local bar with friendly bartenders and friendly customers. They have great live music on Fridays @ 9 pm. Come on down this Friday 7/21 and see my band, “The Dirt Weeds”. No cover and enough room for dancing!“

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

“Food was great, service was amazing! Gerry was our bartender/server - no wait for anything, was on top of it like a boss! 10/10 recommend!“

“Stumbled upon Paddy’s by total chance yesterday and loved every minute of it. There’s something really special about this place! Will 100% be coming back on our next visit. 😃“

“It’s a great place and friendly atmosphere!“

“Everything here@SOCCER TAVERN“

“The perfect pint! Live music. The true Irish pub“

“There are few feelings as getting out of the streets on a scorching summer's day in Brooklyn and walking into a cavernous, cool bar. It's too clean to be a dive, but low-key enough to be comforting. Simply my favorite place to grab a beer in BK.“
