“We had the best pre cruise visit since we were staying nearby at a hotel. Both bartenders were excellent and the regular customers! Made us “southerners” feel comfy and offered up ideas and suggestions of navigating the concrete jungle! If we ever return to NY, we will definitely be back. Awesome food! Awesome service! Excellent drinks. Made our trip!!“

“The place is amazing. The only problem called Eni. All other girls are amazing. Avoid her by any means because she is horrible to her coworkers. Many great people (bartenders left) left because she was mean to them. The place is great for local late night drinks as long as Eni is not working.“

“Not sure where some of the other reviews about the bartenders come from. We were here from Vermont, and this was far and away the best place we visited in the city. Drinks were good, bartender made a point to get peoples names and talk to them like friends. John was awesome. The shepherds pie was also on point!“

“One of my favorite places in the city, I've probably gone over 50 times this past year and it's become sort of a "third place." Unpretentious atmosphere, friendly staff, great drinks, hearty food, live sports, weekly trivia night, everything you could ask for, really.“

“Amazing Shepard’s pie & the spice bag was unreal !! Top class 👍🏻“

“We’re not from NYC, but whenever we are in town we visit the Milton. Amazing food, great atmosphere, and they truly make you feel at home. I wish this place was in my hometown so I could be one of the regulars. I will 100% come back any time I’m in the city.“

“I first discovered Finnegans Wake in 1990 and it was and still is my favorite NY place. Those were the days, my friend. We thought they’d never end but I haven’t been back to NYC since 2013. I heard Ignatius passed and May he RIP and Frank, the best bartender must have retired. If not, please give him a shout out from his “California Girls , Maria and Kelly.“

“The best place in the neighborhood“

“I got chocolate chips pancake and turkey egg cheese with home fries. Sandwich was good, they added tomato sauce with mayo, so it all blend in together. The pancake was little disappointing as I had to eat it dry because didn’t provide any syrup. But it was soft and fresh. Would order here again.“

“Me and my friend went to this Bar and didn't expect the food to taste so good but we were astounded at the flavor or the food and the preparation of the food.The food was so good that we ordered some to go. What we had was the Meatball with mushroom gravy and also had mozzarella Sticks and marinara sauce.“

“Nice to be at an Irish Pub on St Patrick’s day!“

“Outstanding service and tremendous food 👍“

“Very very good food! Our first time here after having heard about it for forever. Good wings, but my partner's shepherd's pie (although made with beef) was the winner, perfectly spiced and delicious. My Jameson chicken was very good as well. Enormous portions and we each brought a large amount home. Best soda bread I've had outside Ireland.

Very friendly attentive service. It was a little hard to hear due to all the hard reflective surfaces and music playing and cheerful people talking, but this was a great place. We'll be back, and are especially interested in the Sunday roast.

Update: back for shepherd's pie and a salad - splitting everything bc the portions were huge. Great food and friendly service.“

“The bartender Pam!!! She makes me want to come back… the people are soo welcoming and the men! Pure GENTLEMEN!! Will def be coming back PAM IS A DOLL AND WILL LOOK OUT FOR THE LADIES!! Thank you Pam she was soo comforting I for one will be back!!!“

“Being in a train station (and a very busy train station) one would not expect a great bar experience - well atleast I wasn’t but I was wrong. A colleague and I were in NYC for a board meeting, and it wrapped up early. She said let’s stop at Irish Exit for a drink and well we did. Once you walk out the “station”, it’s like walking into a true Irish bar (albeit busier). Amazing selection of beer, wine and the hard stuff. Good service, free Wi-Fi and most things can be done via QR code. Will definitely visit next time I’m at Penn.“

“Shepherd's pie is terrific. As is mostly everything on the menu“

“This place is our go-to spot for winding down after work! Cozy, old-school, and full of friendly vibes. Nothing beats their French onion soup—it’s hands-down the best in town—and pairing it with a cold classic beer melts away the stress from the workday grind.

Besides their amazing onion soup, I’m all about the shepherd’s pie, and my husband is obsessed with their chicken wings.“

“I was in the city this weekend for a conference and happened to drop into Playwright Irish Pub on 35th street on Friday night. Conor and the Playwright team were all outstanding hosts. Friendly, attentive, and accommodating. Had such a great time I returned again Saturday night. Thank you for being such great hosts and making a guy from out west feel at home in the city. Cheers!“

“Great group good food and great drinks.“

“Scallywags NYC thank you for the most amazing experience, great beer 🍺 great company, amazing bar staff (Katherine 😀) and we had the pleasure of meeting the owners who were very welcoming and even bought us a drink 🍺🗽🍀 💯 recommended 😀“

“If you're a football (soccer) fan looking for the best pub in the area, this is the place to be! Whether it's the Champions League, World Cup, Euro Cup, or Premier League, this pub has you covered. The atmosphere is electric, perfect for meeting fellow die-hard football fans. Big games are featured with commentary, enhancing the experience.

In addition to the fantastic football ambiance, the pub offers a solid selection of draft beers and classic bar food, including burgers and nachos. For any football enthusiast, this spot is unbeatable!“

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

“Great place with a friendly vibe“

“I came here for the first time recently because of an event that I attended. This place is truly exceptional with its hospitality and service as the staff was fantastic.

This restaurant is a well-known institution in Queens and has been in business since 1933, and I could see why they have been around for so long.

I really didn't get a chance to try anything from their food menu, but the drinks I ordered were really good, and the bartenders are super nice. This place has a great sportsbar vibe, and it is a great place for hosting events since this restaurant is quite large.

I noticed other reviewers complaining about the parking situation in this area, but since I came quite early, I didn't have any issues finding street parking near the restaurant.

Based on my first impression of this place, I will definitely stop by again in the near future to grab a bite and a few drinks.“

“Found this place doing an internet search and didn’t know what to expect. Friendly local bar and staff, wide range of comfort food on the menu, and Smithwicks on draft. A very pleasant experience!“

“Las hamburguesas Woodside exquisitas, bien servidas y con ganas de comerse dos... Muy buen servicio además... Ah, y para completar, cerveza...“

“Great experience!!! I been here a year or so and never forgot the great service I received before from Niall! Walked in today and there he was in a great mood even tho his football team didn't make the playoffs (Seahawks) like my squad the damn Giants! But great and convenient spot to check out. A pool table is available too; that's what got me before. Glad I stopped through and my Irish brother was there! I don't think they serve food here but the atmosphere is great and chill.“

“Good friends with good bands!“
