“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.“

Service at the bar is immediate. Pub style seating also available. Open until 4am. Don’t tell anyone how great this place is or it’s likely to attract the influencers. For now, this place is absolutely perfect.“

“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.“

“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.“

“High expectations, but not impressed with this visit. Wednesday early dinner , 7/23/25, 5pm.
No issue with availability and service, very attentive.
Chicken dish with sauce ok, but asparagus flimsy and green bean sized while mashed potatoes served ice cream scoop and lacking in flavor.
Long awaited favorite of mine, fish and chips.
Fish better than most in area, still lacking in wow factor while the (chips) were a flimsy mess , no crisp or seasoning.
As to beer, Stella was fine but Blue Moon dark and flat.
Better luck next time.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“My husband & I were visiting NYC for a long weekend when a friend back home recommended we go to Kelly’s Sports bar. We live in Buffalo NY, so when I found out this bar was a bills backer bar, of course we were there Sunday, ready to cheer on our favorite team. Let me just tell you, this bar alone is enough reason to come back to the city. We had an absolute blast! & the drinks were good, never had an empty drink in hand, the bartenders are great, & it really felt like home. Thanks for the laughs & great drinks! GO BILLS!!!“

“I came down for the first time last month to watch the Celtic match starting at 7 am, I didn't know what to expect but the food was great, the staff were all very welcoming and friendly, and the atmosphere was great even in the early morning. I was so impressed I stayed after to watch the EPL matches they were showing even though I'm not a big EPL fan. I will definitely be coming back, and it's a must-visit for any Celtic supporter in the New York area.“

“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!“
