Loved the welcome my friend and I got, (even when we were a bit late for our booking) throughout the service from the fabulous servers. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Bloody brilliant 👏“

“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 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“

“Ordered the scones off idea HONY in 2021…waited almost year for the scones to arrive in Texas…forgotten about the scones-was happy to gift the $$$ to help in their life journey. Absolutely delicious!! Now it is 2024 & scones have been reordered! Best $$ ever spent❤️“

“Top notch service/experience“

“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.“

“Great food, friendly staff and efficient service, highly recommended“

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

“Personal a big fan of any literary bars, even if they don't have any books. This place is definitely a charming Irish pub, with both bar and table service. Will say that if you are ready for your drink and at a table its easier to order if at the bar and they'll bring it over. Love all the clever names they have for drinks / cocktails and fairly priced for NYC. I found the 500 Guinness wall cute. Also, always a big fan when they have the digital jukeboxes to play the tunes you want to hear. I got the cider they have on tap and the signature drink. Both very good and now I also have a new glass bottle.“

“Not a bad place to people watch and grab a drink or lunch. It’s pretty cheap by NY standards and has a good atmosphere. I have the cheeseburger sliders and she asked if I wanted to add fries, I said yes, but it added $5 for the fries and there was like a $2 portion of them on the side. The sliders were good though. It’s also not a fast lunch stop.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Great local Irish bar. I was staying a week at a nearby hotel and this place had the exact Irish bar feel I needed. I instantly felt like a regular they were glad to see, coming and going. Proper for an Irish place. Good pours on the beers. I was here for the first 2016 Presidential Debates and there was a lot of opinions, but in true NYC style, nobody got bent, no matter how much of a (&%$g idiot the other person was.“

“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.“

“This is an absolute gem of a place. Great venue for watching sport, especially Arsenal. Staff are absolutely amazing, so friendly and efficient. Highly recommend visiting here.“

“Took a min to get a drink but that's because the place was packed but a bartender walked past me but didn't stop at me and went to someone else. I had to wait for another bartender but once I got a drink, it was a good drink. The atmosphere is very lively and active. Good conversation with people and live music. Definitely going back soon!“

“Cool bar, it's only been open since 2017 , but before that it was a pub from the 50s , and before that it was a Corner Cafe started in 30s . Has a cool vibe, and a book section in the corner where you can sit and chill. . Has a cool vibe, and a book section in the corner where you can sit and chill no food menu, you can bring your own pie and enjoy a beer!“

“Great place for a quick bite after climbing.

It's your usual bar food, quite big portions. Free popcorn, and sometimes sour gummy.

Had the chicken cutlet burger. Slightly overcooked but still juicy and delicious.

The bartender is super friendly and helpful.“

“I was looking for a new karaoke bar to attend. I found out Shillelagh Tavern is an active venue for shows, open mic jamm sessions and karaoke. I went there on a Saturday night on karaoke night. It's starts a bit late. At 11:30 pm you can start picking your songs. I like the crowd. There were a lot of good singers. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. The bar itself is also
great. They have a great selection of beers and well drinks. All the bartenders I dealt with were
professional and quick to attend to me. I recommend this lovely little off the beaten path watering hole. They don't sell food there, but they hold the menus for several take out places on the block. You can order from the menu and they will deliver it to you.“

“Best bartenders in town. Feels like home. Always a friendly welcome... the atmosphere is always positive and you always will have a smile. Plus great happy hour deals and music..:“

“Had the opened-faced hot beef sandwich with mashed potatoes, smothered in gravy. It was delicious. The beef was tastey and so tender, like my grandma used to make.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Always a fun time great service awesome staff excellent mix of people you get people from all walks of life there It doesn't matter whether you like rock music or rap music they go through both on the jukeboxe and everything in between the mix of people there truly remind me of growing up in Hudson county You get everyone from all walks of life from young to old truly an eclectic crowd“

“This victorian inspired restaurant was very pleasant to the eyes. It really looks like you’re stepping back in time. I hear they offer an afternoon tea. I would like to come back and try that someday but we were here for dinner and it was wonderful. We had the lobster ravioli, and the steak and frites. Everyone we came in contact with was attentive and pleasant. They also have a full bar so I imagine they have a great cocktail hour or so.“

“Great service and great hospitality- Dolores was super“

“Had a wonderful pre-theater dinner here last night. The restaurant has a very cool, comfortable vibe. Our waiter Liam provided exceptional, attentive service. And the food - can't say enough about the shepherds pie. Savory and satisfying, especially on one of the first brisk fall days in the city. We will be back and you should try it too!“

“The Food. The surroundings.“

“First time at Mulligans. Great atmosphere and enjoying the Guineas. YNWA“

“Nice atmosphere and the lady behind the bar was super friendly! Beer was great too, think we'll be back again before we leave 10/10“

“I enjoyed the entire experience from first bite to last. Everything meets a high bar. Restaurant staff provide excellent service while understanding their menu. The restaurant suits both casual meals and single diners. I want them to expand their customer base.“

“Came in to sit a while and enjoy a refreshment after walking all day. Found the most delightful pub that was being overseen by a charming and inviting bar keep. Perfect experience. If we are back on the East side... we'll be stopping for another round.“
