I have been drinking quite regularly, in the Ceili House on Grand Ave, in Queens New York, back in the early nineties, 90’s I lived in and around this neighbourhood, for four years, I love/loved living here, this was called Sweeneys at the time, the bar across the street was called Burkes, I cleaned that bar in the mornings, knew the owner Richie, ( since passed and got on very well with one of the female staff, Violet, believe she is still around, but haven’t met her yet, nor anyone else I once knew. Many Bars that I once frequent, no longer exist, or have changed ownership, (mind you it has been a least 12 years since I have been in any). The whole scenario has changed completely, maybe because of covid, maybe because of the cost of a beer/drink, maybe because young people don’t want to spend their days, having a few beers and a bit of fun, better things to. Many of these bars are now struggling to survive,
Six months or so ago, an Irish Barmaid was stabbed, by her boyfriend in the throat and died in front of many, she was just changing out shifts with another, Molly, I know it has effected Molly, because she spoke to me about it, How many customers were there and witnessed this event, I don’t know but it would affect them as well. Whether or not there has been a massive decline in the customers visiting this place because of this incident, it’s hard to call, maybe out of fear, respect for Sarah, (they do have a small shrine, in her honour.
I would like to see this place buzzing again as it once was in my day.
There is a Christmas party there this Friday 20th with Karaoke, so show your support, and come along, especially if you can sing.
I can’t seem to be able to post this on any Facebook site relating to New York/Queens,, so if you have any friends over there, let them know or share this post.

Loved the drink I ordered and everything about the place felt welcoming.
Shoutout to Molly for her hospitality. What a graceful sweetheart.
I definitely reccomend it as a go-to if you enjoy a mesmerizing yet relaxed atmosphere, 5 star drinks and being greeted with warmth and a smile. ;)

Very cool pub with a nice variety of beers. The patrons were kind and Rachel was especially engaging and welcoming. Very relaxing atmosphere; I enjoyed the outside area as well. I highly recommend all stop in, and I will definitely return when next in Maspeth.
