50 Best Irish Pubs in New York

“Always promised myself on my next trip to NYC I would go to The Dead Rabbit. I am so pleased I got to do it. The staff the cocktails the food and the decor & cleanliness were A1. 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 👏“

“Excellent food great service! Owner hands on“

“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“

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

“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 spot to drink a double Glenmorangie on the rocks after coming from an event at Madison Square Garden, whether it be Basketball, the circus or Wrestling......there can be only one and let it be, Peter McManus Cafe!“

“Top notch service/experience“

“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❤️“

“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.“

“An early New Year’s Eve stop for pints and prosecco turned into a perfect afternoon. Lively energy, an excellent bartender, and books lining the walls made it easy to see why the place filled up so quickly. Even better-you’re welcome to bring your own food.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The vibe is divey yet lively with a pool table, darts, sports on TV and no cover charge, making it great for groups or solo visits near Midtown East. Hours stretch late (11 AM to 2-4 AM depending on the day), so it's ideal for after‑work drinks or late‑night tunes.“

“I stayed in NY for an 8 day business trip. I met Luis on my first visit to Scallywags. The next visit was Mike (the owner)and Ro. Then, Cathy. It became my go to place for meals, drinks and live music. I would definitely recommend!“

“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.“

“Mazum is the best! I love this place! Every time I visit the city I always come here. Mazum treats me like family! Great quality food and amazing drinks. Service with a smile and always great.“

“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..:“

“Great food, great Guinness, great vibes! Wolfe Tone's was absolutely FABULOUS on Marathon Sunday! Derek was such a pleasure to work with in the weeks before our big day and he and the entire staff took such great care of us and our family and friends post-race! They truly went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable, well-fed, and never without a drink! The location is also great, it was easy for everyone to get to and for everyone to go home from (so close to Grand Central and the 6 train!) One of the best pints of Guinness I've had outside of Ireland, such a cozy atmosphere and incredible staff members. Classic Irish pub food, which everybody loved! The classics are classics for a reason, and they were very well done. I’ve also had dinner here on a regular night, and it’s just as good! Great pub fare, generous portions, and a really relaxed, friendly vibe. It’s not just a perfect event spot, it’s a great place for an everyday meal too. I am so grateful to Wolfe Tone's for being a great, reasonably priced, delicious, comfy and cozy place to celebrate post-race. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to host any kind of event. We had a great time, great food and great memories. Thank you so much Wolfe Tone's!“

“Great place to watch sports and excellent bar wings and burgers“

“Great food, great atmosphere, great service, love it.“

“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.“

“What a GREAT BAR! Has a definite “Cheers” feel. Just what any true New Yorker needs, or anyone for that matter! Love this place. Will be back and do recommend. AND EVERYONE HAD A GUINNESS. Now you know that’s a great sign. Proper Guinness house! :)“

“Thanks to Kieran really friendly barman appreciated his help in getting us back to our hotel the quickest and cheapest way.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Best pub in the big city!“

“The Food. The surroundings.“

“Great staff, Great service, Great prices, always friendly and the security is always on point to make sure you are safe and comfortable.“

“The meal justified all the positive comments I'd heard. Love this place. The dishes are delicious, prices are sensible and service is great. The person in charge here is friendly and reliable. Rosie Dunn's Victorian Pub shows steady performance.“

“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“

“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.“

“We are never disappointed when we stop here when we visit NYC. Atmosphere and food is always fantastic and they make killer Manhattans. We just went for the 2023 Rockefeller tree and the staff was pleasant and accommodating. so happy they were decorated for the holidays. 100% go to in our opinion.“

“Love this place! Very much a local Irish joint. Nice loud music and great service with a smile. Reasonably priced, young, fun-loving crowd. Visit if you're in the area. Open till the early hours of the morning at the weekends from what i understand.“

“I love the atmosphere at Parnell’s. It is warm and inviting. The menu is extensive and the service is fabulous!“

“Let's go people ! it's been open for months now, time to come home to a good pint of Guinness or Narangansett and some Pork Tenderloin with mash. G&T with bangers and mash... Just come and see Moira !“

“Was so glad we stumbled on this place during our short visit. Wonderful owner and staff. Great food, service, atmosphere. Extremely kind and accommodating, even without having a reservation, during their busy time.“

“A great gem we didn’t even know about . Owner / bartender was the best and so kind and helpful . We were dying for heat and he cranked on the AC . Felt great within minutes. Very accommodating and the fried Zucchini and Wings 🥵 were delicious. Also the Guinness was on point 🍀❤️🙌🏽“

“Stopped in for a cold libation after a sweltering subway ride from Yankee stadium. Nice little place. We were able to get a table right away on a Saturday. There seemed to be some locals. The beer selection was average but the service was friendly. Decent place.“

“Great spot for a a quick meal or just having drinks with friends. Great Staff“

“Fun hipster spot in the East Village. Saturday evening the place was busy but service was good. Had their Adobo rubbed wings and really good. The fish and chips were awesome and the best I've had ever anywhere. I'd go again in a jiffy.“

“10am open for 6 nations rugby on a Sunday. Sean and his team so very welcoming. Best thing Guinness is excellent and the pink gin fizz is a great cocktail. Didn't eat as had breakfast beforr we came but portions and food quality looked excellent from what we saw. Atmosphere is amazing. Would definitely recommend for an Irish bar away from home.“

“Great place, service was great and drinks were amazing. Jack and the rest of the crew were so friendly! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Amazing service and so much history from the day and days following 9-11. I highly recommend everyone come here once in their lives.“
