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“

“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.“

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

“Good pub ambiance…..neighborhood crowd….good food and drinks.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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..:“

“An Irish Gem in NYC. Fantastic atmosphere, Welcoming and authentic. Rambled in and stayed on. Highly recommended. Great selection of Irish beers. Fantastic staff and will be back again soon.“

“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! :)“

“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.“

“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.“

“As a frequent patron of The Joyce, I have hosted numerous events at this bar over the years. The staff consistently provides exceptional service, and the culinary offerings are outstanding. I have sampled a wide variety of menu items and highly recommend the steak, although many other dishes are equally impressive.“

“Good service, friendly staff, excellent Guinness and tasty grub. Not to mention a great soundtrack“

“A great local bar, extremely dog friendly. (You don’t need a service dog papers to come in ) There’s a lot of locals here and the bartenders are amazing. They don’t serve food, but you can definitely bring in food. If anyone has ever had a problem with this bar, FYI, it’s you.“

“Best place for Sports and the Comfy Comedy Show. Glenn is great. Fish (the bartender) is great, too. Can't go wrong by stopping in at the Hairy Lemon.“

“Upgrade on the usual Irish pub with good food and a fun bartender in Sam who served drinks with casual wit and knowing inteligence. I hope to come back.“

“My son and I ate a warm meal on a cold winters day here and had a great experience. The prime rib was delicious.“

“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“

“It’s a good place to eat and drink.“

“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❤️“

“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!“

“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.“
