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“

“Travelled to NYC from London just after new year with my wife and son and researched before we came where to catch the game and this place was everywhere when I looked up places to watch Arsenal, I had to come and experience it and was not disappointed! extremely welcomed by the locals and regulars, beautiful atmosphere and very friendly topped off by the excellent bar staff and of course the legendary Christiano. I could tell just from 1 visit O'Hanlons is a very community orientated bar who do so much for the people around them“

“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.“

“Top notch service/experience“

“Popped in this Irish bar after a recommendation by Prince who does the Go Hybrid NYC pedicab tours. It was a freezing cold day and was nice to enter a warm pub with friendly staff that knows how to run a good Irish pub! I had a few local beers and some loaded potato skins that were very nice!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Catherine is awesome… 🤩 Thank you Michael & Catherine for your hospitality. Home from home!! Great pub for food & the craic..“

“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.“

“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❤️“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 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!“

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

“The Food. The surroundings.“

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

“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! :)“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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 🍀❤️🙌🏽“

“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.“

“This is our 2nd time in here. Came in yesterday just for drinks, best drink we’ve had so far, so tried food today. Wow. Beautiful. Shepherds pie was gorgeous and hot not cold like you get in a lot of places. Sharing platter lovey too and the nachos 5* rating, if we have time before flying home to uk tomorrow we are coming back. 🙂😍“

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

“Always a great time in Gabbys“

“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.“

“Nice Pub, like it. Next time I’ll be back“

“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.“

“I’ve been coming to donnybrook on and off for years and the bar never fails to meet expectations. Whether you wanna do some work on your laptop on a chill tuesday afternoon or watch a game on a busy thursday or dance in a packed room on friday or saturday, Donny has the best prices and bartenders in the LES. They are always fast and quick to help. Totally recommend especially for happy hour. One of the best deals in the LES.“

“Lovely, lovely landlord a pleasure to chat too and fantastic staff just wish we could have had time to return. If you’re looking for great food and drink this is a must visit. When we were there a couple from Ireland came in after just getting married. Hope you’re able to get over for some more games next season.“

“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.“

“Absolutely fantastic! The food, the drinks the service! From start to finish, A+++ If you’re lucky enough to have Finn as your bartender you’re in for a treat! Fantastic service“

“Nice bar, went for a drink as I'm a Newcastle united fan and was told it's the official Newcastle bar in new York, photos and pictures of memorabilia around the pub, just a shame I didn't catch a match while in NYC, a must for all Newcastle united fans.“

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

“The 6 for $30 is great friendly staff and clean pub definitely be back“
