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 👏“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“Top notch service/experience“

“This place is amazing! It’s a centrally located Irish pub. EASY access to all the trains. Easily the best Guinness draft pour on most trips to the city. The coolest thing is you use the QR code to order from any of a half dozen different restaurants and the food is delivered to you in the large, open bar. Look for Elizabeth. She’s efficient, helpful, creative and friendly. Wonderful venue, right next to the escalators to trains running in every direction. Give them a try! (It was clean, comfortable and friendly.)“

“Food is okay, service is good, atmosphere is pleasant, though can get rather loud.
They have decent beer and cider on tap. Bathrooms are a bit cramped but useable. Menu has a decent number of choices on it and is reasonably priced for the area. Staff are helpful.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Poets are not dead. The Dead Poet strikes the perfect balance. It’s usually a cozy, relaxed spot where you can actually sit and have a conversation without yelling, but it’s also a great place to catch a game. Hands down the best Guinness pour in the neighborhood. Great vibe, perfect pints, and highly recommended! 🍻 ⚽“

“Leaving 5 stars because live music venues deserve it, my only complaint is the crowd, and that often the fun part of the venue with all the pool tables is closed for private events. Other than that, great spot for live music. Finance bro heaven“

“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!“

“Best pub in the big city!“

“I ordered scones from Mary O many times— they are always phenomenal, and even included the most lovely additions in the latest order when my note on ideal timing didn’t reach her in time. I can’t say enough good things about Mary’s skill and customer service! 💕“

“The Food. The surroundings.“

“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.“

“I absolutely loved this place! As a Geordie, I thought this would be a good place to watch the qarabag match and I was shocked at how amazing it is! The atmosphere, the decoration. Just everything was incredible! I would totally recommend to visit if you are a football fan especially a Newcastle United fan.“

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

“Quiet little pub with traditional irish comfort food and friendly service. We ordered sheperd's pie, a burger and the grilled chicken. We loved all of it and found our server - a tall, young blonde man with a faint european accent to be the friendliest and most attentive service we had all weekend.“

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

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

“Myself and my fiancee visited this spot last week on our first visit to New York. Great place, fantastic atmosphere and the two guys at the bar couldn't do enough for us. We will definitely be visiting here on our next visit to New York. Keep up the great work lads.“

“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“

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

“Malone's Irish Bar & Restaurant was a great find. The menu offered a large variety of items, and I opted for the shepherd’s pie, which was delicious and came in a very generous portion. Others in our group chose salads, and everyone seemed pleased with their meals.

We were lucky to catch happy hour, and the old-fashioned I had was perfectly made. While the restaurant was a bit lively and loud, we were still able to carry on a conversation comfortably. The staff was very kind, patient, and attentive throughout our visit.

If you’re in the area, I definitely recommend giving Malone’s a try for good food, drinks, and a friendly atmosphere.“

“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! :)“

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

“had a fantastic breakfast ere this morning and had the pleasure of having a great chat with bernie. do friendly and helpful in sharing some great attractions in the area. thanks from all the cavan family“

“Leckeres Essen und freundliche Bedienung.“

“Great atmosphere, friendliness, drinks and food! Love the Irish sausage rolls, smash burger and Shepards pie. Highly recommend this fine establishment.“

“Great atmosphere Great drinks Great bar staff“

“I went there with friends. All the staff are very friendly and always with a big smile. Affordable prices for drinks and appetizers. We did have a great time.“

“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.“

“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 🍀❤️🙌🏽“

“Best place in NYC: • Fast and friendly bartenders • Manager who really takes care of you • Cool but vigilant doorman“

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

“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.“

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

“Great food, service and outdoor space! Highly recommend!“

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

“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.“
