“Immediately I knew this place was special. The ties to NYC and 9/11 run deep. I had a tuna melt which was open faced, and my husband had the Reuben. No pics because we ate everything before considering pictures. You will not be disappointed here. The service was great and the ambiance is special. If I'm ever in NYC again, I'll be back.“
“This is one of my favorite restaurants on the Upper West Side. Many great menu items, but my favorite is their chicken pot pie (see pic). I also often order the bruschetta - it’s always prepared perfectly. The ambiance of an Irish pub is full of character. The food, the drinks, and the service here is consistently excellent.“
“We happened upon this delightful spot after touring the Intrepid. We were hungry for good food and were not disappointed. I had a Franziskaner draft and a cheeseburger, while cooked to well, when I asked for medium, it was well seasoned and had a good flavor on a nice hard roll. My wife had the grilled chicken wrap, I ate 1/2 of it and really liked it. It was a nice balance of pesto and mozzarella to chicken. The side salad wase nicely dressed. This was a seriously nice find, it was charming to walk into one of the oldest continually run bars in NYC and find great draft beer and food at an affordable for NYC price. The service was outstanding as well.“
“We came down to watch the game and were welcomed and had a great morning. We did not have any food but what we saw looked good, the beer was delicious and the service excellent though. A great place to visit if you want an LFC game while in New York.“
“We stopped in last Sunday for a pint and wound up staying for the whole afternoon. Caught the GAA game between NYC and Mayo. Super friendly staff and excellent food. Even tried to change our train back to Boston but not able to. Could have stayed all night. Can’t wait to go back again!“
“Went to this bar after bartender at the Valerie lost our credit card. The lady behind the bar was kind and promptly served our drinks to get over the trauma at the Valerie.Ranting aside, chili lime wings and calamari were amazing. Great crunch, well seasoned, great flavor, and satisfying serving size.“
“Me and my boyfriend stopped in to get a drink on Sunday afternoon and Ro was amazing as soon as we walked through the door. She was attentive the whole time and we loved talking to her. Great drinks, great service. I’m from Stony Point, NY and I can’t wait to come back to see the live music.“
“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 coming to this place as a treat after a weird day. The Maggie's old fashioned is the best old fashioned I've had. The ahi tuna nachos are my favorite appetizer. Or if you're looking for something warming and filling, please try the Shepard's pie with the cheese added. No matter how busy it gets, the staff are always nice and easy to communicate with.“
“Stopped in for a couple of drinks while headed to the subway, super glad I did! The bartender was amazing and went out of his way to take care of us. Clean and comfortable traditional Irish pub with plenty of TVs to catch the game. Highly recommend.“
“Completely unexpected! Many years ago stepped in unknowingly of their history and was greeted by Jimmy and you felt known even though it was my first visit. Sat at bar and staff was so attentive. Food was incredible! Second visit… was like how I imagine walking into to “Cheers” would have been. Everyone remembered even though months went by! A rare gem in NYC and worth a visit for the amazing food, warm and meaningful hospitality and connections! Became a regular and will always be a stop after leaving NYC on my visits !“
“We were staying in the area and ended up having dinner twice in this pub. 4 stars is average between these two visits. I’d rate one 5 stars but the other 2-3. It seems one of those places where you need to know what to order, even though menu is reasonably short.I do not recommend ordering salmon, which was a small piece of fish on a big pile of spinach. Also the Shepherds pie rendition I was served was the weirdest one (and least good) I’ve ever tried. It was a very thin layer of mediocre beef with 3 pieces of carrots, covered in a pool of gravy with mashed potatoes piped around the perimeter of the plate. In the gravy pool, there were swimming some peas that tasted like they were hastily defrosted before serving. It was under-seasoned and the large pieces of bay leave I had to fish out of the gravy pool were just the proverbial cherry on top.We came back only because the kid liked his burger, it was raining and it was the only restaurant in the area without deafening music. I’m glad we did though because I ordered fish and chips and somehow it was actually fantastic. Granted, “chips” were regular fries but fish was plump, succulent pieces of cod meat with perfectly crisp breading. Tiny portion of cole slaw was also good. Vegetarian burgers are frequently an afterthought at places like this but it was pretty good.Beer on tap was OK, there isn’t a large selection. Got a mixed cocktail in happy hour, don’t recommend it as it was mostly ice in a small glass.Nothing special to say about service. On the first visit, we were left to our own devices until we asked for a check and on the next visit, the waiter stopped by to ask if everything was ok. Beware of credit card fee, we were able to pay with debit card to avoid it. It does leave unpleasant aftertaste though, feels like being bamboozled. Just roll it into your cost, for cripes sake.“
“If you want to end your night after experiencing times square, this is the place. Just a minute walk. This pub is lit. Made some good friends and the live music makes you go round twoParking: Parking anywhere in NYC is difficult. Plan ahead or wait to get lucky finding a spot“
“I was killing time in the city before my flight later that day. This was the 4th spot I visited and I decided to post up for the remainder of my visit. Very chill vibe and the bartender, Lucas, was awesome. Thanks for helping me kill some time! Will definitely stop in on the next visit!“
“Super cool place. We ordered the fish and chips, Philly and Ruben. All looked pretty decent. I personally had the Ruben and it was "ok" not a lot of meat on it at all, like not a little but like the kitchen was running out of meat and could not put anything more on it. Lots of Kraut. The fries were good as well as the habanero mustard they had for dipping. $1 charge for it but whatever. Service was excellent. Nice place to grab a drink and maybe next time the fish and chips.“
“A hidden gem in the wall street area. Beautiful old antique wooden bar brought in from Europe that is well maintained, polished, and stacked with any liquor you could think of. There is a sizable room with tables passed the bar that is perfect to enjoy their delicious dinner specialties -- something you would never expect from a bar. The only reason why I gave it a 4 star rating for the atmosphere is because I have tinnitis which makes it hard to hear conversations in loud gatherings. I was there on a Thursday and the bar was packed . Everyone was having a great time hence loud (but only at the bar area). If it is that packed on a Thursday, I presume that the "party" is constant every day it is open. It is Wall Street after all.“
“Pretty standard Pub, which isn't a chop but praise. Who doesn't love a good Irish/English pub? Decor is great, bathrooms are clean, drinks are plenty. The Barbacoa Tacos were acceptable, the soft taco shells were tasteless, dry, and fell apart. The meat was delicious though. This location is close to GCT which is awesome.“
“Went to NYC for Yankees home opener. First night we visited four Irish pubs. Mulligans was by far the best in several areas: 1) Best ambience 2) Best bartender- both Irish and super attentive and most importantly, 3) By far the best Guinness. My friend, who travels to Ireland at least twice a year, said the Guinness tasted like it does in Ireland. And I thought it was the best Guinness of all the Irish bars we visited in NYC!!!“
“First time in NYC celebrating 25th Anniversary. Stopped in for a quick beer and met a wonderful bartender. What a wonderful place, I’ve spent many years visiting Irish bars, this is a top choice. Will definitely find a way to get back before we leave. Owner showed up and spent some time talking with me and my wife. Highly recommend,“
“I hosted my fiancé's 30th birthday party at Slattery's and I'm so glad I did! The whole team was easy to work with and very accommodating. The private room upstairs is spacious with plenty of seating. The staff was super friendly and service was great throughout the entire night. We were also able to play our own music which is a big plus for us. I would definitely recommend hosting an event here!“
“Playwright Irish Pub is amazing! Proud to call it home of #TigresEnNYC. It's always great for watching soccer and of course, any other sports. Mazum and the crew are always great not hesitating putting the game for us and making sure we have a great time. The food is amazing and the beer is always cold as it should be!“
“I visited this bar on a weekend night for a pint. The place has a strong pub atmosphere, with exposed wood and Irish signage. There was a person doing live music in the corner who was great. The bartenders were attentive and quick to serve. Overall I had a great time here.“
“Visited here on a busy Friday evening without a booking during our recent trip to NYC due to my partners Guinness addiction steering us in that direction. They were really kind and found us a table, the service was impeccable and we were very well looked after. I can honestly say the short rib papperdelle is one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth, it was a flavour sensation, I savored every single mouthful. The expresso martini I washed it down with was pretty good too. We went back again on Sunday evening as I wanted to try the New York strip steak which was also delicious. If we are ever in the area again we will certainly be back.“
“Went there with my girlfriend last night to celebrate my first official legal saint Patrick’s day. The waitress there was very nice. She was very informative on the drinks. Knew what she was talking about. The food there was great. Will absolutely return. No doubt. Thank you so much!“
“Love going here for Knicks playoff games. Great spot with tons of seating and TVs. What I love the most is that they turn on the volume (only for playoff games unfortunately…would really like it if they did it season-round though). Nonetheless, still a go to spot for sports games.“
“We’re not from NYC, but whenever we are in town we visit the Milton. Amazing food, great atmosphere, and they truly make you feel at home. I wish this place was in my hometown so I could be one of the regulars. I will 100% come back any time I’m in the city.“
“I've eaten here for lunch a couple of times and everything has been good. The fried chicken sandwich, the penny burger and the BLT are delicious. I especially like the Love Shack drink. Contains, prosecco, raspberry and I believe vodka.“
“Great lunch in NYC! Although there are a few gluten free options it is not really gluten friendly. You could swap out the bun or pasta. There is a cauliflower crust pizza available on the appetizer menu. But, fries are not gluten free. Food we selected was delicious.“
“Was visiting family as we are from the Philippines. was able to have dinner with the owner and his beautiful wife. Can't say enough on the great food, service and company!! If you want a TRUE NYC experience THIS IS THE PLACE. Thanks for the great time...“
“McHales is within a stone’s throw of Time Square and a bunch of hotels, but somehow manages to retain a local feel. I say somehow, but this is because the founder, Paul, is a dead-set champion bloke, the rest of the staff are authentic and welcoming, the space is large enough to have some privacy and small enough to feel cosy, and sitting at the bar is a classic New York Irish treat (without the sticky beer-stained feel). I found it while I was there for PLUS NEW YORK (if you know, you know) and invited brokers to come and see me there. So, when in NYC, get yourself down there and sit back, relax, eat good food, say hi to Paul and the team and enjoy.“
“Very exciting find. Searched for restaurants near my hotel that served wings three different times and did not see this as a suggestion. While walking saw the sign and decided to investigate. Will definitely be back on future visits to new York. Next time I will try an entree... maybe. The appetizers were delicious and the make it yourself tray was great. I do not drink, but the drink specials were varied. Went during happy hour, so it was pretty packed but still comfortable. Wait staff friendly and attentive.“
“This place is a nice Irish pub! ?? The Long Hall Pub in Murray Hill ? is a wonderful spot to grab beer ?, watch ? a game ?, and socialize! They have a large selection of beers ? and lots of indoor seating. I wish I knew about this place sooner!“
“I first discovered Finnegans Wake in 1990 and it was and still is my favorite NY place. Those were the days, my friend. We thought they’d never end but I haven’t been back to NYC since 2013. I heard Ignatius passed and May he RIP and Frank, the best bartender must have retired. If not, please give him a shout out from his “California Girls , Maria and Kelly.“
“Great place for food and to watch live sports! We came over from Ireland and one of the staff members was saying about them having friends over there. Very friendly staff and the atmosphere and settings is amazing. I will look forward to returning next time!“
“Nice little Irish pub with good atmosphere and service.I had a hankering for bangers and mash as well as Onion Rings.The onion rings were amongst the best I’ve ever had - light batter with the right amount of seasoning and the oil was fresh.The bangers and mash were good too. Just the right amount of everything on the plate.I’d say it is good value for money in a sit down restaurant in NYC.Thank you!“
“This was THE BEST!!! Super friendly, smiling and helpful staff. Delicious eats, and perfect for our March Madness NCAA trip to Brooklyn. Sad that our Catamounts couldn’t upset the Dukies, but this place cured our ills on Saturday 3.23.24??The brunch special was the best deal in Town!“
“I like the atmosphere there!Great place to have a drink with friends after the long week.Forgot to mentioned the second floor is much more quiet.Staff are super cool; They played nice pub music and danced ?This place carries the oldest brewery from Germany. -Weihenstephan:) ?I had a delightful time there.Recommended“
“Great place to hang out! Usually packed after work. We came for lunch. Our server Michele was amazing, patient when we couldn't decide. When she brought our drinks she totally looked like Wednesday Adam's see my photo. Xavier brought our meal w a smile! Great place, come one come all!“
“This has been a fav stop for many years. They always had a great lunch special (I worked at Lord & Taylor which was across the street ?) I feel they've been there 100yrs. The ONLY business that survived (the pandemic)on the block. I hope they survive another hundred?❤️“
“One of the top places in midtown. Everyone is awesome Kelly , Angie , Kate , Ellie and Stephanie. Also stop by and see Tom the owner. If people gave a bad review I can assure you the problem is the person writing. Food and service is great. Even the cooks are great. Go visit.“
“I had a going away party at Shades of Green, and it ended up being one of the most memorable nights of my life. The owner, JP, and all the bartenders were absolutely incredible at ensuring the night went smoothly. I definitely recommend this space for private events, as it's very reasonably priced and a perfect spot to make the best memoies!“
“Still an Irish pub in nearby Midtown West with welcoming gesture,classic Irish dishes and huge bar brings you in the mood after work or lunch outings . It has classic atmosphere and staff are friendly as it possible get since they all Irish . Secret gem ?“
“This might be my favorite bar in midtown! My co-workers and I like to see movies at the Kips Bay AMC across the street and come in here for a few drinks after. The staff is always amazing, they have a real fire place, and the atmosphere is cozy and warm even when they are packed. If you are in Manhattan and looking for an Irish Pub... Do yourself a favor and avoid all the other ones and come here!“
“Came for drinks late last night . Had a really amazing time. The manager Ricky made one of the best amaretto sours I ever had in my life . From the first sip till 30 mins later after babysitting that drink and the end of it tasted even better with the ice melted . How? ?“
“Saturday Night Saint Patrick’s day weekend. I missed my train and just was having a bad day overall. decided to check out the bar. Rachel was my server. She was very welcoming and hospitable. Drinks were on point. Rachel made the time go quickly Just wanted to say thanks again and I’ll def be back here.“
“This pub and the employees here are amazing. We have been here 63 days due to my daughter being in the hospital with a serious brain injury. They have been our family. The pub is only 2 blocks from NYP so we felt comfortable coming here every night for dinner so we stayed close in case we needed to run back. Their menu is big enough to have something different every night. The food is amazing!! When we walk in, whoever is working asks us how our daughter’s day went. They are caring, incredible individuals who were able to put a smile on our face for a couple of hours a day. I can’t say enough about the staff—John, Dee, Matt, Kerith, Edwin, Isabella, Jerry and G, and don’t forget the owner Manny. They are all such compassionate people and I can’t wait to come back with my daughter after she fully recovers and introduce her to this awesome group (we are headed to NJ for rehab so we have to say our tearful goodbyes). They will always remain in our hearts for their kindness. Bye…for now“
“I was here for drinks. The prices are cheaper compared to other places. The beer is around $8, though it's not the best bar if you're looking for cocktails, as they cost around $16 each. They also have live music at night. Overall, a great bar if you're passing by, but I wouldn't make it a must-visit.“
“Excellent food and service. Tight fit inside on St Patrick's Day but guests enjoying dinner were gracious, friendly, and understanding of gentle bumps. Lots of families with children of various ages and various groups of adults. Good crowd.Good hum of music in the background but not so loud you couldn't talk, good selection of sports on tv's on mute.One restroom was down a flight of stairs, I understand there are other bathroom options but I didn't get to see them for myself. Washed hands, no issue. Not sure on stall size. Street parking as far as I could tell.Menu was great. Lamb burger well done w all the fixings and sweet curry sauce on the side was outstanding. Flavorful and tender. The kitchen team graciously split the burger for us and the fries between two plates as we said we were going to split it as our appetizer. Really listened to us and it was a welcome surprise. Each of us had the shepards pie and the mashed potatoes were light but still substantial. Broiled under the oven and decorated with fresh rosemary we sprinkled over-top was very complimentary. Portions were just right, food was hot, drinks were cold and service was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Prices were fair.Overall a wonderful evening. Thank you!“
“I had mixed feelings due to some misleading early info by the day person . This individual seemed too preoccupied with discrediting their coworkers. I have to say Susan was a complete contradiction to what we heard. She was so friendly and welcoming to my party that I not only made sure to come back but also had my 56th birthday party. The place is what seems your typical dive bar but my whole party was made feel special by the bartenders remembering our names and from the moment we walked in the owner Rob was there to assist. I don’t make reviews often but this birthday was made so special by such a friendly bar and its workers on the ues. Thank you Rob, Susan and the bar back Jesus. I can’t say enough about how you made us feel.“
“What a great place and so glad we found it just a couple of minutes walk from our hotel. We visited every day during our trip and served the best Guinness in NYC. We had food most days which was tasty and they still served food late. It was my first visit to NYC and the staff were a great help and all had time for a chat. Definitely worth a visit, you won’t regret it.“
