Mellow vibe, friendly service, great burger. Sat at the bar and had an IPA and the juicy well cooked but not dry delicious burger. Fries were good too.

We stopped on St. Patricks Day and it was a great decision. The staff couldn’t be more friendly. The service was unbelievable even though they were packed. The Guinness was the absolute best and the patrons were all friendly. The NYFD had a large presence and they were truly great people. Stop there and you won’t regret it.

We stopped here for lunch after visiting Moma. Very tasty food, including the chicken tacos (it seemed like a risk, but it paid off. Would definitely recommend!

Not a burger spot. They have 3 burgers on the menu, all with “50%brisket 50%short rib” absolutely FLAVORLESS. Even salt didn’t help this burger. Their chicken club was also flavorless, very surprising. These are the most basic meals ever but unfortunately they are completely forgettable. Just come here for a beer and a shot. Good service though.

This place is fantastic. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. A real "Irish" pub...comfortable, and great food. I grew up in NYC but moved to Florida and haven't been back in 25 years. Visiting for the weekend. THIS is the kind of establishment that is sadly disappearing from Manhattan, and elsewhere. And special thumbs up to Patty, the bartender!!! What a great guy!

Sonia was super friendly and always made sure we had plenty of food and drink! Great welcome change in an otherwise sea of stuffy corporateness!

A packed pub even on a weekday, only a few steps from where we are staying. Decent beer and food offerings. We had the buffalo cauli and stuffed jalapeños. Not bad and would come back.

Cool place with a pretty solid beer list. Service is a bit uneven. Not bad but nothing to write home about.

Came here on my first night in NYC, esp since it was a block away from the hotel and it was too cold and rainy to really walk around. Service/bartender was good, with sports on every Tv (excellent). One beer ended up with 2 more old fashioned drinks, plus some fried pickles to snack on. Could've ordered more food but was probably still tired from just landing just couple hours ago. It seemed dead 10om on a Tuesday night, but got really busy around midnight. Only NYC can do that!

Great bar, great bartender. I loved the quaintness of this place. Good character, especially in a neighborhood that is often touristy. My biggest problem is the $10 price tag for a Guinness and it wasn’t even in a proper pint glass. It was in one of those mini Guinness glasses.
