Had the Whiskey chicken. The chicken was chewey and hard to cut. The meal had 0 flavor. Dont bother with that... awful. Also ordered was a steak which was great and made as ordered. Service was excellent . so mixed food review

Those who know, know—Gildea’s is one of Pearl River’s best-kept secrets. For years, many locals have passed by without ever stepping inside. But once you do, you’ll understand why this cozy pub earns such loyal fans.
The menu offers traditional Irish fare done right. While the Shepherd’s Pie is a classic go-to, the real standout is the Irish Chicken Curry—hands down the best dish in the house. It’s rich, flavorful, and truly memorable.
You’ll also find a “proper pint” of Guinness here—smooth, well-poured, and always consistent. Whether you’re popping in for a drink or sitting down for a full meal with friends, Gildea’s delivers. The bartenders and wait staff are exactly what you’d hope for: warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive.
This isn’t just another neighborhood pub—it’s an experience. If you’ve never been, it’s time to stop walking past and start enjoying what the regulars already know: Gildea’s is the real deal.

Ordered 1/2 tray of Shepherds pie..
No potatoes…. Just a small topping that you could barely see.
Vegetables… carrots, and peas were still hard… yuck Yuck

We had diet cokes, the sausages with curry fries as an app, bangers and mash and fish and chips. My husband loved the thin batter. Service was impeccable. Will be back.

Just went for a bite and to watch the hockey game. Food was very good. The service kids were good and the beers kept flowing.

Great Irish Pub! The food is good and has a great bar. Be sure to get the Corned Beef Rueben. Service is amazing! The price point is reasonable. Be sure to drop in if you are in the area!

Found in the heart of Pearl River! Amazing burgers. Great beer on tap and awesome staff. Only downfall is poor lighting. Highly recommend, would go to again.
