I tried to go here with friends and was denied entry for wearing a white tank top. It was a hot summer night, and my outfit was perfectly appropriate—I’ve worn it to plenty of other bars without issue. When I asked the security guard why it wasn’t allowed, he said, “it’s just the owner’s rules” and claimed that every bar on Park Ave enforces the same dress code (spoiler alert - they don’t!). I asked if these rules were posted anywhere, and they weren’t—nor do they appear on the bar’s website or social media. If a dress code is going to be enforced, it should be made clear. Otherwise, it feels like arbitrary and potentially discriminatory gatekeeping. I also noticed women inside wearing more revealing outfits, and the guard said the owner lets females wear whatever they want. Yikes. Overall, I don’t recommend this place, even though the security team was polite. The owner’s practices seem questionable, and when I asked to speak to him, he wasn’t available.

Thanks to everyone at Magpie's for hosting the US Women's Olympic Soccer Team's Gold medal match. Great time...go USA.
If white shirts aren’t allowed why’s the OWNER wearing one? Just a little confused why you’d make a police of your business you don’t even adhere to. Security was more than professional however the owner was far from it.
Didn't even sit down here. We were denied at two other places in park ave because they had long wait times. So we decided pub food sounded great! Now knowing at the time they didn't serve food for a PUB..... We walked in and stood there waiting to get seated. We were asked by some lady bartending if we needed anything and we asked if we just sit ourselves. Then she replied with a VERY passive aggressive attitude "well we aren't a real restaurant...we just serve drinks like normal bars" extremely taken back on how rude this lady was. We just walked out after she laughed in our face. Will not try to come here ever again. Learn how to treat customers.

I was DENIED entry due to no sleeves on my shirt . Tried waiting outside as my friends came back out so we could find a different bar. Was told NOT to wait on the sidewalk in front of magpies because the OWNER would get pissed. Okay got it magpies owns the sidewalk. Been there before no problem with a sleeve shirt. Lastly Women sitting inside and outside, few had tank tops on ?
Cool place. Will definitely go back again. Bartenders and security are super cool. Nice location.

Magpie is extremely consistent in their service. Every day of the week, you’ll find the energy warm and welcoming.I’d like to highlight Ray, the bouncer, for being exceptionally nice and going above and beyond to keep everyone safe. Thank you for you, Ray!

My friends and I have been regulars for years and continue to come back weekend after weekend. The staff is phenomenal, food is fuego and the vibes are immaculate. No where else I’d rather rot whether it’s for a Friday night out or a Sunday bills game!

Been coming here for years! I have never been disappointed. I am always welcomed in with big smiles and given service right away. They don’t play enough Taylor Swift but the pizza logs have never let me down. Bills game? yes. Sunday funday? absolutely. Just want to drink? perfect place. 10/10

Irish double national, so was really looking forward to checking out this spot.Charming venue layout, close to authentic Irish pub.Probably caught them on an off night but the service was passive aggressive and I would have expected the Guinness to taste at least like something other than carbonated water.Old Told, be it British (all jokes!), is better quality.Maybe i’ll try the Magpie again, but they’d had want to get real Guinness and explain to their bartenders it’s a bad look to be criticizing patrons while they order
