“Had my husband’s surprise party this weekend. My family has had parties their in the past and Monahan’s continues to live up to their excellent reputation. The servers were so friendly, professional and engaging with our family…their personalities are perfect for their jobs….thank you so much. The food was outstanding….first time we had the stuffed mushroom and they were amazing. All our appetizers, The London broil, turkey and pasta salad were just perfect. My guests were very happy. My family continues to highly recommend Monahan’s. Thank you so much Jeff 😀“

“delisous Irish foods and homemade desserts.“

“High expectations, but not impressed with this visit. Wednesday early dinner , 7/23/25, 5pm.
No issue with availability and service, very attentive.
Chicken dish with sauce ok, but asparagus flimsy and green bean sized while mashed potatoes served ice cream scoop and lacking in flavor.
Long awaited favorite of mine, fish and chips.
Fish better than most in area, still lacking in wow factor while the (chips) were a flimsy mess , no crisp or seasoning.
As to beer, Stella was fine but Blue Moon dark and flat.
Better luck next time.“

“The bartender Pam!!! She makes me want to come back… the people are soo welcoming and the men! Pure GENTLEMEN!! Will def be coming back PAM IS A DOLL AND WILL LOOK OUT FOR THE LADIES!! Thank you Pam she was soo comforting I for one will be back!!!“

“I got chocolate chips pancake and turkey egg cheese with home fries. Sandwich was good, they added tomato sauce with mayo, so it all blend in together. The pancake was little disappointing as I had to eat it dry because didn’t provide any syrup. But it was soft and fresh. Would order here again.“

“Shepherd's pie is terrific. As is mostly everything on the menu“

“The best place in the neighborhood“

“Only drove 75 miles and it was worth it, we milled the food in the car, it was just like home, thank you so much for bringing back all the memories of take outs on a Friday night from Walkinstown or Clondalkin, a long way from home, we ordered 2, 3 in 1 trays and extra curry sauce and prawn crackers and chicken balls and spicebag chicken balls and 2 cans of rock shandy, portion sizes is big, and the food is amazing. Run don’t walk here, food porn as in the pic below.“

“We had the best pre cruise visit since we were staying nearby at a hotel. Both bartenders were excellent and the regular customers! Made us “southerners” feel comfy and offered up ideas and suggestions of navigating the concrete jungle! If we ever return to NY, we will definitely be back. Awesome food! Awesome service! Excellent drinks. Made our trip!!“

“Great group good food and great drinks.“

“Excellent food 🥘 great atmosphere, nice draft beers 🍻 you can enjoy time watching the games on the TV“

“Excellent take out home cooked meal style food. I love and buy the salmon piece which is huge and is $8. I also get chicken cutlets for the kids. The cabbage and side items also look good but I just add at home a side and the meal is done. Also the coffee is my favorite in the neighborhood. Muffins melt in my mouth particularly the corn and chocolate chip. They should have more chocolate chip or maybe not bc I would buy and eat it more. There food is great home cooked style for a FAIR price. I’m so glad they are in my neighborhood.“

“The greatest neighborhood bar in NY City. It’s a place “Where Everyone Knows Your Name.” Yes that is a reference to Cheers 🤣“

“Las hamburguesas Woodside exquisitas, bien servidas y con ganas de comerse dos... Muy buen servicio además... Ah, y para completar, cerveza...“

“I came here for the first time recently because of an event that I attended. This place is truly exceptional with its hospitality and service as the staff was fantastic.

This restaurant is a well-known institution in Queens and has been in business since 1933, and I could see why they have been around for so long.

I really didn't get a chance to try anything from their food menu, but the drinks I ordered were really good, and the bartenders are super nice. This place has a great sportsbar vibe, and it is a great place for hosting events since this restaurant is quite large.

I noticed other reviewers complaining about the parking situation in this area, but since I came quite early, I didn't have any issues finding street parking near the restaurant.

Based on my first impression of this place, I will definitely stop by again in the near future to grab a bite and a few drinks.“

“Found this place doing an internet search and didn’t know what to expect. Friendly local bar and staff, wide range of comfort food on the menu, and Smithwicks on draft. A very pleasant experience!“

“This place is our go-to spot for winding down after work! Cozy, old-school, and full of friendly vibes. Nothing beats their French onion soup—it’s hands-down the best in town—and pairing it with a cold classic beer melts away the stress from the workday grind.

Besides their amazing onion soup, I’m all about the shepherd’s pie, and my husband is obsessed with their chicken wings.“

“Good friends with good bands!“

“Been there a few times. I must say food is fantastic!!! The fish tacos and the southwestern chicken sandwich is a must try. They have different specials everyday. Friendly atmosphere, service is very attentive. Love trivia nights and live music on Saturdays. So far is my favorite place to go with friends and family. Great spot for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. Highly recommended!!“

“Great food great customer service“

“This is one of my favorite place to go. Eileen is very awesome as is the rest of the staff. This is a true gem for a service worker like myself. Monday is my Friday and my friends will walk over here with me and let me get a proper pint or three. Life ain’t so bad when you can sit here for an evening.“

“Great place to meet and to dine“

“Our group had a wonderful experience at Sullivan’s Quay. Delicious food, cocktails and great service. Thank you Brian and crew! We will be back!💕“

“The nicest staff you ever will meet . Real neighborly feel whether you live in area or travel a half hour like I do . Great value for the many of us on a budget . Much cheaper night out than a night at the Diner and a lot more fun“

“🔥Great atmosphere, great service.“

“My fiance and I found this place one night after working late. We try to come once a week for an hour or two to unwind. It's one of our favorite bars in Queens. Drinks and prices are good, atmosphere is laid back and chill. Outside seating area for smoking and drinking.
Thank you Joey the bartender for making us laugh and for the crazy conversations about anything and everything. Cheers?“

“This place has great food and service and has undergone some renovation recently,which gives the place a nice fresh look. You can't tell that the bar has been open for 65years as it barely looks a day over 30. They had good live music when we were there and I was also thrilled that they had quick draw lottery to play as I enjoyed the food. A definite gem of a pub. If I lived closer,I would likely frequent this establishment.

Parking: There's street parking for free that is limited and a parking lot with meters very close where it's .25 cents per 30 minutes with FREE parking on Sundays and holidays

Wheelchair accessibility: Our group had someone in a wheelchair which there was no problem to get in and out. She was able to sit comfortably.“

“My brother & I went last Wednesday evening to celebrate my birthday. Our server was so wonderful ( & I am so sorry I do not know her name!!). I had a shell steak ( took a chance) that was amazing! Arrived at our table a sizzling 1 1/2 thick thing of beauty with a massive baked potato and veggies. Exactly as I ordered. The soda bread was warm & fresh. My brother could barely finish his burger that had to be at least a half pound of meat, perfectly cooked. Even the coffee was delicious. We split the chocolate cake, (to die for) that the server generously said was on her for my birthday. The atmosphere was cozy, uncrowded, quiet enough to talk, and the prices are very reasonable!. This place is a hidden gem & I will be back!“

“I ran in to grab a quick lunch and didn’t realize I didn’t have enough money or my atm card. They graciously offered to give me the drink anyway and get them the next time. Great customer service!“

“The service was amazing. I had ordered the "Briana" as well as a side order of onion rings. The sandwich was very good, but the onion rings must've been rushed. You could still taste the batter on them; other than that, this spot was great. Might go back to see if they redeem themselves.“

“Lunch was amazing. The grilled chicken salad was tasty and the portion size was incredible. Exceptional service!“
