Look, it's only getting harder to find an unpretentious pub in NYC. Nothing here is great, but everything is going to be okay. Have a burger and a beer after work.

1lb Burgers with bacon STANDARD with each one on the menu. Combined with a nice draft, this is definitely a place I would recommend for lunch or dinner with friends.

This is an old school bar. Great bartenders! The wings are excellent and make sure to order a pickleback shot too.

One of the oldest establishments in NYC. Enjoy it, the bartenders are friendly and will take care of you if you take care of them.

Classic establishment in Chelsea - walk in and feel like a local. They have reasonably priced drinks and bar food. What's not to like?

Awesome classic Irish pub. Good mix of people here and really friendly bartenders. Great selection of beers on tap and a good price!

Great. Dive. Bar. Can't go wrong here. It gets crowded but the hipsters are kept to a minimum. Solid beer selection.

Appropriately dive-y old school Irish bar. Drink a Guinness and enjoy something fried, just trust me. You might spot some UCB people late night.

Standard bar menu of fatty classics including fries covered in chilli and cheese, club sandwiches (better than usual), burgers and sides like coleslaw (awful) and baked beans ( out of a can!)

Go for the McManus Ale. Way better than most house beers are.
Janelle KaalundJanuary 30, 2014
In spite of what the menu says you can get tater tots with your burger! So good!

This is the type of blue collar bar you go to after a hard day to drink some good beer, have a great conversation, leave, and do it all over again next week

Great burger and beer. Voted best burger in city.
Jason SuOctober 23, 2021
Amazing burgers and tots.
Ann McMarch 12, 2013
The cheese burger and fries where good. The iced tea tastes like it was made in a coffee pot. But I guess that's what I get for ordering iced tea in a bar.

They have a great happy hour ($2 - $3 beers) that you can find using our Happy Hours app! http://www.gotime.com/nyc/mobile

If u play the Orion touch screen game up front, the right hand side of the screen is defective so when touching that area hold ur finger there longer than u normally would

Excellent bacon cheese burger and steak fries

The burgers here are yummy and they add bacon to the cheeseburgers!

There is no happy hour. Bud and bud light drafts are always 3. And the buy backs are generous.

BBQ chicken sandwich or turkey club are the way to go. Great bartenders!

Nothing like this dive-y Irish bar in Chelsea. Just post up for a pint and enjoy the sights. I wouldn't eat the food here unless intoxicated.

Try the McManus Ale, it's basically Saranac Pale Ale on tap. A beer for whatever mood you're in.

This is where students of comedy go to enjoy each others company until they inevitably get sick of this place, and sick of each others company.

Try the house ale, and tip nicely - great staff, great bar.

Always get a Guinness
Bill Van PeltOctober 26, 2011
Nice place but the beer was warm. I would be willing to try it again though.

Unpretentious pub with great food. Pat the bartender is a gem. Patrons are really friendly. Nice ambiance. Read more

Friendly family owned pub.

I could leave a Dixie cup full of Bud Light out in the sun for seven days, it still wouldn't be as bad as the Bud Light served in this establishment.
Cassie WallaceMarch 1, 2015
Great (but expensive) Guinness.
Jess OwensFebruary 13, 2011
Only place I know of in the US where you can get the excellent Paddy whiskey!
James KiernanOctober 28, 2019
Quintessential nyc dive bar with solid food. Burger is pretty good but far from best burger in the city.

Classic bar for a Bud Heavy and Jameson.

Drinking a pickle back shot (Jameson chased with pickle juice) is a life changing experience.
