Cole KennedyDecember 21, 2016Look, 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.
p hdpJune 20, 20131lb 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.
Tom DiMaggioMay 4, 2019One of the oldest establishments in NYC. Enjoy it, the bartenders are friendly and will take care of you if you take care of them.- Ranu RajkarnikarDecember 2, 2014Classic establishment in Chelsea - walk in and feel like a local. They have reasonably priced drinks and bar food. What's not to like?
- James KiernanOctober 28, 2019Quintessential nyc dive bar with solid food. Burger is pretty good but far from best burger in the city.Upvoted 2 weeks ago
Amy TremmelAugust 12, 2015Awesome 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.
JPFebruary 20, 2016This 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
Aarthi D.October 19, 2014Appropriately dive-y old school Irish bar. Drink a Guinness and enjoy something fried, just trust me. You might spot some UCB people late night.
Ms HeleneApril 16, 2015Standard 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!)
Janelle KaalundJanuary 30, 2014In spite of what the menu says you can get tater tots with your burger! So good!
Village VoiceMarch 3, 2011They have a great happy hour ($2 - $3 beers) that you can find using our Happy Hours app! http://www.gotime.com/nyc/mobile
Brendan JordanMarch 7, 2012This 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.
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
Try the McManus Ale, it's basically Saranac Pale Ale on tap. A beer for whatever mood you're in.
Ann McMarch 12, 2013The 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.
Raj S.March 2, 2012Nothing 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.
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!
Adam WilsonJuly 5, 2013I 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.
Bill Van PeltOctober 26, 2011Nice place but the beer was warm. I would be willing to try it again though.
Jess OwensFebruary 13, 2011Only place I know of in the US where you can get the excellent Paddy whiskey!
Stephen SandersMay 20, 2011Drinking a pickle back shot (Jameson chased with pickle juice) is a life changing experience.
Awesome bartenders at one of the oldest bars in the city
Come here for the bartenders and beer! Great neighborhood place'
