- Underrated bar hidden in plane sight. It's on a weird strip between NYU and East Village but worth dropping in if you're in the area. Top notch beer selection and good vibes. Seats in the back too.Upvoted 1 week ago
- Kristen VasanMay 6, 2016Great craft beer menu. I had my birthday here and was able to accommodate a bunch of friends. Get there early if you plan to do this
- RonniFebruary 24, 2015Back spots for food and the front for drinks but on a crowded night my friends and I grabbed our drinks and chilled in the back (a plus on the hooks around the area to hang our coats and bags)
- Tuesday Seisúin is back in force. Starts 7:00pm every Tuesday, but really 8:00pm, but really really 8:15pm ’til first song, followed by a 10-minute Guinness break, so call it 8:25pm.
- Tom PattersonJune 25, 2023An excellent selection of Irish Whiskeys. They have several bottles that I've never seen before. Worth a stop. 🥃👍
- Tomato toast is the best-kept secret SLA-mandated COVID meal. Cheap, filling, and hopefully sticks around post-pandemic.
- This great low key establishment has become our unofficial office watering hole....and for good reason. Drinks keep flowing, staff is amazing, bar food is tasty and ZERO pretentiousness
- Great, cozy place. The beer selection is huge. Also, really excited to see they have Omission here. As a beer lover (and gluten intolerant) this is the best gf beer I have ever had.
- Brew YorkApril 23, 2012A cross-pollenation of Irish pub and a craft beer bar, this spot boasts a long tap list with American, Belgian, and English brews, plus real pub fare like Shepherd's Pie and Sausage Rolls.
- Find all that’s hidden in the spectacular new mural. Perhaps you, if you’re a regular.
- Great beers and charming and varied seating areas all around the bar make it a great spot for a date or a catch up with friends.
- emeFebruary 21, 2015Loved the vibe of this place (come here when it's cold outside) but went here on a a Friday and oh so crowded. Pub food is alright but their wide selection of beers on tap will please many palates.
- "A few shelves of Irish whiskeys, one of the better pints of Guinness in the city, friendly but not naive bartenders, addictive sliders, various dark, churchy seating areas, and a good crowd..." Read more
- ºDamian White ºApril 25, 2012What a marvelous & enchanting bar! Great selection of beers, VERY friendly blond cocktail waitress, Irish band playing some 'jigs' at table, & a peculiar time machine in… (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
- Olha SvitlynetsMarch 27, 2022Fantastic atmosphere, great choice of beer, Irish brown bread is great!
- Andie SleemanDecember 14, 2016So many beers to choose from. I love this bar during the afternoon but not a huge fan at night (way too packed &a loud). Go here to drink beer!!
- Sunday afternoons Rob’ll often put out a free communal cheese plate. Buy a drink and eat.
- Cole KennedyJune 24, 2019Surprisingly great vibe for a small group on a Friday night. I would’ve expected it to be a total nightmare, based on the location, but it was just the right speed.
- Awesome staff and a solid selection of beers. Pilsner Urquell comes in a big old mug in case any dudes out there need some extra courage.
- The Old Smoke? You'll either love it or vomit. But stick with a classic gin & tonic and you'll be happy as a baby saved from being eaten.
- Nate BeattyMarch 13, 2016Good craft beer selection, typical bar food. Lots of seating in the back and you can usually find a spot
- Best Guinness in New York City, and coolest staff, too. Now with patio seating thanks to Covid.
- Pretty good for groups, and a huge beer selection. If you're torn on apps go for the fries with curry sauce and the mini burgers.
- Patrick BaskinOctober 3, 2014Great place for drinks with friends or a date (romantic interior w/candles). Grilled cheese is a must
- Beth BrunnerJuly 10, 2013I'm a purist when it comes to ceviche. I live in LA after all. So if you don't serve ceviche with chips, I'm confused. If you serve it with TWO PACKS OF SALTINES...? Utterly lost. HOW DO I EAT IT?!?
- Daniel HildrethSeptember 6, 2012Oh my damn! They have a rare sour on tap (petrus) and some super filtered pilsner urquell only available in 2 places in NYC. Drink it!
- CompassMay 19, 2014Swift’s bartenders are experts when it comes to brews, and the rotating list on stock will sure make any beer-lover weak in the knees.
- Lauren SmithApril 5, 2014Lots of hipster-bee's. Order the Spin/artichoke pizza and a Guinness ...yummy!
- Don McIntyreOctober 12, 2019Frantic and fun at the weekends. Great atmosphere and a good variety of beer.
- Ben MackeyAugust 24, 2018They have a pretty fantastic whiskey collection up behind the bar. Ask for a menu.
- Go early for pre-dinner drinks or during the week if you're looking to chat. Solid cocktails, better beer list.
- Patrick DonagherAugust 19, 2014Fantastic, friendly service and very impressive selection of libations
- Gianna SantelliDecember 22, 2016Curious to come back for some of the cocktails. Volume is ok you can manage a conversation but I was there on a Sunday.
- Raphael LangenscheidtFebruary 8, 2015Finally - the bartender we all need. Free seltzer, great beer selection, awesome whiskeys. And great arms.
- Alex RavenelMarch 12, 2015Pretty close to an ideal pub. Nice spot to hang out if not too crowded. Good beer list.
- MarthaMarch 7, 2015love me some Swift! great Irish bartenders. cool, casual spot. food is yummy too.
- Josh DMarch 31, 2013Really liked the St. James Gate Flip. Cocktail with rum, Guinness, sweet milk, and egg white. Tastes almost like a White Russian.
