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
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.
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.

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
Tom PattersonJune 25, 2023An excellent selection of Irish Whiskeys. They have several bottles that I've never seen before. Worth a stop. 🥃👍
Upvoted Feb 19- Tomato toast is the best-kept secret SLA-mandated COVID meal. Cheap, filling, and hopefully sticks around post-pandemic.
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.
"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
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.- 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.
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
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.
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!!
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.- Sunday afternoons Rob’ll often put out a free communal cheese plate. Buy a drink and eat.
Olha SvitlynetsMarch 27, 2022Fantastic atmosphere, great choice of beer, Irish brown bread is great!Upvoted Feb 19
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.- 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.
Best Guinness in New York City, and coolest staff, too. Now with patio seating thanks to Covid.
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.- 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.
- Find all that’s hidden in the spectacular new mural. Perhaps you, if you’re a regular.

Nate BeattyMarch 13, 2016Good craft beer selection, typical bar food. Lots of seating in the back and you can usually find a spot
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.
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!
Patrick BaskinOctober 3, 2014Great place for drinks with friends or a date (romantic interior w/candles). Grilled cheese is a must
Raphael LangenscheidtFebruary 8, 2015Finally - the bartender we all need. Free seltzer, great beer selection, awesome whiskeys. And great arms.
Don McIntyreOctober 12, 2019Frantic and fun at the weekends. Great atmosphere and a good variety of beer.
- Phil KatzNovember 13, 2015Wonderful beer list, warm and cozy environs, good bar food. At least during the week...
Alfred M.February 16, 2015sliders and sausage roll. whoooa. the pot pie is amazing too. get fries and put em in.
Ben MackeyAugust 24, 2018They have a pretty fantastic whiskey collection up behind the bar. Ask for a menu.
MarthaMarch 7, 2015love me some Swift! great Irish bartenders. cool, casual spot. food is yummy too.
Go early for pre-dinner drinks or during the week if you're looking to chat. Solid cocktails, better beer list.
Lauren SmithApril 5, 2014Lots of hipster-bee's. Order the Spin/artichoke pizza and a Guinness ...yummy!
Adrienne SMarch 23, 2012Standard village bar. Ok music and you can usually get a seat in back. They can make you a real cocktail too. (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Alex RavenelMarch 12, 2015Pretty close to an ideal pub. Nice spot to hang out if not too crowded. Good beer list.
The lamb sandwich is amazing. Juicy, hot & delicious. In a PG way. OK. PG-13 for the blue cheese
DanMarch 31, 2012sure the tap beer is the thing here, but fyi the templeton rye n pernod absinthe sazerac is herbal n tasty. no its not herbsaint, but close enuff.
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.
Patrick DonagherAugust 19, 2014Fantastic, friendly service and very impressive selection of libations
Russell HirschornDecember 28, 2015Large beer selection and very clean. In a great neighborhood for partying.
A dece selection of beers - good after work place. The fries tho
