Looking for a fun, loud and ridiculous time? Look no further. A combination of locals and tourists make this a great time. Karaoke Fri & Sat downstairs.

Don't go there when looking for a romantic date! It looks like a typical American bar, but we had amazing bar food there! Mac&Cheese w/ truffle or the Philly Cheese Steak! Friendly, helpful and fast!

The mean fiddler is a midtown Irish pub and times square party bar destination, offering Irish music, karaoke, sports bar, private events in midtown. It is a fabulous times square nightclub.

I really liked this place. The staff acted like I was there neighbor! When I ordered the burger a woman named Una said try the loaded nachos...sooo good, esp. with a beer! The burger was great.

This place plays great music on Fridays. I have so far heard Jimmy Eat World, Modest Mouse, Coldplay, Kings of Leon, Paramore and Smashing Pumpkins. Haven't played song yet I haven't liked.

Perfect for a sloppy dancing/karaoke kind of night

Fun bar on a Wednesday. They have beer pong and great service.

This is not an Irish bar. But it does serve a range of expensive domestic and Irish beers and show sports.
ReshmaJuly 30, 2011
What is this bar? Thought it was your average Irish pub but certainly is not - basement is the where the action is at, lots of very dressed up folks getting down on the dance floor...karaoke too.
Terra ScottMay 16, 2012
Awesome bartenders! Especially Bernard! Great nachos as well!!
Chris SimmsMay 5, 2013
Got to love the atmosphere of an old Irish pub with a fresh kick.
Brigitte PerezDecember 30, 2016
Better be friends with the bartender unless you enjoy watered down drinks. Stick to beer. Tourists upon tourists.
MartinJuly 25, 2015
Make sure you also check the lower level for some karaoke

A romantic bar in the middle of time square

Free finger blasts on the arcade games. Ask for Jerry.

Get the blackened chkn sandwich n fries..damn good!
Vicky P.June 12, 2018
The food is good, but the music is too freaking loud and gets on my nerves. Avoid if your not into loud music from a live band.
Christity FitzpatrickAugust 27, 2013
Gay bar still legit. Good music. Stay upstairs
