The vibe of this place is amazing. Live music every time I've been here, including tonight. The bands seem to all have this edge to them and there are some serious musicians in the group. NYC night music is a genre of its own. The only thing holding me back from a five star is tonight's cocktail choice. The 11th Street Old Fashioned. I have had some excellent OFs and this is not among them. The other drinks here may be excellent but this OF is super sweet and hides the Rye.'nuff said. Come for the vibe, they do have Laphroig's ... can't be all bad. read more

DOOOO NOTT GO HERE!!!! if this is the bouncer at the door you will have a bad start to your night. I don't know what his power trip is but he is a nasty man! To the bar owners I will get rid of my poor reviews of your place if you fire him - you'll be doing yourselves a favor! read more

11th Street Bar - Ugly man inside and out - Irish Pub Near Me - New York, New York

Yikesss.... do not go here... Bouncer is super rude offensive and disrespectful. 11th street bar do better! i didnt even get to experience it since we left because of how rude the bouncer was and for no reason. i live in nyc and i am used to the occasional rude bouncer but this guy was another level... i mean completely out of line. read more

worst experience ever, I don't recommend this place. Bouncer is horrible and will ruin your night. I've never encountered a more hateful bouncer in my life he just likes to be mean and disrespectful. read more

Very bad experience here, door guy is very rude and is looking for conflict. there are thousands of bars in the area would recommend checking out a better one read more

I love this bar! Amazing place to see live music in the small room the back. Great drinks and amazing bar staff. Always friendly and going the extra mile. There are a few snacks like a hot pretzel, toastie sandwiches and chips. Love the signature drinks and recommendations. My friends the Brothers Yee play here sometimes. Always sound great! I just wish there was a little more space for dancing. My go-to stop-in to get a drink in the EV spot - always something fun going on. read more

Popped in here for a couple of pints with my partner and felt right at home. Fantastic beer selection (and partner enjoyed a Hugo Spritz), friendly bartender, and seemed like a solid spot for great Irish music. The bar itself felt very local and had plenty of seating at the bar and in the backroom where they host live music. Great spot to catch games as well. Will have to return for a show sometime! read more

I came here on a Monday night for drinks with a friend. It was a very standard bar. There was live jazz when we were there, which we didn't check out, but sounded good. read more

Such a fun spot! The staff is so friendly and accommodating. I came here for drinks with a couple friends after going to a football game and we all enjoyed it here. We got Pinot white wine so nothing too crazy, but still, our time here was so fun. The bartender was super friendly. He kindly let me charge my phone behind the bar (came in so clutch) and then he taught me and my friends how to play Backgammon. Next thing I know, I'm facing off against the bartender in a game of backgammon and I won. Cheers! read more

There's live jazz daily but it can sometimes be too loud to have a conversation They have Irish coffee The drink I got was so cloyingly sweet I couldn't drink it read more

I'd like to express my utmost gratitude to the place that introduced me to the Baby Guinness shot. Although this is a longstanding neighborhood spot in the East Village, my friends and I only recently discovered it when we were scoping out un-pretentious places to spend New Year's Eve. Both times that we have gone, we have struck up fun conversations with people we would never have met otherwise - whether they be tourists or locals who have been coming here for years. Service is a bit gruff, but in the best way. It honestly adds to the charm. Drinks are reasonably priced for the area, and STRONG. They do not skimp on the alcohol...and we love them for it. I also love that they have live music here, and the volume is reasonable. You can still talk to people quite easily or head to the back if you want to focus on the music. Note for NYE, perhaps we just got insanely lucky since it was rainy, but my friends and I got here around 10 PM and were able to secure a 4-person hightop. There is no cover and you can get a free champagne toast at midnight (although it does get packed around 11 PM and you may or may not get that toast). Coming here hearkens back to pre-pandemic NYC when you'd would just encounter the most random people at a bar with no expectations or need to "look a certain way" to get in. Bring 2-3 friends and make a night of it. As you can tell, I'm a big, big fan! read more

To the young woman working the bar early this evening: I hope you can get some help. Life help. From the moment you asked for my order I could see the glossy in your eyes and the stare. You almost spilled my Bittburger on me but managed to keep it stable. You were stumbling around and I knew what I was seeing. I felt bad. I kept quiet and after about 20 minutes I finished my beer and asked to check out. You tried to charge me $30 for my beer and I mentioned that the beer I ordered was $9. You looked at me and said "you had three beers". The guy next to me and I looked at each other and he chimed in saying what we all knew, I had just sat down and had one beer. You repeated yourself and I repeated myself, I had 1 Bittburger and I'm not paying $30 for it. You then went and served two Guiness to a customer waiting and I watched you dump a guiness on his cell phone that was sitting on the counter. I walked out and didn't pay for my beer because I was not going to argue with you. But I will come back one day and pay for my beer I promise that. Please get yourself checked in somewhere. And to your management: you need to help your staff. They are going to get hurt and you will be sorry when they do. I hate this review so much. Wish I hadn't gone in there in today. read more

Great atmosphere for a drop in and have a few drinks. Service was good and so were the cocktails.

Updating my review (keeping the rating the same) as I've now held a private event in their back room and HIGHLY recommend for any event you're looking for. I had my 26th birthday party here on a Saturday night starting at 8pm for around 25 guests and the space was completely perfect. Very spacious for our group (the room holds 60+ but we had it all to ourselves) with plenty of tables. You're able to bring in your own food, candles, decorations at no fee. We put one card down for a group bar tab and Dan the owner gave everyone in my group wristbands to identify them for the tab. The bartenders were totally awesome. They checked on us throughout the night and we even had a special part of the bar my group could order from so we didn't have to fight any crowd to order a drink. Highly recommend for private events! read more

Had a promo party for the hubs on a lovely Thursday afternoon and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The owner is a great guy and incredibly accommodating. We catered the event (no problems!) and had an open bar from 12-4PM. The bar itself is warm and inviting-- a great combo of pub charm with modern amenities. Now, let's talk about our bartender Connor. WHAT A GEM! He killed it, literally running the bar solo for a bunch of thirsty firemen and friends. He's basically a Navy Seal of bartending. GREAT SPOT for any occasion! read more

Stopped in on a random Wednesday and really loved the vibe, bartender, prices, and snacks. The hot pretzel with mustard is a great quick bite, which accompanied the perfectly poured Guinness very well. It's very relaxed - a band was playing, but not obtrusively loud, and several patrons were reading as they hung out. Great spot to escape for a while. read more

If ai couke give zero stars I would be worse bar ai have ever been to in my life they couldn't even make a simple Paloma and charged me for wanting to change my drink bartenders are extremely rude and the guy told me to leave to another bar if i was upset if i wander enjoying my drink as a bartender myself this place is short and clearly can't make drinks for a place in Manhattan will never be returning here disgusting stuff the bartenders didn't even clean the shakers when making drinks and the guy put his fingers in his asst to pick out a wedgie while making a drink the one in a beard grossssssssss disgusting read more

It's not a good place to come in a car If you're in L.A. then it's too damn far But if you're a Liverpool fan (hope you are) Then your spiritual home is 11th Street Bar! When I come here we win, never taste defeat There isn't a team that we can't beat In the cold of January or the August heat There's nowhere I'd rather be than 11th Street! The home of Liverpool FC in the United States. The only LFC pub comes which comes close to the intensity and electricity of this bar in the whole country is the one in Houston, which used to be the Gael, and of course the one in Toronto. The Detroit one isn't bad, but the true star of the show his right here in New York City. I would rather watch every Liverpool game here if I had the chance. Parking may not be easy but it's well worth it. It's right in the middle of the best neighborhood too. For Sunday games parking is free, thank f**king god because it'll burn holes in your pockets on other days. So 11SB is the heart of Liverpool Football Club in New York City, on the East Coast, and for the whole country, and for big games this place gets packed early and you sometimes have to end up going to the spillover bar around the corner. Nevertheless it's a wonderful place to watch Liverpool games, packed wall-to-wall with Liverpool fans, and since New York is an Irish town, it makes sense that an Irish team would have such a huge following here. I watched Liverpool V Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley not too long ago, while here, and I loved every minute. I didn't mind that I kept running back and forth to the car to check on and feed and milk my cat. Not that I milked the cat. Anyway it was Sammi Puffle. The Stray Cat that I found the night before. So yeah. Definitely my favourite place to watch football in all of Manhattan and all of New York State. I'm glad I was able to post this review at the 11th hour and I look forward to watching my 11th game here soon. When Liverpool win while I'm watching here, I'm in 11th heaven. read more

A bit pricey for an EV bar. Was told this is a true watering hole of the east village and I think the reviews were true. Didn't stay long into the night, but it started to fill in on a Thursday. Would be interesting to see what it turns into a little more lively. Seemed to be an older crowd (30s+) read more

11th Street Bar - Drinks at the bar - Irish Pub Near Me - New York, New York

Cool spot. Bartender made me a fresh lemonade that was clutch. Perfect Guinness pour too. Great neighborhood bar.

Nice bar with a nice casual vibe with good staff that's pretty attentive even with our big group. Drinks are fine and the outside area was a nice place to hang during a very pleasant evening. Clean bathrooms are a plus. The only thing was that the food was pretty meh. Let's just say this isn't the kind of bar you go to grab some real grub. The pretzel was meh and the grilled cheese was pretty gross tbh. But there are plenty of restaurants nearby to satiate your hunger and if you're looking for a decent place with a good vibe and solid drinks, this is a fine choice in the area. read more

Top notch bar. There was only one bartender working at 6pm on a weekday, but she did a great job. Excellent outdoor area and really nice vibe. read more

Nice laid back neighborhood pub with a good selection of beers. The bartenders were quick to serve and they had the games on in the background. read more

Went here last night to watch the basketball game with a few friends. We had multiple tabs going on and one friend bought 3 shots and then didn't tip when the bartender. She watched as my friend selected "No Tip" and then she proceeded to say "you're really not gonna tip me? You're getting bad karma." Look, i believe in always tipping your bartender but i also understand sometimes people don't have the means or don't feel the need. This bartender didn't seem to know that tips are a courtesy and not a requirement! She was arrogant and rude and made the whole group feel awkward ( including those of us who had spent over $100 and had tipped her) so we left and took our business elsewhere. Sales 101: loyal clients = tips. We were planning to spend the rest of our night there and finish the game (probably spend another $100) but her rude behavior ensured the bar lost that revenue. Whoever's running this place, please know she's the reason ur loosing clientele read more

Fantastic spot for a pint of Guinness with friends. Great staff. Limited food but the toasties are tasty. Particularly lovely in fall/winter. read more

Maybe my favorite bar in NYC. Great vibe, friendly bartenders, actually know how to pour a proper Guinness. Try the Night Owl; great cocktails. read more

This is such a great neighborhood bar! I love the live music and the service staff is the best. The Thomas G. Waites Project was off the charts on 7/5, another great show. Saw The Brothers Yee last week and they were terrific. I love the vibe here! Many more nights of awesome entertainment to come! read more

I hear this is a hopping place on -any- game day! As tourists in Times Square we met a new friend who suggested we visit this bar. So on a Sunday - late afternoon - we did! Even as quiet as it was - it made such a good impression on us. You can just tell this is a special place. The regulars who were there were all friendly to us strangers. To walk in and see such a beautiful well kept place is an immediate plus! You don't come for the food - because while the grilled cheese is very good - it's about all they have and the only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars. I was offered a Guinness... because you know... it's an Irish Pub that roots for Liverpool! The look on my face must have told them "start slow" on the Guinness. "Black Velvet" was ordered - a mix of Guinness and hard cider.... Maybe everyone knows this but me - but I'm hooked. And what a beautiful drink! While we didn't get to experience a Liverpool game, or the bands - it's just a reason to return another time. If I could live anywhere I'd like to live in the East Village and be able to walk in to this bar anytime and feel at home. It's just the perfect place! read more

11th street bar is the best!! The bouncer that's here on weekends is such a good guy. This place always has a great selection of beers and they make a decent cocktail. They have live music pretty often and always post their upcoming events on instagram. The outdoor space is one of the best spots to hang out at when it's nice out. They have 2 bathrooms which is a bonus too - def check it out! read more

Probably 3.5 stars. Ambiance: Smallish English-style bar, clean and cosy. I went there because it is the place for the NY Liverpool Fan Club and there was a game on. So it was packed, but that was early in the AM, and you'd be unlikely to have that crowd unless you are a morning drinker. Service: Friendly and fast. nice people. Food: Non-existent. But on the bright side, they will let you bring in your own food to eat, so if you know this going in, it can work for you (i.e. you don't like the usually mediocre bar fare). Drink: Good selection of beers, and this is pretty much what this is - a beer pub. The coffee is from a Nespresso machine (which, again, they fully admit up front), and the mixed drinks are ordinary. If you're a LFC fan, definitely worth a visit, but otherwise, it's good if you're in the area, but not worth a trip out of your way. IMPORTANT WORD of CAUTION: Make sure you don't confuse this place with 11th St CAFE! read more

Absolutely unacceptable. this bar would have been so fun to be at with my friends, good music, good times, but just one thing ... THEY DENIED ME WATER?!? I'm pretty sure that's illegal? I even offered to pay them for the tap water and they said no, not unless I bought a drink. What if I was sober and alcohol free? What if I was pregnant? What if I was way too drunk and couldn't have anymore alcohol and wanted to sober up? Completely rude and disgusting. Don't go here. read more

11th Street Bar - Irish Pub Near Me - New York, New York

Terrible service - bartender was under the influence (twitchy, blood shot eyes). She handed me a Guinness's saying it's free if I wanted it, of course I took it. When it came time to pay the bill she not only charged for it, but was extremely rude when I asked why she was charging for it when she said it was free and ripped the card out of my friends hand. I would not have drank the Guinness if I had known! Do not recommend this place. read more

Best Guinness in nyc, not too crowded either. Come for soccer games on a Sunday morning

I can't recommend this place enough. 11th Street is a nice bar that is also...normal? When you come here they have nice cocktails and a lovely bunch of rotating taps. The Sunday night Irish session by Tony Demarco is usually what brings me in. It's like stepping back in time. Tony makes the fiddle sing and Kenny slings drinks, and I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday. read more

Used to be a great bar. The new owner and regular longtime bartender are the reason I don't go back. Overtly racist and hostile .even menacing to me, as a black female patron. I brought my grievance to the owner. He said the bar tender denied nearly denying me service with his nastiness and open hostility. They won't get another penny from me. read more

Great bar for Liverpool fans! Wonderful community vibe. Bartenders are so nice and service is good! GO REDS! read more

I'm a foreigner new to this city, studying at columbia university. I have hearing problems. I went into this bar on 29th july, and the bartender was incredibly rude. I could not read the menu, and he mocked me for it. I tried to get another drink later and had been waiting patiently for a while - all i did was raise my hand - and he acted as if I had been incredibly aggressive 'I can see you buddy alright?!' I then requested the same thing as before, and he said 'you dont need to shout, im right here'... i could barely hear anything over the music, let alone myself. I apologized, and said he must have better hearing than me. 'Go someplace else buddy' was what he said in reply. I had done nothing wrong, and had been told to leave for my disabilities. Some introduction to this city. I do not recommend this bar to people who have similar problems. read more

This bar is great for a chill night. I has pub vibes and there's a back section where you can sit at tables and there is a piano player during the day. The drinks are fairly cheap for nyc and the bartenders were very nice. My friend wanted a cider but didn't know what to get and the bartender recommended one for her based on what she likes. Definitely recommend! read more

Not a bad choice when you are in this area of the city, but I would not recommend you come out of your way to drink here. A very cozy brick walled pub with a giant Guinness sign (which is always nice to see). Was here on a weekend night and the place was not packed at all. They hold poetry readings every Monday night and live Irish music every Sunday night. read more
