Bartley Dunnes! The employees here showed us love and a great time! My cousin and I came here after a small concert up the street. Thanks to my fellow Yelpers, I was lead to this great spot for a late dinner and cocktails on a Friday night. The hostess was really friendly and quicky sat us at a two seater near the bar, which we appreciated. The ambiance was light and friendly and they even had a DJ playing all the good jams! I think I danced a bit, (definitely liquid courage). The DJ read the room and created a fun ambiance. The waitress came over a few minutes later and quickly took our drink and meal order. We ordered the Tuna Crispy Rice ( Yum), Guinness Wager Sliders (Nom Nom), Korean Chicken Boas (My Favorite!) and Carnitas Tacos.....I'm embarrassed to admit that we cleaned our plates like a couple of savages. Bartley Dunnes is a great choice to come solo, meet up with friends or come as a group of no more than 4, unless you make a reservation. They have a second floor that I unfortunately didn't get a chance to check out, so I can't write about that. However, I did see people coming and going straight up. I'll be back! read more

Stopped by Bartley Dunnes for a few happy hour drinks before heading to Museum of Modern Art for an event. They have a great happy hour running from open until 8 PM, including $6 beers and $8 cocktails, which is a great deal for the area. ordered the Bartleys Spritz (Aperol Spritz) and a Tequila Mule. We sat at the bar, which runs about half the length of the space, and there were also plenty of tables throughout. The back section of the bar feels a bit separated from the main entrance area. There are some TVs throughout, and everything inside seemed fairly new and well maintained. It was not very crowded on a Tuesday early evening, so service was quick and the staff was very friendly. We did not order food this time, but everything coming out of the kitchen looked and smelled great. Overall, I would definitely recommend this spot for happy hour drinks in the MoMA/Midtown West area. read more

Came here for Cinco de Mayo, easily made same-day reservation. Arrived 1.5 hrs early and sat at the bar while waiting for the rest of my party. The ambiance and service were amazing. The host was very kind and the bartender who had taken our order at the bar quickly noticed the waiter had given us the wrong fries at first and got us the correct item. The tacos were better than expected. I loved the blackened shrimp tacos! I'd also recommend Only Fans (pornstar martini) read more

I loved this place! I made a reservation because they have bottomless brunch, ended up not needing it but I like to be prepared. We showed up right when they opened and were the only people there for a while. Our waitress was so nice and pleasant. The drinks were tasty and served in a timely fashion. Price was very reasonable and the food was yummy. The portion size was good. I would certainly visit here again. read more

Came here with a group of 8 people, had reservations and everything worked out nicely. The atmosphere is awesome, especially with the holiday decor. I enjoyed the Only Fans martini and fries happy meal for $15. We also order sliders, Parmesan garlic fries, and chicken tenders. Chicken is would pass on but everything else was good. The reason I had to take away a star was the service. The waitress was extremely dismissive. We had to ask to order and even when we did she would only let one order before turning her back and walking away. Would come back for drinks and apps, but the service staff was deterring for me. Accessibility: poor wheelchair accessibility. Bathrooms and aisles are very narrow. read more

Not every bar knows how to make a good espresso martini, but this place actually nails it!!! From the outside it looks like a pub, and honestly inside it still gives pub vibes, but the drinks are way better than you'd expect. I started with the OnlyFans martini. It's not too sweet, a little different, and I actually loved it. The espresso martini was surprisingly really good too. And they've got a little "speakeasy" upstairs IYKYK. I'd definitely come back for a girl dinner or brunch. Solid spot and worth coming back! read more

I am incredibly disappointed to write this review. Last year, I spent a week hanging out at this establishment while in town for a conference. I became a regular occupant, got to know the owner, and was treated beautifully. Because of that great experience, I highly encouraged my young daughter to visit while she was in NYC, (9/10/2026) expecting her to receive the same warm hospitality. Instead, she was treated awfully. It is deeply upsetting to see a place I championed treat a guest so poorly, especially after establishing such a great rapport with management in the past. I expected much better from a spot I encouraged her to check out. read more

Made a reservation for Friday around 7 but ended up sitting at the bar when I arrived super early. Good happy hour until 8pm. Dimly lit but still an inviting space. The bartender was friendly and attentive. My favorite drink was the red beret. So delicious and well balanced. Lots of seating and tvs available. I did get some food, the chicken roll. It was ok, I wouldn't get it again. Too much bread and not enough chicken. But their fries were delicious! read more

Went to Bartley Dunnes in NYC for brunch and tried the breakfast tots and the chimichurri steak and eggs. The food was okay -- not bad, but not the best either. The breakfast tots and the steak and eggs were decent, but the food alone probably wouldn't be the reason I'd come back. What really makes this place stand out is the atmosphere. Upstairs is super cute -- very pink, pretty, and girly. When I went it was a disco brunch and there was a singer performing who let guests request songs and even sing along, which made the whole experience really fun. The drinks were really, really good, and the service was great as well. Overall the vibe, atmosphere, and drinks are what make this place worth visiting. If you're looking for a fun brunch experience with good music and a great vibe, this is definitely a spot to check out. read more

Bartley Dunne's has officially become our "default brunch spot when no one wants to make decisions" place. It's close by, consistently good, and has saved us from many a hunger-fueled meltdown. The staff is always super attentive--like, the kind of attentive where they appear right when you're thinking about needing something. It does get busy, but honestly that just confirms we're not the only ones who love it. Food-wise, they're undefeated. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and hits the spot every time. On my last visit, I had the kale salad with grilled chicken and genuinely had a moment. I wasn't expecting to get emotional over a salad, but here we are. It was that good. If you want a solid brunch with great service, dependable food, and a lively atmosphere, Bartley Dunne's is absolutely worth it. Just be ready for a crowd--it's popular for a reason. read more

We came here for happy hour - the staff was great and provided great service. We wanted to experience happy hour on both floors (there's a speakeasy upstairs) and the bartender downstairs was kind enough to transfer our bill upstairs. We also wanted to try a happy hour drink we saw downstairs at the upstairs bar, but it wasn't on the menu. The bartender upstairs was kind enough to still make it for us. Now on to the happy hour experience - tasty drinks (we got the aperol spritz and the tequila mule), pretty good HH prices, and cute vibes. The upstairs bar + Photo Booth was so fun! Exactly what we were looking for on a Friday afternoon. read more

Bartley Dunnes is a great bar with a solid HH, at the very least on both Mondays and Tuesdays. My friend and I went on a Tuesday and obviously partook in their tacos- they were quite good & definitely a more than adequate amount of protein given. I ordered my classic go-to- a rum & coke (I know so basic) & I'll be honest I didn't exactly taste the rum in it. My friend & I also got the nachos to share which were great, a lot of cheese given can't complain about that :). The MLB game was also playing which was nice if you like sports for a lack of better terms haha. I'd go back for HH & in general. read more

We needed to kill some extra time so we popped in for a drink and appetizer. It was about 3pm on a Wednesday. They weren't super busy, but there was only one person working the bar/front room from what we could tell. The sign said "wait to be seated" so we awkwardly stood at the door for over 5 minutes, unacknowledged. When the single server/bartender finally acknowledged us he took us to our seat and then proceeded to give us great service. We ordered Aperol Spritzes and sweat potato fries (though I was eager to try the truffle fries). Both were delicious and hit the spot to hold us over before dinner. In summary, if you are a decent person who can be patient when places may be understaffed or are experiencing a rush, then Bartley's will definitely deliver for you when it's your time to be served. read more

I have to give a shout out to Archie. One of the best bartenders I have interacted with. He hails from Ireland and knows how to make a perfect drink every time. If you are looking for a good Guinness or a freshly made cocktail, this is the place for you. The ambiance here is amazing with good vibes that every old soul will enjoy (and anyone else with a good taste in music). This place is perfect for after work drinks or just a nice night to yourself. There is no such thing as a bad time here (unless you are bringing negativity in... good luck with that one). I love this place. read more

Had a reservation booked for a table on a Friday night. Wasn't able to get into the speakeasy but the server was kind enough to let us check it out and take a peek upstairs. Service was a bit slow and we had to wave our waiter down but she was friendly and nice. This is the first time I've ever seen anywhere serve an Irish spicy box so we had to try! Definitely an interesting flavor and combination. The wings were dry rub and also had an interesting flavor too...dry jerk and spicy bbq? Not spicy at all and the jerk did not taste authentic. Drinks were a hit though and the espresso martini had a nice touch of chocolate powder over it. Still a cute holiday bar to attend although the music was a bit low and kinda dead inside, no one was really dancing. But it was cute. The vibes fully weren't there but the aesthetics were read more

First of all the staff could not be friendlier, the vibe could not be better, great music at the perfect noise level and a kitchen putting out some very above average pub fare the burger was super and the fries perfect a couple of pints and and an afternoon of NFL you're missing out if you haven't been to B.D. Looks like a great craft cocktail list as well !! And not over crowded on an NFL Sunday which was wonderful read more

Place was just okay, nothing great. Food was average. Service was marginal at best. Olivia was our waitress and vacillated between being attentive and ignoring us. Ambiance was the same as every other Pub (which there are plenty others nearby). read more

My 5 stars is for their Irish Spice Box alone - it's so flavorful and the added Irish Curry is chefs kiss. If that's not enough, they pour a good Guinness ($10). For the most part that's about all I've had here, but I've been on two or three occasions now. If the spice box (crispy chicken, peppers, onions, curry, fries, and aioli) was a little lower in price ($23), I'd be here a lot more often. The good thing is it's a decent size so you can split it into two meals. And if you're nice, they might give you some extra Irish Curry to take home - that stuff is gold. They have a pretty good sized menu but I can't say that I've tried anything else because once I find something I like, I get it over and over, especially when it's been a good amount of time since the last visit. Which reminds me, it's been a minute so I'm thinking I need to change that soon because I need another spice box. read more

This was my first NYC food experience. To be honest, I wasn't super impressed, however the food was good don't get me wrong. In my opinion, it didn't give me that WOW factor. It was such a fun, lively vibe that makes it worth a visit. The drinks were excellent, easily a highlight of the night, and the mac croquettes were incredible (definitely a must-order). The burgers were solid, though not quite at the top-tier level you can find elsewhere in NYC. Service was friendly with good recommendations, but a bit on the slower side. Overall, a great spot for drinks, snacks, and atmosphere, with room to tighten up on service. read more

Food, service and atmosphere were amazing. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the owner, I believe. A true Irishman. This was a classic pub, with the homey feel of one. Everything was picture perfect and they had Irish music playing to top it off. The food was superb. We got the hanger steak and fries with the fried Mac and cheese. read more

We met up with a group for dinner here before a show, and this was their suggestion. It was packed to the brim on a Thursday night, so I'm glad we had made a reservation! Bartley Dunnes has some pretty cool vibes. Very funky, posh and musically-themed. It is very dim-lit and offers a pretty large variety of food options. Their drinks, while insanely priced, are soo good! I had the Only Fans cocktail and loved it so much that I had to get a second. For my meal I ordered the hot honey chicken sandwich and really enjoyed it. The service wasn't exactly friendly but she was always around when we needed her... especially when we realized that we mixed up the time for our show and had 10 minutes to pay and run to the theater. This is a cool spot to check out, and made for a great pre-dinner show as it is right by the theater district. read more

Unfortunately the food was mediocre at best. Hard waffle, bad scrambled eggs. The sourdough was good and the potatoes were also fine. Service was really fast and the waitress was lovely! read more

Great bar for fabulous service, delicious appetizers, especially the chicken wings, and tasty cocktails. The Only Fans, the Old Fashion, Easy Lover (basically a spicy margarita), and Salt Bae Cafe. If you don't mind loud disco music, this is an easygoing place to have a few drinks and appetizers. read more

BD was right around the corner from my hotel and I was hungry. Why not stop in? Very happy that I did. The bar was packed with pre-holiday celebrations but I was able to secure a spot at the bar. Even though the place was packed, the bartender was quick with a menu and a beer. The menu consists of your typical pub fare and when I asked for recommendations, he offered up the Irish Spice Box as a suggestion. He sounded confident so I went for it and was very happy. Imagine crispy chicken, peppers, onions, curry (more British than Indian), fries and aioli all nestled into a box. It was absolutely delicious and addicting. The chicken was perfectly fried and the flavors melded perfectly. It is a must try. A great stop if you are in the area. read more

Visited here on a Sunday for brunch around 12pm (had reservations) and it was a great experience. Surprisingly not many people. Our table really enjoyed the brunch pizza, so unique and flavorful. The egg Benedict with potatoes and crab cakes were good as well. A lot of food so you will be stuffed leaving. The drinks were awesome and the bartender even freestyled a couple of mocktails for our tables which were the highlight of our trip. The music was good, diverse and they definitely play to the crowd. Not too loud but enough to sing a long randomly in the middle of your conversation. Waitresses were awesome and super kind! On my list to visit again when I return to NY! read more

I came here for a Sunday brunch with my friend and this place just presses all the right buttons when it comes to an American spot. The nachos were well balanced with the chili and gave us 2 sunny side eggs upon request. The fries were very crispy and salted well. And the chicken & waffles were a well balanced of sweet and fruity. The grilled cheese bites had one of the better cheese strings I've seen in a long time and the soup dip made it so delicious! And this place was already decorated well for the Christmas season while having some football on the TV screens. I don't think this place is extraordinary but I still gave it 5 stars because they are really really good at what they are advertised to do. read more

Was very happy to stumble upon this place on Yelp when I was looking for a place for brunch one Sunday. The fact that it's across the street from my apartment made it even better. This location has an odd history...when I first moved into the neighborhood it was Oldcastle, and there was a little turret outside and they had amazing buffalo chicken sliders. Then that closed and it became Copper John's, and that was just so-so. Fast forward to 2023 and I re-discover this place and it's definitely the cream of the crop! We came early on a Sunday and it was not crowded, although it filled up by the time we left. We started with cocktails and they were universally amazing. Kudos to the bartenders. I had a rye old fashioned, which was perfect. My husband had More than a Teeling and Raspberry Beret. Both were great. Our friend had an Only Fans. Everyone raved about the drinks so put this place in your rotation for cocktails ASAP. The food was also great. I had a southern chicken sandwich...now, having survived four years living in Alabama, I have struggled to find truly Southern food here in NYC. I would not say the sandwich reminded me of Tuscaloosa but what I will say is that it's one of the best chicken sandwiches I ever had. It was cooked perfectly with crisp breading and it had a deep, almost smoky flavor that was incredible. Even though I was full, I had an Oreo cheesecake for dessert which was also outstanding. Service matched the terrific food, with everyone being friendly and efficient. The playlist was great, too, with a good mix of older funk and R&B mixed with some newer stuff. Maybe it was a hair too loud when the place was empty but that's a minor complaint from an old crank. You could walk by this place and not even know it was there, so I encourage you to stop and check it out. You don't want to miss it. read more

I reserved Girl Dinner (bottomless with 2 tapas per person) for my birthday for a group of 9 1-2 weeks beforehand, which was easy. They allowed us to sit before everyone got there. The rules for bottomless are that everyone in the group has to do it. It's 90 minutes and everyone must end at the same time. A person can only have 1 drink at a time. We were seated upstairs and the bathroom was nearby but there was only 1 stall. Christmas decor was up and pretty. The tapas were cheese heavy, but they tasted good. Fries were very crunchy. The truffle Mac and cheese croquettes and bang bang shrimp were delicious. With our big group we got to try a lot and shared. They were filling. The tables are a bit small so we tried to proactively clear plates. All the drinks were also sweet, fruity, and tasty. I mostly got the Gin Bramble. We got two free shots as well. Big thanks to our server and the staff for handling our big group. read more

My friend went to celebrate our new jobs so this Cute lil pub with an upstairs that has a bar and stools we made reservations for on Opentable . They have a 90 min girls dinner where you pick 2 tapas and you get a selection of 4-5 mixers. The choices of the tapas are subpar but not much expected from a bar. I had margarita and some drink called peach something lol. Where the bartender does this cute fire trick to it the drinks could've used more alcohol but otherwise ok! disclaimer: it is loud so don't thinking you're about to have a romantic conversation.

It was fine, not the best and not bad, but the banana bread is literally the one thing I'd come back for. It has a caramel whiskey sauce and is slightly gooey in the middle. It's a bit pricey for what it's ($20), but it's a large shareable portion, so it works out. Delicious! read more
