Always consistent and good food. Service is always pleasant and personable. Atmosphere is low key and comfortable. Has a great bar following. Take out/pick up available.. read more

Ordered pork chop, ravioli , and unfortunately, two orders of wings. The pork chop was ok, somewhat dry, but it had good flavor. Ravioli was very good, no complaints. The wings were awful... they're the already cooked blobs of breading and fat that places without deep fryers sell. Complete garbage, they should be embarrassed serving this type of food. read more

Blarney Castle - heat and serve wings - gross - Dive Bars Near Me - Breezy Point, New York

The Blarney Castle re-opened about a month ago under new owners and a new chef. So ignore all previous reviews from that time. The place has been re-done but the "historic" fish remains. Sound suppressors have been installed and they help temper the noise. The limited wine list is well priced but unfortunately they were out of one of the two chardonnays (Bonanza) on the list. I ordered the other Chardonnay which was double the cost of the Bonanza (but still fairly priced for the quality) and it did not come out for 15 minutes. I alerted the waitress who stated that she was getting ice for it. The wine finally came with two chilled wine glasses (wrong) and it was warm. Strike two on the wine. Someone is not checking inventory. We got there as it opened at five. No excuse for not having a listed wine and then serving a warm $65 dollar bottle. Each plate of food was delivered in a staggered delivery about five to ten minutes apart. Food should come out at the same time to all customers. That's probably on the chef with the mercurial temperament. That being said; the food was very good. The chef can really cook but get there soon because he might not be there long. Four televisions the dining room is unnecessary and very distracting. Turn them off during service. I plan on going back for the good food but will bring my own wine. I got three different answers when I asked about a corkage fee; so I don't know what the corkage fee is. The owners are new and need time to adjust to the place. I see the place improving as the kinks are worked out. read more

With the renovation, the place looks better BUT it is EXTREMELY LOUD. They added some sound absorbing pads but they don't help. I dined with my family and could not even hear the person across the table from me. One needs to yell in order to be heard. Owners need to do something about it. I don't understand why a restaurant puts TVs in the dining room. It is totally unnecessary. It's a distraction. Turn TVs off when serving food. The food was good but the meals were not served at the same time. Not a dining experience due to the noise! read more

Solid food offerings in an unpretentious local pub style restaurant. Great dinner specials nightly but get there early because they sell them out quickly. read more

Everything about this place is worth 5 stars. Unbelievable atmosphere, service, food, prices, etc. Truly a staple of Breezy, and countless families here. Will be surely missed! read more

Smallest portion I've ever seen! I could count the penne pasta in my order! 4 skinny slices of sausage. Called them and was told to simply not patronize anymore. All of course after they took $40 for two small orders 2 half empty side salads and a chunk of stale bread. Shameful! I guess if you're new or they don't recognize your name- you get what you get! read more

Ambience is old school bar/restaurant but don't be fooled. The food is always good and the service friendly. I always recommend the fish dishes and the beer is cold and fresh. Relatively inexpensive too. Not a first date spot, but more of a "we are comfortable with each other" dinner spot, when you are past the "trying to impress" stage. read more

I have been to the Blarney hundreds of times. It never fails to disappoint. My personal favorite is getting a nice and hot Chicken parm with a Coors Light to wash it down, for dessert I end off with a Green tea shot and a Mint chip shot. It is always active with lively people from the neighborhood which just adds to the richness of the Blarney. Walkin in there just makes me feel warm, and I know ill always have a spot on a bar stool with Uncle Tommy read more

The absolutely best fried soft shell crabs I've ever had. Live in Florida all winter and have never had any crabs as big and meaty as Bobby makes in the Blarney! read more

Listen, when I think of home, I think of the Blarney. There's nothing better than driving straight up to the Blarney, grabbing a few rounds with the fellas, and then driving home. The chicken parm is the greatest I've ever had (compliments to the chef!). Personally, having the chicken parm and a few mint chip shots is enough to turn my day from complete and utter misery, like usual, to a day full of happiness. Walking in and seeing the warm, welcoming, face of Uncle Tommy lets me leave my depression at the door until it comes back when I leave. I will never forget the countless days and nights I have spent kicking Coors Lights back at the Blarney. I love that other bartender, whose name I can't recall, but man does he have a rockin' stache. read more

Have been going here over 40 years. Never had a bad meal,Never!! While the place itself could use an update I can honestly say that wherever you're from the staff will make you feel right at home. Highly recommend read more

It is a dive bar located in Breezy Point, NY. It was a fully stocked bar and great cold a/c on those hot summer days. Used by locals and summer visitors to this beach coop community, it also host a restaurant (Which I have never tried) and has all sports games on for your entertainment. Can get busy on weekend nights. Check it out if you are in the area...but if not...you are not missing anything special. read more

Great local restaurant , never disappoints. Waitstaff are smart and professional, they always seem to know my Father wants the scallops and string beans! I had the branzino and it was cooked perfectly. This is so worth the trip . read more

We like this local place. Server's are always friendly. A small menu, priced right, well portioned and cook to perfection. You're probably not going to take home leftovers, but you'll be happy and full. read more

Let's set the record straight here - none of the individuals below have the credibility required to appropriately review this establishment. The Blarney Castle is a Breezy Point institution and historical landmark that I surmise makes more money per square foot than any "Tapas Bar" or other pathetic hipster trap that Julie G. and Theresa Grillo L. regularly patronize. In fact, I would be willing to bet my unborn child's life on it. Now to the good stuff. Do not come to the Blarney expecting Wolfgang Puck's finest work. It's a good old fashioned tavern where some dude who looks like your great uncle Milton churns out 175 dinners a night from a 4' x 8' kitchen. I have never come home from a meal at the Blarney clamoring to call Zagat, but the basic menu items are pretty solid. Prime Rib, mashed potatoes, and a vegetable - it is your average household spread. No luck if you are looking for pinapple-acai seared southwestern Turkish flounder, as I am sure this joke of a human being Theresa was. On top of all that, the price is right. A few beers and that particular night's meat-and-potatoes special will probably run you and a pal $30 each, with tip. The Blarney is also endeared for its dance floor, which becomes available on Friday and Saturday nights in the summer months. An eclectic mix is spun by local disc jockey Brian Leafy as droves of 20-somethings clamor in to boogie on assorted restaurant furniture. If you are in town for a weekend or just the night, this is where you want to park yourself around 1 a.m. NOTE: avoid the men's bathroom or anyone affectionately known as a "cowboy". read more

Dive Central. I've been here twice and I can say with great certainty that this place is totally run down and could use a major makeover (as in renovations/updates). The silverware and napkins they use look like they haven't been updated since 1980 and they probably haven't. I can't even go into detail about the decor because there really isn't even a point. The food is surprisingly pretty good though. At night this place turns into an underage to early 20s drinking haven with terrible top 40 music blasting so loud you can't even think. read more
