Always a good time! I've been here several times and always have a blast. Always meet the most random people. Good and drinks are great. Lots of options. Clean bathrooms. Cute space. Great location. Easy and central to meet friends from around the city read more

Walked into Blooms Tavern like I was about to write my own version of Ulysses... but let's be real, I was only there for the food and the fire. Midtown East doesn't usually hand you a pub with a legit working fireplace, but this place does. Cozy, classic, and a little dangerous for guys like me who like a good pint with their burger. Ordered the turkey burger with fries--and man, it was great. No nonsense, no fluff. Just a burger so good it almost made me feel poetic. Almost. Cheers to James Joyce for the inspiration, but tonight Leopold Bloom's got nothing on me. #bloomstavern #midtowneast #nycpubs #irishpub #jamesjoyce #ulysses #turkeyburger #pubfood #nyceats #foodienyc #nycfoodie #fireplacevibes #goodtimes read more

My employer held a private Christmas lunch for its employees here at Bloom's Tavern. A quaint bar/restaurant that served some pretty tasty party platters!

Stumbled upon this place after leaving Central Park, and I'm glad I did. They have indoor and outdoor tables. They have a bottomless brunch for $25 which includes mimosa, strawberry froze, margarita, beer, and more. For entree I got a burger, which was cooked very well, and came with fries. My friend got chicken and French toast, which they also enjoyed. I would definitely come here for brunch again. read more

One of the best services I have encountered for an NYC bar. The people are simply delightful. It is also pretty easy to reserve a space for a weekday. The food is standard gastropub. I do wish there was a more creative menu, but it is solid otherwise. Another thing that makes this place exciting is that they do have a 2nd floor with amazing views. read more

A great local Irish pub with food, beer and tv's - solid spot in the Midtown East area to grab a Guinness while watching a game! There have been times where this bar is a bit busy with a rowdy crowd and others where it's been only a few customers. The food is decent but more attention from the servers would be appreciated; I tried to get hot sauce with my nachos but no one ever came around and my water glass remained empty until we finally got the bill. Overall great spot to chill! read more

I'm a repeat customer at this Irish pub. Drinks are always good, food is good, always tables available. Service is fast and everyone is nice. Even offered to switch out my friend's drink after she didn't really like it. It has the pub feel and it's exactly what you're looking for. read more

If you know anything about James Joyce, you will enjoy this pub! It is dedicated to Joyce, the famed Irish novelist and poet, and named after the protagonist in his book, "Ulysses." It was very crowded when we went due to March Madness so that made for a lively ambiance. My husband was especially happy that he could catch the games! There was one empty seat at the bar where my husband had me sit. The bartender then asked people down the bar to move over so that my husband could sit next to me! Really nice of him! We ended up getting a couple IPAs and food to share. The Tuna Steak Wrap was surprisingly delicious! There was a generous amount of medium rare tuna served with lettuce and tomato in a flour tortilla with wasabi mayo. We also shared the broccoli soup of the day. read more

Just far enough outside the mid-town tourist radius. Classic, upscale pub with a REAL fireplace ! Excellent Guiness pours, very clean inside, & very friendly & attentive service. Navigating the stairwell to the basement-level bathrooms helps keep a check on your sobriety, or lack thereof. AWESOME food, hitting all the right notes - fresh Caesar salads, perfectly-prepared buffalo wings, & my fav - risotto! This place is not in the path of my regular travels, but will def be back when I'm in the area. Also, the owner is very hands on & engaged with the place, & obviously takes great pride in his business & keeping his customers happy. read more

The service was unbelievable- as soon as we stepped in we were treated royally - our server was warm and friendly - and she was busy yet never let that change her attitude. The bartender came from the bar to check on us and say hello and asked if we needed refills. The food runner had a smile and was so polite. The food was GREAT and the beer selection was great. The tavern is really nice!- this is our type of place that is perfect for me, my wife and family friendly. We walked all day and sitting in this welcoming environment with no pressure of leaving was so incredible. We asked our server about getting to Roosevelt Island and she made sure to let us know when it stopped running and then helped us with directions on the best way to get back to our hotel in Tribeca. Bloom was one of the highlights of our NYC Easter visit. Thank you all!!! read more

Came here for brunch on a Saturday and it was absolutely amazing! Casual atmosphere. Perfect place if you're looking for a delicious spot with bottomless mimosas AND a plethora of TVs to catch any sporting event. I ordered the baked vegetable frittata (which was amazingg), it came with home fries that were crispy and cooked to perfection. Service was spectacular, there was never a time where my glass was empty without another drink on the way. 10 out of 10 would recommend!! Note: The champagne to OJ ratio in the mimosas was absolutely perfect. read more

A solid low key bar with decent food This place has two bars. One upstairs and one on the main level. When I sat down at the bar I was warmly greeted by the bartender Liam. After he poured me a drink he went out of his way to give a proper introduction. Getting a bartenders name without having to ask is rare and much appreciated. The Guinness was decent. Poured properly, proper amount of head and temperature. The nitrogen level tasted a bit off and had a bit of a bitter taste. They said they were checking on the nitrogen level but they never came back with an answer. The answer the bartender got was that they just changed the keg (which is not an actual answer). I would rate the Guinness a 4/5. Bartender's ability to pour a perfect Guinness is a 5/5. The Corned Beef Reuben was very good. The corned beef was very lean and it tasted great. All it was missing was a bit of Mayo and it would have been amazing. Would definitely recommend trying it. Warning - Their beer menu does not give the price because it varies depending on what you get. I wasn't too happy about their prices not being displayed on the menu. Make sure to ask if you are not looking to be surprised later on in the night. Overall a 4/5 The food and drinks were good. The atmosphere is on the darker side Service was solid. read more

4 stars for the food and 2 stars for the service. The food here is really good if you go with what they are known for - the fish and chips and the irish breakfast. The fish was cooked perfectly and struck a balance between the meat and the fried batter. It was also a bit larger than the typical fish pieces you get from other similar bars in the neighborhood (and trust me - I've tried a lot of fish and chips in my time). The irish breakfast was also delicious although a bit more standard / typical to what you'd expect. The ambiance was nice too but was ruined by the service and poor attentiveness. I was seated outside and the employee watering the plants sprayed onto my table and drink not once but TWICE. I have no idea why they'd water the plants when a customer is seated right in the SPLASH zone. I told the employee that I needed to get a new glass of water but he didn't seem to understand so he grabbed the waitress who proceeded to be clueless as to what had happened. It was quite annoying having to explain again that the hose water had gone into my glass of water. We had to switch tables after that since it was soaked. read more

Few things in life are as reliable (or as good) as Bloom's Tavern and its great service and atmosphere. A big thanks to Noel Donovan, the general manager/owner and his team for a night of lovely drinks, food and hospitality as we celebrated a milestone birthday. There were a lot of moving parts, including 70 guests and a band, but Noel took care of the logistics so we could focus on the party. Thank you, Bloom's! read more

Came for lunch around 12:30 and the place was empty so our server was very attentive. Two of us just split the wings with loaded tots. The flavor on the wings was good but too subtle. The crisp on the outside was great, I hate a soggy wing. The tots were also good, who doesn't love cheese and bacon on their tots. For what we got I think it was overpriced. read more

Review of delivery order. Well done on the Shepherd's Pie is all I've to say really, well done and quick as you'd like.

This place is busy and is full of the professionals working around the neighborhood. The bartender was from Ireland? Australia? I couldn't really make out her accent. She gave 95% of her attention to the male patrons. Not hating, just stating the fact. I ordered a margarita... I would think that margaritas are standards for bartenders.the margarita was strong, but tasted like dirt. I managed three sips. How do bartenders not know how to make margaritas. I was in the mood for spinach dip. I placed it and it arrived quickly with warm pita bread. The spinach dip wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either, it had a weird after taste. The bartender barely checked or acknowledged me. Will never go back there again. read more

We walked in at 10:30pm on Sunday and just wanted to get a drink at the bar (my husband and I). It said open until 2am. The bartender said "we are closing". A guy walked in shortly behind us, sat at the bar, and ordered a drink. My husband went to the bartender and said we just wanted a drink. He said I can get you a quick one, but no, instead we left. We jokingly said "tourist discrimination", but it was pretty random that we couldn't get a get drink! read more

Drinks and service were a 5/5, but I would say food was a 3.5/5. We did the bloomburger and the pepperoni flatbread, both were so loaded with goat cheese it overpowered the flavors. The portions were super generous though! read more

Great place! Extremely clean and well run. Super great staff! All around must go in midtown for lunch or even at night

For my first (and last) visit to this establishment, I must say I was unimpressed with the level of service received. As an establishment boasting it's midtown east location and pricing, I had higher expectations. A coworker and I ducked in for a quick lunch. It has a dark interior with low lighting. When we entered we asked the hostess if we could sit at the bar and she politely agreed. We sat at the bar and the bartender greeted us. We each had one drink and we shared two appetizers. The food was kind of crappy. We had a margarita pizza that tasted like a frozen Totino's (IYKYK). The artichoke dip tasted like creamed spinach from a cheap steakhouse and was served with pita bread. Not the best choice of bread but we managed. Food was not even photo worthy. Service was neutral until we requested our bill. The bartender (KAREN H.) completely ignored our request and started fraternizing with other guests seated at the bar and outside of the bar area. We waited for a few minutes after trying to get her attention and then proceeded to ask another staff member if he could get her attention for us. At that time we saw her reappear immediately and we asked again for our bill. My coworker and I were baffled by the obvious curt behavior she offered and continued to ignore our request. We waited another 8 minutes before she returned with our bill. We split the bill which was $73.00. My colleague paid cash and I used a credit card. We also paid a tip in cash. Karen brought the cc reader over and put my card inside. I specifically stated, "please charge my card $40.00 as we are paying the rest in cash". She left the reader on the bar and walked away again for another 6 minutes. When she finally came back, she picked up the reader and told me to sign. I requested a paper receipt and once again waited another 5 minutes for her return. We were running late and immediately left after obtaining the receipt. When I looked at the receipt later on I saw that KAREN charged my card $45.73 after I specified to charge $40. She paid herself another tip off of my credit card. Never in my dining experiences have I had staff overcharge my card. I have also reached out via the establishment's website about this experience and am awaiting a response. My advice.... just don't patronize this business and save yourself from an unpleasant encounter. read more

Blooms tavern was the first highly rated bar that showed up close to where I had just got done with a work dinner. We were having too good of a time to break up the party yet. We were looking for an low key Irish pub with a happy hour menu and Blooms checked those boxes. They have two floors, the ground floor is catered for your tinder dates, the first floor is for when you have a mid-large sized party looking to have a good time. Their happy hour menu goes on all evening and is expansive. The wait staff sounded Irish and treated us with their notable Irish hospitality- warm, welcoming and they all just seemed thrilled to serve us. Blooms has five stars for a very good reason. Check them out if you're in the neighborhood. read more

I really like this place a lot. The food is way above average pub grub. For instance- the turkey club is actually real Turkey, not that slimy thick cold cut crap in most places. The nachos are outstanding! Service friendly and a warm cozy vibe. Would love if they got the fireplace working! read more

Sorry to do another review on fish and chips, but I had the perfect fish and chips tonight and had to give praise where it's due.  I've eaten a lot of fish and chips in the pubs and bars of Manhattan and there are a lot of good ones!  Some of the better ones, however, still were a bit off somehow whether it was the texture or cut of the fries or the texture or type of batter.  Even still, some places use haddock and others flounder. The one I had tonight from Bloom's Tavern is the best I've eaten so far.  I had it delivered because I was working late, but it still was hot on arrival.  The fish was cod, which is what should always be used in my opinion.  2 medium sized fillets fried with beer batter that came out crispy on the outside (a dry crust, not soggy or greasy), enough so that you could hear the fork breaking the crust.  The cod was fresh, flaky and very satisfying when biting into it...imagine all those ingredients including the lemon juice, malt vinegar and their home made tartar sauce all getting into your belly.  Further, the fries were some of the best I've had...medium-sized and still crispy after delivery (not too skinny, crunchy or greasy)...fried in a way that a lot of places can't copy.  I don't think that I am too off base on this one, but please take the opportunity to try it once and give me your opinion. read more

Overall: A little dingy, service was decent, and portions were small, food less than average and overpriced Atmosphere: I came here with friends after work for snacks and drinks. The place looked decent and was near work. But the inside is depressing and not well lit. I get that's the feel of a pub / tavern but the furniture is old and not well taken care off. Very average Service: Slow but decently attentive. Our waiter was nice enough but again nothing special. Food and Drinks: I don't drink by the drinks my friends got looked decent. The food was not good through. Their mozzerella sticks are $13 for 6 measly sticks that I swear are from the freezer isle of your local Aldis. You do the math. The nachos were so sad. A huge dollop of sour cream does not make the dish tasty my friends. In a city with amazing restaurants and bars this is not one that I would recommend. Probably won't be back unless co-workers urge me to because of convenience Edit: changed the review to one star to reflect the owners sarcastic response below. You tell me if this is a business you want to support. read more

Made our way over here for a Saturday late-afternoon snack. Several tables with heat lamps outside as well as a few that aren't as warm. Luckily we were able to get a table for two as a pair was leaving the warm area. Decided on splitting the Vegetarian Nachos ($13) to go along with a draft beer ($9). Nachos are a layering of thick tortilla chips, beans, cheese, salsa, sour cream, and guacamole. Good assortment of ingredients, wish it was layered better as most of the chips had no cheese or anything else on them. Beer list is your standard fare, a couple dollars more expensive than it should be but fine overall. There are also some decent cocktails (warm and cold) to choose from. Service here is pretty good despite a big group taking some of the resources away. Seems like there is a lot of space inside, so hopefully will be able to try again when we are able. read more
