I was there with some friends last Friday night after dinner. Sitting there having a great time, playing some jams on the jukebox while drinking drinks. An hour into the night, a DJ showed up, overriding the Jukebox. I went up to the bartender, told him I had just put 10 bucks into the machine. He turned around without hesitation, grabbed the money out of the register and gave me a refund. That is how your run a business! I will never forget that moment and am likely to return for a few beers after work. Tom Gray Executive Director GVCCC www.villagechelsea.com read more

Well, ended up here with a bunch of people and overall had a great time. Irish bartender dudes were a bit surly, but with $4 Landshark pints, darts, and tons of space to hang out, what's not to like? The crowd ranged from random very old people to college kids, and the DJ ranged from decent jams to "I can hear the fact that this guy has walked away from his dj stand over there." As a heads up, the menu on their plastic table stand is from the place next door. I ordered the Mac and cheese which was delicious but overpriced. Overall I enjoyed my time there, had plenty of space for hanging out on a Friday night, and drinks were cheap! Boom! read more

Very spacious bar, close to the subway. Pretty good deal for happy hour ($10 pitchers). I was here only briefly around 7-8pm, and so there were not too many customers. Unfortunately, there is no food served, but they have no problem with guests bringing in outside food. The bartender was also pretty nice. I ordered a Sam Adams, but it was coming out foamy, so he apologized for it-- I'm always a fan of nice bartenders! Also, several TVs along the bar playing sports games, and a computer that supposedly offers free internet by the front. read more

Perfect. Walking in at happy hour after a cold brisk walk. Friendly, familiar and Guinness. What more can u ask for

+ I visited this place while it was heavily snowing outside. + The first thing which comes in your mind about Flannery's are the darts. Gr8 for a casual nite out. + Darts somehow helps strengthen the bonding and camaraderie among friends. + Has TV's to watch sports. + Clean bathroom downstairs. + Very promising for my future visits. read more

The staff here has a really bad vibe. Bartender was rude and negative when I first walked in. An hour later - without any basis whatsoever - he escalated an argument, unnecessarily came around the bar, put his hands on me, and kicked me out for basically no reason whatsoever (other than he seemed to know another patron who blew his cool when we asked if a stool was available). Totally unnecessary and unprofessional. I think that the bartender may be having a sexual relationship with that other patron. Whole scene at that bar is very odd. Sad! read more

I miss Flannery's. Can't wait for it to open again. Bar tenders were always friendly. Some man put his hands on me at the bar. The bartender kicked him out. I don't know what all the negative reviews are about. read more

Really great place to have avert and polar darts as it's an Irish bar and have fun... read more

Flannery's Bar - Irish Pub Near Me - New York, New York

Definitely make your way into this welcoming little pub. My bartender sounded like the real deal, and when the Guiness I ordered was served up with a PERFECT clover design in the head - well, color me impressed. Great surprise for fun and drinkin' with friends, off the beaten path in Manhattan. Many try and fail in this city where Flannery's TRULY delivers. Sláinte! read more

I have been to Flannery's many times, I have even celebrated New Years Eve there. It is a good place if you are a big group. However, last time I was there , May 2nd , made me not want to go there ever again. I showed up there waiting for 10 friends. We were going to watch a game together. I ordered a beer from the chubby grey haired bartender. I got the beer and the bartender started cleaning the bar from dirty glasses and went on to put them right under my nose. I asked him kindly if he could move it somewhere else. His response: "This is how we do it here, If you don't like it, you can leave". I left after I finished my beer. Needless to say, I will never go back. The bartender was obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed, since he lost business from 10 guys, as well as losing a regular customer. read more

Rudest, angriest, surliest, most insecure, most insane bartender (and not in a fun way) in New York City and possibly the entire eastern seaboard. I have no idea how he's still employed in the service industry. And on top that, the bar is total dump. Flat beer, watered down booze, no food. If you're considering going to this bar, be aware that you'd have a more pleasant experience buying a tall boy and drinking it while sitting on a toilet in the Port Authority. Never go here for any reason. read more

Home to the one and only NY Spurs! Drafts at the main bar and cans in the back. Come early on big match days because it gets packed. No kitchen but there's a clutch donut next door. COYS! read more

TERRIBLE Bartenders ! Very unfriendly Restaurant Not to clean either . With so Many other great choices Why bother going here . read more

I asked for a drink and it took no less than 20 minutes for him to finish pouring it. Also because I used his outlet to charge my transportation, he kicked me out like I was a terrorist. I don't understand why someone would treat someone like crap for coming to their bar and spending $25 on one drink. I wanted to have a good time, but they literally harassed me in the street and I have no reason to ever visit them again in NYC. read more

Long story Short : Great bar if your expectations of it are realistic. It's a dive bar for sure. Kinda dirty, loud, drunk people being kind of douchy, but it makes it awesome. Plus DARTS. however, they don't let you play when it's packed. And someone always has the jukebox on something lame like Matchbox twenty....boo. I love this place when I'm in the right mood for it. Good for darts, cheap drinks and a fun atmosphere. Long story Here is the long story if you feel like getting a real sense of what this place is like. Honest to God true story. Group of friends and I go in for a few beers and some darts..... Ask bartender for 3 drinks but I only have a credit card and the minimum is 20. Im at 16....so I say ok, well give me a fruity shot, nothing strong....and cheap. He hands me a shot of well whiskey. Um , what? He's obviously wasted and tells me to deal with it. Ok..... so I give it to my friend. There goes this night.... couple of beers in, we switch to liquor. I order my bf a jack & coke. Dude hands me the whole bottle, says pour it myself. LOL ok....I do, but I don't over do the pour, and he's like, really? I would have taken the whole bottle , and doesn't charge me. I pour my friends Guiness... lots of free alcohol later, he yells for my b/f to come to the bar, he says hey take a shot of Jager with me, (remember, this guy is WASTED, like he can barely stand or talk) so they take one, the bartender throws up behind the bar. Seriously. That my friends..... is Flannery's. read more

Hats off to the bartenders at Flannerys, having to deal at times with the most "difficult" of customers. Regards to Magic Mike Murray. Stop by, buy a drink, enjoy good conversations. read more

i have a secret. shhh. yelp keeps secrets. i'm in love. ah the secret's out. i'm in love with kamikaze shots. it doesn't matter where they are. i must have them. fast. clean. cheap. happened upon flannery's, which i could not find because i was sure it was called hennessey's. does that make me a racist? no i'm not drunk. damn it. kamikazes go down so easy. so anyway, i stepped inside with a friend who as usual hated being there. hid along the back wall. no it was not marlowe. damn it. lots of tvs all around, some big, some small. the yanks were on the big one. the mets were on the small one. DING. one automatic star for humor. the air wasn't all that fresh inside. deep in the bar there were groups of youngish bar hounds and houndesses playing darts. i think there were two boards going. it wasn't crowded which was good and no one tried to start anything with me. DING. another star. there was one space at the bar. i slid in and, without sitting down, ordered shot one. jeter hit a double. i didn't know the cost. i do that a lot lately. i say, i'll have that, or i'll have one of those, and after it comes i say, oh, how much? that's just wrong. it's in the wrong order. damn it. anyhow i put down a 20 and waited for change so i could figure out how much i just spent. 4 bucks. i think that's good, right? i never paid for one before. it's true. i figured, 4 bucks out of 20, i could get a few more of these right here. anyhow, drank it right down, yes i still love you kamikaze. after jeter something else good happened. hand waves. bartender. the moderately flaccid silent type. i liked him. quiet without being stoic. a good fit. not for me, i mean, i just mean a good fit in the ENVIRONMENT THAT WE WERE BOTH IN, please. hello, the BAR? nevermind. number two. drank it down. i mean, it's just a shot. takes no time at all. another batter did something good and some runs scored and that can make a beat bar better. DING. third star. the front is on 14th street and the window gets pulled back so it's all open. people were sitting on it facing the street smoking. the air went backwards, sort of like my brain, and the smoke came inside so that put a damper on things. another. ok. drank it down. can't wait for the effect. i am new to kamikazes. how drunk do you get? what does it feel like? waiting. bases loaded. good. crap. pitching change. way too boring to wait. put the remaining fiver in my pocket and walked on down the road. the whole thing took about 10 minutes. do people really do this, slip into bars, down a few shots, and walk back outside and buy broccoli? just like that? suddenly it all became clear and i felt a little nervous about walking around the streets all those days weeks years. the person next to me could have been drunk. a well dressed drunk. a drunk nanny. a drunk punk. a drunk beauty. a drunk office worker. ok not a stretch. but it didn't really matter just then. i felt liberated. i felt connected to the secret walking drunk society. i felt fine. but what we really loved was the gehry building on west 16th street all lit up and lopsided in the night. marlowe was nowhere to be found. read more

This bar is the WORST. Wait, let me be more specific, the bartender was the worst. I went here Saturday night with three friends. We ordered drinks and danced, had a great time. Then my one friend paid the tab, left and the three remaining tried to order waters before heading out. One we ordered water, the bartender screamed at us for "not spending any money" and asked us to leave. Horribel. DO NOT GO HERE. read more

It's a shame. Some of these recent poor reviews of Flannery's Bar seem to reflect more on the reviewer than the bar. Walking in at closing near 4am when the staff is trying to close, order water and act offended and cry "racism" when you get eye-rolled; the dollar tip isn't worth it when the bar is trying to close. I've been coming to Flannery's off and on for years and the staff has been nothing but gracious from day one. I guarantee if you experience an attitude, you brought it with you. This is a neighborhood bar that's been around for a long time, a great place to hang out, play a friendly game of darts, and chill. read more

If you, like us, decide to hit all the other bars on this block before you make your way into Flannery's....let me just say--things can be a little fuzzy by the time you get here. Lucky for me, I took notes. Mmmhmm--yes I did. My bar napkin reads (translate at will): "Live DJ--oldies, grande McKenna's, schlacked floors, birre." Off hand, I do remember the floors being schlacked...good beer...good whiskey. Music was bumping and the after hours was even more entertaining. read more

Fucking best bar in the hood! Never had a bad time! Johnny, Mush, Mike, and David are the shit! Love this place!

after my grad school orientation, some people came over for a few cocktails. it was...basic. the drinks were pretty cheap. it's a pretty standard irish bar type of place. one interesting note, on wednesdays they have a hasher meet up. so, if you are into that, take note. i think that i'd come here after class or something like that, but i wouldn't make it a destination. read more

Never coming back. The bartenders are apathetic & rude. One of them kept harassing my boyfriend & I for cash the second after we ordered our drinks. Their attitudes were so off & the negative signs they post in the place are the total opposite of welcoming. Thumbs down, Flannerys! read more

Flannery's Bar - How can you enjoy yourself with this negativity looming over the bar? - Irish Pub Near Me - New York, New York

I came in here with 4 other friends and the bar tender was SUPER rude! My phone had died and I was charging it and was approached by the bouncer who aggressively asked me if I was going to order anything or just charge my phone! I was unaware that I had broken their rules, I didn't ask permission so I was unwelcome. I then ordered a drink and the bar tender seemed nice at first, but then I realized it was all fake. I have never met such a NASTY Irishman, I actually didn't think they existed, until then. He was rude to my friends and when I asked him about my phone he screamed at me and told me I walked in there and didn't ask permission! I asked if I needed to pay him to charge my phone and he scoffed at me. It's nice to know that he cares about the safety of women in NYC, what an asshole. I would NOT recommend this bar to ANYONE. read more

Ignore the person from the May 13th comment. They were completely rude and ignorant. I've been a patron at Flannery's for over 10 years and as a proud black woman I can assure you the staff there are the furthest thing from racist. From my first visit way back when I left feeling like I had made new friends with the bartenders hence my returns. Go there and enjoy yourself with a perfectly poured Guinness. read more

Classic divey Irish place! Pretty dark inside. Honestly, I feel like with divey and Irish, I could go two ways: I like super Irish places like Percy's and Moran's Chelsea, OR I like super divey places like Raccoon Lodge and White Horse Tavern. This place was kind of in-between... which confuses me because I am not sure how to classify! But to take it as it is: a nice, cheap spot, a good Irish bartender, and friendly patrons. Nothing super special, but not too bad. Really, though, I love places with patches, badges, hardhats, and a flag. This place didn't have those. But it was still a decent place. read more

I liked this place a lot. The bartender was friendly and helpful and the drinks were reasonably priced. Lot's of TVs for watching sports and free darts! Crowd was pleasant and I'm sure I will be back. Oh, by the way, they don't ID. Ever. read more

Clearly a miscommunication on the incompetent bartenders part. I'm not one to come in and use someone's restroom for free without tipping or at the very least having a beer (I work in service and understand how annoying this can be) I proceed to use the restroom before buying a beer which didn't seem like a big deal to me but apparently the bartender assumed I was being rude/offensive for saying give me a minute (so I can use the rest room & then come back to get my beer) a fellow patron of the place decided to come deescalate the flustered man who reassured me I will not be using his restroom and asked me if "I want to mess with him" needless to say I ended up giving him $6 for the beer I was originally going to buy. Used the restroom and told him give it to the bro dude with the hat backwards because I refuse to enjoy a beer in a place that wanted to "refuse my service" because the bartender is hard of hearing and aggressive. read more

I'm not sure about these negative reviews - I had a blast when I went there this past weekend for the game. The crowd is friendly as are the bartenders. One of the bartenders even bought me a beer. It does get crowded for the games so if you want a seat I would suggest going there about 30mins early. read more

Randomly walked into this bar months ago while waiting for a friend to meet up and I keep coming back. It's mainly for the darts and the amount of space available to hang out. It's def not for the drink deals or the lack there of, not the drinks they don't buy back and def not for the hospitality and quickness of the bartenders. Not a bad place though. Televisions everywhere and dart boards are in great shape. read more

From the haze that was Friday night tearin-up-NY-with-Gab-pub-crawl... this place was good times as far as I can ascertain. It had all of the essential components of the last bar on a pub crawl: whiskey, ice, darts, loud music, and an italian guy to make out with. Sarted. read more

Roomy, dark dive bar with old televisions showing boring sports programs. Manhattan prices, watered down drinks, nothing special at all. It could be gone tomorrow and no one would be worse off. read more

My FAVORITE bar in NY! Great music and always a great time! Never to crowded, and the DJ always takes your requests! Love this spot!

Nice bar. Cool air conditioning on a hot day. Bartender is personable and attentive. Lots of TV's and a nice chill atmosphere.

Real divey. I like divey though. Darts, beer, stuff is relatively affordable for someone without much desire to spend too much. The booths are big and there's usually people coming in and out in large groups. Didn't spend too much time here but I had a good time for the most part. read more

I can't say much about this place; stopped by for a beer and some food but realized that they have no kitchen. Had a Goose Island IPA which was a bargain at $6.00. Basically a neighborhood dive bar with music on weekends. Nothing to complain about. read more

great bar for grabbing a casual drink. plus they have darts which is always a fun drinking game! i am pretty sure they have hotdogs as well which is always a plus once you start drinking, but cant say i've ever tried them. the bartenders are always really nice and friendly which i love read more

Flannery's Bar - Irish Pub Near Me - New York, New York

This is the perfect laid back Irish pub. Its basically Cheers if you go in regularly you quickly get to know the very friendly bar tenders. Always generous with a buy back after a few drinks. On Fri and Sat they have a DJ. Which can be fun if you are with a group who enjoys dancing. My favorites are quiet week nights with a local crowd. read more

Had the most unpleasant experience here... if I could give it a "0" I would. Came here to meet some friends who were out for Santa Con on 12/9/2017. We ordered a few rounds of drinks for a bunch of people so we've spent plenty of cash! There's was some dart tournament going on ... so as we were standing we had our coats on a chair ... the bar attendant rudely ordered us to move our stuff as this seat was reserved for the people playing a tournament and that their stuff was on the chair ... ummm clearly the chair was empty otherwise I would have never left my coat there. As I tried to explain this to the bar attender he blatantly said "if you don't like it get the fuck out of here" ... he then continued raising his voice, yelling and cursing at us. I work in the customer service industry, I have worked in plenty of bars and restaurants all through college and I have never encountered such disrespect in my life. You never, ever raise your voice at a customer and use foul language ... this man by the name of "Jay" is a horrible representation of this establishment and should be reprimanded as an employee and clearly needs anger management treatment. read more
