We were staying at Hotel Shocard, and went next door to "4.2 star" Garveys for dinner - we were tired and starving that first night. My wife had French onion soup, which was covered with three slices of typical Swiss melted slightly by the heat of the soup. Pulled the cheese off, leaving good-enough soup. She then ordered nachos, which she said were the worst glop she's ever had. I had a corned beef sandwich, substituting roasted "Brussel" sprouts with balsamic glaze. Sprouts were good. Corned beef was unevenly sliced up to 3/8" thick, 1/3 of which was fat that I cut out. I ate the sandwich with knife and fork. Much of the meat was tough. The staff was very friendly, and attentive enough. They asked how everything was, but we lied and said it was good. We'd eaten everything so I would have been embarrassed to complain. read more

I have to say I had a hamburger and it was the best Hamburger, I very had, and I had several Juicy and the meat was cooked just perfect. I highly recommend this Irish Pub to everyone going to New York. read more

Amazing place! The atmosphere is welcoming. The food is delicious and fresh. It is the perfect Hide Out in New York. The singer was fabulous. I cannot tell you enough how wonderful this place is! The service is outstanding. Want a happy and nice night out come here. I love this place. I will be back many times! read more

This is a cute pub located right in the theater district. I came for dinner right before Redwood and it was great. There's live music and the singer was lovely. I got the fried chicken sandwich which came with fries and a pickle. The fries were great and the sandwich was good, but I though the chicken was a tad dry. Service was good although it did take a while for us to get the check despite asking a few times, I guess they were busy that night. Also, if you show the waiter your Broadway ticket you get a small discount! read more

I went in when it wasn't too busy, but it was still a really fun atmosphere. This is a great place for a pre-show meal and drink. Also the bartender told me about the Irish mule with Orange Jameson, and it literally changed my life. read more

Definitely a classic pub. The cocktails weren't textbook, but they had a ton of beer on tap, also super nice staff here. read more

My wife and I went here for a drink, the Guinness was good as expected. The Apple Martini was tart but not bad. Wish I got food to have more to judge by. Vibes were great for a Sunday afternoon, service was decent, live music was good as well. Was a little pricey, but as expected in Times Square. read more

Garvey's Irish Pub - Guinness, Apple Martini - Pubs Near Me - New York, New York

1 Guinness = $12 1 Espresso Martini = $24 I asked for a menu and they said they don't have a menu. Does this make sense? read more

This Irish pub was adjacent to our hotel and, though we didn't travel here for St. Patrick's Day, celebrating over a few brews just seemed like the right thing to do. What a fun evening! The bartenders were exceptionally friendly, despite a packed house of revelers. And I noticed that the manager laid down the law to an older man who brought a young child into the bar and refused to serve him. That's integrity! -- I'm not really a bar guy, unless there is a conference or special occasion, but I would certainly return here for a beer or a nice neat shot of Jameson. read more

Food: 7 Service: 8 Setting / Cleanliness: 8 Music: 2 I was waiting for my train and needed a bite and a pint. I walked down 7th until I saw the sign for Garvey's. They advertised live music and fish and chips. Pub music and fish and chips? Yes. Yes, please. Walked in and had no trouble finding a table, as it was a Thursday night. Ambiance and setting were good. Place was clean, and the service was prompt. As expected, I ordered the fish and chips. Nice crisp fries, and fish that was cooked well and wasn't greasy. My only complaint is about the music. The pub musician knew NO pub songs. No Stan Rogers covers. No Chieftains tributes. No Dubliners ditties (I asked!). No music you would expect to hear in an Irish Pub. What diner's and tipplers got was a gravelly, mush-mouthed, soloist who's choice of music was badly composed acoustic covers. These included Beyonce's "Halo" and some other pop rubbish by the Gin Blossoms or Goo Goo dolls. read more

Underwhelming at best. Drink pours were VERY light and service was not great with long waits to be served. Ordered Philly cheesesteak- should have been called the onion and pepper sandwich. Hardly any meat and what was there was tough and tasteless. Also tried the burger- this was obviously a warmed over patty which was served on an old bun. Not your typical warm, friendly, good food Irish Pub. I would not return nor recommend to anyone I know. So many other good pubs in area - this was a big miss. read more

It may not be fair judging a restaurant on a holiday when the city is hosting an iconic parade, but I imagine most establishments should be prepared to handle it. Service was slow- waitstaff didn't get our order until 50 minutes after being seated and parties seated after us. Soda was watery, food was mediocre. And if you like home fries (breakfast potatoes) be warned they serve French fries as a substitute. read more

Loved the service especially the weekend bartender. She was amazing! Drinks were great and discount for staying at the hotel was a plus. Definitely on my list for when I am back in the city. read more

Great service as always. Pearse and Andrew were on the ball serving delicious cocktails to us. This time I remembered to include pics of the food. Not before i put ketchup on the fries (sorry). My friend and I both tried the Irish sausages with fries and curry sauce on the side. I've had Irish sausage at many places all over queens and the Bronx and these were bar far the best we have eaten. My daughter got the chicken with broccoli and fingerling potatoes. She said it was delicious. Believe me, if I try something the chef has made that isn't out of this world I will be completely honest. So far every dish we have ordered had been delicious. Just a great vibe and friendly staff that makes you feel like you've been going to Garveys for years. read more

Granted it was Christmas day, but we ordered 4 different types of beer and everyone was incredibly flat.

This restaurant surpasses logical expectations. This spot balances looks and comfort perfectly. Their staff demonstrated excellent care throughout our visit. Quality dishes served by professional staff. I'll return repeatedly even during busy periods. read more

I stopped here after a concert earlier this week. Had a few beers and a pretzel with cheese (which was awesome). Friendly bartender, and I like the music too: it was mostly traditional Irish sing-alongs, but with the occasional Van Halen or Rolling Stones tune to mix things up. What a cool bar. If I lived in New York this might be a regular stop of mine. And I will keep Garvey's in mind next time I'm visiting. read more

My friends and I came here to begin celebrating my bachelorette and it was a mixed experience. We originally went for happy hour and were told by one waiter that the canned drinks were $5 but then got charged $10. Then another waiter charged my other friend $5, but everyone else $10 for the same canned drink. We are unsure why the prices were so inconsistent for canned drinks. However I will say, the vibes were really fun and made up for this mishap. They have live music and a decent amount of space to mingle if you have a larger crowd of people in your party. I would come again! read more

One of the most crisp Guinness in NYC. Poured just right and the moment my cup was ready for a refill, a new one (with a shamrock ) was slid my direction! The food was incredible, had the half roasted chicken. I was told it would take about a half hour to be ready, so the expectation was set. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, veggies were tender but still had a bit of a bite and the mash was creamy and delicious. All of this was, somehow, outshined but the epic tunes of Allen Gogarty. Allan's music was uplifting and invigorating. What a time!! 10/10 will be back; most likely on another night Allen is playing! read more

My dinner was delicious, my drinks were tasty and the atmosphere was cheerful! Service is on point. The live music each night is awesome !

We stoped at Garvey's for a late night drink and snack as it was only a few doors down from our hotel. Conveniently located in Time Square, greeted by a friendly bartender and Guinness on tap. We were hoping for live music but there wasn't any on the night we went. They also have a great selection of wine and whiskey. Full menu available, but we only had a pretzel and it was okay, definitely didn't taste like. NY fresh pretzel. It was served with cheese, but the table mustard was much better for dipping. We would definitely stop by again to enjoy the drinks, music, easy going atmosphere and the location. Cheers! read more

A Guinness and a shot of Jameson is $36. I had a table of two and that was the tab. The server (female) took our order, served us, then clocked out and sat at the bar and had her shift drink. I'm a bartender so I know. I came by weeks later and my Guinness and jamo shot was half the price. Why? Don't know: but not coming here again for a quick beer. read more

The pub is rather new here. We arrived about 6:30 PM. We were greeted when we walked in, and we're directly seated. Our server came to our table and asked for our drink order. He was very disinterested. It took a few minutes for our draft Guinness to arrive. And the server left without saying a word. He later came back and ask for our dinner order. My wife asked for the Shepherds Pie, and I the Bacon Spinach salad. Again the server left without another word or question. The place was extremely loud with the recorded music very loud. All the patrons were forced to shout to communicate!! And nothing at all suggested an Irish pub!! Our food came again without a word. But the food was delicious!! The pie was great! Very tasteful and perfectly seasoned. The salad was huge and so much bacon. Truly fantastic!! All and all it was good, not not at all like an Irish pub! read more

What a hidden gem this place was. We had a young girl bartender who was an aspiring actress (didn't get her name) who was probably the best bartender I've met in a long time. Full of good energy and super friendly. My friend and I didn't try the food. Very nice Irish pub in Times Square. My only complaint is one bathroom for everyone (unless I missed something) read more

Great service. We had a burger and a fried chicken sandwich. Both delicious. We received our meal Ms quickly.

If you want to get ignored then cursed out and yelled at in a bar full of people at 5pm just ask this bartender or even better the manager who thinks its funny and disregards it . The male manager has been intrusive sevaral times so ive avoided going when hes on shift but today i had the pleasure of being verbally assaulted by thus big guy , because i asked him if he was ignoring me after i asked for a beer 3-4 times read more

Stopped here for a few beers before seeing Tommy next door at the Nederlander theatre. Good old school Irish music was cranking, bartenders were very friendly and attentive, I ordered the Chicken club sandwich which was very good. Big crowds came in before the show, great energy, everyone enjoying themselves. Really, what more could you ask for ???? read more

Sitting In this bar you would never think you are right smack in touristy times Sq. This bar feels like a neighborhood bar with kind bartenders , great music and great beers on Tap. Oliver is the best!!! He is so sweet and made my night with his friendly conversation on a colds winter night. The musician playing was singing the right songs. I will be back to see Oliver!! read more

This was my wife and I's first visit to NY City together. I won't lie. We were on our way to pizza and happened upon Garvey's Pub and decided to push pizza to lunch the next day and go in for fish and chips (this review is limited to that menu item but really that's the constant at Irish Pubs that really tell me the status of the place). In a word - delicious and satisfying. I paired it with a Montauk IPA (okay 2) but left filling full and with a card should I ever be in NY City again. The food was good, the tunes were good, the service was great and it has an authentic vibe. Do not ask the girl at the desk to the right if it's self seating. She works for the hotel next door and will give you blank stares. Go straight to the bar and you'll find a friendly greeting that is a wonderful precursor to good food and a great experience! read more

Big fan of this place. The staff are chill and mostly Irish, the food is good, the beer cold, and the wait times are manageable (usually). There aren't many independent businesses left in the Times Square area and fewer yet that aren't extremely high end. Highly recommend this place if you happen to be in the area - it's one of the best by a mile. read more

Regina made one of the top 3 cosmopolitans our table has ever had! The food was delicious. Service was great and quick.

I was in the area and heard about a discount for being a first time customer. Upon approaching the restaurant I could hear a man yelling at a hostess as well as smoking in front. The man went back in with a nasty attitude and I chose not to go in. read more
