From the moment…read morewe arrived, the staff at the door were super welcoming and encouraged us to try out their breaking glass activity. Check-in was quick and easy, and even though it was a full house for a Saturday night, we were still able to find seats without an issue. The space was definitely lively and a bit crowded, but there was still enough room to move around comfortably. Our bartender was really sweet and made great drinks , the cranberry vodka and Long Island were both spot on. We didn't pay extra for the additional glasses to smash, but the six cups included were enough to make the experience fun and satisfying for a casual night. I can see why people would want to buy a full bucket though as it definitely adds to the excitement. The crowd was respectful, and the bathrooms were decently clean, which is always a plus. Overall, a great spot for an stress-relieving, spontaneous night out!

It's a nice bar not too big and the break room is secluded and safe. Don't forget your glasses.

This is my neighborhood Irish bar (kind of a sports bar). I love this place in every single way…read more a. The staff is just beyond lovely. They remember your name and come with an air of friendliness. I may be biased because I used to live in Ireland. b. The food. I mean it is not a Michelin restaurant, but it is amazing bar/gastropub food. The tenders were delightful. The spiced bag is the hidden gem. c. They have drinks of a much fancier bar... Cocktails and all. There Irish coffee is amazingly beautiful. Oh and yes, prices are like from 2019!

I had the good fortune of being taken care of by Adam, the owner, an extremely welcoming and knowledgeable host. The bourbon selection is absolutely 10/10. He has vintage and specialty bottles, all priced clearly by the oz., that are really beyond imagination. Trust me on this one.. you WILL NOT be disappointed. After savoring 4 vintage bourbons, I had their very delicious Reuben with onion rings. Cannot wait to return!

The mozzarella sticks said 5 of them but we got four of them. They were good none the less. ::bathroom alert:: Very clean bathroom. I was very happy about this because I had just ate. There was tons of soap, it smelled nice in there. The beer and shot special under $10 in the city? Haven't seen that in awhile. The beers are super cheap here as well. They feel like old NY prices! Can't complain. They have four booths in the back maybe it was three. I did notice one of the hanging lights was from an 80s pizza hut joint. Letting you know now the paper towels for your face at the table felt like jail toliet paper, very rough. The bar doesn't have bar stools with backs! You either need to get one or two tables by their mini kitchen, very hot there not recommended for preimenopause or menopausal women or one of the booths. This is a great bar they played 60s music a lot. Heard some weird al too! Very random and fun place to be. The bartender was nice as well as security! Try the burger! Worth the $9!!

This place has so much potential it's honestly a little offensive that it's not living up to it…read more Like... you walk in and you feel like something should be happening. The energy is right there, hovering, but it never actually lands. It's giving "almost iconic" but not quite--like a party that never fully starts. And that's what gets me. Because this bar could EASILY be that spot. The kind people plan their week around. Where are the themed nights? Where's the drama? The chaos? Give me a reason to come back on a random Wednesday. Do a city-event tie-in, a holiday takeover, literally anything that makes it feel alive instead of just... existing. Because right now it feels like a missed opportunity wearing a cute outfit. BUT--let's talk about the one thing they absolutely did not fumble: the view. The VIEW??? Insane. Genuinely stunning. The kind of view that makes you pause mid-sentence and remember you're in New York and not just spiraling in your own life choices. It's carrying the entire experience on its back, respectfully. So yeah. I'd come back... but mostly for the view and the potential. If they ever decide to actually do something with this space? It could be dangerous (in a good way). Until then, it's vibes... just not fully realized ones.

My coworkers and I were looking for a lunch spot after attending a trade show at the Javits Center…read moreand stumbled across The Yard's Pub a few blocks away. We asked if we could have the stool window seats that face the sidewalk. The windows were open and we had a nice view of the busy street outside. I ordered a buffalo chicken salad ($20) and a glass of Pinot Grigio off the happy hour menu ($10). I was pleasantly surprised to see that their happy hour begins at 12pm and goes all the way until 8pm! The salad was a generous size and filled me up. Service was great and our waitress checked in on us a few times. A great Irish pub with delicious food and reasonable prices! Buffalo Chicken Salad: 5/5 Pinot Grigio: 5/5

Traditional bar fare apps, burgers & sandwiches, flatbreads, Irish entrees, salads, sides, options for kids, etc. Ordered: Nachos as is + Fried Pickle Chips + Fish n Chips w/ minted (whole) peas, fries, coleslaw + house draft + 2 Smithwicks drafts + a Guinness on draft. In love with all the food and drinks. They offer malt vinegar for the fries on the side which is crucial. Perfect pours on the beers from the bartender, big portions. Our waitress Cathy (or Kathy) was awesome! Checked in on us but not obtrusively, was so friendly and personable, helpful, funny, and really took care of us for lunch. *They're open LATE -- til 2AM most nights, 3AM Fridays and Saturdays.* My partner said: "I loved the private environment even on a busy street, the vibes, selection, our waitress, the bar and decor, our food, even the house draft beer which was only $6 and described as light but was really refreshing." come visit!!

STEPH JUDGEMENT: An escape from the nearby tourist traps…read more It was close to our hotel so we decided on some final drinks here to end the night. For being so close to Times Square, it does not pander to tourists at all. It was all dim lighting and haphazard decor, but pretty roomy, with pool tables in the back. Didn't feel too different from some bars we frequent in Long Beach, actually. The patrons on the night of our visit looked local, and the drinks were cheap--no fancy cocktails here. The only bummer was that their sound system kept cutting out, so the music (of the hard rock variety) was spotty. We felt at home, and were glad we stopped in.

The view is gorgeous and sweeping. The service is attentive and professional. The drinks are sophisticated. I ended up here because I saw a video about their gin and tonic. Sounds simple, but it's one of my favorite drinks, and I'm always looking for someone who can do it well. I ordered their "dear G&T" and it was a fruity, complex riff on my old favorite. I also got the foreign forage, "a bourbon smash with a mint zing." It was also a delicious take on a classic. They have several types of cocktails, all broken down by spirit and flavor profile. They also offer a lot of spirits made in New York State. They have cocktails with earthy notes, fruity notes, fancy martinis, and a section boasting limited edition and special spirits, if you're "feeling fancy" and wanna cough up 35 bucks instead of 20 or 25! They have a bar snacks menu (sliders, nuts, and the like). I had their thick cut fries and they were light, seasoned, and tasty. I couldn't stop eating them. Midtown or not, I highly recommend this spot, which also has a couple other locations, including Gramercy.
