Bring in New York you would think you could find a great Irish pub. This restaurant had decent ratings but I wouldn't not go back. How can you have fish and chips with soggy chips? Hardly anyone In restaurant and we still had to go to the bar to order everything when they had full table service. read more

The French Onion soup is a solid choice. The chicken wings are a good value but there is too much coating so I will not order that dish again. The staff is friendly and very helpful read more

Walking by in the city in search of a light bite, saw John Sullivan's and that it had 4 stars. A little dark inside, but lots of tvs. Bartender had a lovely Irish accent, and took our order. The mango fizz was good, though not very mango-ey, and not fizzy at all. Food arrived quickly. Cheese quesadilla was good, pear flatbread was tasty, but we forgot to say sub another type of cheese for the Gorgonzola and we should have. read more

Irish breakfast at its glory... owner was lovely, friendly, attentive and chatty. Waitress was wonderful as well. But enough about that.... the food! Full irish breakfast, black pudding, white pudding, sausage, ham, eggs, toast. If you've never had it before, here's a fantastic place to try it. read more

This place rules. Traditional Irish bar in Midtown. Great service and food. Bar staff is efficient and very friendly. 10/10

Stopped in for drinks with a friend during Covid. They followed CDC guidelines and the service was phenomenal. We watched our server sanitize out area prior to seating us. The food was delicious! I had salmon with orzo and my friend had the rack of lamb. Everything was perfect I can't wait to go back! read more

Great spot to visit bartender was nice definitely revisiting this place when I go back into Manhattan

How this place has 4 stars is beyond me as they were either much better pre covid or I just got the worst meal they served. I was happy they were open with outdoor seating as not many options in midtown versus the upper west side. I got a burger and frozen margarita. Burger was supposed to be medium but was beyond well done. The patty was maybe 2/3 size of bun and tasteless. Frozen margarita was made with bad tequila and sour mix and only half frozen. Fries were decent and do have nice tent with chairs. Gave them 2nd star for that. Maybe if stuck to straight liquor or beer this place is fine. read more

Server was pleasant and efficient. I'm a fish and chips fan, and that's why we came here. Fish was mushy and barely hot. Not crispy at all. The chips were no different from the French fries served all over town. 3 pieces likely frozen from the restaurant supplier. One piece was inedible. It appeared to still have a strip of fish bones on the back of it. When I cut into it and the breading fell off, I thankfully decided to leave it. So, 2 pieces of pre-frozen fish for $22 was not a bargain in my book. Even without the bad piece, the dish was entirely unremarkable. And now the best part, the music was LOUD. Every seat was taken (that's good) and people sitting near each other were shouting to be understood by the person right next to them. It was the dinner hour, so it seems to me the booming music would be best saved for the late-night crowd. read more

Doubt we will go here again. The waitress failed to tell us no one got our food order. Their lack of bathrooms for women is annoying. ::Bathroom Alert:: Disgusting and nasty. Its the busiest day of the year. You cant put toilet paper in the bathroom really? The stalls are just so small. Wrong just wrong. The food was just OK wasn't expecting it to be fantastic. Maybe I would go back IDK. I just know that you should tell your table that the cook didn't get our orders. We waited for like 45 mins for a small sandwich. read more

Great little Irish Pub. Cool bartender. Prices were fair and drinks strong. Met some really neat people. Will be back! read more

Excellent staff! Food was good, but come here for the service. No matter what, they treat you like gold. Thank you!

Overall, disappointing. Wife got the fish and chips. Fish was actually done well, but the "chips" were nothing but frozen, crinkle fries from a bag. I got the lobster roll. It was more bread, and onions, than lobster. The fries were going to be extra, but waitress gave them to me for free. Thank you! Daughter got the bangers and mash. The bangers were glorified breakfast sausages, and weren't much bigger than a breakfast sausage either. At least my Guinness didn't disappoint! read more

such great food! Great vibe too! Drinks were awesome! The fries were amazing! Loved the authentic staff from Ireland and pickle-back shots. Gluten free friendly! read more

I love this place! The building is cool and it is a nice break from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan. If you are looking for a good old classic bar this is it. The bartender was great and actually nice for this area. Im from Seattle and I feel nice and cozy here. I ordered the rueben and a cup of french onion soup. Rueben is good and the soup was excellent. I give this place 5 stars!!! I feel at home here! read more

Stopped by randomly trying to find a good bar before heading back home.. they just so happened to be showing the UFC FIGHT my friend wanted to see so kudos to that. Ordered wings, beers and drinks.. everything was good. The crowd was cool.. might stop by again. Oh they also have a daily special where you can get cheap drinks... they had $5 rum and cokes.. drinks were good read more

Food was okay, drinks were great, but our server/bartender Tessa really made our night. She was quick and attentive. Will definitely be back to see her. read more

Went hear for a quick lunch before a show that was near by. They have a $10 special lunch which includes a choice of sandwiches that include a choice of soup, fries or salad. I got two chicken tacos with salad and my friend got a corn beef sandwich with soup. Good food at a great price especially for the city.! I would definitely come back. read more

Tessa made us feel like we've always been here. Food was amazing. Service was fantastic. Will be back. And the Bloody Marys hit the spot! read more

A group of 9 of us stopped in at random since it was on the way back to our hotel to grab a last drink for the night, found nice spot upstairs. Tonight was the Masvidal-Diaz fight (which none of us follow UFC but will watch if it's on lol) and it was playing on every TV, downstairs at the main bar they had the sound on, upstairs they had most of the TVs subtitled. Which I thought was nice, you could choose which vibe you preferred. Upstairs bartender was nice and drinks were great, and definitely reasonably priced for the area. Would definitely go back when we're in town again. read more

Bar is sadly a tourist trap in the heart of midtown. Service was incredibly disrespectful and drinks overpriced. Fortunately, there are many other options in the area for a quick drink near MSG/Penn Station. read more

John Sullivan's - Caprese salad ! - Irish Near Me - New York, New York

Ordered Ruben and meat was grey and had an off smell.. Showed server and she offered something else off the menu and I declined bc I was turned off by the color and smell. Bill came and I was charged for the sandwich. Explained to server that I didn't eat the sandwich and she stated I would be charged because I didn't order something where to eat. So I asked for the manager, he proceeded to explain to me that all Rubens look like that and asked if I ever had a NY Ruben. Then wanted to know where I was from and said bc Im not from NY I wouldn't understand.. Are you kidding me?! He finally took off the sandwich, after I explained I've been to NY many times, I have had my fair share of Rubens in my life (In NY and other places) and never once had that experience. If you want a real Ruben.. Go to Katzs. read more

I'm an Arizona State alum and came here to watch the ASU football game. They reserve a place on the second floor for the game. I had a great time and the drinks are fairly priced. They had a board with drink specials so you can try something new and save a few bucks. The bartender was friendly and I'll be back! read more

NYC best kept secret. Dan our server was fantastic and the food just great. If you're on NYC and unsure about where to eat just come here.

I have tried to make this my local after work spot for a while now... I love the fact that they have items identified as Gluten Free. There is just a complete difference between the customer service of upstairs vs downstairs. No matter how hard we try, the bartenders and servers upstairs are just not as friendly. You would think that would be the case and it is usually calmer upstairs! Now We don't stay if we can't find a seat downstairs! There are so many Irish Bars/Pubs in the area that at some point we should cut our losses and go try some of them out instead of this one. read more

This place seemed the go-to drinking spot of my colleagues after work for a quick drink. It wasn't crowded when 15 of us were there. We sat on the 2nd floor. We ordered two big trays of appetizers. I think my favorite was the potstickers. They had crispy skins at the bottom. read more

Stumbled in here on a busy Saturday night and was happy to be able to get a table. The atmosphere is cozy and its just the perfect spot to hunker down on a cool night with a drink and some comfort food. The menu had a lot of pub offerings but I really wanted a burger. The burger was cooked to order and had a generous portion of fries with it. The fries were perfect - crispy and delicious. I added sauteed mushrooms and they were cooked well but lacked flavor. Could have used some garlic and salt or something. The whole burger was pretty bland. But it was nothing a little onion and ketchup couldn't fix. The quality was great for sure. I'd come again for the atmosphere and maybe try something else off of the menu! read more

Cute on the inside. I had the fig cosmo and I liked it a lot. The bar appetizers were good too. The waitresses were so busy that we didn't get second rounds because my friends didn't wanna wait any longer. Otherwise, thumbs up. read more

Went yesterday for lunch, Food was really good, service prompt. When the forgot the beets on my golden beet salad it was corrected very quickly. The turkey sandwich in the $10 lunch menu is reason enough to come back-so good. There was a group of 6-8 30 Something year olds getting the day drinking on and they were LOUD. Not the bars fault it is a bar after all. Will try it again and hope the crowd isn't quiet so loud n drunk during the day. read more

Been here a few times but was out celebrating my birthday and friend took me here. There was a bar tender named James. He was courteous, responsive entertaining. He was able to cover the floor and come back and tend to whatever selection I had come up with. Definitely a man who has good customer service skills. Made my visit warm and inviting look forward to seeing him here again so I can make more selections with him And invite my friends read more

Old time NYC bar not far from Madison Square Garden. Was there for a show and wanted to grab dinner before. Standard Irish fare on the menu. I had the Fish & Chips and my wife had a salad. Both were decent, nothing special. Beer was cold, what more could you ask for? read more

I love coming to this bar after a long day at work (Macy's) drinks are strong and not watered down! Food is good for a bar simple and nothing too fancy! Service was great and very friendly!

My company (1199) recently moved into the area. Went strolling the area for a place to periodically frequent. Bumped into this place. Thought it'd be cool since I can't get to my usual Irish pub,Dalton's. 2 things I look for when trying a new place: a welcoming environment and quality service. I got neither. While the hostess/waitress was hugging/hanging with frequent customers, I felt like I was left on an island. I asked for a medium well burger. It came WELL done. Maybe because I'm Puerto Rican? IDK. One thing I do know: I won't be going back. I'll wait for Dalton's to reopen and take the walk. read more

So many Irish bars you can go to in NY including a lot of "chains". Don't mistake this place for just any Irish bar. Open at 8am, 1pm Ireland time, so you don't need to feel guilty breaking your "not before noon rule"! Drink specials from open to close and though the steak and eggs with breakfast potatoes isn't on the breakfast menu you can still order the best hangover breakfast in all of NY! Don't go light on the brandy peppercorn sauce! read more

Came there on a Saturday AM prior to a big college basketball game at MSG. Only one bartender for the entire place who was also responsible for tables and food orders. Did not stay. read more

Came here a few weeks ago, after work. Wanted to try this place out because it just opened near my office. It's pretty average I say. It's nice cause it's new and clean. The food is eh. Had better. The drinks were good. The first waitress was nice, but all of the sudden, she left. So I'm assuming her shift ended, but didn't bother to tell us that "oh, my shift ended and so and so is going to be taking care of you instead" or something like that. But it's a bar so I shouldn't really complaining about it too much. (But the question is who do I tip? or do they have a pool of money that they split afterwards). In any case, I actually come here to try the wellington but it's not on their main menu. It was on their sign and we forgot to ask for food specials (but we heard the drink specials) So instead, I ordered shepherds pie and Canadian poutine. Well obviously, I wasn't expecting for authentic poutine. It was okay. It was fries and gravy. The sheperds pie was also okay. Kind of bland I think. Overall, it's okay. I would come back so I can try a beef wellington. And maybe cause it's clean. ahah read more
