    Malachy's is a straight forward, no frills, Irish Pub. It's an affordable drink option if you want a beer and just to watch a game on the UWS. The food is also surprisingly good. They offer solid sandwiches and burgers and a variety of your standard beers. They also have white claw if you're into that. But there a couple of things that you will not get at Malachy's: - great lighting ( it's dark in here all times of the day. ) -speedy service ( it's run by great but older folk. And they're working hard but they are very slow and trying to manage the whole bar and the tables means they might take a while to get to you) In short, Malachy's is not the place you bring your parents when they come into town. It's the place where NYers go for cheap drink and a good time when they want a night out and some snacks.

    What a great time in Manhattan again for Tom Jones at the Beacon. Got in a bit early so headed off to Malachy's for a couple of drinks. It's been years since we've been here and the place looks amazing. The remodel a fantastic hit with several large screen TV's and a really nice vibe. As always the people in the bar are nice and we had a few friendly conversations with some of the patrons. This is a very warm and welcoming bar where you don't have to worry about the usual Manhattan stuck up crowd. Theresa was behind the bar and she is a charming and funny bartendress. It was hard to tear ourselves away to head out for the show because we were having so much fun at the bar. We didn't eat this time, but I know the food is good and at great prices for this area, you can't go wrong at Malachy's. I can't wait to return during the day when Billy is at the Bar - he is the best in NYC.

    COOL PLACE FOR QUICK DRINK'S AND BURGER ON THE WAY TO BEACON THEATER, OWNER WAS FRIENDLY

    Took awhile to warm up to nonregulars (We're from Nebraska) but became my favorite local pub. Wish we could have stayed longer.

    Until what time is the kitchen open, specifically on Friday nights?

    On Thursday it closes before 11 PM. Pretty lame- not sure about other nights, sorry!

    Sean's easily accommodated our group of six. We started with pretzels and spinach artichoke dip…read morewith chips. The dip was hot and cheesy. Chips were replenished..eventually. The pretzels were more like warm soft breadsticks, served with a cheese dip and mustard on the side. Decor is an advertisement for Guinness but it IS an Irish pub in NYC. I had the Irish stew, a crock of hot beef and vegetables in a tasty gravy. Others in the group enjoyed burgers and salads. Next time I'll try the shepards pie. Server was pleasant and answered our questions.

    Walking around New York City on a drizzly Sunday, I walked into Sean's Bar & Kitchen to grab lunch…read more Typical looking New York, Irish pub, TVs, great vibe. Service from the bartender was great. I ordered the fish and chips and a Bloody Mary. Everything was great up till then. Unfortunately, the food was a disappointment. Maybe it was a deep fat fryer thing, but I respectfully suggest the cook be given a little additional training. The fish batter was hard on the outside, and the fish was completely mushy on the inside. Like, gray mush. The fries were lukewarm. The mushy peas and the tartar sauce were served in little covered plastic disposable containers. I'm not a fan of that, but I get it is convenient. I truly wanted to like this place, and except for my one experience with the food, I would certainly return. People were having fun, and I did as well. I believe if they become a little more attentive in the kitchen, this place is a five star pub.

    While I was visiting New York, my coworker back home sent me on a mission to find a specific Irish…read morebeer since they just got back from Ireland. Apparently this beer is not as common in New York, but there were a couple Irish pubs that still sold them on draft and luckily there was one nearby my hotel. Very cool place! It's easy to miss walking by but once inside there's a bar on the main floor, restaurants in the next floor and a rooftop bar several stories up. The rooftop bar is a huge open atmosphere and once seated you have about 40 beers on tap to select from. The staff is incredibly friendly as well and knew exactly what I was looking for. Would definitely come back to try more drinks!

Bartenders - FIVE of them will ignore tf out of you until they have no choice but to speak to you because some finance bros came and called the bartenders over. Thought it was because I'm a woman but then this older Caucasian woman came to sit next to me and they came to her right away (I'm a woman of color). I even had to flail my arms just to get the tab and I can tell that it's their routine to ignore a certain demographic. I was only here because my friend had to meet up with my work colleagues so I thought I would grab a seat at the bar and enjoy a quick burger before heading out for birthday festivities. The burger and fries were good and the rooftop is nice. I have no desire to return but it's probably what they want.
