    Guh....I really hate to tell the world about my favorite little hiding spot but I sense the secret will be out sooner than later. Ore Bar. It's the place I come to hide in a corner, watch kung fu movies, drink amazing, crafty, pricey beer, chat with the bartender and NOT bump into anyone I know. It's my safe place. It just happen to become that place. But since, my friend DJ'd here a couple weeks ago...it's only a matter of time before the cat is out of the bag. Don't get me wrong. The crowd gets wild here late at night. I come for happy hour and attempt to leave before it's crazy. Most of the time I am successful. The first time I came, it was a Friday. Dan was my bartender. (turns out he is also a talented musician and singer from local band "Honey") . https://honeynyc.bandcamp.com/releases There were Charles Bronson flicks on back to back. They were projected on the projector screen against the large wall in the back. From the outside this place looks like divey, old man spot, It is not. It's actually very clean and spacious and I didn't see anyone over 40. There is also a nice little patio in the back. Perfect for the summer or the smoking crowd. I have returned many, many more times. Honorable Beer Mention: Cigar City Jai Alai IPA Only Food is Zapp's Chips: $2 Cajun Dill Gator Tators= A MUST (Thanks to the random girls who shared said chips with me one night. I never said I didn't talk to people) Also check out Sage a few doors down to see Ky and David. Fridays are a fun night on this block.

    I finally had time to check this bar. They didn't have juice, not even Orange juice! Ugg ! So what makes this a 4 stars place? Is a very reserved, quiet and intimate place. The place that not to many know about, the perfect place to bring one of those forbidden loves, because no one will think of checking this place out if they are looking for you. The bar space is really nice and clean with booth style tables, my favorites. My friend had a drink and she loved it. The crowd is pleasant and beautiful.

    Great addition to the neighborhood! Rumor has it they'll be serving food and finishing off the backyard area shortly. See photos for drink list as of 05.25.13.

They had a bunch of collabs with other breweries so their taps were filled with wonderful selection of cool beers. I got here when it opened grabbed a seat at the bar. I didn't catch her name but the bartender was super nice and we chatted a bit. This bar has two tvs in the bar area and some tables in the back. It also has an outdoor area which I did not get to check out unfortunately. The only downside is, is that there is no food served here. But the upside is that you can get free Pop-corn! If you have not been here before, I would suggest stopping by. By the way whoever does their social media is super great!

But the reason I keep coming back - the sheer selection of incredible and unique beers (and reasonably priced for that manner!). Everything from the desthil spicy sour pickle beer to many variations to le chouffe, you can't go wrong! Oh and they have free popcorn as well... tough to pass up! Service has always been friendly and knowledgeable about the beers. I can already see myself back there for the next time I'm craving some delicious craft beer!

The energy was more mature which I preferred in a sports bar. Tons of benches, some bar seating and pool tables in the back. Lots of tvs as well, saw all the March Madness games playing.

We were debating between regular wings or smoked and best decision of the night was picking the smoked wings. It was crisp and not too saucy, keeping the wings as the key. Both the steak sandwich and burger were very good and well priced. I wish the burger was bigger though. Service: 5/5 There was only one waitress and one bartender at the time, but service was very quick. We did not have to wait for anything. Ambiance: 5/5 We were looking for a sports bar to eat at before going to the Nets game. Fulton Hall is only few minutes walk from Barclays. It was not crowded at all and was perfect to relax and grab a bite before going to the game.

The venue is pretty spacious they have a back dining area, a big bar when you enter and a full bar upstairs. There's a ton of televisions if you are watching sports as well. They have a pretty deep beer menu which I loved. The food menu is Irish influenced bar bites. We had the wings which were nice and crispy. The center of attention was the waffle fries nachos. You can't go wrong with a potato vehicle to fresh toppings. All and all great fun spot for sports and gatherings. Also this is a melting pot. Various ages, groups, backgrounds, saw a few families. All are welcome. One flaw is St. Patty it appeared that our waiter who was superb was the only one working so it was a bit of chase to close out.

    Solid Irish pub....i have only been here at lunch (I don't go out at night much if I'm not blowing…read moretrumpet at a gig or rehearsal). In general, I like the mellow / peaceful vibes of outer borough NYC Irish pubs at lunchtime. McMahon's did not disappoint. Solid buffalo chicken wings & good burger. I am also post fries (I will try one or two of yours, but I don't need an order of fries for myself.), so can't comment on the fries. They also make a mean Caesar salad. The Caesar & buffalo wings are pretty much my metric for all Irish pubs. McMahon's would def be in the upper 50th percentile. There are a bunch of negative reviews for this spot on here for when they are very busy, on Barclays Center game nights and / or weekends. I feel like, if you read between the lines, it's people coming in groups when it's busy acting entitled. The staff at lunch has been nothing but courteous, w/ excellent service. Also, very clean inside, & food was good quality / fresh ingredients. There are almost no Irish pubs in this area open for lunch anymore at all - thank goodness this is a good one!
