    French Onion Soup Plate
    Len L.

    Plenty of bars in this district and I have not visited them all but at least here at P McDaid, I was able to find my two favorite dishes on the menu which is the French Onion Soup and Shepard's Pie. Food was easy to order and they came pretty quick. The Shepard's Pie was creamy and fairly filling for 1 person, piping hot. The soup was perfect and not overly seasoned. Both were perfect for the night. Service was decent as this bar was filling up fast. Noise level was high but manageable. Cost was average for around $15 per item. I come back here for these two dishes again.

    Walking around midtown all morning, we were looking for a place for lunch, and we found this place and stumbled in. Located roughly halfway between Times Square and Central Park, it's in a good spot for tourists like us. Even at noon on a Wednesday, there were plenty of people at the bar, so I can imagine how rowdy and fun it gets on a weekend. It was pretty quiet in the dining area, just a few other patrons. My girlfriend and I both ordered the house brew which was an amber ale. We're both big beer nerds and thought it was excellent. My girlfriend ordered the specialty burger and I ordered the turkey burger. Both were huge, stuffed with toppings, perfectly cooked, and came with more than enough fries. We both left in a food coma, highly satisfied. We would definitely come back the next time we're in the city and would recommend to others looking for a laid back place with friendly faces and quality comfort food.

    Kinda bar that makes you feel like you're at home. Friendly staff, easy conversation. Good food and drinks. Came in on Sunday night, bar was 300 feet away from our hotel. Super convenient. We ordered drinks and the beef stew. And omg it hit the spot. Stew was hot and so so good!! They had a guy playing live music. We ate, drank and sang along. Good time, great memories. Will be back next time we're in NYC.

    Irish Curry Cheese Fries Plate
    Joe R.

    McDaid's Irish Pub was the perfect first stop on my first night in NYC! A lively, authentic Irish pub with great beers, friendly staff, and hearty pub food. The team was attentive and full of great menu suggestions. I went with something unique, the Irish curry fries topped with melted cheese and rich curry sauce, and they were fantastic! Paired perfectly with a cold Guinness. This establishment is a warm, welcoming spot with delicious comfort food. Highly recommend if that's your motto!

    Very spacious Irish bar with plenty of seats and a rich menu of food and spirits. After getting a couple of beers, we tried their Spiked hot chocolate (Bailey's Irish Cream) and did not look back. True, it is $16, but also delicious (and it comes with marshmallows). We also tried their curried fries with melted cheese and they were yummy. Overall, we enjoyed the un-rushed service, Christmas decorations and availability of tv screens. Good vibe.

    Irish Coffee !! Delish

    Went with hubby after a show. Perfect location. Despite it being very busy we were sat in 15 minutes. Staff was welcoming and friendly. Early November and the Christmas decor was beautiful. Lots of TVs for sports fans. Staff was incredible. We ordered the french onion soup and it was perfect!! Right amount of everything!! Hubby had Bangers and Mash and I had Fish and Chips again PERFECTION!! Waitress was sooo friendly and just the right amount of attentive. Highly highly recommend for perfect inclusion to your Broadway experience. For us we started a new tradition. We will be back -- you can never ever go wrong with an Irish Pub!!

    Fun Irish road sign!
    John M.

    This has the feel of a pub in Ireland. The food is delish. To be different I ordered the Curry Cheese Fries, and our waitress, who is Irish, said it's a good choice! They were excellent!

    The BEST bartenders!

    First time in NYC. The bartenders here made us feel like regulars, like family. I cannot recommend them enough. Food was delicious! Ambiance an authentic neighborhood pub. Thank you!

    What a chill place. Cool bartender from Hells Kitchen with even cooler stories of growing up in the gritty NY or a time bygone. Strong drinks. A great place to sit and relax off the bustle of 53rd. Food options are on the heavy side (and average portions). 5+ for atmosphere.

    French onion soup
    Niketa L.

    Oh my gosh!!! GO! So delicious! They were slammed but we still got our food quickly. The server forgot our cider so we didn't get to try the specialty drinks. The restaurant was decorated nicely and was warm. I had French onion soup, steak sandwich and friend had the Shepard's pie. Flawless!!!

    Chicken Pot Pie
    Deanna G.

    Great Irish pub if you're near Central Park. We stopped in after running a 5k and it was perfect. I ordered a French onion soup which was savory and satisfying. My husband got the Chicken Pot Pie which was huge! And so creamy. Definitely coming back for this one. And then I took a chance ordering a chicken quesadilla at an Irish bar but it paid off. One of the best quesadillas I've ever had.

    Ley T.

    Incredible live music and a very cozy vibe, especially during the holiday season. Fair selection of bites and quick service.

    Jessica F.

    Great casual place if you're in and are around the theater district. The service was friendly and fast. We got the fresh and cooked to order (med rare) burger. Was really surprised how good the burger was. We also split chicken quesadillas. They were just your standard run of the mill quesadillas which. I would def come back if in the area and need a place for a drink and low key bite to eat.

    Ok if you wanna ball on a budget and be in midtown come here! $9 for a freaking burger? Unheard of…read moreanywhere in the city unless you know a guy. 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!!

    We enjoy local bars ! And this bar was perfect for us to wind down with a couple of drinks…read more Great deals and not over crowded. Quick service. We are low key couple and enjoy supporting local businesses. They do offer food but we only wanted a couple of drinks. They have some booths available if you come w friends. So if you just need to wind down stop by local 42 for a drink or two!

    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.

    Great experience overall ... with a decent view of the fireworks show.... Drinks were overpriced…read moreand the DJ's music was a bit too over the top. Not the place to bring someone who may forget who they came with lol . The service was mediocre at best.. and there were not enough seats inside to accommodate more of the crowd..
