    Girls just wanna have fun
    Paula D.

    Stopped in to watch the beginning of the first World Series game between the Yankees and Dodgers. Visiting from Florida, we wanted to experience the Yankee fandom. It was very entertaining - as we had perfect seats to see the entire bar with its patrons. They don't serve food, but you can bring food in. We chose not to. We had to go up and get our own drinks. There wasn't any table service. We'd go back understanding that this is a "just for fun" kind of place!

    Great place to unwind after a busy day.

    Great place to unwind after a busy day at work. Many good memories here. Working remotely doesn't give me a chance to come here more often. But we made it a must to come back for our reunion last week. Drinks are very good as well.

    Man, I fell in love with this place. Pete, you the man! Came here for a couple of drinks to wait for my beautiful to have dinner with her ladies. Had two beer and just chilling, watching the game and literally scrolling my phone. My man Pete came over and be like" you like Jamesons?" Obvs I'm like hell yeah! Jk. I was like yes. And there goes a free shot from the bartender! Tbh idk if his the owner. But I appreciate the vibe and how I just wanna be at the corner and chill and just have my own personal time. Much appreciated it Pete! Thanks for the shot! Tip them well please ! They really do keep the price low in a area near GRAND CENTRAL!

    Awesome local Irish pub, great vibe, fantastic staff, great selection on tap ! If you are looking for your new "local", this is it!

    Great music ambiance and crowd

    Great ambiance, crowd and music. Guineas on tap. Juke box and a pool table. Sports tvs and Irish flare surround the place. A-ok!

    $4 Jose Cuervo

    Nice average divey pub. Wandered in when I was in the area because I had time to kill. Searched Yelp quickly for a bar and this spot had good reviews. Sat down and asked for tequila, the bartender informed me tonight was $4 Jose Cuervo shots and I was IN. I originally wrote this review last night as a 3 star because to me it's just a nice average pub. However, Peter the bartender was so sweet because I was by myself and he went out of his way to be super welcoming. So definitely 4 stars now!

    Empty beers

    Came here with a group of people. It was a decent little place for a group of people. The pool table seemed nice but there was such a long line I think they could do for another. The beers are very well priced and this has a quiet, removed dive bar feel. Could do with some music to lift the theme.

    RAIDERS!!!

    Step into the new 3 Monkeys, a tri-level playground of grit and glamour -- exposed brick that looks…read morelike it survived Prohibition, tin and copper ceiling tiles that wink under amber mood lighting, and a wooden bar polished by a thousand high-fives. Surrounding TVs keep every play, fight and miracle replayed in glorious surround-sass while wooden tables beg for pitchers, pretzels and conspiracy theories about the ref. Whether you're upstairs for the 3rd floor vibe, mid-level for the perfect sightline, or down in the cozy den with the best acoustics, this is New York sports bar energy: loud, a little brazen, impossibly welcoming. One particular bartender, Delaney not only brings an awesome level of energy to the bar, she saunters in like a halftime show -- a grin that's equal parts mischief and welcome. She's all quick elbows and quicker comebacks, the kind of bartender who remembers your name, your drink, and that one ridiculous story you told months ago. Her laugh is loud, her wink is devious, and she has a way of making first-timers feel like regulars by the second round. Behind the wooden bar she's choreography: expert pours, theatrical muddles, and a flourish that makes every order feel curated. Delaney's drinks are personality-packed, with her behind the bar, the place doesn't just serve drinks -- it gets its personality back. It's a place off 8th ave where fitness meets fun, and every corner feels like home--complete with friendly staff who know your name (or at least your size) and are always ready to offer a witty comeback or a perfect recommendation. Cheers!

Taking off a star because I had a weird experience with the people at the front. I'm currently recovering from an injury and I'm in a pretty obvious neck brace. I was visiting with two people who were on their way and would be arriving in about 10-15 minutes and the people at the front told me I couldn't be seated until they arrived. I understand that this is normal protocol, but I pointed out my neck brace and asked if an exception could be made because it's significantly more comfortable for me to sit down (and there was no room at the bar). They said that their manager wouldn't let them do that, and that they couldn't seat me until the rest of my party was there. There were tons of table tables available the entire time and when my friend arrived about 12 minutes later, they seated us, I totally could've sat the whole time and it wouldn't have been a problem. Not the end of the world and I probably could've pushed it harder, but it definitely was a little awkward!

We reserved for a quick bite at Redeye Grill before catching Dog Day Afternoon on Broadway, but as soon as we walked up, some bouncer told us they were closed for a private wedding reception. We were dazed and confused because how was I able to reserve online? But the real plot twist was that it ended up being the best thing that happened. We actually stumbled into Tanner Smith's thinking it'd be the typical, boring bar-food spot. Nope. They first sat us at a hi-top by the door, but that wasn't our vibe, so we grabbed seats at the bar instead. Best decision. Our bartender, Josiah, was absolutely killing it. My cocktail had passion fruit, so of course I asked my usual question: "But is it real passion fruit?" He just nodded in agreement and that told me everything I needed to know. That drink was legit and had nice strength. The food was great too. My fish tacos were packed with fresh fish, the guacamole and salsa were chunky and full of flavor and hubs enjoyed his pastrami sandwich. I have no clue when we'll be back in Midtown, but one thing's for sure- we're sitting with Josiah again.

The shepherd's pie is insanely salty and it's very off-putting. It was inedible. I was looking forward to having it but I would not in good faith recommend this to anyone. The buttermilk tenders is supposed to come with pickled shallots and marinated green beans. We didn't get the pickled shallots or the marinated green beans, which was a shame. The chicken tenders by themselves didn't have much flavor. It also is unfortunate paying $17 for what was considered a small plate and just getting the chicken tenders. The Asian-sesame wings were okay. Also, didn't have much flavor and weren't that impressive. There was also still hair on some of the pieces of chicken, so the chicken could have been cleaned better. They have fries and hand cut fries. The regular fries were soggy. Should have went with the hand cut fries. The tater tots were okay. I was told that the chicken sandwich was good. It came with a little side of rustic chips. I would not come back for the food but I would possibly go back to try a drink if I was in the area. The drink menu looked pretty good.
