    Guinness

    Came to this Irish pub since it was near my hotel and had a beer while I waited for my to go order. The server and I had a miscommunication but Celeste the owner I believe, was able to resolve the issue with so much love and grace! As for the food... the reviews on the chicken pot pie were not lying! WOW! The best I've ever had. 10/10. Celeste was amazing and so was the food. Anytime I come to New York I will be stopping by.

    We returned - for the delightful service & excellent food! My pot pie was as good as I remembered. Husband had the corned beef, fries and slaw again. The sandwich wasn't as big as the remembered, and even though a tad drier, it was as good as the crispy fries and just right creamy slaw. We sat at a high top, which was perfect for people watching. There is an area in the back with tables for small and large groups. We love the Irish vibes, and especially our dark haired Irish wait staff (Catherine?). Perfect!

    Dying for a good pint of Guiness and found Scallywag's. Jackpot!! Great pint turned into pintS!! Bartender lady was extremely funny, friendly and just great. Loved the old school irish pub feel too. Cannot wait to be back. Was informed that the chicken pot pie and shepherds pie are delicious so we are looking forward to trying them

    This is my spot! When you're in the mood for a Irish pub close to Penn Station and Port Authority, this is your place! We went on a Friday night when they have live music. We had a few snacks as well (mozzarella sticks and fries) which hit the spot late night. It's a classic Irish pub with Guinness and Jameson of course! Staff are friendly and even gave us a free shot! Def recommend checking out this spot especially on a Friday night!

    Came to Scallywags last night for the Shepard's Pie. It was the best ever Shell Pie! Cathy is a fantastic bar tender who pours the perfect Guinness. Back again tonight, this time for the bangers and mash. Another outstanding meal and perfect Guinness pour. Scallywags does not disappoint. A wonderful neighborhood pub. Already looking forward to my next trip to New York.

    Pretty typical Irish pub, was there for Knicks game. Good specials and good was good and quick…read more Good energy

    The "Perfect" Pint is apparently a far cry from reality…read more Our server, Ruffino, seemed perfectly cordial at first, but that changed rather quickly when we discovered a 20% automatic gratuity added to our bill without any prior notice. We didn't find out about this little surprise until the check was placed on our table. Nothing like discovering an extra charge at the end of your meal that apparently everyone was supposed to know about except the customers. We went downstairs to the host stand and asked to speak with a manager. We were informed that there was no manager on duty--apparently, just a staff of bartenders. When we questioned the automatic gratuity, we were told that all orders over $100 automatically receive a 20% gratuity. There was just one small problem: we had never been informed of this policy, nor did we see it posted anywhere. We politely asked for the charge to be removed since it had not been disclosed to us. We were told there was "nothing that could be done." Naturally, we then went back to Ruffino and asked to speak with his boss. We were promptly brought the exact same person we had already spoken with downstairs--who then proceeded to tell Ruffino to remove the gratuity. So apparently, there was something that could be done. Good to know. Unfortunately, the situation then went from questionable customer service to outright disrespect. During the interaction, our experience working in the food service industry was insulted, and we were told, and I quote: "I feel bad for whatever establishment you worked for because I know it was S**T. Get the F**K out and never return." Classy. For the record, there were only four people in our party. The establishment's own gratuity guidelines state that a 20% automatic gratuity applies to parties of six or more, not four. So let's recap: * A 20% gratuity was added without being disclosed. * We were told it applied because our order exceeded $100. * We were unable to find this policy posted anywhere. * We were initially told nothing could be done about the charge. * Someone subsequently instructed Ruffino to remove it, proving that something could, in fact, be done. * And when we questioned the situation, we were insulted and told to leave and never come back. Honestly, the last part was the easiest request to accommodate. If "Perfect" is supposed to describe the customer experience here, I'd hate to see what happens at an establishment that's merely average. As for the request to "never return"--don't worry. We won't. Some establishments manage to make that decision remarkably easy for you.

    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.

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.

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.
