There's something appropriate about ending up in a good old-fashioned Irish pub during a torrential downpour. You kinda expect bearded men in sweaters downing pints of Guinness while dancing a happy jig. But this was Midtown Manhattan, not out on the Dingle Peninsula. After visiting The Morgan Library for the first time, Jamie W and I were happy to find this place through the rainstorm when it was mostly empty on a weekday afternoon. We already knew we wanted a bar that makes Espresso Martinis. Indeed they do with Absolut Vanilia Vodka and Kahlua espresso for $18 (Photo 9). Maybe it was the inclement weather, but they sure hit the spot. While we weren't looking for a meal, we were impressed with their extensive food menu and decided to split the $17 Uber Bavarian Pretzel with a mustard cheese dip (Photo 10). It was a bit pricey but easily munchable. Even without a brogue, the bartender was really amiable, so we just hung out at the bar as commuters and other regulars came in for their pints. COCKTAILS / FOOD - 5 stars...espresso martinis the right way AMBIANCE - 4 stars...spacious, only 11 years old SERVICE - 5 stars...great bartender TOTAL - 5 stars...happy enough to do a jig RELATED - Hungry in NYC?

Went here on a Friday after work. Bartenders were very friendly, and quick with your drinks. Even when it picked up. Place is large, a solid pub feel with plenty of bar front seating. Plenty of TVs for the sports peeps! They know how to build a pint. IYKYK!!! Didn't order much for food just some finger stuff. But it all came out fast and hot! Wings were some of the best I had in the area. Only disgruntlement was price for drinks. Ahhh midtown prices for this Suburban kid. Ha ha ha. Two thumbs up!!! Have and will continue to visit here!! read more

Very popular for big game nights as it has multiple TVs. Average age was 22 and very frat finance bro vibe Service was great despite how busy it was Drinks are solid. Calamari was surprisingly delicious, cauliflower bites were great as well. Spinach and artichoke dip was average. read more

Normal corporate bar in midtown. Extremely crowded. However it's very spacious and the service surprisingly was actually good and not slow. read more

Two-story, commuter bar (they have the LIRR schedule downstairs on a monitor). Bartenders were very busy, and an area on the second floor had been marked off for a company happy hour. Difficult to get attention of the staff but reasonable price. read more

Our party of six planned a quick business lunch and Stout was recommended by one of the luncheon guests. We arrived around 1:00pm and were quickly ushered to a large booth. The restaurant was quiet with just a few patrons dining. Two of my guests, and frequent diners at this pub recommended "the bowls". We ordered: (1) Mediterranean Bowl - feta, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, chickpeas, kalamata olives, red cabbage, pickled onions, baby arugula & hummus, lemon tahini dressing. $19 (2) Asian Chopped Salads with Chicken - edamame, scallion, red cabbage, carrot ribbons, cucumber, black kale, kimchi peanuts, sesame & brown rice, miso-ginger dressing. $27 (3) Burrito Bowls with Chicken - black beans, roasted corn, cotija, pico de gallo, chili dusted tortilla chips, cilantro lime rice & tomatillo ranch. $26 A lemonade and an ice tea were also ordered, the other four diners had water. The total before tip was $172. My Mediterranean Bowl was very good, properly dressed and easy to consume. The latter is important at business luncheons. Everyone else said their bowls were good, and they were all empty prior to the conclusion of our lunch. Service was good throughout lunch, and I'd be happy to return. Though there was nothing exceptional about our meals, they were good, they were served promptly and the were properly executed. Sorry no pics, as this was a business lunch. read more

Not great, gang. $12 for a warm, heady Guiness. This place is not cozy, but probably isn't supposed to be. An urban club masquerading as an Irish pub. Service was fine. Attentive staff. Unfriendly bouncer at the door on a Tuesday at 5. Maybe it gets rowdy with the midtown after work crew. I don't know and I won't be finding out. Good for large groups, I guess. read more

Stopped in on a Monday afternoon @4 for some well deserved celebratory drinks with my client after a very long road to closing. Upon arrival the place was still a little slow and we opted to sit right at the bar. We both started with Watermelon Frosés as we collectively took a sigh of relief that we finally made it to the finish line. As we sat and chatted we were checked on by a couple of the bartenders who floated around the bar. Neither of us were particularly hungry so we decided on one more cocktail each for the road. My client went with an Espresso Martini for a little "pick me up" and I went with the Running Wild, a recommendation from one of the bartenders. A mix of Bacardi Rum, blackberry syrup, fresh lime juice, mint, splash of club, it reminded me more of a refresher than a cocktail. As we were wrapping up Stout began to get pretty busy and loud. With 2 levels I'm sure they can get packed. Service / Ambiance / Drinks were ok, not sure I will run back but when in the area for future closings I may pop back in. Just A Note: We didn't see nor were we offered a Happy Hour menu, so not sure if they offer one. Four (4) cocktails with tax and tip (no food) , was just under $100. read more

Thursday night in June. The bar was packed. Body to body people. We had a table in the back but good vibes walking through the crowd. Our waiter, Charlene was on point. Offered IPA selections , as well as food. We were all pleased with our choices! The people in group were also pleased with wings. read more

Very good burgers! I went with a group and everyone liked what they ordered. We were a large group and the staff was accommodating. We were able to wait at the bar area while the rest of our group showed up. Will definitely return if I'm in the area! read more

Yelp listed this as an Irish pub. It's really a yuppie bar! Only Irish beer it had is Guinness. The ambience is not an Irish pub and the food didn't seem to look like it was Irish either. If you're looking for an Irish pub several better choices in the local area. read more

Pretty decent sports bar chain. This location is close to GCT ENTRANCE - nice greeting at the host station AMBIANCE - rustic Irish bar dark wood decor. Kind of cool. Lots of flat screens for sports viewing NOISE - very very loud. Hard to hold a conversation LIGHTING - very dark and a little difficult to read menu MENU - your basic pub and grub LIBATIONS - full bar with cool cocktails PRICES - par for midtown Manhattan It's worth a try if you are in the area read more

Stouts is a fun place however there is a rainbow manager that has zero respect for his employees in how he portrays his demeanor and attitude towards them.. My past 2 visits he talks very nastily to his constituents and as great as Stouts is, you have to respect your workers. read more

A nice post-work happy hour spot. The space is large with two stories! My experience is based on attending an event that had the upstairs space booked, which may be different than that of a walk-in or individual dining experience. The staff was exceptional and checked in on each diner if they needed anything. The servers brought out endless appetizers during the event time, which were yummy. The tacos were filling and yummy, as well as the chicken bao buns. Would recommend if you're looking for a spot with a convenient location (right next to Grand Central) that has private event space. The staff is very attentive. read more

I came here after work with some coworkers around 5:30 pm and it was packed. The upstairs area was reserved for a private event but there's a smaller room in the back that wasn't reserved. We were kind of overwhelmed with how busy it was but if you just ask a server they will seat you/find a spot for you. We shared the chicken fingers (which we asked for tossed in buffalo sauce) and fries. I got a Downeast cider. They just give it to you in a can, no cup. Chicken fingers and fries were good. This is a great spot for mingling and the crowd was (young) professionals. read more

I only come to this location for special events like holiday parties or birthdays it seem. The space is fantastic. Very Spacious big bar area too. This past time I was here it just rubbed me the wrong way. I waited what felt like 10 min for a bartender to come over and ask me what I wanted. Mind you I was standing right there at the bar and there were 4 or 5 of them working at bar area. Yes it was kinda busy but they kept walking by me. Finally one of them came up to me and so I ordered an Espresso martini. And then like 5 min later another bartender comes up to me and asks what I want to drink and I said I ordered already and he gave me an odd look. Anyways, the espresso martini was very tasty but sad they didn't put espresso beans on top like most places do. This is located right by Grand Central so It is a good spot to drop in for some food and drinks before you have to catch your train. The food looks very good here. read more

What a team of rockstars! We hosted our annual party here last week and everything was topnotch. We had about 80 people and had the entire upstairs bar area. Itzel, Antonio and the rest of the team were so accommodating and incredibly welcoming hosts. The food was great, we picked a variety of passed plates like lobster rolls, the Korean Chicken Bao buns, mac n cheese lolipops and a few other items. Everything was a hit. If we have our event again next year, I would 100% come back to this Stout location to host it here. read more

I think you need to tell Giorgia to stop talking to friends and pouring half your liquor into their glasses and take care of her customers. Glass literally sat empty, right next to said friend while she just laid on her sob story about life for 10 minutes. Then she came back to him to complain about a customer asking her to speed it up. Bro, I get it. She just sits over in her corner and does nothing for good paying customers. It's sad. Enough with the drama girl. read more

A true Irish bar. Great beer, good food and amazing service! This place passes the Guinness test. I asked the staff how many parts it takes when pouring a Guinness and got the right answer. The right answer is 3 but most places in NYC pour it in 2 parts which is perfectly acceptable. The Guinness was perfect. 10/10 Their Stout Burger with special sauce was excellent. 10/10. Their special sauce reminds me of the secret sauce from the movie Good Burger. It took your average burger and made it amazing. The ambiance vibes are chill. You get more of a commuter crowd since it is so close to Grand Central. They even have a GCT terminal board inside which is such a good move. The service here is exceptional. Emma is a fabulous bartender from Monaghan Ireland and knows her stuff. Bartender ranking 10/10 (friendly, knowledgeable, and funny) A perfect spot. read more

We were looking for a bar that would televised the f1 sprint race and couldn't really find another one besides feile in Manhattan area. We walked into Stout and asked nicely if we can watch the sprint race and they were super cool and changed one of their many TVs at the bar to the race. Awesome service and very low key and not crowded, exactly the vibes we going for. read more

Stout is your quintessential post-work watering hole. It's right next to Grand Central (has screens inside that show train times) and a multitude of beers on draft along with bottles/cans ranging from your classic Budlight to stouts/IPAs for the more adventurous. It's very spacious - two floors with bars on each, high tops and more seating towards the back if you plan on sitting down longer for food. Perfect for a group of friends to catch up over drinks. Fair warning, it gets loud but that's to be expected. Menu is full of your typical bar food and that's what a friend and I went with on a recent visit. The food is nothing to write home about... - Street Fries: Plate of fries covered with melted monterey jack & cheddar cheeses and topped with beef barbacoa and pickled red onions. Tasted pretty good but the fries were soggy. - Buffalo Chicken Wings: Mehh. I think they were lightly battered but it was sitting in the sauce too long and the breading was coming off. read more

told us to sign the check before seeing it? we asked for the check before signing and the bartender got very aggressive. we all work in the industry and none of us have ever experienced that. awful. dont come unless you want your total to be a surprise. read more

Came here twice- once for lunch with colleagues and another time for after work drinks and appetizers with coworkers too. Both times were different experiences as it were different parts of the day. For lunch time we got there before the rush so we had the place to ourselves plus we had a lot of waitstaff around. For after work time, it was a bit nuts and who knew that there would be so many people. The food and the drinks weren't bad. So, I suggest to go with colleagues, but not that great if going with your friends. Especially after work hours and it is right by Grand Central Terminal. Btw, if you want virgin drinks or non-alcoholic beer like Heineken, they have it in a glass bottle for you just like a regular beer. I got this cocktail called spring break and it was so good. I suggest it if you want something else vs the typical beer or glass of wine. read more

Burger was just ok Had to send fries back to kitchen, they we're not crispy as asked. No soda available since the tap machine was broken. They did not have the bourbon I ordered. Had to go find the manager to ask for additional ketchup. I will not return here. read more

I'm giving it three stars rather than two because it never amounted to any truly terrible thing other than being rather plain, overpriced and with incredibly bad service (there were three tables and we had to flag down our server who was standing chatting and texting by the bar area and wait long periods to order and to get our food).' As restaurants go, it was harmless and probably gets a great crowd with the after work crowd or the sports crowd or some crowd. Just not the lunch crowd. If anything the Yelpers who have reviewed this place anything above 2 1/2 stars need to be taken to task and given zero stars for their incredibly off the mark reviews. Their burger was NOT the best or even mildly better than others. It was a burger. Nothing bad. Just a burger. Though kudos to the cooks for getting the medium rare part right. My husband's meal was ok. The artichoke dip appetizer was something out of a Fridays or Applebees or one of those places. But live and learn. You know what they say, "once you've try stout, you never go back." It doesn't rhyme. We just literally will never go back. read more

The burger is honestly really good, however it's already pretty pricey and charging 2.5 per topping is a little outrageous. The one time we ordered an app it came out after the burger but overall a solid sports bar with a solid burger read more

We went here on our first night in New York! We picked here just because it was one for eh few places open. We were pleasantly surprised and will likely go again tonight. We enjoyed excellent service, the eclectic chill vibe and great food. We had the burger and shepherd's pie the first trip. Service was prompt and friendly. Our drinks were also good! read more

By far the worst experience at an alleged sports bar. I came to watch the Packers and ended up at the club I've spent my entire life avoiding. There was no one there and yet we had to wait for a table, and when we finally got one we got to celebrate with a flat beer. Go. Pack. Go. read more

Stout is my favorite sports bar in NYC. They have multiple locations around the city and are always spacious and have a great energy for any game. Hockey, football, baseball, even rugby. They have some of my favorite bar foods and I haven't been disappointed by anything I've tried yet. This bar is great because it has a great bar area but also a more secluded, quieter dining area too. Nowhere better to watch a game with a group or grab a beer by yourself read more

Mediocre food. Slightly high price point for brunch on a Sunday. Service was spotty at best. Would not return for food. (Have enjoyed meeting friends for drink after work.) read more

I came to drink with coworkers after work and sat outside. The 39th street location was way too crowded. It got cold quickly once the sun went down more. You have to order through a QR code that takes you to an app. I didn't have issues but I think others did. Some codes didn't scan properly. We got loaded fries, artichoke dip, and beers. They didn't give us napkins and we had to flag them down. The dip was very chunky. I also ordered water on the app but they took awhile for just that but not the beers. Service was ok. read more

They advertised $1 oysters on their signage out front. Got sat at a high top quickly, but the server took forever in taking our orders. They said they ran out of oysters thirty minutes earlier. Whatever, I'll just get something else. Watermelon frose drink that they advertised as a summer drink was so bad and tasted like the rind of a watermelon. I had the server take back the drink and thankfully he took it off our bill. Food came out quickly, but the server didn't bring us water or napkins until after we got our dinner. It was bar food, so at least that wasn't mucked -- hard to mess up a burger. It took them 20 minutes after we were finished eating for the bill to arrive. After we left at 8:30, the sign out front was still advertising $1 oysters... pull that back in if you're out of oysters, or at the very least throw a sticky saying you ran out at 6pm. I will no longer be trusting restaurants with more TVs than serving staff. read more

Stopped by this bar because I was headed to the Mets vs Padres playoffs game and needed a spot to meet to take the train to grand central with a friend. I've walked by this spot hundreds of time but had never been inside before. The service was a bit slow (they weren't that busy) but the spicy chicken sandwich I got was phenomenal. And the artichoke dip my friend got (all the hot enough to burn your entire face off) was also very good. Padres won, lfg read more

Fine for beer. Food with a group, not so fine. Hockey puck of a burger (they may have no idea what "medium" is) though the fries were good. Limited selection of cheese (American and white cheddar). The decaf is not bottomless; would've been nice had the server mentioned that up front. Service was marginal at best and should have told our large party before we sat down, separate checks aren't permitted. read more

We stopped in for a late lunch; it was pretty busy due to the weekend so service was on the slow side - but understandable considering the crowd. Staff was friendly.
