Nice, and nicely priced, House cocktail menu. Enjoyed the Hampden Bound (large clear ice cube a plus!) and Paper Train ( including freshly cracked egg white = foamy top) both in appropriate glassware. Speedy service, only downside was that we were pushing the time limit for boarding our train, so we couldn't fully relax and enjoy the great drinks and fresh bustling vibe of the "new" Moynihan Train Hall. read more

This place is great! Located right in Penn Station, and where we always end up waiting for our train back home. The bar is large, with plenty of seating around the main setting. We tend to get a side table and order drinks at the bar. What is so nice is that you can sit at a table and order from the many restaurants that surround Irish Exit. We tend to sample from a few of the places but love the nearby sushi spot. read more

Located in Moynihan Train Hall - convenient place to grab a drink after work or while waiting for your train home or travel. Been here a couple of times including after work event. It definitely gets packed during peak time and during happy hour.. there are some Happy Hour specials so check them out. Order at the bar or wait for a server to come to you. They also have bar code at the table for one to scan and order and pay as well. Drinks are decent and nice to have company. Plenty of places to get food from in the area if hungry as well. Restrooms a each end of the station. read more

Attended a networking event for a professional group at Irish Exit in Moynihan Hall on a Thursday evening. The event was on a Thursday around 6:30 pm, and when I arrived the bar was packed. Irish Exit is located toward the back of Moynihan Hall near Ninth Avenue, close to the bathrooms and surrounded by various food stalls, with several large-screen televisions. It was very much a happy hour bar scene when I arrived, with loud music and a high-energy, crowded vibe. Our group had a sectioned-off area with large tables and high stools, which was helpful given how crowded the space was. It was great that our group had a designated area and a dedicated server. Service was efficient, and drinks came out quickly. I ordered two of their seasonal Talea sours (around $10), which came out within a minute of ordering and were enjoyable. We were also served pizzas and fried pickles, and it was convenient to be able to bring in food from the surrounding stalls. Overall, the space works well for large groups and casual gatherings, but it is not especially conducive to professional networking or conversation given the noise level. I would not go out of my way to return, but I would consider stopping by if I worked nearby, had time to kill, or needed a spot before catching an evening Amtrak train. read more

VERY cool spot within Penn station waiting area. Moynihan food court includes the Irish Exit pub restaurant. We ended up here for pregame drinks to Big East basketball tournament. Perfect location across from MSG. The pub is surrounded by several restaurant options plus you have the Irish menu as well. They welcome any of the food court food into restaurant. Full bar and of course Guinness. We enjoyed a live Irish music singer while we enjoyed a couple of pints and a pastrami Reuben. Service was very fast and helpful. It's a transient crowd waiting for their train so seats become available often. They do take reservations for groups of four or more. The sandwich we ordered was good not great. Guinness was perfect with no bitterness. This was the perfect pregame spot for our event. Would do again. read more

Great place to stop for a drink before catching a train. The service is fast and they can give you cocktails to go. Plenty of seating and standing space around and usually pretty busy. read more

This place is amazing! It's a centrally located Irish pub. EASY access to all the trains. Easily the best Guinness draft pour on most trips to the city. The coolest thing is you use the QR code to order from any of a half dozen different restaurants and the food is delivered to you in the large, open bar. Look for Elizabeth. She's efficient, helpful, creative and friendly. Wonderful venue, right next to the escalators to trains running in every direction. Give them a try! (It was clean, comfortable and friendly.) read more

Elizabeth, our server, was amazing. There were of course a ton of people she was waiting on but she never missed when we needed water or more drinks. She was very attentive and a fantastic server all around. I hope we have her again next time we're waiting for our train!! read more

Loved my experience here on a rainy Saturday summer night. I had a bit to wait for my Amtrak to Albany and found this gem in the gorgeous Moynihan Hall. It was during the US Open and they were serving a frozen version of the famed Honey Deuce with a souvenir glass. Life changing. The bartenders were fun to watch at work as they were true experts. The bar was clean and had plenty of room. Will definitely stop in again when in the City. read more

Thank goodness for the Irish Exit, from the folks who gave us The Dead Rabbit. I'm a New Yorker who recently moved to Philadelphia and I frequently travel back and forth between cities. I do not own a car so I've become an Amtrak regular as well as a barfly. There are so many cocktails to sit and sip with creative names like Do Not Disturb (Martini), Pullman Sleeper (Manhattan), Irish Cawfee. Plus wines, beers, drafts, and Non alcoholic drinks. The bartender's are very kind and service is swift. I also like meeting my fellow travelers along the way who all spin good tales. 5 stars! . read more

Irish Exit in Penn Station is a pre-concert cheat code. Sat down, scanned a QR code, and had food and drinks delivered right to the table--no lines, no chaos. Best part? A double bourbon was $24... which feels like a steal when you realize the same thing inside Madison Square Garden is pushing $50. Do yourself a favor and stop here first. read more

The Irish Exit is a large-ish bar in Moynihan. Lots of bar seating and lots of tables. They have barcodes you can scan so you order and pay from the table. That gave me time to get a drink before my train. And the drink was actually really good (a special - a passionfruit cocktail). Not a bad place for a cocktail, a pint of beer, and more, before a train. read more

A fun, vibey bar in the middle of a super busy Moynihan Train Hall. You know you get older and wiser when you schedule meetups at train stations which are equally convenient for all friends with adult bedtimes. Their Irish brews on tap were super cheap too read more

This is a pretty decent bar to be in the middle of Moynihan Train Station given the chaos around. This was my second occasion coming here and I was greeted by the same bartender from my first experience. Very welcoming, clean, and fairly quick to get my order in. This is a major hub so it's always busy and you may have to wait a few minutes for your drink but it's absolutely worth the wait. I had the pleasure of having two handcrafted cocktails made by Caleb and the flavor profile was amazing! I highly recommend his daiquiri; fruity but not too sweet. I ordered a second drink to go and truly enjoyed my experience and travel home with my to go cup. I look forward to stopping here again. read more

Bar with a lot of drinks. No food from the bar, but they have QR codes at the table/bar so you can order to the seat from the surrounding restaurants. The area can be roped off, but generally people were using it for all the restaurants and sitting, eating, talking and drinking. I like the little train display board that displays fun facts. Servers were fine, some interesting drinks in the book, and you can get food delivered. Have had better selection (they have some draft and some bottled/canned beers), but not a bad place to hang before a train. read more

We decided to have drinks at the Irish Exit while waiting for our Amtrak train to depart Moynihan Station. Hands down the best Espresso Martini. Also ordered a draft Brooklyn Lager. An Espresso Martini costs $18 but that's the average price wherever you go in the tri-state area. Definitely worth it! read more

I had about 30-35 mins before boarding the Amtrak and decided to grab a quick beer here. It's so convenient being right in front of the food hall and just around the corner from all the gates. Very nice and clean. I don't think you can go wrong for a quick pitstop. read more

Great place to grab a drink before your train, whether it's the LIRR or Amtrak. This is an offshoot from their home base, the Dead Rabbit, which is a NYC staple. You can order via the QR code, but the bartenders are attentive and will help you within a few minutes of you sitting down. Great drinks, and can pour a proper pint. Easily recommend if you're killing time read more

I am adding to my original review to express appreciation for the business owner reply. Thanks! I also wanted to say that the split flap board (it's called a Solari board) is gorgeous and sounds great. I had to look up the term. That's the thing over the bar. It's what they used to have in the 1960s and 1970s, which has been replaced by digital signage. Like those early "digital" alarm clocks -- it's electromechanical, and it makes a distinctive clickety-clack noise when it changes. Whoever spec'd this for Irish Exit, bravo. It's mesmerizing. read more

Horrible experience with a Latina bartender named Lori (I believe). My boyfriend and I decided to take a day trip and stopped by this bar (love their Atlanta location). Yesterday I found out that both my father and my cousin are in the hospital (separate ones) and both aren't doing well (both cancer). We stopped by The Irish Exit for a drink. I ordered a Bloody Mary and a bloody Maria (I cannot drink vodka it's a Bloody Mary with tequila). We paid, the waitress She gave us our drinks. He asked her which was which? She bats her eyes and says "I'm not sure. When we made eye contact, I lost track and forgot, you're going to have to taste them both to figure it out." Then she smiles and walks away. He asked me, "what did she say?" He was shocked. I was so flustered because it was so unprofessional and cold. He tried to guess and I refused his guess and asked the other bartender to have her come back over to clear it up/remake.. SHE REFUSED so I asked for a manager. She comes over after the manager and denies what I said. lol. What is happening in the world. I don't care about her blatant & disrespectful flirtation because that's something that insecure people do. I can show grace for that. But don't mess up my drink Lady. that we PAID for. It was really shocking. I was upset and the manager reprimanded me instead of apologizing. Like I was the problem and not the customer. I caught a stray then got shunned for getting hit. And she's insisted on putting it in a to go cup. I have no idea why but I dealt with it since I was treated like I was the Problem. What is this world coming to? Absolutely DISGUSTING. The gaslighting. The coldness from the manager. Such mean people Stay away from this place. read more

My lovely bride and I were wandering around the Moynihan Train Hall and we needed a quick and cold drink.

Highly recommended. read more

Great spot for a quick Bev. I had an espresso martini (they call it the martini express) which was quite good. A bit pricey but what can you expect for a NYC train station. Amazingly, the espresso martini was actually on tap. This created very quick service. My friend got a lemonade which was quite the production as it was stirred. It was clear that a lot of care goes into these drinks despite the bustling location. read more

What a great surprise. We stopped in here for what was supposed to be a quick drink before we went home. I had the dirty Martini. I told the bartender that I don't like my martinis too dirty and he still suggested I try it. It's premade. I was really happy. Excellent. Service is definitely very good. Very happy and pleasant people to deal with very fast ended up having multiple drinks and the crisps which were delicious. Perfect level of vinegar and salt. read more
