Came here for happy hour and sat at the bar. The service was a little on the slow side, but good and friendly. We also ordered their happy hour quesadilla which was really tasty but kinda small. We also ordered their fries which were also tasty, and a fair size. It was kinda busy and a little noisy, but still a fine place to catch up if you are OK with speaking loudly. It was just two of us, so we got seats, but you might have to stand if you are with a larger group. read more

My friend Joyce and I stopped in The Joyce because... how could we not!! We had a lot of fun taking pictures w my Joyce and the outside sign and the menu. I only had time to order one drink but it was really good. Our bartender was great and I really enjoyed the singer. Totally will come here again as it's an easy walk to the train station. read more

On vacation and checked in to our hotel and the employee at the desk recommended this restaurant and gave us a 10% discount card for it. Joyce is my late mother's name. We came to Joyce's to try to watch the game and eat and they had no seats only standing room at the bar. We left and the hostess caught us walking down the street and said they found us a table. The restaurant was packed most people watching the Knicks and Spurs Finals basketball game. I ordered a Love's Old Sweet Song cocktail it was very good. I also had a turkey burger and fries and it was excellent. Best turkey burger I have ever eaten. Thick turkey patty that was moist and well seasoned. My husband had a cheeseburger and enjoyed it. My son had the calamari and he said it was very good. My other son also enjoyed his buffalo wings. We also had guacamole and chips and they were good. It also came with salsa that was not good. We had a good time watching the game, great vibes and enjoyed the food and drinks so we would definitely come back here when we are in town. read more

STEPH JUDGEMENT: In a town with no shortage of Irish pubs, this one has some extra stuff going for it. When I was perusing the google maps near our hotel, the name of this place stood out. I'd been to an Irish pub in Switzerland also with the name Joyce in it--he was actually buried in Zurich. The ratings looked favorable so we decided to check it out on the afternoon we got in. It was about 4:30, so Happy Hour had just started and the place was yet quite empty. It's huge, by the way, with charming Irish-style flourishes and decorations that was actually not cheesy. No huge st paddy's day countdown clock or shamrocks everywhere--dare I say it was kind of classy? We ordered: - Steamed Mussels with crostini (lots of plump mussels in a surprisingly spicy broth; the grilled crostini was meh, however) - Happy hour Mozzarella sticks (just ok) - Roasted cauliflower salad (delicious with lots of different elements and not overdressed) They had a sign saying "10% discount on all hotel guests". Not sure how much area the "all" encompasses, but we were staying a few doors down and got the discount. The food was just ok, but the ambiance, service, and discount put it up in the solid 4 star category for us! read more

One of the many wonderful things that New York has are Irish pubs. And the Joyce Public House is one of the good ones on West 39th Street closer to 8th Avenue than 9th. We grabbed a couple of high tops at the bar where we enjoyed some cocktails while the speakers played a barrage of 80s tunes. Their Irish coffee was stout and was a solid balance of whiskey and coffee dreams. Their Ruby Bloom was super good -- a little fruity and sweet but packs a punch between the whiskey, Aperol, and amaro used. My wife went for her standard G&Ts with different types of gin we hadn't has before like the HaPenny -- named after the famed bridge in Dublin. Our bartender was friendly and cheerful. I think she was from Ireland as well as the manager. Very fun bar to hand out for drinks, and their food menu looked solid even though we didn't eat there. read more

Delicious food as was the case last visit. Comfy, clean environment. Service was extremely slow however that was likely due to the influx of people from Comic Con, a big Soccer game, and a Lord of the Rings fan meetup taking up the back dining area. Overall, I would return but I admittedly did not have as great an experience as I did in August. read more

Our hotel was in the area so we decided to check this place out based on the great yelp reviews. We arrived around 4:30 on a Tuesday afternoon and the bar area was definitely very busy, but this location is quite large so there were plenty of seating options available if you wanted to have a beverage or want to grab some food. They do offer an extensive menu and while we were not looking for food, there are quite a few items on the menu that caught our eye. They do have two beers that are proprietary to the Joyce public house. One of them is an ale and the other is a lager. We were able to try both, but ultimately chose the ale. The Joyce lager was a little too hoppy for us. They do have a decent beer selection both on draft as well as in cans or bottles. They also offer a full bar Monday through Friday. They do offer happy hour from 4 to 7 PM so you can get a pint of beer for around six dollars if it is considered an import or five dollars if it is considered a domestic read more

I really enjoyed the $20 cheeseburger, which comes with fries. The burger was soft and fell apart in my hands when I ripped it into pieces. I ordered it medium-well with A1 sauce, and the fries had a crispy, crunchy outer shell with a soft potato center. I didn't order a drink, but I recommend this place for a small group of friends. It gets packed quickly. My only complaint is that I waited about 40 minutes for the burger. However, it was high quality, so I can't complain too much--but be prepared for a wait. read more

This Pub House was on the same street as our Hotel we were stuck at during the Blizzard. It did not disappoint. What a great place! Great comfort foods & fantastic bar. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of food & service. My friend had the mussels & Roasted Beets & Arugula salad. I had the short rib grilled cheese w/fries. I came back that same night & had their clam chowder w/a caesar salad. Really a great place with a well rounded menu. read more

I planned a work event with Joyce Public House and the experience could not have been more pleasant. I worked with Helen over email and then Joey (the manager), as well as David and Wendy (bartenders) in person. Everyone was absolutely lovely and the whole group had a great time. We ordered an assortment of bites, but the definite crowd favorite was the coconut shrimp. I will definitely be back! read more

Excellent place. All the bartenders are great and attentive. Great service and food!! Highly recommend!!

Food was great and so were the drinks and service. The Nina Malbec and dirty fries were very yummy.

Great good and bar menu, and great for happy hour before an event at MSG. Service is always friendly.

My friend and I came here for dinner. The interior looked really cool with nice, interesting decor. It was pretty spacious and had a chill vibe. I ordered the Double Cut Pork Chop, which was served with turnip purée, carrots, and apple bourbon glaze. That Pork Chop was huge, as well as thick. It was delightfully tender, juicy, and well seasoned. The carrots were cooked well, and the glaze was tasty, especially with the addition of apples. I wasn't a fan of the turnip puree, which had sort of an earthy taste. I would have preferred Truffle and Parmesan Fries. My friend and I shared the Molten Chocolate Cake with pistachio ice cream. This was quite yummy, but would have liked a bit more of a gooey chocolate filling. The chocolate cake was rich, sweet, while the ice cream was wonderfully nutty, creamy, and smooth. Service was pretty good. Prices were reasonable, especially considering the Midtown area. I would return to try the Pan Roasted Cod Fish with lobster mashed potatoes. read more

I took my sister and my great nieces to see the Lion King on Broadway in NY. I decided to enjoy some "me time" after the show and I stopped by The Joyce on 39th St near Times Square to partake in happy hour. My server was really sweet and she recommended the mussels which is one of my favorite shell fish. The broth was rich with a garlic and tomato wine sauce served with grilled bread. I also enjoyed a few adult beverages. The atmosphere was laid back and chilled. It kinda had that nostalgic New York feel which I enjoyed. read more

Stopped in for a casual lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the food. The menu offers hearty, classic comfort dishes with generous portions, and everything we tried was flavorful and filling. The kitchen clearly knows what it's doing, and the place feels like a neighborhood spot locals enjoy. That said, the service experience was a bit uncomfortable, especially around how gratuity was handled, which took away from an otherwise solid visit. Overall, good food and potential here, but a smoother, more transparent approach would make it a much better experience. read more

In preparation of Yelp's #ThankYouThursday, I wanted to thank The Joyce Public House for their great service, warm atmosphere, and delicious food! This is a go-to for me and for my family when they are in town. The manager always remembers us and comes over to say hello. We have gotten to know a few of the servers and bartenders and we always have an enjoyable experience here. They have TONS of bar seating so it is never too hard to get a table, even at peak times. They have a great variety of food and the food is much more elevated than other pubs in the area. My two favs are the fish and chips and Pumpkin Ravioli! Thank you, The Joyce, for continuing to provide great service in Midtown! read more

Thank yoy and God bless. read more

Came here for happy hour on a Friday afternoon and their's is definitely worth it! The price and quality is a wonderful breath of fresh air! They have both happy hour drinks and food. Most of the hh food was around $12 and the drinks were a great deal. The huge plate of lemony, garlic beer mussels for $12 along with a $6 beer were the greatest surprises. The seasonal flatbread with mushrooms and balsamic was really good as well. I also really enjoyed the chicken quesadilla that came pan fried with butter or oil and came with guacamole. It is a large irish pub. The bar seems like a great place to watch a game, but also have quieter seating where you can take a date to dinner. The service was pretty good. The staff were all really nice. The bussers checked in on us often and made sure our waters were never empty. Our server was nice when they were around. They noted they were understaffed, but noticed our server was on their cell phone or socializing whenever we needed their attention. read more

Choosing a place to dine in NYC can be overwhelming, simply due to the sheer numbers and varieties of options. We stopped in this establishment mainly due to the proximity of our hotel.

A great spot to grab a drink and a bite to eat on 39th. We walked in from a nearby hotel and were happy with our experience.

Loved it! We stumbled across it while walking and looking for food. We came on a Saturday around 6:30p and it wasn't crowded. Upon our arrival and request for a table of 5, we were told they had quite a few reservations for the evening, but we were still seated immediately. Someone was putting up an Argentinians in New York banner, so it probably was going to get crowded soon. I have to say, there was no bad or ugly with the place. Everything was GREAT! First is the menu and their Pre Fixe options...oh wait, there was one bad: They did not have any pumpkin ravioli listed in the appetizer section! We ordered the kale salad instead, and it was sooo good! We also had the mussels, which were superb! Main entrees were the salmon and steak. Both were delightful! One other person ordered the fish n chips, which looked standard. Dessert was molten chocolate cake w ice cream and creme brulée. OMG, these were good. The cake came with this raspberry sauce and powdered sugar sprinkled on the plate that added the perfect touch. I ate the ice cream separately since the cake was soo good. Then there are the drinks; I don't remember the name, but the Aperol drink listed first was tasty with a good kick! Others enjoyed the mocktail (yes, they have a mocktail list) with lavender and margaritas. This is definitely worth checking out. The service was prompt, kind, and friendly. All in all, we were very happy with our dinner selection! read more

It's a pleasant place with many TVs tuned to sporting events. The wait staff was friendly. We ordered the butternut squash ravioli, a tofu coconut curry and a pistachio crusted salmon. It was very tasty, but the person with the salmon said there wasn't much pistachio on it. We also ordered artichoke spinach dip, which was OK, but we all agreed it was too runny dripping off the chips and they didn't give us enough chips to eat all of the dip. We had to ask for more chips and they tried to charge us three dollars for them, but we had them take it off the bill. It's located right around the corner from Port of Authority bus terminal so it was a short walk after dinner for some of us to catch our bus. For the rest of us was a reasonably short walk back to Penn Station. We all agreed that we Here's a refined version of your review: This is a pleasant spot with plenty of TVs showing various sports events, making for a lively atmosphere. The wait staff was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. We ordered the butternut squash ravioli, tofu coconut curry, and pistachio-crusted salmon. The food was flavorful, though the salmon could have used more pistachio topping, according to the person who ordered it. For appetizers, we had the artichoke spinach dip, which tasted fine but was too runny--it kept dripping off the chips. Additionally, there weren't enough chips for the amount of dip, and when we requested more, they initially tried to charge us $3. Thankfully, they removed the charge when we asked. The location is very convenient, just around the corner from the Port Authority bus terminal and within a reasonable walking distance of Penn Station. This made it easy for our group to head home after dinner. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and agreed we'd come back again. read more

Pre-marathoner race dinner at the pub with a lot of my friends. If you have a large party to host for a dinner then this is a great place. The mood is amazing and the service is too.

I appreciate the ramps to help my friends move around the pub. read more

My husband and I went for a late night dinner after a Broadway show. It was near the hotel we were staying at. They stop serving dinner at 10:30pm but the bar is open until 12 pm. We arrived at 9:30 pm so there was not many people eating . The waiter was very nice . He provided water for the table in bottles. I ordered the mushroom Fenicci.. in was delicious! It is vegetarian and tasted like a mushroom stroganoff. I would definitely eat it again. My husband had the salmon . He thought it was very good as well. It is a nice dark pub atmosphere. There were two pasta dishes on the menus that were vegetarian. This restaurant is very close to Broadway . read more
