Buy a bucket full, a bit pricey, but you will thank me and understand why once you're in it. Been here four separate times with different people and every single one of them loved it.

They remember your name and come with an air of friendliness. I may be biased because I used to live in Ireland. b. The food.

I had the good fortune of being taken care of by Adam, the owner, an extremely welcoming and knowledgeable host. The bourbon selection is absolutely 10/10.

This place has so much potential it's honestly a little offensive that it's not living up to it…read more Like... you walk in and you feel like something should be happening. The energy is right there, hovering, but it never actually lands. It's giving "almost iconic" but not quite--like a party that never fully starts. And that's what gets me. Because this bar could EASILY be that spot. The kind people plan their week around. Where are the themed nights? Where's the drama? The chaos? Give me a reason to come back on a random Wednesday. Do a city-event tie-in, a holiday takeover, literally anything that makes it feel alive instead of just... existing. Because right now it feels like a missed opportunity wearing a cute outfit. BUT--let's talk about the one thing they absolutely did not fumble: the view. The VIEW??? Insane. Genuinely stunning. The kind of view that makes you pause mid-sentence and remember you're in New York and not just spiraling in your own life choices. It's carrying the entire experience on its back, respectfully. So yeah. I'd come back... but mostly for the view and the potential. If they ever decide to actually do something with this space? It could be dangerous (in a good way). Until then, it's vibes... just not fully realized ones.

I had a delivery order of Fish & Chips, Shepards Pie and Bang Bang Shrimp from this Irish Pub…read more The Fish & Chips consists of one nice large piece of fried fish with a tasty homemade tartar sauce and a small container of very nice Cole Slaw. I opted to substitute tater tots which were very good. The Shepherds Pie was the stand out dish with a very generous portion of mashed potatoes with beef, very tasty and well made. The Bang Bang Shrimp was decent enough though soggy from the trip. Nonetheless, with the various dips (ranch, Russian and house) it was filling albeit a little breading forward. Service was a little slow, though packing was well done. I enjoyed this meal. I would order again, especially for the Shepherds Pie. Recommended.

STEPH JUDGEMENT: An escape from the nearby tourist traps…read more It was close to our hotel so we decided on some final drinks here to end the night. For being so close to Times Square, it does not pander to tourists at all. It was all dim lighting and haphazard decor, but pretty roomy, with pool tables in the back. Didn't feel too different from some bars we frequent in Long Beach, actually. The patrons on the night of our visit looked local, and the drinks were cheap--no fancy cocktails here. The only bummer was that their sound system kept cutting out, so the music (of the hard rock variety) was spotty. We felt at home, and were glad we stopped in.

Strong & Good!!! And the bartenders were super cool. The food came out in 5 mins. But I was so sad because I wasn't ready for the conversation to end with the bartenders. The Reuben's were good. If you're from Detroit, then you're not going to like this Reuben. It's cut thin and the meat is a little dry and hard. But, it has flavor. And was spruced up when I added the hot mustard and slaw to the sandwich. If you don't like slaw and hot mustard and just want a Reuben how it comes, this isn't the place for you. The fries were pretty good and crunchy. Highly recommend if you're in the area and need a good bar!
