While walking around New York me and my wife were getting really hungry so we decided to stop here. And I am very happy that I did, everything from the theming to the food to the pricing was wonderful. Upon walking in we were greeted and sat very quickly and a little to top. I will say that sitting in here is very close so if you get claustrophobic this might not be the place for you. Our waitress was very attentive and came over multiple times asking us if we have ever been here and some really good food recommendations. I decided to get a Guinness and the chicken curry for my food and drink today. Let me just say that the Guinness was poured with the perfect amount of head and ice cold! The chicken curry was ridiculously flavorful and had such a nice blend of spices that I was trying so hard not to inhale all of my food because of how delicious it was. The rice also was cooked perfectly and all of the vegetables and ingredients were portioned out wonderfully. By the end of my meal I was so full that I wanted to pop. It was about $18 for my dish and about $6 or $7 for the beer, I can't remember unfortunately, but it was 100% worth the price. The waitress was very attentive and made sure that our Waters were also always filled. This place was insanely busy but the service was exceptional which made it a standout place that I hope to be back in the future when I'm in New york!

Eating at the bar has it's perks with good recs from our bartender. Great salad n shepherds pie with Guinness ofc!

My family & friend's came to this restaurant, it came highly recommended. It has a very friendly atmosphere & the staff are sooo nice. We ordered the Shepherd's pie which was spot on &'delicious. My wife ordered the French Onion Soup which was incredible. My friends daughters had shepherds pie & split a hamburger they said it was so incredible. My daughter had the chicken pot pie, the dish was so fresh crust soooo fresh & soooo good. Excellent service. My 1 year old granddaughter was playing with a toy & they offered batteries for it to light up. I thought they where so sweet to do that. The chef's they have in that kitchen prepare there food with respect & precision!!!! bravo . I grew up in NY on Long Island, where here for a mini vacation. This made my visit back home memorable. Sean's thank so much for taking good care of my family & friend's. I definitely would come back again. Continue doing what you're doing & I look forward to when we come back to the Greatest city in the US.

After wandering around the different markets, this was a cool place to sneak into where we were able to get fast service and great food. As tourist who have been taking pictures all day, iPhone batteries were quickly dwindling, and the staff was able to take them in charge for us which I thought was amazing. We got the spinach and artichoke dip, pizzas holiday cocktails, and some fries. This was our first time here at this restaurant the waiter definitely gave us great suggestions on drinks to get which was perfect. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is in the city and wants good food that is decently priced also being in the midst of all the action probably one of the best meals I had here.

This place was packed as it was pouring outside but it was huge with two full levels. I went upstairs to the top bar and asked the bartender if there was a spot open. He said no but that he would keep an eye out. I got a Guinness in the meantime. As soon as a spot opened up, the bartender was so nice and told me and then went and saved it for me. It was nice that he remembered and despite it being packed did that. Didn't try any food but it looked good.

We had a really nice dinner here. We decided upon a cranberry mule and a rum punch for starters. Our cocktails were amazing! Great taste, and lots of booze! For appetizers, we got the spinach artichoke dip, which was really creamy with crunchy tortilla chips. We ordered shepherds pie,the lamb burger, and fish and chips for dinner. All the entrées were excellent! We ended our meal with the brownie sundae, which was delicious! Our witches was really good and food came out so quickly!

The food was excellent! I really love bar food in an Irish pub in NYC. Bangers and mash and chicken pot pie are our go to orders. The service was great, very attentive. Good beer selection and a nice crowd. There was some kind of group that came in halfway through our visit so it became a little hectic. That's ok, we had a great time

This place is a fun spot to come after work. The drinks are good, the bartenders are excellent, and the TV's are perfect for watching sports. Josh took care of us tonight, and I had so much fun!!! I will be back.
