"Went on a Sunday afternoon and it was understandably packed. We were sat upstairs. We were there for what we thought was happy hour but our waitress told us that happy hour was over because they "were too busy". My friend ordered a McCarthy lager which was just a Bud Light in a draft glass. We ordered one appetizer and asked to keep our menus so we could continue looking. Our waitress came by three times to ask if we were ready to order more food (totally understandable) each time we said we werent sure yet as we werent and its a bar so we were just trying to enjoy the vibe. On the 4th time she came by and took the menus from us and stated "so just the pretzel bites" didnt pause for us to answer and walked off. Pretzel bites arrived and were horrendous. Clearly Sysco food that was frozen and then microwaved . The cost for 7 pretzel bites was $17!!!! What a rip off - oh my god. There are one million better Irish pubs in NYC and in the area. Go anywhere else. This place is a ripoff."

"Really cool little Irish Pub near the heart of Times Square. Very convenient location. Narrow space with a bar upstairs, as well. Amanda (bartender) was great. We sampled several food dishes and they have a wonderful selection of drinks. Worth a stop for sure."

"Needless to say, this place is an absolute hidden gem in Times Square. I don’t usually drink Guinness to this extent, but when I come here, they go down easy—and the pours are as close to being back in Ireland as you can get. The real standout is Sean, the man himself. He’s a class-A bartender straight from Ireland who knows how to pour a perfect pint, stay attentive, and keep the vibe alive. Honestly, we came back here two nights in a row just because of Sean—he makes everyone feel welcome, whether you’re a local or visiting for the first time. The atmosphere seals the deal. They’ve got that live bar energy that so many places have lost—great music, great conversation, and that feeling you don’t want the night to end. Part of me didn’t want to write this review because some things are better kept secret, but I’d be doing everyone a disservice if I didn’t. So go, ask for Sean, and tell him Reggie the Eagles fan sent you—and make sure to give him some grief since he’s a Ravens fan and a Man United guy. Cheers, mate. 🍻"

"An absolute hidden gem among the outskirts of times square. Wonderful prompt service. I'll be dreaming of the braised short ribs in that divine red wine reduction sauce for a year until we come back. Id drink it from a pint glass it's so damn delicious. Thank you for a very lovely night out. Can't wait to return august 2026. 🤗"

"I stopped in for dinner one night with a party of 10. Overall the servers did a good job of waiting on us and getting what we need. The food itself was good. For an appetizer, we had the chips with gauc and queso. Then I had the sliders appetizer as my meal. The sliders were good with the chips. The bread that the sliders were in were okay. The bar is nicely appointed and has good bathrooms. My only note was that our food took a really long time. Most of us split a plate and it took almost 45 minutes."
