Connolly's Pub & Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (590) • $$

"I cannot comment on the drinks. I cannot really comment on the ambiance. What I can comment on is the service and our meal that afternoon and the service. Their chili stuffed potato skin was filling, comforting, and so good! It's a meal in itself, but it served as our appetizer. I don't see it on the menu anymore. I ordered their Harp Beer Battered Fish and Chips while he ordered the Guiness Grilled Rib Steak. Their fries were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The fish wasn't greasy. They were huge pieces of fish fried perfectly. It paired so well w/ the coleslaw and the tanginess from the tartar sauce. The leftovers did create a bit of grease, but it was to be expected. I still enjoyed it that night! I was thirsty and must have had 4 Diet Coke refills. Our server was quick and checked on us a few times. I really appreciate the fact that I did not have to ask for a refill of my soda. I wasn't so sure about the steak, but he finished it and said it was good. Mmmm, I'm thinking about the fish and chips and potato skins right now!"

"Nephew brought me here to have pre dinner coffee martini on a wednesday night. We came on around 530pm and we were quickly seated at the bar. The bartender was friendly & nice. The place has a good cosy ambience. The place feels spacious and not so loud. We could carry conversation with out shouting at each other. I would probably come back to have a meal next time. Glance at the menu, food looks good & prices reasonable."

Scallywag's Irish Pub & Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (363) • $$

"This is my spot! When you're in the mood for a Irish pub close to Penn Station and Port Authority, this is your place! We went on a Friday night when they have live music. We had a few snacks as well (mozzarella sticks and fries) which hit the spot late night.It's a classic Irish pub with Guinness and Jameson of course! Staff are friendly and even gave us a free shot! Def recommend checking out this spot especially on a Friday night!"

"On a random weekday afternoon, vibes chill and this pub is, oddly, extremely nice inside. The bathrooms? Top tier. I ordered the meatball sandwich, which came with cheese and pesto. I am a sucker for a good sandwich with pesto inside, and this was no different. I was honestly so shocked by how well constructed this sandwich was. Like, the bread was just crunchy enough to keep its shape with the meatballs inside but still soft enough that it didn't scratch the top of your mouth or anything while eating it. The only thing is that it was a bit dry, even with the pesto. I still gobbled this entire thing up, though. My friends and I came to yap, and I also appreciated that they let it happen (though the fact that they weren't that busy probably helped). Food was surprisingly good, and the menu touches on a lot of different dishes. There's definitely something for everyone. I'd come back!"

"I can't tell you how many times I'll be in the area late at night just wanting a quick drink before catching the train. Not too rowdy. Bartenders are attentive. People don't really bother you. Great spot.Now I'll be stopping by more regularly."

McHale's Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.7 (312) • $$

"The scene if you want to watch all the games (and I mean, all the games at the same time) and get a stiff drink to match.I go basic when I'm at an Irish Pub and this one is an authentic one at that: welcoming bartender, relaxed vibes and heavy pour. My Tanqueray and Tonic ($11!!) was not measured, thank God! while I love my craft cocktails, sometimes when you're wrapping up your night, you just want something stiff before heading back to the hotel. (ahem, TWSS) The bros who frequent this space are all LOUD (hey, I'm over 40!) but they don't bother anyone. I mean, I would yell at the TV too if stupid named X player didn't score. Aren't they paying him millions!?! get it together. Come for the vibes and leave happy coz you didn't burn a hole in your wallet. See?! NYC is afforadble!"

"Very cool Irish bar located outside of Madison Square Garden.Only stopped here for a quick beer before a Rangers playoff game and the place was packed with Rangers fans. Bartender was very cool and the crowd was also very good.I didn't get to try any food but what I saw looked pretty good. Even though it was packed there was enough room to hang out for a little bit comfortably.There is a lot of construction going on outside but the inside was very cool.Will definitely stop here again maybe during the regular season when it won't be as crowded."

Mulligan's Pub

"Super good prices and great ambiance! Music is varied so it's good for everyone. The shepherds pie was delicious. We also got cosmos and beer. They have a good variety of cocktails and beers as well as a huge food menu. The bartenders are friendly and fast to serve. Highly recommend this place! Coming back for sure"

Cassidy's Pub & Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (174) • $$

"I have only been to Cassidy's once and it was for late night karaoke after a wedding. And for that purpose it was absolutely perfect.The kitchen was open late, which was a godsend. I am fairly certain I had some delicious nachos. It's a little hazy to be honest. I know I was happy with my food for sure, as was the rest of my group.The tap and bottle selection had enough beers to satisfy all. More importantly, our bartender was serving quickly. It was easy to order at the bar and then wander back to the tables we were using at the back of the bar. The karaoke was set up back there. And yes it turns out that Guinness pairs well with karaoke.We had a fantastic time. I would absolutely come back. Thanks for the memorable night!"

Pipin's Pub

"Had a great dinner experience here last night, a Saturday. We had burgers (Gaelic and Barbecue) which were perfectly cooked and large, with delicious ingredients. Our waitress was friendly and efficient. The place is lively, with games on screens all around the front room where we were seated, but it wasn't too loud to have conversation. We were able to substitute simple iceberg salads for fries (which looked great but we are trying to control ourselves). Prices are reasonable. Highly recommend if you're looking for a pub."

Hunters Steak & Ale House

★★★★☆ 3.7 (153) • $$$

"Tried this restaurant for the first time because of restaurant week and I'm glad I did. Came for lunch with my family and most of us tried the 10oz sirloin. Despite NOT being served on those sizzling hotplates with lots of oil and/or butter, the steak was surprisingly flavorful and tasty. We all enjoyed the steak and it was cooked the way we wanted it. I had to order a salmon filet to share with my toddler. Unfortunately, he wasn't in the mood for salmon but he enjoyed the julienned veggies. Also ordered the fish and chips, as well as yhe chicken fingers for the kids. They enjoyed them both. Service was great. Love that it seems to be family owned as they were training their teenage son how to be a waiter.Overall, I would definitely come back for some tasty but affordable steak. They have alot of other items on the menu as well including pasta, chicken, fish."

"This is a nice neighborhood spot that seems to get pretty crowded after work. They have a weekday happy hour from 5-7 for $5 on bud light and Shocktop, $10 wines and other stuff.We came in on a Sunday evening and it was pretty quiet. Kind of charming actually because of the Victorian decor. They had the NFL football game on but it definitely was not the sports bar crowd at the time. Food isn't bad. Buffalo cauliflower had too much breading on it and tasted more like a hush puppy than the cauliflower, which was what we craved. I liked their special of the day, the penne alla vodka with fried chicken. Real good vodka sauce.I'll need to come back to try their classic dishes next time."
