The Lonesome Club

We had a lovely time on a Friday afternoon in this sunny space. The service is very friendly and attentive. I loved the Shepherd's Pie and the Guiness Chocolate Cake. Glad to have this bar/restaurant in the neighborhood.

Enjoyed an excellent dinner a The Lonesome Club! The service from the staff first was enjoyable and very warm. To eat we had the bangers and mash, fish and chips, soda bread, curried potatoes, and the French onion soup. The bangers and mash were great real savory with the right amount of gravy. I enjoyed the fish and chips - it is very crunchy compared to fish and chips from a chip shop but I prefer them this way! To end we had the apple cake dessert. It was ok compared to the rest of the food

This is a very cute new gastropub. We sat at the bar on busy Saturday night. We were able to get a reservation a few hours before. Our bartender / server was great. The drinks were quite good. We tried the prima ballerina, the old fashioned and the skell and bones. They have some great whiskeys in house, specifically some I've only had served to me in Ireland or very upscale bars. Great selection!The food was hit or miss. We really enjoyed the soda bread. Really well baked. I ordered a special which was mussels cooked in cider, herbs, butter with a baguette. My boyfriend had the beef and stout soup. My mussels came WELL before his soup. Like I was finished when his soup arrived. Don't know if mine was meant to be an app and that's why there was a significant delay, or what but that should've been explained by the server if so. The mussels were good not great. There wasn't a ton of flavor to them and the toast was burnt. The stew however was fantastic. Really rich and complex flavor. Small portion sizes though. We also had the apple brandy cake which was a bit dense and dry but had good flavor. We will for sure come back but I think stick to tried and true faves like the stew and fish and chips / the myriad selection of pies that looked great coming out.

At last, The Lonesome Club is here to fill the food desert between Hamilton's and Le Paddock on one side and Krupa Grocery and Double Windsor on the other. Having completely transformed the Rhythm and Booze space, this is now a high-end, Irish-inflected gastropub with a fairly pricey menu. But the warmth and conviviality of the space, and the staff, should (if there is any justice in the world) keeps the crowds coming back.My bangers and mash were (was?) well-seasoned and complimented with shrooms and candied apples. My companion enjoyed his fisherman's pie, made with ham hocks, cod, and veggies. The wine menu is extensive, but I opted for a delicious Dark Hollow chocolate stout from West Kill Brewing. For dessert, we split the Guinness chocolate cake, which was a little dry but still tasty.Extra points for our awesome server, Nora, with whom we vibed on a variety of subjects, and for the celebrity at the bar.

Welcoming staff. Food was delicious and comforting. Simple Irish fare that will fill your soul. Restaurant decor is pleasant. A wonderful neighborhood place to visit.

Average food for above average prices. Good but not worth the price. Curious addition to the neighborhood. Hope it lasts

Beef stew is something I willCome back for again and again! Great vibe and great service at the bar.

My wife and I had dinner there last night with 2 friends. The food was good, the staff friendly and attentive. However, the entire time we were there-almost 2 hours-there was music blaring so loudly we could barely hear each other. We requested that they lower the volume 3 times and if they did so, the reduction was barely noticeable. We would not return unless this were addressed.

This is an excellent place for a great meal. The food and service are great and people at the bar seem to be having a good time of it. There are only two things that I grouse about. it is a bit expensive (but it is NY after all). And while the music they play I really enjoy, it is just too darned loud for my old ears. Having a conversation with my daughter over dinner is pretty much out of the question for me. But again, the food and the service are both excellent.

A few things: the menu is limited. Very basic, and mostly heavy dishes. Like - the only fish on the menu is breaded and fried. The food selection is kind of Irish - bangers and mash, fish and chips, colcannon. But really it's got an American bar food vibe. Apparently the cheeseburger was very good. Good fries. Loud dining room. Most of the time I was wishing there was a volume knob to turn down and soften the sound. Nice waitstaff. The menu needs more variety and creativity and they should do something about the intensity of the sound. Then I would recommend.
