If you are visiting New York for the day, or if you've lived here for years, come and join us for a hearty lunch, dinner or maybe a cold pint after work. This is a place where you can relax - where the atmosphere is warm, the people lively and the food appetizing. A true Irish American bar and restaurant. Serving New York since 1995 we are a regular stop off for theater goers before and after a Broadway show. Conveniently located in the heart of the Theater District, just minutes from Rockefeller Centre and St. Patrick's Cathedral. Our dining room is situated on the second floor and is richly decorated with wood paneling and a large selection of Irish playwrights and Broadway memorabilia. Windows overlook 7th Avenue and provide a people watching experience - Its New York you can see it all. We provide an inviting experience, offering Irish, American and continental cuisine. Daily specials and prix - fixe available daily with brunch available on Saturday and Sunday. Live traditional Irish American Folk Music every night at 9pm. Stop in - you won't be disappointed.

A decent Irish pub with typical pub faire. A place to join friends and share goodtimes. Friendly staff and good food. Beer is the best option, simple cocktails are ok.
