Look, it's only getting harder to find an unpretentious pub in NYC. Nothing here is great, but everything is going to be okay. Have a burger and a beer after work.

1lb Burgers with bacon STANDARD with each one on the menu. Combined with a nice draft , this is definitely a place I would recommend for lunch or dinner with friends.

Lawrence Boucher

This is an old school bar . Great bartenders ! The wings are excellent and make sure to order a pickleback shot too.

Tom DiMaggio

One of the oldest establishments in NYC. Enjoy it, the bartenders are friendly and will take care of you if you take care of them.

Ranu Rajkarnikar

Classic establishment in Chelsea - walk in and feel like a local. They have reasonably priced drinks and bar food . What's not to like?

James Kiernan

Quintessential nyc dive bar with solid food. Burger is pretty good but far from best burger in the city .

Amy Tremmel

Awesome classic Irish pub . Good mix of people here and really friendly bartenders . Great selection of beers on tap and a good price!

Patrick Healy

Great. Dive. Bar . Can't go wrong here. It gets crowded but the hipsters are kept to a minimum. Solid beer selection .

JP

This is the type of blue collar bar you go to after a hard day to drink some good beer , have a great conversation, leave, and do it all over again next week

Aarthi D.

Appropriately dive-y old school Irish bar . Drink a Guinness and enjoy something fried, just trust me. You might spot some UCB people late night .

Ms Helene

Standard bar menu of fatty classics including fries covered in chilli and cheese , club sandwiches (better than usual), burgers and sides like coleslaw (awful) and baked beans ( out of a can!)

Cole Kennedy

Go for the McManus Ale . Way better than most house beers are.

James C

Great burger and beer . Voted best burger in city .

Janelle Kaalund

In spite of what the menu says you can get tater tots with your burger ! So good!

Jason Su

Amazing burgers and tots .

Village Voice

They have a great happy hour ($2 - $3 beers ) that you can find using our Happy Hours app! http://www.gotime.com/nyc/mobile

Excellent bacon cheese burger and steak fries

Brendan Jordan

This is where students of comedy go to enjoy each others company until they inevitably get sick of this place, and sick of each others company.

If u play the Orion touch screen game up front, the right hand side of the screen is defective so when touching that area hold ur finger there longer than u normally would

Graham Smith

Try the McManus Ale , it's basically Saranac Pale Ale on tap . A beer for whatever mood you're in.

Ann Mc

The cheese burger and fries where good. The iced tea tastes like it was made in a coffee pot. But I guess that's what I get for ordering iced tea in a bar .

Jessica S.

The burgers here are yummy and they add bacon to the cheeseburgers !

Raj S.

Nothing like this dive-y Irish bar in Chelsea. Just post up for a pint and enjoy the sights. I wouldn't eat the food here unless intoxicated.

Rick Kincaid

There is no happy hour . Bud and bud light drafts are always 3. And the buy backs are generous.

Chris Gampat

Always get a Guinness

Danny Polise

BBQ chicken sandwich or turkey club are the way to go. Great bartenders !

Adam Wilson

I could leave a Dixie cup full of Bud Light out in the sun for seven days, it still wouldn't be as bad as the Bud Light served in this establishment.

Michael H

Friendly family owned pub .

Cassie Wallace

Great (but expensive ) Guinness .

Brendan Jordan

A great place to watch aspiring drunks become funny.

Matt G

Unpretentious pub with great food. Pat the bartender is a gem. Patrons are really friendly . Nice ambiance. Read more

Katie G

Try the house ale , and tip nicely - great staff , great bar .

Kev Abrams

Classic bar for a Bud Heavy and Jameson .

Arsalan Hashemi

Chill , Nice, Cheap

Bill Van Pelt

Nice place but the beer was warm. I would be willing to try it again though.

Jess Owens

Only place I know of in the US where you can get the excellent Paddy whiskey !

Stephen Sanders

Drinking a pickle back shot (Jameson chased with pickle juice ) is a life changing experience.

Andrew Cerda

Tater tots . Do it.

Crystal Ward

Bar are nice, sometimes ;)

Michael Harper

Beer . Whiskey .
