"4.5* if it were possible to give but rounded up to 5* because it's better than a 4*. This rating is for a casual Irish pub and based on comparisons to other pubs foods, drinks and decor. With a clean and what seemed new interior, this bar is a dark atmosphere which sets a nice mood. Dark wood walls, chairs and tables all in good shape. Prices are fair to good for Manhattan. Location is convenient to Penn Station and local subways. Wine pours seem to become more generous as you run your tab up. Draft beer is cold and the lines must be cleaned regularly as all drafts tasted spot on. Service is excellent. Wait staff is attentive as well as the manager also who seems to actually help out unlike many other managers I've seen in other places. Bathrooms were on the cleaner side. The men's room is oddly situated as urinals are perpendicular to the entrance with no walls. It's almost impossible to not see d*k, which for some may be more of a reason to use the facilities. The restroom has an air dryer for hands only, which personally I hate and would prefer to leave with wet hands. I cannot speak for the women's room. The menu is a good size of both draft beers, cans/bottles and wines. As we didn't order liquor, I'd imagine they had the common brands. The menu consists of mainly starters, sandwiches and burgers/pizza with not many choices. From what we had, the quesadillas were pretty good, the wings were excellent and the blue cheese burger was potentially good, but the chef missed the mark on the cook, as it was ordered medium and came out past well done. Which is unfortunately the only photo I took of the night/food. If it was cooked better, I think pairing it with a side of wing sauce would be a nice touch. Fries were average in flavor, a good sized portion served with not enough ketchup. This establishment also has outdoor dining, but we did not partake."
