Try the veal and don't forget to tip your waitress.
Matthew JurkowskiJanuary 11, 2011With at least 100 people packed in, only 4 employees are needed to keep the system going. Watch as the barman carried 16 half pints at once!
Pamela MacNaughtanJune 28, 2010This pub has been open since 1854. Tons of character and great home brew. Check it out.
Derek KanNovember 24, 2010light or dark - dont care - just keep it coming until u can be a part of history with the 100 year old urinal
Darks all day! The only tip you need is "Be Good or Be Gone". Tip well and come back.- Evan WeissOctober 5, 2011Go (and stay) for the beer. Spicy mustard is good if you like horseradish like I do.
Lou GubertiAugust 16, 2011Can't argue with a classic. I always pick the dark cause I'm boring. Fries + Mustard is swag
John MorrisonMarch 29, 2009Beer orders come in two half pint glasses. Get a friend to order with you, you order McSorely's Light, the friend: McSorely's Dark and trade one for one with each-other.
David FragaJuly 25, 2011Get the cheese, onion and crackers plate. Beware the power of the spicy mustard.
Looks like it hasn't been cleaned since the 1800s...but that just adds to the charm. Those are the original cobwebs!
Julia MontiMarch 11, 2016Loved the atmosphere here. Beer comes in two small mugs and the waiters are Irish. Great place to bring an old friend who's visiting New York and is looking for a fun place to grab beers before dinner
Luis NaviaOctober 25, 2012Nothing like a good ol' irish bar. Ask the bar tenders stories about politicians.
Brian SearlOctober 17, 2010This is one of the oldest bars in Manhattan and highly recommended for any visit to NYC.
Renee OsgoodFebruary 6, 2011If your a girl, don't try flirting with the bouncer to jump the line. He will have none of it and you will wait a longgggg time

"One of my favorite spots in the city. Great first date spot, great food and this place is just SO pretty during the holidays. Gets very crowded so I wouldn't recommend going with a large group."
