Lisa F: Cozy atmosphere, great food and drinks, can get crowded especially later.
Brendan Clancy: Another loud filament light bulb filled gastropub employing the failsafe method to young professionals wallets of fried pickles, artisanal drinks, mac and cheese and tiles. Tear for Ship of Fools...
Sarah-Jane Purvis: Oyster slides are pretty gross. Taste of the ocean....not in a good way. Didn't make me horny either.

JoVonn Rochester: Get the Pork Belly appetizer! Absolutely amazing!!!

Christina Squitieri: This place is great; one side is a lovely restaurant with romantic lighting while the other side is a nice sports bar. There are two entrances, so dinner can stay romantic. Great food; I'll be back!
John S: Mac & Cheese. Shepard Pie. The Service
Elliot Wehner: Neighborhood Irish pub with an awesome fireplace. Good selection of beers and have the full Irish breakfast if that's your bag. EPL on weekends too

Masha Antropova: Loved their Bloody Mary's and the Full Irish was delicious 😋
The Wall Street Journal: A standout cocktail is the Great Jones, a blend of Famous Grouse Scotch, Fee's Black Walnut Bitters and maple syrup served neat. Read more.
Carl K: Jeremy Lin may be a terrible bartender, but in his defense he probably just can't see you through his trendy false frames.

L. T.: Between my friend and I, we tried almost all of the appetizers. You cannot go wrong. Good beer selection and the cocktails are amazing. Get in before 7 for half-off happy hour.
The Wall Street Journal: Particularly creative are the small house-made jars of pickles, including okra with garlic and caraway seeds and Brussels sprouts with garlic and dill ($5 a jar, or $15 for three). Read more.
Nicole Cifani: Power plugs under the bar

Brew York: A worthy craft beer option in Midtown with 60 beers on tap from the likes of Radiant Pig, Founders, Ommegang, and Bell's. Even with the great tap list, the amazing food outshines the beer.
Mike Dalessio: 60 beers on tap, 20 bottles, 21 TVs, wifi, and power outlets everywhere.
Ray A: Lauren is the go to bartender. She knows your name, what you want and what are the best drinks on tap.

Deandse Ramos: Oysters are great!
