They also have a big list of whiskey - a separate menu addition.Tried: chicken fingers (very good), Bangers & Mash (excellent), Deli Style Ruben ( good). Washed with Guinness Stout & Snake Bite.Suggestions: Bangers & Mash is a must, add preferred whiskey or Snake Bite“

“Currently visiting from Australia, what was only meant to be a quick pub feed turned into our favourite place in NY. Breifne was amazing, he always had outstanding customer service and smile on his face even in the busiest times. His friendly and welcoming attitude resulted in us returning 5 times through out our stay. Thoroughly enjoyed many delicious margaritas made by him! Overall was a great environment that made us feel safe and relaxed with a great atmosphere.“

“I came here the Friday before St. Patrick's day and was not disappointed. They had live music on a small stage with a large crowd singing along to Irish folk tunes. The atmosphere was lively and reminded me a lot of Dublin pubs.The service was a bit slow, as there were too many patrons and too few bartenders. If they could improve that ratio, this place would be a fantastic place.“

“Excellent food great service! Owner hands on“

“O'Hara's Restaurant and Pub is hands down my favorite spot in New York City, and it's become my go-to place for almost every weekend outing. Located in the heart of the Financial District, this gem is more than just a restaurant or a pub – it's a place brimming with history, warmth, and some of the best drinks you'll ever have.The moment you step inside, you're greeted by an incredibly friendly and attentive staff. They always make you feel like part of the family. The owner is often around, mingling with guests and making sure everyone is having a great time. His friendliness and genuine interest in his patrons are a huge part of what makes this place special.Now, let's talk about the drinks. They offer a fantastic selection of beers, cocktails, and spirits that cater to every taste. The bartenders here really know their craft. Whether you're in the mood for a classic Guinness or something more adventurous, they’ve got you covered. I've tried many places in the city, but the drinks here are simply on another level – consistently top-notch and expertly made.Beyond the drinks and the welcoming atmosphere, this place holds a significant spot in the community’s heart due to its deep connection with 9/11. The walls are adorned with badges and memorabilia from first responders, making it a poignant and respectful tribute to the heroes of that day. It’s impossible not to feel a sense of reverence and respect as you sit among these tokens of bravery and sacrifice.One of the best kept secrets here is the "Album." If you ask the staff about it, they'll bring out a book filled with photos, letters, and memories from people who have visited over the years. It’s a touching collection that adds a personal and historical depth to your visit, reminding you of the community spirit that thrives in this place.It is more than just a pub for me – it's a place where memories are made and shared. I've taken all my friends here, and every single one of them has fallen in love with it just like I did. The combination of great service, outstanding drinks, and rich history creates an experience that is hard to beat.If you’re ever in New York City, do yourself a favor and stop by. Enjoy a drink, soak in the atmosphere, and be sure to ask about the "Album." You won’t regret it.“

Tara, brian, eoin, everyone who works here, theyre just gems. Its not easy to work a midtown bar and still be kind, but they are. I owe them everything. Please visit and be towards the staff as lovely as they are towards us all.“

“Great bar, great food. Love the owner! He went out of his way to make us feel welcome. So festive for Christmas.“

“Ordered a pint of beer of the day (7$) and a burger with fries (15$). Later I had a guinness (10$). Food was somehow boring, there were no salad at the burger only at the side, and the onions were not fresh. For the price still ok. Anyway the vibe was good and the staff was friendly. Would recomend.“

“Loved visiting this place with a friend for brunch! The food was great for the price and it has such a cozy vibe. The drinks are a good price as well during brunch and I would love to come back again alone or with friends. It’s small and the seating is a bit tight but it’s a good place to hang out. Definitely give it a try if you are in the area! The brunch burger was delicious and cooked how I like it but the main star for me were the truffle fries.“

“Peter Dillion’s 36th, is an outstanding Irish pub with a great vibe. This is my very first visit and the bar staff are lovely, and make you feel right at home. There're large screen TVs perfect for watching games with warm, friendly customers. The drinks are excellent, with a wide selection to choose from. Conveniently close to the road and fully wheelchair accessible ♿ it’s easy for everyone to enjoy. Highly recommended for a fantastic pub experience, and definitely a return visit for me.#NYC #Manhattan #Google #GoogleMaps #IrishPub #WheelchairAccesdible #LetsGuide #3B+AccessibiltyContributions #Lively“

“I had the Broiled Lamb Chops with mint jelly. It was tasty and tender. The baked potato tasted like it was just harvested. My meal came out within 30 minutes, and it was worth the wait. I will definitely return to try something else on the menu.“

“Great place to watch The Arsenal!“

“Extraordinary sports bar. Big and many screens, you can see the game perfectly from anywhere. The offer of drinks and food is typical of a sport bar, good quality and very good service.

“Absolutely love this place. Just back from my second trip to NYC, so second time in here. Firstly the Guinness and food is excellent in the landmark. The service is lirlterally second to none, my favourite Irish bar in NYC. Donnacha is a legend of a bartender and literally couldn't do more for his customers. A true gentleman. Until the next time Donnacha , Sláinte.PS Donnacha, if you do reas this. We did come back last Friday 06/04 but the place was packed out the door literally!“

“Good pub ambiance…..neighborhood crowd….good food and drinks.“

“If you’re looking for the perfect local New York bar, this is it. Clean with a relaxed atmosphere and a nice selection of local beers on tap. I even got to meet owner Maggie and we had a nice chat about New York City.“

“We are never disappointed when we stop here when we visit NYC. Atmosphere and food is always fantastic and they make killer Manhattans. We just went for the 2023 Rockefeller tree and the staff was pleasant and accommodating. so happy they were decorated for the holidays. 100% go to in our opinion.“

“Great food, service and outdoor space! Highly recommend!“

“An honest Irish pub that pours a great pint, has lots of young people at night and keeps you occupied with TVs and a huge number of tchotchzkes that remind you this place dates back to the '30's. Oh, the music playing over their system on Friday night was just right for my crowd. If you're looking for a comfortable place to have a drink, this won't disappoint. If you're looking for an upscale bar...well why are you in Newark?“

“We came with a group to celebrate a great friends promotion…which was also a surprise wedding proposal for her. Marc was extremely accommodating and Kristina, who was our server as well as the manager was beyond amazing. She was on point and went well beyond to make our experience awesome…all while handling another large group. I cannot express enough how thankful we are and what a great experience we had! Thank you Blackjacks!!!“

“Probably my favorite pub in New York! Has some of the best Guinness in the City and a creative cocktail selection! My only complaint would be that the music can be a bit deafening when the pub is full. But other than that, great place with very friendly staff!Cheers!“

“Great service friendly atmosphere“

“Stopped in for a couple of drinks while headed to the subway, super glad I did! The bartender was amazing and went out of his way to take care of us. Clean and comfortable traditional Irish pub with plenty of TVs to catch the game. Highly recommend.“

“Great, downhome local bar with friendly bartenders and friendly customers. They have great live music on Fridays @ 9 pm. Come on down this Friday 7/21 and see my band, “The Dirt Weeds”. No cover and enough room for dancing!“

“Great steady gig in New York! Just like The Old Days!“

“Excellent burger!! Definitely give this place a go!!“

“Great local Irish bar. I was staying a week at a nearby hotel and this place had the exact Irish bar feel I needed. I instantly felt like a regular they were glad to see, coming and going. Proper for an Irish place. Good pours on the beers. I was here for the first 2016 Presidential Debates and there was a lot of opinions, but in true NYC style, nobody got bent, no matter how much of a (&%$g idiot the other person was.“

“It’s a great place and friendly atmosphere!“

“Friendly lovely Staff x Very welcoming - great service and fantastic food x Definately worth a visit - Highly recomended x“

“Terrific Irish pub. My colleagues and I stopped by after a late night project. They have 22 beers. Lots of other drinks. Food was standard fare but very good. Generous portions. You have to get up and look around the pub. The ceiling above the bar, the statuary and the stained glass were just a few of the neat items at the Wicked Monk. Our waitress and the bus boys were awesome!“

“Good service, friendly staff, excellent Guinness and tasty grub. Not to mention a great soundtrack“

“The most important bar of the neighborhood (and beyond really). Always open when all the other ones have closed way too early, great atmosphere, mixed audience. A great hang to chat with friends, talk to strangers at the bar or simply sit by yourself and decompress.“
