“Great place for a drink and the regulars are amazing“

“awesome atmosphere there“

“Great spot and one of the best pints of Guinness in the City. Stop in any time I visit Manhattan.“

“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“

“Good shepherds pie, good music at first Tuesday Roomful of Sky showcase, and Mary is lovely.“

“Great atmosphere, friendliness, drinks and food! Love the Irish sausage rolls, smash burger and Shepards pie. Highly recommend this fine establishment.“

“Definitely lived up to the social media hype and no doubt best tavern burger in Queens. One can choose any burger on their extensive burger menu with a side of fries or onion rings for less than 20 bucks, it’s a deal I’m willing to sign up for every day.We went on a Thursday late afternoon and place was energetic and lively, just what you expect from a well-known busy tavern. I can only imagine what it’s like on weekends when they have live band.Donovan’s is the real deal.“

“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.“

“After 10 years second trip back to New York and despite the time difference on Guinness number four at 3am. Great pub, Great Guinness, and great staff. Really busy on a Monday night. Def come here. You won’t regret it.“

“The people who work here are just amazing. I come before, during, and after work because i need a place where someine is just kind to me. 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 Guiness pour! Glad there were some cider options“

“Great place to watch sports and excellent bar wings and burgers“

“Staying at the hotel next door - had the black bean and corn burger with the sweet potato fries - was amazing! Great vibe, friendly staff, fun music.“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere Great drinks Great bar staff“

“We were in town for the day and called ahead to make reservations. The staff was so nice and let us come an hour before opening time to accommodate us :) We arrived alittle after 3 and were promptly seated. The inside decor was classy and pictures of celebrities that have visited nearys were all over the wall. It was very Hollywood. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and drinks to start. I got the classic gin gimblet which was strong and good! I had the French onion soup which was divine. A layer of cheese covered the top, the broth was rich and flavorful. The clams casino was too much breading and not a lot of clam. For entrees most people got the famous lamb rack, I got the shrimp scampi over rice. The lamb is very flavorful and cooked right. My shrimp scampi was good but I thought it was heavy on the lemon side. More butter needed to be added to cut the acidity of the lemon since it took over the flavor of the whole dish. The rice was alittle al dente for my taste. For dessert I got the molten lava cake which came in this adorable glass jar and with vanilla ice cream. That was amazing. The chocolate cake was rich and the ice cream paired perfectly. We all had a great time talking to the staff. Everyone was very nice and we enjoyed our dining experience:)“

“Great food, and great atmosphere. Our bartender was very attentive and helpful. Gave great drink suggestions, and catered to our orders. I met a friend here to catch up and had a great time… showed up to work a little past lunch break. Highly recommended, they have great tap beer options.“

“The perfect pub if you are in the desperate need of a quick pint. It's the definition of "fast drink" instead of "fast food" because sadly this place is lacking of food or at least snacks but I think it's the concept of this place to only serve drinks and I have to say they are doing that on the best level.“

“My boyfriend and I love coming here. The ambience is always amazing and the waitress is so nice and always so attentive. We have eaten at Jack Jones on five different occasions and each time the food was amazing. There is nothing bad to say about this bar, the food and atmosphere is great and I will definitely continue to return.“

“Great place to watch The Arsenal!“

“Feels like home! Super friendly, welcoming staff.“

“A warm inviting Irish bar with- surprise!

Friendly crowd , nice bartenders, generous drinks! Easily accessible from R train- come visit this gem of a bar!“

“Karaoke night is cool!!!!“

“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!“

“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 Staff.... Excellent Food...“

“The perfect place to watch a galway match“

“It was nice there have a great experience“

“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.“

“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.“

“Our group was served delicious food and the drinks were great. Highly recommended.“

“Everything ..I’ve been going to the bar for 30years and they also have a great female pool team..come on down and support your local team..chicks with sticks“

“Terrific Place--Great Bartender Neil and Great Patrons--Love Their Guinness Tap. Now I am Over 70 And They are kind To ME. 50 Years Ago I went To This Tavern. Still Amazing. The Bartenders, and Patrons and The Owner--5-Stars For ME and I Hope to Return-Sadly I Live in a Part of Queens That Has NO-Place like McGuinness's Bar.“

“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.“

“Stopped in from the times square rush. Great pub. Food was great and bartenders were friendly. Really enjoyed ourselves.“

“Authentic Irish pub experience. No tourist trap no thrills proper Irish pub in New York. If you want the Irish pub experience look no further. With the best staff excellent prices. Look no further than Geordies joint. Worth the tip out of the city.“
