We were staying in the area and ended up having dinner twice in this pub. 4 stars is average between these two visits. I’d rate one 5 stars but the other 2-3. It seems one of those places where you need to know what to order, even though menu is reasonably short.I do not recommend ordering salmon, which was a small piece of fish on a big pile of spinach. Also the Shepherds pie rendition I was served was the weirdest one (and least good) I’ve ever tried. It was a very thin layer of mediocre beef with 3 pieces of carrots, covered in a pool of gravy with mashed potatoes piped around the perimeter of the plate. In the gravy pool, there were swimming some peas that tasted like they were hastily defrosted before serving. It was under-seasoned and the large pieces of bay leave I had to fish out of the gravy pool were just the proverbial cherry on top.We came back only because the kid liked his burger, it was raining and it was the only restaurant in the area without deafening music. I’m glad we did though because I ordered fish and chips and somehow it was actually fantastic. Granted, “chips” were regular fries but fish was plump, succulent pieces of cod meat with perfectly crisp breading. Tiny portion of cole slaw was also good. Vegetarian burgers are frequently an afterthought at places like this but it was pretty good.Beer on tap was OK, there isn’t a large selection. Got a mixed cocktail in happy hour, don’t recommend it as it was mostly ice in a small glass.Nothing special to say about service. On the first visit, we were left to our own devices until we asked for a check and on the next visit, the waiter stopped by to ask if everything was ok. Beware of credit card fee, we were able to pay with debit card to avoid it. It does leave unpleasant aftertaste though, feels like being bamboozled. Just roll it into your cost, for cripes sake.

Nice local pub with a good menu and separate dining area. Food is good and service is warm and friendly. Prices are very reasonable with good happy hour specials.Kid-friendliness: There is a kids' menu with all the usual favorites.

Ryan McGuire is one of my favorite Irish bars in FiDi. Whether for lunch or after work dinner and drinks, it's always a good choice. Diverse crowd. Good prices. Delicious food and drinks (try the chicken pot pie?). The atmosphere is nice. Establishment is clean (including the restrooms). Staff is friendly.

Fun place to have dinner/drinks. Some tv screens to watch sports and there was a pub quiz in the back of the bar going on. Super delicious food. The service was just quite slow, we still had a good time! The regural fries were to die for!

I left iPic theatres on my birthday after watching Dune 2 for my birthday on my day off and my girlfriend and I decided to go over to this place for happy hour. I’m posting this review specifically because of the spicy tequila shrimp. We ordered a second one with more garlic bread to dip it into the sauce. Highly recommend it! Excuse the grammar I’m still a little buzzed!

This is a great little spot with reasonable prices. I have not tried the food, but it's been one of my go-to spots during my last couple of visits to NYC.Last summer it was my 21-year-old daughter's first Irish Pub. She loved it too.

Great little place, a little pricey but it's lower Manhattan. Unlike the Irish bar down the street you don't stick to the floor.

Absolutely loved this place. The food was amazing and our server was so sweet. Highly recommend the curry fries! Can’t wait to come back on our next visit to NYC.
