It's got this green-and-white striped awning and dark windows with all kinds of stuff painted on them, no doubt an authentic Irish pub and Ithink ive been here before. Most places like that are full of weirdos, but to be honest, this place was filled with genuine cheer and laughter. ​It's pretty dark and dim inside especiallyas you near the back, just follow the big wooden bar and a bunch of TVs playing games begin to appear, which usually drives me crazy, but the vibe was equally entertaining to the rear. I ordered a pepperoni pizza, which was frozen, it actually hit the spot, we there watching women's college softball which depressed me. She, with her single skowly sipped diet coke as i was having three pints of Guinness and a couple shots of Jameson, that made my sorta happy.. The Guinness was poured, or shall i say "built" just right, proper at the least, creamy on top thick in the middle. It's the kind of spot where nobody bothers you with stupid small talk while you're drinking, which I kind of appreciated. ​I'm not crazy about most bars, but if you're on Jamaica Ave and need a quiet drink, it's darn good. I'll definitely go back.

The space itself is intimate, fairly small but utilized well. Bench tables and bar seating with a TV, fake fireplace, and a throwback arcade game. The bartender was so friendly and welcoming. Dark but not in a pretentious way. When we went on a Saturday afternoon, it was essentially just us and a few isolated people at the bar. We played a board game we had brought and had a great time. The beers themselves were not my favorite. There is a good variety and the prices are super agreeable, but I wasn't really thrilled by any of the IPA choices specifically. Probably just me. My biggest gripe with the place, however, is the music. I appreciate that this is super dependent on who is working but for a darkly lit brewery, I wouldn't have chosen the classic/elevator/slow music that was playing overhead. Parking is super easy. Also, I am very curious in their connection to the leather making studio next door and would be interested in the pop-ups that happen here once monthly!

By night, Nile takes over, continuing the tradition of impeccable service while bringing his own energy to the space. Both bartenders know how to make you feel like you've been a regular for years, with just the right blend of warmth, humor, and genuine care. The atmosphere is cozy, quaint, and perfectly suited for everything from a quiet pint to a lively evening with friends. It has the kind of intimate saloon-style charm that makes it easy to relax, whether you're the only one at the bar or surrounded by a lively crowd. McGuiness manages to strike that rare balance where you feel like you're part of something special, whether you're a local or a newcomer.

I've been to Donovan's, Sean Og's, and a smattering of other Irish pubs across town - and I've enjoyed them all. This place is the one that served me the single best-tasting Guinness I've enjoyed in NYC, anywhere. Came in for St. Paddy's and there were clearly a lot of regulars piled up at the bar and around me, but I didn't feel unwelcome for a second. Hyper-busy staff but good at what they do. Plenty of Soccer games on all the screens around to enjoy, if you come alone and want something to do while sipping your drink. Happy to come again, next time I have a hankering for a good Guinness.

A quick look from the outside, we'll, it looks like some kind of place where they keep really historic things and serious beers. Also outside are these big blue awnings, not trying to be all fancy, probably for weddings where locals use a side I've never been. ​The inside has got this big old wood bar and a few tired ceiling fans above. It looks like the kind of place where old and young, guys and gals go to eat, drink and make merry. The Queens Chronicle has a picture posted inside '100 years of good cheer,' it says. So I ordered all this German grub and our it came all at once, all laid out looking absolutely delicious. Just look at the giant pretzel. It's sitting there with some wonderful yellow cheese dip, and the platters of sausages, potato pancakes, and sauerkraut, it's all so heavy and seriously yummy. They've even got a bunch of beer bottles lined up under these little blue lights, like they're trying to match the blue awnings, I loved the look myself, i love anything that reminds me of Christmas. ​The dessert with the massive meringue on top of a brownie. It wasvreal good! ​If I ever went to this place ahain, I'd probably just drink beer and eat pie while staring at my giant pretzel for a while.

Despite being right next to the 61st St stop, The Dugout is one of the lesser frequented Irish pubs…read morein Woodside. It reminds me a time in the neighborhood when Irish folks were the majority and when times were so much more simple. This pub is low key, rarely crowded, somewhat easy to miss, and extremely local. The place reminds me a ton of the Courtyard Ale House in Sunnyside, from the exterior to the darkly lit interior with an intimate bar setup. They too had an outdoor setup during the pandemic. The bartenders are friendly enough and the clientele is a lot of older folks that drink alone. There are some TVs, which are as small as the pub itself. The drink selection is pretty basic with some bottled beer and some limited taps. Whether it's a glass of Stella or a pint of Guinness, it's what most of the place is often drinking. There are some TVs playing sports and no food that I'm aware of. The plus side is that the drinks are going to be affordable and there is vibe is the least pretentious in the area. If one is looking for a simple ambiance with a little sports and a lot of local vibes, The Dugout completely fits the bill. Indulge in the personalities and have a pint while playing something from their jukebox. If one is lucky, it might just be on a night where there's a little live music.
