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.

Tucked away in the heart of Sunnyside, Queens, McGuiness Bar is more than just a local watering…read morehole - it's an experience. This Irish pub seamlessly blends old-world charm with a welcoming vibe that makes it feel like home from the very first step inside. Whether you're a local or a first-time visitor, there's something undeniably special about this place that keeps you coming back. First, let's talk about the Guinness. If there's one thing McGuiness does right, it's pouring a perfect pint. Each glass is poured at the perfect temperature, with that signature cascade that transforms the beer into an art form. It's the kind of pour that Guinness enthusiasts live for. The rich, creamy head that rests atop the dark liquid is a mark of excellence that sets McGuiness apart. But McGuiness isn't just about beer - their Irish coffee is an absolute standout. Every cup is brewed with care, delivering the perfect balance of whiskey, freshly brewed coffee, and just the right amount of cream. Honestly, if I had to rate it, I'd say a 9.9 out of 10 - it's that good. The slight edge away from perfection is just my way of staying humble, but believe me, this is the best Irish coffee you'll find in town. What makes McGuiness truly exceptional is the service. During the day, Kieran is the man behind the bar, offering friendly conversation and expert knowledge about every drink on the menu. 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. Whether it's a laid-back Tuesday afternoon or a packed Saturday night, McGuiness consistently delivers on quality, service, and atmosphere. There's no pretense here - just authentic Irish hospitality that makes every visit feel like a cherished moment.

A perfect pint of Guinness, unbeatable Irish coffee, and an atmosphere that makes everyone feel like family - it doesn't get much better than this. Perfect For: * Irish coffee lovers * Guinness aficionados * A cozy night out with friends * Local regulars and first-time visitors alike Final Verdict: If you're in Sunnyside, McGuiness Bar is your spot. It's where tradition meets community, and where every pint and every conversation feels like part of something bigger. A true hidden gem in Queens.

Solid Irish Pub in Sunnyside with good vibes - and an excellent pour of Guinness. Probably the…read morebest in town. 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.

I saw her greet and hug multiple regulars like old friends -- it's clear she knows everyone and they adore her. She's only behind the bar Monday through Friday, so make sure you stop by when she's there! And I'm sure the weekends are great too! Actual neighborhood pubs are few and far between in Long Island City, especially around Hunters Point, so this place is a breath of fresh air. PJ's has been around for a while and it shows -- it's well-established, locally owned, and run by someone who truly knows what makes a great bar. The menu is massive and everything is priced like happy hour all the time -- no need for one because it's already that affordable. (Sadly I did not get any photos of my food because I engulfed them immediately!) The French onion soup is one of the best I've ever had, and the fish and chips are excellent. Regulars rave about the shepherd's pie, turkey dinners (and the fresh turkey and turkey sandwich -- real turkey, not deli slices!), and wings, so those are next on my list. They also run great daily specials: * Prime rib with potato and vegetable for just $27 (Sun-Thurs) * Burger and a beer for $12 (Mon-Wed) * Irish specials on Tuesdays ($13.95 for shepherd's pie, corned beef and cabbage, or fish and chips) It's right off the 7 train at Vernon Blvd-Jackson Ave -- super convenient for a quick drink or bite before heading home, or to stay for the day. Come to PJ's -- you won't be disappointed! PS the music is soooo good and perfect volume on with Bridget's playlist.

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.
