Racist Owner. This was the second bar we walked into on 1/22/2017 (big Sunday football) While waiting off to the side, while my friends got their drinks at the bar, I was approached by a waitress. She asked me if she could help me with anything, I replied "I'm ok, thank you" (I'm black btw). She than asked, nothing to drink? nothing to eat?, I replied no to both (was drinking all afternoon, so I was pacing myself). She than asked, if I was waiting for the bathroom, I replied no to that as well. She than told me that I could not stay. These words came out of her mouth. Shocked of course, I than asked her "I can't stay even though my friends (who are all white) are all drinking?" She than quickly replied, oh I thought you were alone, I thought you were alone and quickly walked off. (I guess they don't think black and white people hang out?) The owner, who initiated this whole thing, stood by in the corner and watched the entire exchange. I should add, one of the girls that was with us (who was white), was standing next to me without a drink in her hand (yet) and she was never approached or bothered. I'm writing this review to share my experience at this establishment. I'm the absolute last person to ever scream racism, but put yourself in my shoes for a sec, and see if you can call it anything else. I'm a lifelong New Yorker, who loves going out and having drinks with friends, this experience will not change that. I refuse it to. read more

Chris is awesome. Definitely a must go if you're around this area. Great drinks, great food.

Such a great neighborhood bar - friendly and fun staff, good bar food and awesome atmosphere. A staple.

This is the quintessential neighborhood bar. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious. We love this bar and visit regularly.

Dylan Murphys is an all around great neighborhood bar! There's a good selection of beers on tap and bottles as well as some good specialty beers. The food menu was also very good. The cheese burger and wings we had were awesome! There is also a little bar downstairs called "The Nook" that's open on the weekends and for small private parties. All around great atmosphere, fun and friendly bartenders, even the regular customers seemed fun, outgoing and welcoming. Will absolutely be back!!! read more

Great neighborhood bar. Its the perfect place to sit and hangout with a couple of friends. The staff is friendly and the turkey club is awesome. I'd definitely recommend checking it out. read more

Great neighborhood bar. $12 burger/fries/draft deal is really hard to beat and the price belies how good the burgers are (and it's $10 during Monday night trivia). Hands down some of the best pub food I've had in the city, including their Wednesday Wing Night. And the Monday night trivia game is really fun! The hosts have some interesting rounds (audio clips, picture rounds, Lost in Translation) and the bar gives out some great prizes. I also like that it starts at 7pm and gets done by 9. Kinda nice for a Monday. Bottom line: Definitely worth stopping by. read more

While Manhattan has many bars, if you want to go to a bar where you feel like family Dylan's is the place! They have an amazing staff and wonderful food! One of the bartenders, Jerrah, is AMAZING and will make you feel right at home. read more

The food is good but everyone should come and hang out with Sarah. She's the best bartender I've ever met. So kind and personable.

Came in here for a Happy Hour on a Tuesday. The bartenders were amazing ! Really friendly neighborhood bar. Everyone is very happy and upbeat. Definitely coming back read more

Awesome friendly spot. Always feel welcomed, treated like a regular from day one, which is pretty rare. Great happy hour, amazing buffalo wings! Love a good jukebox and the staff are all wicked great fun. Good mix of folks here, always get to chat to someone interesting, no idiots! Almost don't want to give it 5 stars in case I can't get a seat next time... read more

Sadly, this place wasn't great. We bought $5 worth of (pretty well known) music and did not hear any of it 3 hours later. The bartender had nothing to say, and the place itself seemed pretty racially stratified. I felt awkward and upset. read more

Pretty average bar, nothing special about it. Clearly a "regulars" sort of bar. Me and a few friends went to get a drink, we were having a good time until one of us was hit from behind with a beer bottle. The person who hit him fled off, and the manager of the bar stopped us from pursuing him, assuring us that he had called the police and informed them of the incident. After assessing my friend's wounds, preparing to take him to the hospital we were told that the person who did this was a regular at the bar, and that the police were not, in fact, called. The manager was merely defending one of his patrons, he even delivered the guy his check, so that he could get his card back. What a place! read more

One of my absolute favorite bars in the city! Spent some time living on the Upper East Side this summer and started going for their trivia nights on Mondays. Trivia is always a blast-- I now trek up from Bushwick and it's totally worth it. Everyone who plays trivia has a great time and it's a great way to spend a Monday night. Overall great atmosphere and the bartenders are all fantastic. Definitely has a neighborhood casual vibe, everyone who plays trivia is chatty and you get to know the regulars at the bar. Really welcoming place with pretty good deals-- $12 for a beer, burger and fries on Monday nights, cheap pitchers, etc. Doesn't get very crowded although I'm usually their during off hours so I'm not sure how it is at peak times on Friday and Saturday nights. Probably not what you're looking for if you want something trendy but it's very solid as a pub and goes above and beyond what you'd expect for service. I'll definitely keep going back to catch up with my favorite bartenders and (maybe) one day actually win trivia night! read more

Love this neighborhood bar! The staff are always so friendly, especially Stephanie who is the best bartender around!! This is our favorite spot for brunch as well as their amazing happy hour until 8. Definitely recommend! read more

We stopped in for a drink or two on July 4th, walking home from dallas BBQ. The bartender, named Jack, was so entertaining, and the bar so thoroughly comfy, that we ended up staying and drinking all night. No food yet, but we were told it was coming soon, as the place was new. They're also building a downstairs, which should be interesting. No pool or darts, which is a bit of a minus, but good beers on tap, good music selection, and bar crack all made up for it though. Good times. read more

Love this place. A proper local spot. The bar staff (Chris and Steph) are great craic and the Irish breakfast is some stunning grub.

Amazing Irish pub. Authentic but also modern all at the same time. I will definitely be coming back here more often!

I've stopped into this bar from time to time on my way home from work and have always enjoyed the great bartenders and music. However it's been a while since I've been there and now their full kitchen is open. Not only is it open but I'm quite certain they have the best wings on the UES...not to mention a fantastic french dip sandwich too! read more

Decent selection of beers with reasonable prices. Bartenders are friendly and fun conversationalists. I noticed some girls drink more than their share of alcohol, and the female bartender (Efa?) walked them home. Haven't come in for their specials yet (Wing Wednesday, Taco Thursday, etc.) but plan on dropping by soon. read more

Good music and really friendly staff. Otherwise just a run of the mill Irish bar. The pub grub is decent.

Definitely not feeling this place at all. Walked by after being out downtown and a friend just had to walk in because she heard Micahel Jackson playing. We got beers and they smelled and tasted so bad. Something was not right. One friend got a mixed drink and it was so watered down, it actually tasted like water. Wasn't really feeling the vibe anyway so we tried to finish our drinks (I ditched my beer, it was that bad) and left ASAP. I accidently checked in here twice and I definitely didn't mean to because I won't be coming back. read more

Best bar in the upper east side. Friendly staff, great food and fun crowd. When you come in you are made to feel at home. Have made many lifelong friends here. read more

Great time at trivia night at Dylan Murphy's. Good drink/food specials going on and the service was great, very friendly server. Will be back for more trivia and football season! read more

There are so many better bars in the area. This place has been slow to get beers out every time I've gone, and some of the staff seem a little ditzy. The food is meh. Trivia night can be fun (not sure if they are still doing this). read more

Dylan Murphy's has the best bang for the buck on the UES. The happy hour is from 4-8 every day. The food is great and cheap. The wings are incredible, the french dip is fabulous (actually the au jus is addictive) and the selection is well thought out for a pub. For a sports fan like myself, the walls are covered with plasma tvs so I can always watch the sporting event of my choosing. The crowd is a great mix of regulars and newcomers, not too mature and not too young which is a feat for the UES bar scene. The bartenders are friendly, efficient and attentive. There is not a better bar on the UES. read more

Great bar on the upper east side. Good atmosphere. Irish pub with great drinks and good food. The staff is fabulous, make sure to talk to Jenn the bartender when you get here! Burger, fries & a beer for 10-12 bucks! Doesn't get better than that! read more

Fun atmosphere, typical greasy yet delicious bar foods, drinks made well - overall a fun time! The bartenders make the place - such great people. read more

One of the friendliest and open bars I've ever visited in NYC. Fantastic food and phenomenal staff!!!!

Two big thumbs up for Dylan Murphys!! I come here a lot for the atmosphere and fun crowd, but they've just picked it up a notch with their new kitchen. Just had the burger and wings!! Well done! Highly recommend it!! read more

It's always an entertaining time when you go to Dylan Murphy's. Whether it's the cozy, neighborhood/local bar feeling or the friendly staff ...I'm not sure, but it all works for a great bar, and the wings. Yum! Perfect night! read more

I love Dylan's. Really good food and so fun!!! The best bartenders in the world!! We come here at least once a week

Dylan Murphy's is a great local hangout and my personal favorite on the Upper East Side. The beer and liquor selection is impressive and the food is excellent! Get an order of hot wings, you'll be hooked! The bartenders are all pros, easy to talk with and always ready with your next pint. They have several flat-screen TV's showing sports events and the staff are always willing to change the channel to whatever you want to see. Added bonuses are the darts board, Touchtunes, and the bar downstairs called the Nook (great for private parties!). The crowd is fun and welcoming, but chill. No B&T fist pumpers. If you haven't stopped in yet, make it a priority. You won't regret it. read more

This review is strictly for a particular item on the menu, their Chicken Pot Pie. It's bangin! Like the perfect coke and the perfect hookup (which you didn't have to pay for) you had not so long ago. Freakin sweet! Make sure you order it when Rebecca or Teresa are in, cause I guarantee you will nut in your mouth, as well as other places. Love the pie! read more

Yum! So glad they serve food, bc Sunday funday is only appropriate with good barfood( including pigs in blanket( fresh!) and a good burger, surprisingly for sports bar! Will definitely come again another football Sunday! Seems like lots of regulars, only second time I had been but bartender gave me freebie after 3rd drink! Was nice to feel welcome after only 2 visits! Would def come back for another round read more
