I'm so glad this bar is open during Covid, and operates safely, adapted to the times, but has still maintained it's original charm and splendid customer service. Somehow you can still sit outside on the artificial grass of the streets of New York and feel like you're back in Ireland. 10/10 would return (within the same day). read more

Dylan Murphy's - Irish Pub Near Me - New York, New York

I've been to this bar a few times and I always have a great time. The atmosphere is great for watching games, I've been here for football games as well as soccer games, and the drinks and food are great. If you come in later in the night and it's packed, check out the downstairs area which also has a bar and is usually a bit less crowded. I've had their crispy chicken sandwich, which is fantastic!! It's quite large and the chicken on it is perfect! Their fries are perfectly crispy and delicious. I also recommend their wings! Being from buffalo, I am very picky about my wings and these are by far the best you can get in the city that come close to the real deal! Definitely check this place out next time you're looking for a place to watch a sports game! read more

Dylan Murphy's - Wings - Irish Pub Near Me - New York, New York

Dylan Murphys has become a local hang out for myself and friends once we moved to the neighborhood a few years ago. Let me tell you this place is GREAT! We first started coming here due to the wings specials on Wednesdays which are so much better than rathbones or bar coastal. They taste great and the price is even better. Additionally, the bartenders all become your best friends that you look forward to seeing the next time you come in. All in all if you're looking for a great place with great drinks, great food and great company - this is it. read more

Just saw mr John again and he said he saw my review and said he's going to delete it. because he's the owner and he can. Is he the owner? Exactly, that's what I thought. John from Dylan Murphy's has a bright future ahead of him. Oh and this is the second review I've ever made on Yelp. That's how pathetic it really is to compel me to do this. Lastly. Before i could finish writing this some guy who claimed he was the manager came outside and took my phone out of my hand and threw it in the middle of the street in the middle of the rain telling me to get the f out of here. These dudes are a joke -- if you're a guy they perceive as a threat (semi attractive, not a regular, etc) this will happen to you. This place was gear until this happened -- never coming back to this bar again after they tried to destroy my personal property to save their "review score" So pathetic! read more

I was here last night as part of a private party in their downstairs area. Not being a huge fan of pubs/sports bars, I was a bit skeptical before coming here, but left pleasantly surprised. The drinks here are cheap and the service is top notch. Food was also surprisngly also very good, for the most part. Atmosphere-wise, it's just like any other pub. Obviously my experience was a little different given it was a giant private party where everyone knew each other, but noise-level vs music/tv was manageable and I didn't have to scream at the top of my lungs. Our bartender, Stephanie, was amazing. She was super cool, very friendly, chatty, and we got to know her a little bit throughout the night. It's not often I make conversation with bartenders, but she was so approachable, it was natural. She was always available for whatever we needed and more than accommodating to a room full of increasingly drunken people. Every bar needs a Stephanie! As for food, I have to say, I haven't had traditional buffalo wings in a while and these ones are the best in recent memory. Just enough sauce, crispy, and just the right amount of heat. I really enjoyed these... maybe a bit too much. The mozzarella sticks were also so good that we probably ordered 4 of them. The nachos were a bit too greasy and basic for my liking, but still edible. Didn't get to try the quesadillas since they always disappeared before I got to them. Basic pub in the UES with an amazing bartender and really, really good hot wings. I'm a fan. read more

Dylan Murphy's - Delicious wings - Irish Pub Near Me - New York, New York

Good place for what it is - an Irish/American bar with a small pub feel. Very tiny inside, but there are a few booths and a bar. Good bar food that is ready pretty quickly. We went all apps with sliders, wings and nachos. The nachos and wings were good, the sliders left a bit to be desired but it is pretty reasonable for the cost, location and time. I would recommend stopping in for a pint and a quick bite to eat. read more

Dylan Murphy's - Friendship - Irish Pub Near Me - New York, New York

Fantastic food, specifically the delicious wings (small and crispy[NOT breaded]), they also have glorious classic steak fries as well as Pigs in a Blanket!!!!which are scrumptious :) Further more the service is more than great. I had the pleasure of sitting with the booze while Sarah was tending bar. My experience was so relaxing and pleasant I felt it necessary to specifically mention her fun light attitude while maintaining the highest level of professionalism, prompt but polite service and personable and warm demeanor. I would give both Sarah and this establishment 6 stars if I could! read more

Dylan Murphy's - Irish Pub Near Me - New York, New York

Had plans with friends to bar hop on the UES starting with Dylan Murphy's - we ended up having so much fun here that we spent our entire evening at the bar because we didn't want to leave! The bar has an Irish pub type of look and feel to it but not in a cheap looking way. They have a good amount of seating, so it's not too hard to snag yourself somewhere to sit. If you're wanting to catch a game, they have a ton of TVs so it's a convenient spot for that. The bartenders working when we came in on a Saturday night were incredibly friendly and super quick. Every time I approached the bar, they served me within a minute or two despite being pretty busy. They offered a good selection of beers at great prices, which makes it an affordable bar to go to for a casual night out. Definitely plan on coming back soon and maybe trying out some of the food on the menu. read more

Dylan Murphy's - Inside the bar - Irish Pub Near Me - New York, New York

I rented out the bar with My friends for my birthday. Everything was going good until the bartender Finn started to manhandle me and refused to give me back my card? and they charged me 3 times the original amount and simply acted Like a child. One of the worst experiences in my life never rent out the bottom bar because they might just steal your card. Blake doesn't even have the stones to answer my email so he replies to this comment. And about what u said I'm never setting foot in that shit hole ever again. read more

Nice pub. Friendly service. Decent food. Good portion size. I especially like the wings special on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Dylan Murphey's is exactly what you want if you're looking for the familiarity and ambiance of a dive bar with the integrity of a real establishment. This bar has become my go-to place for a casual drink, and I've lost count of how many times I've been there or how many friends I've brought in for a drink. The waitresses are always friendly, there's never a wait for table, the music is good, and the bartenders are extremely social, even for NYC. I've had half the menu at this point and recommend the buffalo chicken salad, pot pies, burgers, and all their finger food. However, I strongly recommend their chicken wings, and they are definitely the closet wings that I've had to back home in Western NY (get blue cheese, not ranch!). I will probably be back within the week. Cheers! read more

Dylan Murphy's - Buffalo chicken salad - Irish Pub Near Me - New York, New York

ROACH alert! Ok, today was my second and last time at Dylan Murphy's. The first was a few months ago and all went well, food was very good, and service was good too... however before we left I used the restroom and there was a dead roach on the ground in the bathroom. I was disgusted but hoped it was just a one time thing. Today however, was another level.... We were just about to get our food, when I saw a roach run across the wood ledge behind our table. A few minutes later it was running across my friends face! Never again! Needless to say, we walked out immediately, and had an excellent lunch a few blocks away at another Irish pub. I just can't go back. And I now know that roach in the bathroom was not a one time thing. Met a friend during the day/mid week for lunch both times for perspective. read more

Forget about "taco Tuesday" Taco Thursday is WHERE ITS AT! $2 choice of fish ( a fav) , beef, veggie and chicken. Flavorful and worth it. All day as well as various well drunk specials. . read more

Dylan Murphy's is the best Irish dive bar in the city. It's truly a place where everyone knows your name! The staff is so friendly and nice, drinks are great and food is delicious! I've brought so many of my friends to this bar and made friends for life at this bar. My all time favorite spot on the ues! Finn is such a sweetheart he welcomes everyone with open arms! read more

Really cute little Irish bar. We swung by for a quick pint and found that they had a $2 taco special on Thursdays during happy hour. We ordered some and they were fantastic. My favorite was the beef and wife loved the pork taco. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. Friendly staff, good food and nice cold pint. Every thing you'd expect from a good Irish bar. read more

Went to the MET for the day and walked a couple blocks to have lunch at Dylan's. We ate outside in their COVID safe dining area, which was very nice. They even had a tv inside the outdoor patio they built, along with heater lamps above. A waitress came out immediately, we didn't know what we wanted so she gave us a few minutes and brought out waters. We didn't have to wait long for our food after we ordered and our waitress was so attentive! Getting one special order and everything came out correct. My mother ordered the Cobb Salad which she enjoyed, my sister ordered the quesadilla which she said she liked and was very cheesy, and I ordered 8 medium wings with a couple beers. The wings were great and the blue cheese was amazing. The medium wings to me weren't spicy at all, so I would go up a level next time, which there will most definitely be a next time. Great staff, good food and drinks everything at reasonable prices while being safe. Awesome job! read more

Made my way here last night after a long day at work and decided to grab a pint. Not a bad little Irish pub on the UES. Nice decor, clean, flat screens, good bartenders. Standard crafty beer list on tap but nothing to rave about. Some nice specials going on - .50 cent wings and $10 beer-burger-fries deal during 4-8 happy hour. Seems like they have specials going on all week. Definitely a locals type of bar. About ten people in here around 10PM when I dropped in. Not a total frat party, but when some of the regs started singing along to a Tom Petty and then a Bon Jovi song I gagged a bit on my beer. read more

After my friend invited me to Dylan Murphy's holiday party I was skeptical at first. Schlepping over to the UES is always a burden for this native upper west sider, but when he mentioned a two hour open bar suddenly all my reservations seemed to slip away! But in all seriousness, I had the chance to check out this spot for what it was and was pleasantly surprised. I arrived a few minutes before the event started and the place was packed. Given that this event was taking place I'll focus on other aspects of the restaurant. It's a two leveled establishment with both bars and seating on both levels. It definitely seems like it's a staple of the neighborhood since I heard several patrons welcomed by name by the bar staff when they walked in. The servers and the staff were friendly! Able to answer any questions I had, they worked methodically to take orders in a timely manner from the crowd. Even though this place was packed I was surprised at the short turn around time it took for me to get my drinks. I'd definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for a relaxed, homely environment where I can only imagine that the food is fulfilling and cheap, and where after a few visits the waitstaff will know you by name. read more

waitress was very nice but the owner or manager was rude and and obviously on a lame power trip. One manager told us to go downstairs for service while the other said "no you're not allowed and I'm the one who's in charge here". If you enjoy shitty service and men who have a lame need to feel important, this is ya' place. read more

We stopped by for a drink, and it looked super busy. We spoke with savannah, who literally ran out after us when we weren't able to get a seat to let us know there was room in the downstairs area! She served us all night and was super sweet and fun, checking in on us to make sure we had everything we needed! We'll come back as long as we can say hi to savannah :-) read more

Dylan Murphy's changed my life! I met my husband here on a Thursday night and it's all thanks to the wonderful staff. Best bar in the UES!

Been coming here most every night for the past month, Finn has really made me feel at home!Always friendly and quick to remember a face. Really glad I've been going here, each night has been a great experience! The rest of the staff (especially Deidre!) has been stellar as well! Great place to just chill and meet some great people! read more

I moved to the UES around 2020. I started going to DM on a whim and could not be happier to call this my "hometown" bar. They greet you with a smile and call you by your first name. First off, being from Buffalo, their wings rival any place that I've ever had and I like to think that I have a pretty good taste for that. The entire staff has been great and when they move on, the replacements are equally as friendly. I'm happy to have met Jack and Blake who take care of their customers as consulate owners. Love walking in to see Finn and Deirdre ready to see how I am and being able to have conversations on an almost daily basis. I love this place and am happy to have found it. read more

Great place. Came here the past 2 nights. The bar staff were friendly. The food was good. Great vibes. Will def be back.

I was waiting to review until I ate here more than once. I give Dylan Murphy's 4 stars based on the context of it being a neighborhood bar. It achieves the 4 stars that you'd expect for that. Deals: they have awesome deals. Monday: beer and burger for I believe $12. Tuesday I think is $5 appetizers with purchase of a drink. Wednesday 50 cent wings. Thursday $2 tacos. Happy hour 12-7 with $3 miller high life bottles, $4 bud light draft, and specials on other beers and well liquors. Service: bartenders are always friendly. They're the type that want to get to know the people in their neighborhood. Food/drink: tater tots are great! Cheeseburger ($13) was also pretty good. Bun ended up getting soggy, but flavor was there. Burgers/sandwiches come with a side of onion rings, tots, or fries. Buffalo wings are great - great flavor and great crisp. Buffalo tenders were subpar, they tasted like they were frozen and thrown in the deep fryer. Probably wouldn't order those again. $2 tacos were exactly what you'd expect for $2 tacos - small, lacking good flavor, but then again they're $2. Why are you ordering $2 tacos if that's not what you expect? My friends have also enjoyed the chicken sandwich and turkey clubs. Tap beers have good taste, unlike other bars in the area. My friends were happy with their well drinks as well. Atmosphere: typical neighborhood Irish pub. A lot of great beer and sports memorabilia on the walls that are cool to look at. Free WiFi. Good music. Tvs. Overall, what you're looking for in a spot like this. read more

Great music and good cocktails. Bartenders are incredibly kind and energetic :) speedy service. Good frozen drinks as well.

Service personable. Great for night out with friends or a stoic bar trip to check in with yourself over a Guinness and true to home Irish fare. read more

Cool little spot that will fit right in. Visited Dylan Murphy's on marathon Sunday and it was great. The waitress was sweet even though it was starting to get going for Sunday football and marathon spillover. She handled both with ease. The kitchen took way too long considering it wasnt THAT crowded. But, I had some really good chicken tenders. Which were reason enough for me to go back. read more

Came in on a Tuesday caught by a $5 appetizer sign .. the bar was full. I was greeted by the bartender with a menu,which I had to reach between bar patrons for . Sat down at the bar table, decided on "baked Mac & cheese"; which I had to go back to the bar to order. My meal arrived in under 15 minutes. What striked me hardest was that it wasn't baked ; and the ratio of cheese to noodles was 2:1 . The bartender Stephanie was excellent doubling as a server cleaning up after bar tables and controlling the whole bar . I'd come back with my friends as long as they put the Mac in the oven or the broiler read more

I absolutely adore this bar! The bartenders are fantastic - super friendly, charming, and personable. They make it a point to make you feel like a regular even if it's your first time in the bar.

Dylan Murphy's - Irish coffee!!!!!!!!!!!! - Irish Pub Near Me - New York, New York

Best wings in NYC. My wife and I have been going to Dylan Murphy's every Wednesday for 50 cent wing night for the last three years. While the Shepherds Pie, Mac & Cheese and Tater Tots are amazing... Chris who runs the bar most evenings is as much the reason we go. He's always welcoming and we enjoy his dry sense of humor. Tried the nachos the other night = solid. Unfortunately we'll be moving back to the West Coast in the next month or so as my job here has been eliminated. Chris and Dylan Murphy's will always be one of our better memories of our NYC experience. read more

As a native buffalonian, I am very picky about the wings that I eat. I can confidently state that Dylan murphys has a good chicken wing. Go on Wednesday and they are only 50 cents On sundays, they tend to have beer specials and it's only 15 for a pitcher. Great place read more

My go-to bar! I actually lived around the corner from here for a year a never knew it existed until a coworker took me here after I moved. The bartenders are super personable, and always leave me with a great experience. The food is great (You'd never expect it!) and the drinks are well poured. Definitely bring your crew here, you'll have a great time without a doubt. Also sidenote on some of the negative jukebox reviews I'm seeing here: Bartenders reserve the right to skip songs based on the mood of the bar. It keeps people going, and keeps everyone in the mood. The bartenders here also give your money back if they happen to skip a song that isn't appropriate. read more
