Fiddlesticks Pub feels like a millennial time capsule which I'm not mad at lol! Came here on a whim for a round of drinks. Ordered an espresso martini which was too strong for my liking. When asked to change for something else the server was very understanding and brought us something different. Also, the fries here are absolute perfection! read more

Amazing nachos who knew the Irish made such good nachos. I'm not sure what that Irish girl lily is doing there to make these nachos. The nachos were very good. Will be coming back with my beautiful girlfriend who is Mexican. read more

My fiancé and I stumbled on Fiddlesticks while looking for a spot to catch a soccer game--and it hit the mark! The dim, cozy vibe makes you feel like you've stepped out of NYC for a bit. Big surprise: the food was legit good. Mozzarella sticks were perfectly crisp, the buffalo chicken wrap delivered, and the fries were crispy with plenty of dipping sauces (always a win). We'll definitely be back! read more

Fun spot, great happy hour drinks! We got to sit at a really cute cozy table in the window! The cocktails were delicious and our server was incredibly nice and the drinks have out fast! read more

Don't go here if you r visibly queer. Was waiting for bathrooms and a group of 7-10 (straight) men were casually throwing around the F slur, when I confronted them and asked if they were gay and told them not to say that if they aren't gay they started calling me (a visibly gay person) the f slur and proceeded to go back and forth just calling me gay and berating me with homophobic slurs. Hella bystanders and nobody said a thing, very frustrating and dehumanizing. Not safe or fun if you are gay. Also drinks r overpriced. Cant say the owners or bartenders necessarily supported but they most certainly did not intervene and 100% saw what went down, atleast the bouncer did. Would expect more from a bar in New York City in 2026. read more

Popped in for a cocktail prior to a dinner reservation. Was initially seated at the bar where we met Timothy who is an extremely talented bartender. Super friendly and very accommodating. We had to move to a table as the rest of the crew had arrived. Christina took care of us and she was super friendly, knowledgeable and took great care of us. The drinks were incredible and we wanted to try some more. As a bar owner it's awesome to see such talent. I wish we could hire them. We highly recommended this place and we will visit again. read more

I think I was a little overenthusiastic about Fiddlesticks last time - 4 stars is more accurate. We visited later in the night this time around and the ambiance had completely transformed. Another reviewer said the patrons get younger and the music gets worse with every passing hour, which could not be more true! There was no wait to get in but the pub was pretty packed. No one was dancing, just standing around mingling. The drinks were still very good though and my sister loved her Cucumber Mule. They also still have a Yelp check-in offer for a free house shot. Overall, not terrible but I would probably stick to coming here earlier in the day. read more

Fiddlesticks has two personalities, much like Two-Face. Before 10pm, it is a quiet, casual, sparsely populated pub with affordable drinks that sometimes skew hot, perfect for freezing NYC nights when snow inexplicably falls. Get the Hot Buttered Rum, Hot Toddy and Hot Apple Cider to warm your nips. I like this side of Fiddlesticks. It pleases my inner 89yo. Sometime around 10pm, Fiddlesticks turns into the grandpa trying too hard to reclaim his lost youth. The music gets 10x louder, the quality of said music gets much worse, and the clientele get progressively younger by a decade with each passing half hour. By the time 11pm rolls around, those attractive 40-somethings you were making sexy eye contact with for the past two hours have been replaced by 23yo Jayden clones who never knew a world without iPhones. Everyone's packed in like a NYC rush hour E train, and no one knows what the heck is going on. It's not a club, but it's not NOT obnoxious like a club either. You know? My advice? Just come and leave before 10pm. read more

Went in here after having a bad experience with a waitress at another bar who was angry at us because we were a larger party. The server at fiddlesticks was so amazing though, as soon as we walked in, he started pulling chairs and tables to make a bigger table for us, he was always checking on us, etc. Drinks were good. The spicy marg smells really weird. Sweet potato fries were great. Nice place, would go again! read more

I'm not one to review pubs because they're all pretty much the same when it comes to their cocktails/beer/ambience. However, Fiddlesticks truly stood out. We popped in yesterday to watch the game & the host was super friendly & seated us right away. Obviously their beer selection is big, but what really stood out to me were the cocktails. I had an espresso martini & both their mezcal drinks, they truly tasted like a craft cocktail. I also noticed there were a lot of women there! If I'm ever looking to watch the game I'd definitely come back. read more

Great service and delicious drinks. We went on a slower weekday. Really cool atmosphere.

What a fun spot! I came here for the first time last night for St Patrick's Day! My friend and I go out on St Patty's Day every year and so we decided to do dinner here since bar hopping isn't an option yet. I'm so happy we did! The live music was really fun and brought a great atmosphere to the place. I had the moscow mule to drink. The ginger beer tasted freshly made to me! It had a really strong ginger flavor, which I loved, and wasn't too sweet. We split the nachos with chicken to start. They were great and piled high with lots of toppings! To eat, I had to go with the fish and chips! It was St Patty's Day after all! The fish was flaky and cooked perfectly. The coating was super crispy and the tartar went great with it. The fries were fresh cut and awesome! Definitely would recommend this dish! Overall, the experience was fun and it definitely had the pub vibe we were looking for. The service was slow in the beginning, but it was busy so we understood! Hope to be back for those fish and chips again soon! read more

Fun bar and follows NYC Covid-19 rules in place. My husband and I had always wanted to try out Fiddlesticks Pub and decided to take a walk over from Hell's Kitchen a few weekends back. It was very cold outside so my husband and I decided to do indoor dining. Upon entering the restaurant our temperatures were taken and we were promptly sat. At the table we did have to fill out the contact tracing form which was digital and quick. One thing I really loved about Fiddlesticks is that that they offer a number of 'hot' cocktails; my husband and I started with an alcoholic beverage, I had the hot toddy, while my husband had the hot apple cider both drinks were delicious. We also had the creamy spinach and artichoke dip as an appetizer/snack, the dip was super cheesy and oh so good! The only thing I noticed that was a negative was that there was only one server and he was having to handle the whole restaurant including outside by himself (he was a great server, however, you could tell he was stretched thin). Would definitely stop by again for a drink and food. Thanks for a great dining experience. read more

I understand I went ON Halloween but the server outside has absolutely no personality, said he would come back and fix out wobbly table and didn't and never even asked if we wanted another round of drinks or to order any food. We would d up leaving and getting dinner elsewhere. read more

Hands down the rudest Irish pub I've been to in NYC in 19 years in this city. Like borderline hostile.

It's a good, standard pub. I've been here for both food and drinks but think it's better left as a go-to for drinking. I have never gone super late to be fair, but each time I've popped in it has been plenty of space and not a ton of patrons. In the winter I have enjoyed this space more, it feels cozier. Service has always been great. 3/5 read more

I will never come here again. I reserved a private space here a couple months back. I emailed back and forth about it with one of the managers before booking. I specifically confirmed with her that we would have access to a bar in this reserved space and that people would be able to order their own individual drinks from the bar, without having to order through a waiter. She confirmed and explicitly wrote that the area has no wait staff. When we arrived, we were told that was incorrect. There was no bar even in the reserved space and the bar closest to it didn't even open until an hour into our reservation. We were only able to order through the waitstaff, which was the opposite of what I agreed to. Additionally, we were shoved into a tiny corner that definitely does not comfortably fit the amount of people it's intended to. This corner was at the front of the bar and the doors were open so we also had random people walking in and out of the bar through our party. One woman even sat down at our table and we had to get a waiter to ask her to leave! To add insult to injury, I reached out to the manager afterwards letting her know how terrible our experience was. She of course was apologetic and said the best she could do was give us $100 gift card. I responded that I would accept it and she literally ghosted me completely. Never responded and never gave me my gift card. They clearly don't care about their customers and have no idea what they're even offering when booking reservations. I would give zero stars if I could! read more

Strong/Good drinks, but a little pricey. Was bar hopping yesterday and stopped in for a bite and a few drinks. got the mezcal mule which was really good. But it was $15 and we just came from lower Manhattan and the same drink was less. Finding the bathroom is a definitely a maze . It's like on the second floor. This place has plenty of outdoor seating, which is why stopped in. read more

I love Fiddlesticks, great service, great atmosphere, great cocktails. You need to change your online hour of service though: I was there last evening with friends and you closed down at 10:00 PM. I hope post-Covid that more regular, later hours will begin to come back again as 10:00 PM is too early to close. read more

Always a great time at fiddlesticks. Drinks are great, atmosphere is fun and the staff is amazing!

Where to even begin! The bouncers outside were simply great. I expected a typical, somewhat aloof rude man at the door to glance at my ID and move on with his life, but instead I was entertained and heckled in the best way. I wish I stayed outside and hung out with him. If you're the bouncer and you're seeing this, I miss you. Walking inside truly felt like I was entering the gates of hell. The music was good, but hard to enjoy because it was at least 110 degrees and because of the insane ratio of girls to pretentious young men who if given the chance to answer the question "what is your favorite movie?" wouldn't hesitate to say "Wolf of Wallstreet." I hate to admit that I did enjoy the attention, so 3 stars it is. I would return due to the Spanish music and the similar vibe to every college bar in Florida, but would skip if you don't know why we (as in the United States) can't just print more money. read more

Cool place. Young crowd at night. The bar gets packed and stays packed. Drinks could have been a little bit stronger but the female bartender on the back/side bar had no clue what she was doing so took the good with the bad. read more

We booked the Perry Street Lounge for a pre-wedding event and could not recommend the venue enough. Kat was communicative, easy to work with and open to questions. Our wedding guests loved the feel of the venue - a chilled environment, offering classy cocktails and casual pub grub. Perfectly set the tone for our wedding weekend! The bar selection was bottles (pub were happy to order in our preference) however only draft beer in the main bar, so keep this in mind if you have a minimum spend tied specifically to the lounge. read more

Found this bar on our weekly brunch outing! The staff is super sweet and the atmosphere is super fun! It's a great place to bring a group of friends after a long week of work! Make sure you check in for a free house shot!! Wonderful beers on draft and the cocktails are amazing as well!! If you're looking to branch out into a new spot, make sure you make Fiddlesticks Pub a top choice! read more

We had a great time. Stopped in for a couple drinks in the way home. Nice whiskey selection, which if you have a couple Irish guys running a bar you expect nothing less. Glenfiddich and a Guinness were just what the doctor ordered. Came in a really whiskey glass as well. It was appreciated but also that's a bold move. I'd be surprised if they don't lose 10 glasses a week to people walking off with them. 5 out of 5 would recommend to a friend! read more

I'm 69 years old and I've lived in NYC my whole live. I've never been treated as rudely as I was at this pub. There are about 10 other restaurants within one block of this place. If you pick the worst one, it will be better than this place. read more

My boyfriend and I are visiting New York for a few days and had to try this place. We stumbled across it online and I absolutely loved the logo of the dog, so of course me being a dog fanatic we had to go. We loved it! The owner and his sister are so sweet! The logo is actually based off the owners real dog named Walter. The atmosphere there was very rustic and tavern like which was awesome! My boyfriend got a few of their whiskeys and Guinness and loved it. I got their espresso martini and cosmo and they were sooo good! They also had a live performer and he sounded incredible. I highly recommend this place! Im hoping we can come back to try their food next! read more

Came here for happy hour on Friday after work and didn't really end up ordering or looking at the happy hour menu ... oh well. Vibe of this Irish pub is pretty standard, nothing abnormally special. Got some cocktails about $15 a piece which was normal but nothing too crazy. Got a couple diff drinks and we all had a good time but no one expected anything special or got a nothing special. Pita and cheese dip was good. Best part is that they allowed dogs both indoor and outdoors. I'll prob come by again if in the city for happy hour, very pup friendly. read more

I usually don't write reviews but wanted to post this as a heads-up: the beer prices are INSANE. Every beer (for the most part) is $12 - $13, just check out their menu. I'm used to NYC prices but this is beyond ridiculous. read more

My friend insisted we come here even though I was pretty buzzed and really tired. I am so glad I did. I wish they had coat check. Maybe they did and I didn't pay attention, but it was not fun holding my big parka while trying to dance and drink. First world problems huh? I always tell my friends from Rutgers that I wish I can go back to school for a week with everyone around. What I miss most is the college bar scene. This place took me back to my college bar days. The drinking, the dancing, and just meeting people. The demographic is a bit on the younger side. Or maybe I was unlucky. If you are in your early 21s (drink legally all) and miss college, doubt it..., go here. I know I will be visiting here again. My friend is a fan. I think I'll eventually convert into one as well. read more

A divey bar in the heart of the west village. I love it! Fiddlesticks is a dark pub with a bar that's tilted?? This place was probably here for 100+ years. Its very dark inside and the floors, man... You need to be aware of your surroundings. There are dark steps in a few spots that aren't standard heights. Going to the bathroom is not recommended after a few drinks. There are steps involved, be careful! There are tables for outside dining, I'm not a fan of that in NYC. It's a crowded sidewalk, get away from me suckas! Inside the pub is decorated with old items from New York City. Horse saddles, shoe shine chairs and old bar mirrors. Its an hodge podge of items hanging around. There is a back room where we stayed, drank and mostly hung out as well as smoking a few stogies outside. Fiddlesticks, nice old place to drink a beer on tap. Can someone explain the tilted bar? read more

Fiddlesticks has been a staple for me during covid. They are following all of the protocols and I feel very safe when I'm there. The drinks here are all amazing and so creative! You can have an interesting drink no matter what type of alcohol you like. The espresso martini is one of my favorites but also love the heart beet (if I want to feel "healthy" while drinking). The holiday drinks were soooooo good! Loved the Santa's coffee and their Irish coffee is also amazing. read more
