We stopped here for drinks on Wed 12/27/25 4pm before our return on a bus trip to Bryant Park. This was our second visit here, short walk from Bryant Park. Found seats at the bar. Were brought our drinks & menus by friendly bartender. Big place with a sparse crowd until the work shift arrived at 5pm, then nearly full house. Great bar selection of draft beers, wine, & extensive liquor offerings. Fun atmosphere-friendly mix of patrons. We shared an app & two more drinks. Very clean restrooms downstairs. Fair prices for NYC. We enjoyed our short visit. Open 11am-4am Mon-Sat, 12pm-4am Sun. Sunday brunch 12pm-4pm. Also locations in Midtown & Times Square in NYC. We highly recommend Gabby O'Hara's for a fun, friendly visit. Thank you, Nick & Liz, Albany, NY, USA read more

I came here to grab dinner and drinks with coworkers. The bar seems pretty popular for locals who work in the adjacent buildings. The nachos were well cooked and had a decent portion of chili, cheese and jalepenos. I had the fish and chips, which were delicious. The fish was flaky and came with a healthy serving of tar tar sauce. The fries were also well cooked. I look forward to enjoying more drinks here in the future. read more

We came here for a work lunch on a weekday. I ordered The Classic burger with fries. It tasted fine, but it wasn't life changing or anything. If you go, I recommend coming for drinks and getting food somewhere else. read more

I was really hungry on the way home after a gig & was passing by here & stopped, but the kitchen was closed when I got there - no late night food, sadly, so only had a Guiness, which was great, tho. This part of Manhattan really has a wide mix of all types of people from all walks of life, & late at night, many are 1/2 or more in the bag, & things here get weird & funny. I wld def recommend ! read more

Stopped in this little Irish pub to watch the Knicks game the other night and had a great time setting at the bar enjoying a Guinness for me and a Negroni for my wife. It was a good time with the masses watching basketball... read more

This is a really cute traditional Irish pub right around the corner from Residence Inn where we are staying. A lot of locals which made it more fun and service was really good. Shared shepherds pie, chicken pot pie and a French onion soup. Soup was not my favorite, shepherds pie was good but the standout was the chicken pie. Creamy filling full of chicken and veggies with a flaky puffed crust-delicious! read more

Let's just start with disappointing. We hoped for good pub food, but the beef stew had no carrots (at all), and I had to cut so much fat off the beef cubes, it took up half the bowl. Don't be deceived by the good reviews, or read them carefully, maybe beer and wings are good, can't say. Sorry we stopped here before our Broadway play, won't return. Ambience was what you would expect, and service was slow, very busy. read more

You won't find a better Irish pub in Manhattan. Every time I've made it here I order the BLT, because it's so good. Need to try the other things on the menu. Ya, they know how to pour a Jameson. read more

Met my friend for a stroll through Midtown today. We came upon by chance as we were searching for a spot to sit & eat. We both had fish & chips. The waiter was nice, my Irish Mule was refreshing. I would return. read more

I'd give it 7 stars if I could. I love this f*cking place. Yelp is forcing me to write more words prior to posting, but no more words are necessary. read more

Shit service. Went in wanting to order drinks. We made eye contact with the server and bar tender and even sat at the bar but I guess they didn't want to take our money. Waited for about 10 minutes for nothing before we left for a bar next door. Go to Stout NYC.. they're much better. read more

Me and my coworkers "goto" spot for Friday night happy hour. Our routine is usually to grab a table with no wait time, order within 2 minutes of sitting down and keep ordering baskets of fries and beers throughout the night. What makes Gabby's the best Irish pub in the neighborhood is in my opinion its affordability. Beers are very cheap around happy hour and beat the prices of other pubs just a few blocks in either direction. Additionally the beer selection is quite good and our group likes to buy "harp" and "irish red" here a lot. They aren't anywhere else we know of, are tasty... And they make you feel Irish drinking them. Foodwise we usually just get appetizers. They give you a lot of fries per basket which is great.. Though if we could make one minor criticism it's that the salt level per order can be inconsistent. Their main entrees have been good too and I have stopped over sometimes here to grab a cheap burger. I don't think we, nor I, have ever come here with a wait time. Even when it feels crowded in the front there is always tables available in the back. It is something we just expect from O'harras at this point. There's not much more that's needed to be said about this place. It has great beers, is affordable and is easy to get into. Honestly that's all you need to be for greatness in midtown Manhattan. read more

Great place to unwind after work. Food is great and reasonably priced. The staff is friendly and make you feel welcome.

Highly suspicious. I came here for a coworkers going away drinks and had my card on the tab. After the party was over, I forgot the card at the bar. After calling them, they assured me that my card was there and I can pick it up the next day. Everything was seamless, until a week later I began seeing weird charges on the card from "Amazon Prime". This card was never used for Amazon, after calling them, Amazon said that this card was used with another account. Nothing about this business, but probably a bad actor (bartender) that night, this card has never left my sight except for that night. I should have known better and just closed the card. Lazy me read more

Decided to try this place out after exploring New York. Was not impressed! My fish and chips were tasteless. The reason I gave it 2 stars is because the waiter was so sweet ! read more

Friendly staff, good service. Food was great, great drinks and awesome to talk with the staff!! Have a drink here!

This place is a go-to lunch spot for myself and my coworkers whenever they're looking to grab a beer as well. It's a place with great atmosphere, friendly staff, and a diverse crowd of people that come in-- whether they be tourists, business people, etc. One thing that is extremely underrated at this establishment is the food. I haven't had too many French Onion soups in my life, but this one is the best I've had so far. At $5 a cup, it's a go-to order for me on cold winter days. Also, the wings are the crispiest, freshest I've had in a long time. They bring them out as soon as they're done cooking so you'll need to give them a minute to cool down before devouring them... I always burn my mouth on the first one because yes, THEY ARE WORTH IT. I also like how they give you the buffalo sauce on the side so you can decide if you want to completely smother them in it, or just lightly coat them. That's always a crowd favorite. Shepard's Pie is also a notable dish! Portions are quite large here, but with the quality tasting so good-- you'll want to just eat it all up regardless! read more

Delicious food!! My wife had the Chef's salad and I had the Turkey Club. Both were very tasty!! The fries were good also. There was only one waitress and she was very busy but also very attentive. read more

Great easy going pub. We just wanted a relaxed place to grab a meal and a couple of beers. The staff were all nice and great to have a chat with. We ordered the chicken with 'chip shop' curry and a burger, both were solid meals and were fresh and tasted great. Definitely recommend and I will definitely be coming back. read more

I personally made a yelp account just for this. Now let me get this straight, I want to say the southern Irishmen I met was a big homie. absolute mad lad and seems like a good bloke. the staff however? absolutely despicable. I was served a beer onto my table as I went to the bathroom, I come back to my outside seating (they wouldn't let us sit inside, btw it's 60 degrees.) I was sat at a table that had a chair that wobbled so badly it fell as I sat on it. I went in to to tell them,, and not only did they deny me the drink i paid for, they put responsibility onto me. They denied me reentry and stated I was too drunk to do anything About it. I'm here to say that while I am drank two beers before then. I'm certainly not incomprehensible.. I would never reccommend anyone to this place. please spend your money at any of the five other Irish bars in the area. As I was trying to speak to them they claimed the bar was closed, yet had a staff party which they were pouring drinks at. All this to say, the bartenders don't care about you, they want your money and nothing else. Sorry to my southern Irish homie, and fuck your staff. -sincerely, not a burner account. Derek read more

After a long day of sightseeing, we wanted something on the way back to our hotel. Gabby's was close so we decided to stop in. Eh. I wish I could report a better review. Our waitress was really underwhelmed by being at work that evening. She really had no motivation or desire to provide good service. I was disappointed. The same went for the food. I ordered the Buffalo Grilled Chicken Salad with Prosciutto. The salad definitely had plenty of grilled chicken to feed a village. I actually took a box back to the hotel since it was so much. But the prosciutto was strange and didn't really taste like the prosciutto I am used to. I almost think they had a bad cut and didn't notice. Beside the amount of chicken, the salad was just plain and boring. I was surprised they would have this dish on their specials menu. Unimpressive pretty much sums up my visit to Gabby's. read more

Did you ever pass a place and say "Hmmm... It looks a little shady, but something is drawing me near" That's what happens when you get close to Gabby O'hara's in NYC. It doesn't really have a welcoming look to the outside of the building. Old decorations in the window that are a wee bit on the dusty side and a window that doesn't look like it's been cleaned in years. That all stops when you walk inside! Welcome to Ireland! It's clean as a whistle inside with brilliant decorations and a wonderfully Gaelic atmosphere! And when you are greeted by the bartender and he sports an Irish accent, you KNOW you're in the right place. We sat down and ordered. I had the jalapeno Lamb burger with cheese and mushrooms. The understatement is it was to DIE for! And if that wasn't enough, it came with ... ready... CORN FRITTERS!!!! WOW!!! My darling girl had a corn beef sandwich that was a little dry. They also toasted the bread without asking. That wasn't great and she kinda choked it down. They would need to use a less lean cut of corn beef. However, as bad as that was, we were still very impressed by this little hidden gem in NYC! If you are in the area, please make sure you stop here and grab a Guinness and cheers to good ole Ireland! read more

Chicken pot pie is amazing. Came here 2 years ago and went back just for that. Late night. Friendly Irish environment. Makes great left overs too. . read more

Draft Beer is always cold and fresh. Proper Guinness always. Bartenders have great conversation and personality. Club sandwich and curry fries are delicious. Skip stout and check out this true midtown Irish pub read more

My mom and I stopped in for dinner before catching our bus home from Bryant Park. When we walked in there were a significant amount of people eating so we thought that was a good sign. My mom ordered the French Onion soup and a side salad. The soup was great! Not too salty like many other French Onion offerings and the salad was very large and colorful for being only a side salad. I ordered a salad off the dinner specials menu. It was a barbecue chicken salad with peppers, avocado, feta cheese, bacon and other yummy salad veggies. The amount of chicken was slightly overwhelming as it seemed like they put the equivalent of nearly two and a half breasts on it. Another thing was that our server mentioned she had been there since the morning and the person coming in to relieve her (at 4pm and it was now 6pm) never showed up. So while being on for much longer than she should have and being responsible for the entire dining room, I thought she did a fantastic job. My salad had taken much much longer than ideal and had come about 15-20 mins after my mom's food came out, I honestly didn't care because I, having dabbled in restaurant life, understood. Lastly, on top of all the waitress was going through, I asked if I would be able to get an order of an item that was offered as an accompaniment with another dinner special - "Sweet corn tots". In addition to saying yes to wanting an order, she gave them to me on the house! That was above and beyond on her part. A man even stopped by our table and asked us what they were as he was a regular at Gabby's and had never seen them before. Overall great experience aside from the long wait during the dinner rush with only one server. Great service, great food, and authentic Irish accents! read more

Ayah, you can get a good burger right here at a traditional Irish bar. I'm afraid that's about all I can tell you about Gabby O'Hara's. They have beer and whiskey a'plenty too. And they won't nickel and dime you. And the accents are authentic. And the service is pretty good. That about covers it. Just remember it is better to spend money like there's no tomorrow than to spend tonight like there's no money. read more

Great service & drinks! Good vibe and all around great time. I highly recommend the French fries!

This was our second stop on the Irish pub crawl for St. Pattys day. It wasn't too packed, and the drinks were extremely affordable. The bartenders were friendly, the booths were comfy, and my friends all left drunk and happy with money in their pockets. The staircase was a little sobering, but the bathrooms were clean. They ran out of toilet paper halfway through our visit, and never refilled it (even though I mentioned it to our server a few times). I think she was just as drunk as I was. I don't remember too much more, and from this point of the evening on, I'm clueless. read more

Liam and Jordan are the best bartenders, great hospitality and amazing service, I've never felt more at home than this bar. I've come here multiple times and I get top-notch service every time. A great place to have a good conversation, enjoy music, AND get strong drinks. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! read more

Great authentic Irish pub!! A real gem in the District that was next to our hotel. The fries rocked and the burger was juicy, after we sent the first one back. The manager comp'ed a drink too. The atmosphere was just perfect, awesome music and real Old New York. Definitely would come back. It's a great hang. And there were real Irish people who worked there and were patrons! read more

Our family of four - two adults and two teens - were in town the week of Thanksgiving. We'd been shopping in Bryant Park after a long day. Everyone was tired and hungry. We didn't want a fancy, expensive restaurant just good food and some place warm to sit. We stumbled across this place and hit the jackpot. It was probably around 8 or 9 pm. Mainly just people at the bar having a few drinks and watching whatever sporting event was on. We sat at a table in the back. No one was around us and for a bar, it was relatively quiet. My husband can't stand loud places but he liked this one. A young guy from the bar brought our menus and took our order. The food was sooo good! My husband and I had the Irish beef stew and the young man decided to order a bowl for himself because it looked so good. We couldn't have picked a better place or better food for a cold, dark night. We've marked this on our list of restaurants to definitely return to next time we're in the city. Location-wise, it was still in the midtown area, convenient to Times Square, Bryant Park, and our hotel on W 36th. The young man who served us was extremely nice and friendly which only made our experience even better. read more

If you're looking for a proper Irish pub in midtown this is a great choice. The outside is unassuming and the inside is spacious, they have TVs with all the games on them.

I've had work lunches here several times and drinks after work, never having been disappointed. read more
