    These are two chalk signs. One says: BACK PATIO OPEN and the other has: ALL DAY SPECIAL $6 WHISKEY OF THE DAY $9 CAN + SHOT - ASK INSIDE

    Short Review: Great neighborhood bar! Longer Review: I don't drink but I pass by this place every day and it is always bustling! I REALLY NOTICE typography, signage, lettering etc. and one of their chalk signs assaulted my eyes (they even apologized on the sign writing: "I have terrible handwriting" and that made me guffaw and LOL. I awkwardly went in (I am not smooth) and suggested I'd do their signs for free. They did not take me up on the offer but they were very kind & friendly and the bar looks great! And now their signs are adequate! Check out their PATIO!

    Great casual neighborhood Irish pub with a contemporary feel, jukebox with great feel good music, darts and a very friendly bartender. A number of televisions airing different sports games. They changed locations from their previous upper east side spot. Recommend as a chill neighborhood spot or to watch games

    Gaf lovely peeps!

    Great casual pub on the UES. It's kind of between dive bar and pub. Great place to see games, have a neighborhood feel and kick back.

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with champagne, which immediately set the tone for a special evening. Our server, Daniel, was beyond amazing. He was warm, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making our anniversary meaningful. It never felt forced just thoughtful, polished hospitality. The team went above and beyond when we brought our wedding cake (which had been frozen for a year). Not only did they accommodate it without hesitation, they helped decorate and present it beautifully you would have thought it had been baked that same day. It was such a touching moment for us, and they handled it with care and enthusiasm. As for the food: incredible. The steak tartare was perfectly balanced and beautifully prepared. The tuna was fresh and vibrant. And the Beef Wellington... honestly one of the best I've had in New York City. Perfectly cooked, rich, elegant, and absolutely worthy of a celebration dinner. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance: romantic, warm, refined but relaxed. It felt special without being stiff. If you're looking for a place to celebrate something meaningful, this is it. We will absolutely return.

I wouldn't return and I should of read reviews before I went I will not return. The scallops were delicious and the not colada cocktail but at that price point to not being given my food and proper service is a shame.The fish was OK and the sticky toffee was delicious.

Always a solid choice, though it could have been a bit colder. The bartenders were very nice and attentive, and the place clearly has a strong group of regulars. There was a friendly, familiar energy in the room that made it feel welcoming right away. Once my friend arrived, I tried "The Greatest Espresso Martini" and asked to swap the vodka for bourbon. They were very accommodating, and the drink turned out delicious. Rich, smooth, and good enough that I ordered a second. The music and lighting both hit the right balance, making it an easy, comfortable place to settle in for the night.

Unfortunately, our server only heard that 5 of us wanted afternoon tea, and one of the tiers of food was smaller than the others. We also had to pay extra for additional tea, which we were fine with, but service was severely lacking throughout. Our server didn't check up on us, and seemed to want us to leave quickly after dropping off the check. We would have been happy to pay the $65 each for afternoon tea, but it wasn't worth it and frankly, I was agitated by the whole ordeal by the time I left. We were also disappointed by the food items (as they were lacking) and nothing about this was like other experiences we had with other afternoon teas. I can't in good faith recommend this place, nor do I see myself coming back after the atrocious service we experienced.
