    Mozzarella Sticks
    T. G.

    Solid late night spot- 4 friends and I stopped in after dinner for an evening cap- they closed around 11/11:30 I think? Waiters were attentive and they had live music. I didn't go to the bathroom but heard it was very small so warning....go to the bathroom prior to coming here! lol Since it's covid time we also had to order food- we shared pigs in a blanket and mozzarella sticks. The perfect ending to a fun girls night!!

    a fireplace in a pub

    Threw a surprise bday for my boyfriend here last weekend and this was hands down the best event planning experience I've ever had in NYC. We rented a private room upstairs for a very reasonable price for NYC. Our waitress absolutely crushed it and kept the drinks flowing all night long, which is so impressive given how many people we had. I was so worried that we wouldn't be able to get drinks like at so many other restaurants/bars when there's a server instead of bar service, but she was so attentive and all around great throughout the night. On top of that, the manager James was INCREDIBLY kind throughout the planning process as well as that night. I can't thank him enough for his patience in answering my million questions that I called about, as well as helping me set up for the party. The party was a smashing hit and everyone had the best time. The night was SO so special and it wouldn't have been possible without James and our kickass waitress (I unfortunately cannot remember her name! but she was great). It was his favorite birthday he has ever had, and a memory we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Planning an event in nyc is such a pain sometimes (people can be so unkind and difficult!), but the Galway hooker team made it so easy and stress free. I will definitely be doing all future events like this at the Galway Hooker!!

    Upstairs during gay pride parade

    We happen to run into this bar as we were trying to scape the crowds of the pride parade it was hot out & we wanted drinks. The place was jammed pack but still had some wiggle room to move about we stayed at the bar below, drinks had some Summer ale beer nice & cold ... after a few of these we needed something to pick on & got an order of the Mozzarella sticks not sure how nice I was but these were great!! Big mozz sticks were good nice & cheesy, great when dipped in the sauce totally hit the spot. The bar itself is pretty big with 2 levels each was as crowded as the next. The place was pretty busy but service was good considering how busy & crowded it was, prices are not bad. Good music playing, we enjoyed our time here the vibe was fun.

    Service was terrible and slow. they have a grade C which is telling. Risky... I wouldn't go back. Waited almost 30 minutes for a drink.

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.

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.

I found the hodgepodge of old-timey decor to be a bit kitsch, but to each their own. I came with a group on a weeknight with no reservation. We were seated immediately on a high wood table. Although the bar wasn't busy (there were plenty of empty spaces, small groups scattered throughout the area), the service was quite slow. The server was inattentive and took a while to take our orders. We had to ask her for water three times, searching for her across the room in an attempt to catch her attention. She was a bit absent during the two-ish hours we were there. On the bright side, the drinks were fairly good. I ordered this strawberry vodka cocktail topped with whole mint. I'm wary of vodka for its harsh, unpleasant taste, but I found this drink to actually be very pleasant, tasing like a fruit smoothie you'd get from a local juicer. There was also a burgundy drink served on a wine glass that tasted like the holidays. I liked that one quite a bit. Overall, Oscar Wilde was an okay experience. It's certainly a bar for a certain type of crowd, and the service was lacking, but maybe we went on a bad night. Maybe if you're lucky, you'll be served better than we were.

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.
