By that time Christine had already engaged me in discussion with other patrons. So much fun. My date got the Irish brunch, I had to get the famous Donovan's cheeseburger (with sweet potato fries) Yum! So good! Christine kept returning to us to see if we needed anything else. In my youth I bartendered and waitressed so I absolutely appreciated the kind attention. By the time the two piece singer and guitarist arrived I was loving the musical vibe!!!!

The valet parking just made it easier. We were in a large side room based on the amount of people we had (30+). The place is very rustic and comfortable.

Since I'd never been to Cousin Larry's and it had a chill, no frills vibe, we decided to give it a try. The place is definitely a sports bar as there were tvs all over. It seemed like a good spot if you're coming to watch a game and have some drinks. The food took a while for it to come out. We ordered the seafood tower which is more of an appetizer than an entree. My friend ordered the fish and chips and it wasn't what she expected. I got the mixed vegetables on the side and it really needed seasoning. Im glad I asked for the hot sauce earlier, but the salt and pepper which I also asked for never came. I also ordered the French onion soup which balanced out the bland vegetables. Last but not least got the dessert, decided on the banana split. Tbh, this ended up being the best food that we ate all night. Overall, it feels like this place might be more known for their drinks and as being a sports bar than for dinner.

Despite being right next to the 61st St stop, The Dugout is one of the lesser frequented Irish pubs…read morein Woodside. It reminds me a time in the neighborhood when Irish folks were the majority and when times were so much more simple. This pub is low key, rarely crowded, somewhat easy to miss, and extremely local. The place reminds me a ton of the Courtyard Ale House in Sunnyside, from the exterior to the darkly lit interior with an intimate bar setup. They too had an outdoor setup during the pandemic. The bartenders are friendly enough and the clientele is a lot of older folks that drink alone. There are some TVs, which are as small as the pub itself. The drink selection is pretty basic with some bottled beer and some limited taps. Whether it's a glass of Stella or a pint of Guinness, it's what most of the place is often drinking. There are some TVs playing sports and no food that I'm aware of. The plus side is that the drinks are going to be affordable and there is vibe is the least pretentious in the area. If one is looking for a simple ambiance with a little sports and a lot of local vibes, The Dugout completely fits the bill. Indulge in the personalities and have a pint while playing something from their jukebox. If one is lucky, it might just be on a night where there's a little live music.

During the day, Kieran is the man behind the bar, offering friendly conversation and expert knowledge about every drink on the menu. By night, Nile takes over, continuing the tradition of impeccable service while bringing his own energy to the space.

I've been to Donovan's, Sean Og's, and a smattering of other Irish pubs across town - and I've enjoyed them all. This place is the one that served me the single best-tasting Guinness I've enjoyed in NYC, anywhere. Came in for St. Paddy's and there were clearly a lot of regulars piled up at the bar and around me, but I didn't feel unwelcome for a second. Hyper-busy staff but good at what they do. Plenty of Soccer games on all the screens around to enjoy, if you come alone and want something to do while sipping your drink. Happy to come again, next time I have a hankering for a good Guinness.
