    It's my favorite bar spot in Bay Ridge. There's a history to it. Always for a good time. And there are attractive bartenders.

    Divey Irish bar, on par with what you'd expect. Problem is... They really water down their drinks :-/

    I walk by Paddy's almost every day, and I've come to see what it is -- and what it could be…read more Paddy's leans hard into the dive / old‑school pub aesthetic, which I'm fine with. The atmosphere is rugged, familiar, heavy with regulars who know each other. That can be comforting, but it also means new people feel a little on the outside looking in. Their beers are solid, the vibe is strong (sports, darts, classic pub banter), and it has the bones of a great local hangout. But there's a resistance to change or warmth toward newcomers, which makes it feel like a place "for the in crowd." If they worked on opening the door just a bit more for first‑timers (friendlier service, small gestures of welcome), Paddy's could be even better. As is, it's dependable and characterful -- just not always inclusive.

    Full disclosure here... as an Arsenal fan I was already going to be fully on board with this…read moreconvivial local neighborhood bar. Between the welcoming and gracious owners, Mark and Teresa, and the on the ball bartenders, you can see why the patrons enjoy coming back here again and again. The beer selection has diversified over the years but it's the Guinness that's truly the stand out and probably the best pint I've had poured in Brooklyn. They have a total of seven TVs which is more than some locations twice the size and ample seating at the bar and tables. They show Premier League and will open up early for every Arsenal game but they will also show other sports like rugby, college and pro football, hockey, etc. While there is no kitchen, you're more than welcome to bring in your own food and they often host local food vendors for big weekend games. With winter now in full effect, the hot cauldron of cider is now up and running, so what are you waiting for? Head down to Paddy's and find your new favorite local.

The venue is pretty spacious they have a back dining area, a big bar when you enter and a full bar upstairs. There's a ton of televisions if you are watching sports as well. They have a pretty deep beer menu which I loved. The food menu is Irish influenced bar bites. We had the wings which were nice and crispy. The center of attention was the waffle fries nachos. You can't go wrong with a potato vehicle to fresh toppings. All and all great fun spot for sports and gatherings. Also this is a melting pot. Various ages, groups, backgrounds, saw a few families. All are welcome. One flaw is St. Patty it appeared that our waiter who was superb was the only one working so it was a bit of chase to close out.

    Solid Irish pub....i have only been here at lunch (I don't go out at night much if I'm not blowing…read moretrumpet at a gig or rehearsal). In general, I like the mellow / peaceful vibes of outer borough NYC Irish pubs at lunchtime. McMahon's did not disappoint. Solid buffalo chicken wings & good burger. I am also post fries (I will try one or two of yours, but I don't need an order of fries for myself.), so can't comment on the fries. They also make a mean Caesar salad. The Caesar & buffalo wings are pretty much my metric for all Irish pubs. McMahon's would def be in the upper 50th percentile. There are a bunch of negative reviews for this spot on here for when they are very busy, on Barclays Center game nights and / or weekends. I feel like, if you read between the lines, it's people coming in groups when it's busy acting entitled. The staff at lunch has been nothing but courteous, w/ excellent service. Also, very clean inside, & food was good quality / fresh ingredients. There are almost no Irish pubs in this area open for lunch anymore at all - thank goodness this is a good one!

    This is as casual as it gets. Typical American bar/eatery for grabbing a quick bite and a drink. A…read moregiant bar spans a quarter of the entire indoor space. If you want water, there's a giant jug of it on the counter. Help yourself to some plastic cups. Super loud ambiance, due to bar TVs and people talking really loudly. In such open space, sound carries. Prepare to talk really loudly and strain to hear your conversation partners. The background music was nice--all the classy rock, pop, and modern hits bringing you nostalgia from the better days. A few outdoor tables available, if you'd like to people watch in good weather. Service is fast, staff are very efficient. We got $20 ribs special and $18 chicken sandwich panini. I was surprised that both were decent. Fries were not too salty nor greasy and not heavy at all (surprise). Ribs were tender and fell off the bone easily. They were served in sweet BBQ sauce. Instead of fries, I got salad--which was just a few lettuce leaves from a pre sold supermarket salad bag, so be warned. Chicken panini sandwich was the unanticipated standout of our meal--massive chicken breasts that were tender and well grilled were nestled between tasty toppings. Overall, this was very filling (can be shared by two) and satisfying. Very cheese and saucy, which I also appreciated, as I can't stand bland food.

    "A Rare Full English in the Wild"…read more You don't just find a Full English breakfast in Brooklyn anymore -- you hunt for it. You scroll endlessly through delivery apps, dive into brunch menus full of avocado toast and eggs benedict, and eventually resign yourself to pancakes pretending to be culture. But Black Horse Pub? It dares to serve one. And it nearly sticks the landing. ‍ Atmosphere Inside, it's shoulder-to-shoulder. Jerseys everywhere, football on the TVs, a kid playing games on a phone while someone in an Arsenal kit yells at the screen. Outside, I grabbed a rain-dampened table, and the waitress wiped it down for me without being asked. That may sound small, but in Brooklyn? That kind of service is practically extinct. Service Genuinely some of the best I've had in a long time. When I had trouble connecting to the Wi-Fi, she came over and typed in the password for me. Not handed me a slip of paper. Not pointed vaguely at the wall. Typed it in. When I assumed my second round of drinks (a shot of whiskey and a Magners) would take forever -- it was packed -- they showed up immediately. The whole vibe here is "we see you, and we got you." Wings Better than expected, and I already had high hopes. Perfectly cooked -- juicy, not overdone -- with a sauce that walks the tightrope between sweet and spicy without falling into sugary overkill. Balanced, addictive, and clearly not an afterthought. Full English This is what I came for -- and what most places in this city wouldn't even attempt. * Eggs: Fried just right -- golden edges, runny centers. * Mushrooms: Meaty, earthy, cooked with care. * Grilled tomato: Balances out the richness. No soggy mess here. * Ham: Lean, maybe a bit undersalted, but solid. * Beans, toast, and yolk all mingled together -- the kind of simple, hearty opulence that only English food can deliver when it gets out of its own way. * Black pudding: Absolutely excellent. Delicately rustic, no harshness, perfect texture. * Sausage: The only miss. Clearly not an authentic banger -- more like a basic breakfast link. And when you're this close to nailing it, that matters. In a city where it's nearly impossible to find a Full English done with this much effort and balance, that sausage doesn't ruin the meal -- but it does knock it down a notch. Would I come back? No question. Already planning to. If they swap in a proper sausage next time, it might just hit a perfect five.
