Irish as it gets. I walked in for a late bite to eat. Ordered the Shepherd's Pie. It was delicious. Nicole my server, Nicole, was fresh back from the Old Sod and we swapped stories. She made me feel like one of the family. What a wonderful place. Friendly staff, great food and a wonderfully relaxed and communal gathering place. read more

This is your standard Irish pub in New York City. They have a very long bar when you walk in. Couple of high boys and tables and then down about eight steps they have a small seating area. Lots of Irish memorabilia and televisions throughout. The señorita drink I had was labeled as spicy, but was more sweet. I had the cod tacos and they were OK. The french fries are tasty and appear to be hand cut and made fresh. My friend had a burger and said it was amazing. read more

How do you choose a favorite amongst the endless Irish Pubs in NYC? Support your neighborhood! Niall's (named for the owner, Niall), has great lunch specials, friendly Irish and non-Irish bartenders, and live entertainment in the evenings. The lunch crowd is more mature while the evening crowd tends to be young professionals. Either way, you'll feel right at home. read more

The staff was fantastic, greeting locals and newcomers with the same enthusiasm and service. The vibe is that of a true Irish pub, down to the sunken seating room in the back. The food was great! The fish & chips and Combo Platter were excellent. If I only get to go to one Irish pub when I visit New York, it'll be Niall's! read more

We came here by chance and really liked it. We had a rest next door and kept on seeing all the awesome food coming from the kitchen. Our bartender Rick was very friendly. We should have eaten here instead of the awful place next door. The restaurant section is charming and we will definitely be back and recommend this place to our friends. read more

It was a lively night at Niall's, during the Knicks Celtics game. Everybody was in good spirits and this place had a really nice vibe. My server was very helpful and attentive. I had the tomato soup which was good and then the fried chicken sandwich which was a lot of chicken and french fries! Good food, good service. Good ambiance read more

Very solid Irish pub with friendly staff, tucked away on a quiet street in midtown Manhattan that is rarity nowadays. I ordered the turkey burger which came prepared with a good, toasted brioche bun and toppings. There is a diverse beer menu and when seated in the dining room area, you almost feel like you're located in someone's living room. This establishment has apparently been around for decades, and continues to uphold high-quality food, service, and other accommodation. The food feels like standing up food at the end of the day, but is prepared with more attention compared to your standard bar. read more

Went here just for a small bit of food - the Grilled Chicken Quesadilla. Sadly - it was terrible. The people & the bar was calmly quiet which I liked and the vibe was slow-paced which is what I wanted, but the chicken just tasted completely bland, and the cheese wasn't melted. The sour cream helped, but not that much. It was pretty big though and lasted multiple days. read more

My coworker and I was looking for a place to have Margaritas and Nachos afterwork for Cinco de Mayo. Niall's had a beautiful sign outside that caught my eye $10 Margaritas. We ventured inside the pub to check out the Margaritas and Nachos. The Margaritas were pretty good so after a few we stepped it up to the Casamigos Tequila. The nachos were good - a little heavy on the cheese but still pretty decent. Since we was having a good time we had to throw some spicy wings in. I was amazed how plentiful the order was. The wings taste really good and was spicy just like we like it. The bartender was awesome, very personable and was making really good drinks. The customers were nice and everyone was talking and the older customers were telling funny jokes. It was a good experience. Also if you use a credit card there is a 3% processing fee which is not bad considering you are in midtown. read more

same a Rosie Dunn - nice atmosphere & the food was very good. I think the lunch special is better priced at Rosie Dunn. Very good French onion soup. read more

Serviceable, but below average fish & chips. Limited beer selection, service was meh. To be fair, we did go in late & bar was filled with football fans. We sat in the back away from the bar so we could converse & our server was pleasant but not that interested & sat at the bar with her back to us most of the time we were there. I asked for malt vinegar to go with my fish & our server was totally confused, but offered to get me some regular white vinegar. The fries were definitely the best thing, hot & crispy. The experience was average. read more

We came here for a drink and desserts before heading home. The bar has a dark vibe but it wasn't very loud. They had the game on several TVs but there was no sound. In the back, they had tables with a cozy vintage vibe. They had books on the walls which I liked. Since it wasn't busy and there was one person on staff, we sat at the bar. When I sat down noticed a small mouse running around by the tables. I was put off food wise by that. My friend mentioned it to the waitress and she didn't really care so I guess she knew there was an issue already. I think she might have called someone to get it looked at. My friend ordered a drink and a slice of cheesecake. As I can't refuse sweets, I did have a small bite. It was pretty standard. It wasn't overly sweet and had a creamy taste. Bring cash as they do charge a 3% credit card fee. read more

When an Irish pub runs out of Guinness at 10pm, well, that says all you know. Nothing especially Irish about the place besides an Irish bartender...just your average loud bar. Not good, not bad. read more

Best blue cheese burger and fries I have had in a long time. Initially, I thought they would just be another Irish bar full of noise and booze. We were lucky last week, and it was that busy, so we headed back for some dinner. I ordered a blue cheese burger that came with fries which I gave to my partner, and then discovered how good they tasted. My partner ordered fried calamari which I was not too interested in. We had a wonderful waitress who was very patient with us and gave us some good tips. Will we be back? Yes read more

If I could give 0 stars I would, a 3 star rating minus 1 star for each time my friend and I found a bug in our drinks. Yes, 3 separate times we found a bug in our drink after returning one after the other. We ordered the Glenlivet after they did not have Macallan. No problem, until we found a bug in 3 separate drinks. This is a big sanitary red flag and was beyond gross especially after we were kind and understanding after the first couple mistakes. I don't know what they were pouring us. The manager wasn't there for any explanation. Disappointing experience and won't be returning. read more

Decent local bar. Good Food. Good Drink very local atmosphere!

We have been to this area of New York twice in the past 6 years and have been here several times! It never disappoints! Always great Irish food and service! There's TV'S on for the sports enthusiasts and they usually don't seem to mind if you request your favorite! The atmosphere is very relaxed and kicked back! I highly recommend you stopping in! read more

We tried this place based on its location. This pub was only two blocks from the Air BNB were rented. Trust me- this was a great discovery. When we first got to the tavern it was pretty loud. The crowd dissipated and the volume level ebbed. It appears to be a popular local watering hole that serves solid Irish food and bar food. When we entered we were instructed to proceed to the back of the tavern to be seated. We had six in our party so the hostess had to clean and push together two tables. We were promptly seated and waters were delivered. We ordered our food and a few cocktails. The cocktails arrived at our table quickly. They were all perfect. The food came out shortly after. The food was also perfect. Two of us ordered the Bangers and Mash. It was really good and the gravy on it did not disappoint. The fish and chips were spot on! The chicken club sandwich and Philly cheese steak sandwich were good. My daughter ordered a grilled chicken caesar wrap that she enjoyed. We all enjoyed our meal. The service was good. Our server wasn't overwhelmed with a huge section and was able to give us adequate attention. She was nice and competent. We enjoyed having her serve us. If you are in the neighborhood and contemplating stopping in...do it! read more

Enjoyed our time here, dive bar with sports on TV's, good food and service. Sat down in the back room, was a little stuffy but they turned the AC on. In addition to the sandwiches, had some good wings BBQ and classic Buffalo, as well as some "bomb" Mac n cheese. Not much else to say really, all pretty solid and enjoyable experience. Great for a late night bite, when you want to stay low key. read more

Interesting pub, their cocktail and beer selection looked fine. We stopped in for convenience for lunch one day while in town visiting. The menu isn't very big and they don't appear to be accommodating to various food allergies. On the way in I noticed that Chicken Fajitas was one of the specials, so opted to do that. I asked that they add cheese and they did (which was appreciated). My dining companion got a burger, which he said was 'meh. The bartender was our waitress and they weren't very busy. She didn't seem all that excited to see us, let alone actually wait on us. I realize we probably sat a little ways from the bar and that was a total turn off for her, but the section was open so we took advantage of being away from the bar. Again, we went for convenience so really didn't expect a lot. I'd suggest we got what we expected. Had we been there to drink, I'd almost bet we would have enjoyed our time more. Thanks for reading my review. read more

Big cities have the most awesome neighborhood bars, and NYC is no exception. Niall's is on 52nd St b/t 2nd & 3rd Ave in Midtown Manhattan. We dropped by here on a Wed & Thu night, and not suprisingly, the crowd became better as the week progressed. On Wed, there weren't very many peeps, I don't recall any music, and the waitress was kinda lame. However on Thu, the place was lit. There were peeps in the aisles, some current hip hop was playing, and there were plenty of ladies having a good time. I ordered a Jameson neat, and a Guinness. The drinks were reasonably priced, and the bartender poured w/ a heavy hand. The bartender on Thu was Derya who hails fr Queens. She was super nice, bought me some shots, and she is a cutie pie. Too bad she didn't get off until 5 am. If I lived in the area, Niall's would definitely be on my rotation. My only regret is my b'ness trip was too short, bc I definitely wanted to meet up w/ Derya again ;) read more

Hands Down, the best Irish Tavern in midtown NYC. Bartenders and staff are friendly and knowledgeable. A MUST GO TO in Manhattan!! read more

We stumbled in Niall's one afternoon and it was just what we were looking for! The atmosphere is a classic NYC Irish pub but the front wall opens so you have air and feel like you're not trapped inside. We sat at the bar but there were picnic bench seats along the window that would be nice for a group. We only stayed for a few drinks and apps but I must say the Nachos Grande and Sweet Potato fries were delicious! The staff was friendly and the people in the bar seemed like regulars- definitely a homey feel. If you're in the area I would recommend stopping in for some food and drinks- it's a great little NYC bar with decent pricing! read more

Stopped in for a burger and beer today on a rainy Sunday. We live in the neighborhood, and have lived in this general location for 10 years. I've eaten at Niall's before - in the past, decent pub, nothing super special. Today however I want to point out something that would make for good online viral fodder - I ordered a burger, asked for mayo and mustard - and was CHARGED FOR MAYO!!! Yes, 50 cents isn't much...but really?? I didn't eat my onion or pickle - do I get a discount for that? Niall - suggestion for you - if the condiment requests for a burger is so unusual, and your costs are killing you - just add 50 cents to your burger. To see a 50 cent charge for mayo on a burger just ticks me off (and I think it would others as well). The waitress did remove the charge after I complained - but damage done at that point. Not sure I'll be back - I've been to every pub/bar in a 5 block radius - always get a burger with mayo and mustard - never been charged for mayo...so congrats Niall - this is a first! read more

Update: Asked the bartender which was better: the nachos or quesadilla...I should've known when he said quesadilla that it'd be a mistake. Honestly, it was the worst quesadilla I've ever had in my life, lol, and I ate it purely because I was hungry and tipsy. Never again. My Stella draft was also flat...A one star experience rounded up to two for the otherwise chill vibe of the place. I should've just gotten fries, which were good last time. read more

Solid pub, and their lunch special was great too, especially for midtown: a soup or salad, sandwich, and sweet potato or regular fries for twelve bucks. The service was quick and friendly, and the prices can't be beat for midtown. I'll definitely be back for the lunch special again. read more

We went there on a Monday evening... Not crowded but a few folks at the bar and a couple of tables. We were seated and the server brought the menus. And then we waited... And waited... And waited. Finally I got up and found her and told her we were ready to order whenever she was available. She looks surprised she did not remember we were there. We ordered... My wife got the chicken pot pie which was excellent. I asked our server about a burger or a "pub classic" (as they note it on their menu) of fish and chips. I went with the classic dish... They were terrible. Not just terrible like cold... They were literally inedible with a rubbery thick coating of batter around the fish. If I had to guess it appears they were fried at some point in the past and then thrown in the microwave to bring to me. Our server never showed back up (literally, never showed back up) to refill drinks or see if we needed anything. Finally when she did come so we can get our bill she did not ask about the uneaten fish. We were trying to avoid eating in the Times Square area... Looks like we probably should have. read more

Pretty basic Irish pub in midtown to grab a pint during happy hour. Kind of a narrow bar area to sit at and have people constantly walk by and bump into you. Some flat screens with the game or ESPN on. Dark woodsy look, dim lighting, looks like it took a page out of the "build a generic Irish pub in NYC' handbook. The standard Irish pub beer on tap in this kind of spot - Guinness, Harp, Blue Moon, Goose Island, Killians,etc. They serve food too which seems to get decent reviews from others here. Maybe next time as I just had a nice cold pint on my visit. Lots of collared preppy bro's talking about dumb stuff before they head back to their bridge and tunnel lives in the burbs. For a midtown bar in a lame part of the city it's not too bad. read more

Niall's is like coming home, if home was ever a wonderful, welcoming, warm Irish pub. The bartender, who may or may not be the owner Niall's (he's a lovely Irish guy who always has a smile on his face), is fabulous. I felt like hugging him after a horrible experience at Turtle Bay around the corner. Right now the place is decorated so nicely for the holidays, it really is a warm, lovely pub. They have a great selection of beer that are well priced during happy hour. We wanted to get some food, and thought it easiest to order at the bar. Niall (i'm going to assume it was him) came over and asked if he wanted to sit down at a table instead. We thought that would be nice and he refused to let us carry our own beers over and carried it over himself and set us up in a lovely booth. The waitress was great, and suggested I get the chicken pot pie. It was the best chicken pot pie I ever had. Seriously. It was gigantic and fresh out of the oven. It was so good, I'm going to have to back regularly to indulge in this quality comfort food. My friends ordered the chicken quesadilla, which was apparently delicious (i can't eat cheese, so I couldn't try it myself) and the mini burgers were so cute. They came on tasty toasted potato buns. Overall, this place is great. Great staff, booze and food in a nice environment. There was also a nice mix of old and young in here, many working professionals but also out of towners looking for a nice place to eat and relax before retiring to their hotels. Definitely give this place a try - they also look like they have a nice lunch. read more

Delicious! Freezing cold day today and I tried Niall's for a burger and fries. Very, very good with Swiss cheese - and a house salad to start - definitely need to add onions to the house salad. Waiter was very kind. Thank you, I will be back for another great tasting burger! read more

Not bad but the service was very slow when we came in. We stopped in for lunch and our waiter was a very friendly Irishman(he was literally off the plane from Ireland). Unfortunately it must have been close to the end of his shift because once we got our drinks and ordered our meals, we didn't see him again lol Another waitress delivered our food and it was tasty but nothing to write home about. To be fair we did just order the basic burgers and pub fare. I feel that this place is more of a PM drinking establishment than a restaurant. I'd definitely stop back for a drink at the bar but there are way too many good restaurants in NYC to get food here again read more
