    6 big screen tvs outside!
    Whitney D.

    This is your local upper east side sports bar. On the small side inside and they have a great outdoor seating hut with large screen tvs that are usually playing sporting events when on. Whenever I have been here we have always had such wonderful bartenders help us and make our drinks. I don't come here often but have been a few times especially during the rough time that NYC went through a few years ago.

    Came here with some friends on a Saturday night, and it's a super cute spot! There's a pool table, darts, and plenty of room to hang out. The bartenders are all from Ireland, which makes this Irish bar the real deal. I wasn't in the mood for alcohol, so I got a cranberry soda with lime, and the bartender brought the drinks to my friends and I quickly. It's a simple combination but delicious! Also, my friend recommended to me the cheesy onion potato chips, which I had to try. They were really good and cheap if you're looking for a bar snack. They only sell chips for food, though, but you can bring in outside food if needed. I'm happy I went here and will definitely be back again!

    I love me a good Irish bar! They have an extensive outdoor seating set up that can even accommodate a large group. There are TVs set up outside too. They've made great use of the outdoor space. So if you're still a bit put off by indoor seating, this is the bar for you. It's busy but never loud and the staff is just the right amount of attentive. They also have the best chips I've ever had. Irish-made Tayto Cheese & Onion. Tay-to... Tay-to... you can't say it without an Irish accent. A Magner's, some Taytos, and good company... you can't beat an Irish bar.

    Very solid pub. Beers were 8 dollars cash only. Not too crowded inside but a healthy amount. Good music and bartenders were nice.

    Sean's easily accommodated our group of six. We started with pretzels and spinach artichoke dip…read morewith chips. The dip was hot and cheesy. Chips were replenished..eventually. The pretzels were more like warm soft breadsticks, served with a cheese dip and mustard on the side. Decor is an advertisement for Guinness but it IS an Irish pub in NYC. I had the Irish stew, a crock of hot beef and vegetables in a tasty gravy. Others in the group enjoyed burgers and salads. Next time I'll try the shepards pie. Server was pleasant and answered our questions.

    Walking around New York City on a drizzly Sunday, I walked into Sean's Bar & Kitchen to grab lunch…read more Typical looking New York, Irish pub, TVs, great vibe. Service from the bartender was great. I ordered the fish and chips and a Bloody Mary. Everything was great up till then. Unfortunately, the food was a disappointment. Maybe it was a deep fat fryer thing, but I respectfully suggest the cook be given a little additional training. The fish batter was hard on the outside, and the fish was completely mushy on the inside. Like, gray mush. The fries were lukewarm. The mushy peas and the tartar sauce were served in little covered plastic disposable containers. I'm not a fan of that, but I get it is convenient. I truly wanted to like this place, and except for my one experience with the food, I would certainly return. People were having fun, and I did as well. I believe if they become a little more attentive in the kitchen, this place is a five star pub.
