Been going here for great pub grub for 20 years. The bartenders and waitresses are attentive and the food, especially the burger and fries, are outstanding. Food and drink are a good value. Usually go for lunch or late afternoon before or after a visit to Central Park or 57th Street Venue. As expected, the atmosphere is typical pub in mid-town. read more

Friendly local spot! Food and service was way better than we were expecting. A small and unassuming place, but really good compared to some other NYC pubs we tried! Recommend the wings and gaelic chicken dishes. read more

Excellent service at the bar and very reasonably priced lunch specials. Would not hesitate to recommend P.J Carney's t relatives or friends. read more

I been coming to this pub for a good while and it was due for a review. I have to say that after my 3 rd visit this year, i can attest tk consistent food quality for Burgers, sandwiches and great onion soup. The bartenders know we work nearby and we bring friends over, the lady bartenders are pretty friendly, food service is quick once you order and they make a very good aperol spritzer! read more

Solid late night food, big wine pours, and plenty of good banter. If you're looking for the neighborhood hang out, this is your zone. We visit every year after the marathon with friends and couldn't ask for better service or good vibes. read more

Nice Irish pub just across from Carnegie Hall. The Guinness was excellent as was the shepherds pie. A very nice quaint little space with a large circular bar in the middle and some smaller tables around the perimeter. Nice dark wood feel that added to its charm and warmth. Very friendly staff. read more

I visited this restaurant with a friend after he raved about how amazing the chicken wings are. The bar is cute, its big and takes up the majority of the restaurant. The waitress was really nice, and we ordered french onion soup, and chicken wings with sauce on the side (recommended) We started with the french onion soup, and it was really good! It was priced well and it was as good as any other french restaurant i've ordered from in the city except it didn't cost $18+ dollars and this bar isn't french lol. The price was amazing also - I actually think it was only around $8 which was the perfect price! It wasn't too salty, and had a really good flavor. There were 3 of us that ordered the same soup, and we all thought it was really really good. I didn't know what to expect from the chicken wings. I thought they would be the regular wings I'm used to which are fried with no breading, but these were very heavily breaded. Def order the sauce on the side because the naked wings are crispy and have a lot of flavor on their own. The ranch dipping was really good as well. We over ordered, and they are very filling wings, so just be aware of that when placing the order. I really liked this bar and I will be returning soon! read more

Bartender dark hair with glasses, I go in , place has 3 people at most , I'm standing politely trying to get her attention I ask her for a shot of Jameson and ask where the rest room is as I proceed to take money out of my wallet to pay her , she doesn't answer me and proceeds to over pour the Jameson ( I know this because I as well tend bar ) again where is the restroom one of the patrons lifts his head slap and points and I tell her that's enough Jameson I just needed a shot .she proceeds to tell me a big shot for a big girl. Well ok stick figure sorry your genetics are not as accommodating as mines I laugh and walk away as I go I thank the guy who pointed to the bathroom as HE APOLOGIZED FOR THE RUDE COMMENT . Not an apology or an even thank you for the tip ( which I only left due to the new bartender.. IT SEEMS CONSTIPATION OF THE BRAIN AND DIARRHEA OF THE MOUTH RUN RAMPANT.. read more

As pubs come, this was pretty standard and good. It was exactly what I expected. The food was good -- I enjoyed my nachos very much. The server was super kind and attentive even though she was covering every table. The vibe was solid pun feel. If I'm in the area and want pub food, I'd go back. read more

Classic old school style Irish bar right in the middle of Manhattan. Quite small inside so you might feel cramped if your attempting to roll in with more then 1 person. The wooden bar is right in the middle and wraps around, there's a few seats with tables off to the side if your looking for a bit more privacy also. The menu offers more then the standard bar and pub options if your looking for a lunch or dinner spot. The bartender was sweet and friendly, and fast. Guinness poured perfectly so I would come by and check them out again. Conveniently just steps away from Central Park too. read more

Another visit is already decided. We simply couldn't eat everything that looked delicious. I find comfort and joy at this spot. The staff exhibited true niceness, welcoming smiles, and sincere friendliness. I plan to revisit this spot. read more

We went there to eat after Carnegie performance-Bad service waitress moved us twice from table to table then saw a mouse crossing the tables and management tried to cover up the waitress when we tried to report her over phone who followed us to train entrance to harass us for the bad review we gave her simply bad service read more

very bad service twice we were asked to be moved to different tables the waitress even followed us to train station to say we could be nice when she was not nice After when we tried to call to speak to a manager we were refused to speak to one , never gave us the manager lied to us one was not available and refused to pick up the phone ,simply very bad service , no courtesy no customer PR!! read more

This is my second time here so I clearly enjoy it. The place is very small with most of the space taken by the bar. Sat at a high top and the initial service was a little slow but not too bad. Once we ordered everything was fine. Had a few beers, sliders with fries and 12 wings, crispy. The sliders were great, nice and meaty. The wings looked like they were dipped in batter or something with a few sauces on the side. The "batter" was a little thick but didn't stop me from finishing them all (2 of us). read more

Great experience! The drinks had a generous pour, and the service was fast and friendly. We did not try the food.

We swung in to grab some food and a couple drinks and had a great time! The staff was super kind and personable with all of us. We enjoyed sitting at the bar in this hole in the wall pub. The food and drinks came super fast and the food was decent. The Shepard pie was fantastic and the brown sauce to put on it made the dish. Overall, I'd recommend it! read more

Brought my sister and teen kids and my mom for lunch after seeing the long lines at Carnegie Deli over the holidays. They seated us pretty quickly and we each had pretty delicious, juicy hamburgers. I would give the service 5 stars. The ladies who served us were super friendly despite the fact that they were so busy. We really enjoyed our lunch and appreciated the wonderful, quick service. Thank you! read more

I came here with a couple of friends after a show at Carnegie Hall. It has a bit of a neighborhood bar feel. Not quite a dive bar, but definitely no frills or fuss. Their cocktail menu didn't have any signature drinks, just the classics. I loved the boldness of listing the long island iced tea as the first item on the menu. I had a glass of the house wine. They were very heavy with the pour which was much appreciated. My friend got the house sparkling wine and it was also a generous pour. I didn't eat but my friends had the sliders and chipotle ranch chicken sandwich and enjoyed them. Our waitress was not super attentive, but service was fast. Nothing really special here but nothing to fault either. It's conveniently located near the NQR so it's a decent option if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Crotchety bartenders that obviously don't like what they do. Wanted to like this place because of the proximity to my work, but nope, unwelcome from the minute I sat down. Probably for the best, since I'd dump too much money in here after work anyway. Next!! read more

I left my hat at the restaurant yesterday, called them immediately after I realized to tell them I'd be there when they open the following day. The woman working said to come whenever and that It would be there for me. I take 2 hours of my time traveling to and from P.J.'s all for the hat to no longer be there. now I wasted my time & money on transport and am down my favorite hat. Would've understood my hat not being there if I didn't call them immediately after letting them know I'd be back to pick it up. can't believe that my item managed to get stole. hope that management sees this absurdity and makes up for my lost time and stolen item. Blown away by the lack of respect for customers items. they do have a good Guinness pour though. read more

I've been to Carney's a few times. One of my friends loves to go there after work for drinks so I'm always meeting him there. It's kind of a small place. Still comfortable and the food is pretty good. I love the wings there. My favorite thing about the wings is that although they I get bbq they are still crispy. Some places the wings become soggy after adding a sauce. The service has always been good but it can get pretty busy at times. read more

My haunt definitely. John and Michelle are the best bartenders, always unbelievably fast and attentive, we love them!

The price of drinks at this small pub are crazy. Draft beers are 10 plus, house wine 14 and not drinkable, and get this - $25 martinis!!! This is not Ritz Carlton or a swanky lounge - it's a blue-collar neighborhood bar. The food is Irish pub grub so don't expect much. Way overpriced and better options close by. read more

Bartenders sucked. Super unwelcoming and talking shit about me and my friends while we were sitting at the bar.

Stopped by here after running some errands and ordered the Caesar salad and their chicken nuggets! I was pleasantly surprised at the chicken nuggets as they were homemade, real pieces of chicken, perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside! The nuggets also came with a homemade honey mustard which was extremely tasty. I also ordered a red sangria, which was equally delicious and had just the right amount of strength! Definitely check this place out! read more

OVERALL: -Cool, old-school sports bar vibe with vintage furniture and decor -Probably great if you're grabbing a drink or hanging out to watch a game -Don't bother with the food unless you're desperate. -Service is probably faster if you order at the bar. ARRIVAL: Came here in November for dinner because I heard it was a long-running institution with good burgers. My partner and I were looking for somewhere inexpensive to get dinner in the area on a weekday evening before seeing a movie. The atmosphere lived up, but the food and service were disappointing. There were not many people there and most of them were seated at or around the bar. We were one of maybe 3 groups that were sitting at tables. FOOD/DRINK: I ordered one of the specialty burgers on the menu. I ordered the burger medium and it was significantly overcooked: burnt on the outside and mostly grey on the inside. I am not picky about the quality of ingredients from a place like this, but the beef tasting low quality on top of the poor preparation made it unjustifiable. The grilled peppers/onions tasted bitter and dirty (I'm not sure if this is something you can taste, but almost like the grill they were cooked on was dirty) and had char marks, but were still raw in the middle. The fries were fine, but forgettable. Essentially, there were too many bad things about the food for me to chalk it up to a bad day. We only had water so we did not try any drinks. The portions were definitely reasonable at least. SERVICE: I think we would have had a better time if we had gone back and forth between our table and the bar to order food/drinks. However, we were sat at a table by a woman who came back right away to take our orders so we went along with the table service. She was very friendly and polite. The food came out quickly enough, but we didn't see our server for a while after she dropped off our food (to get ketchup and refills on water). The same thing happened when we were looking to get the check and leave. There were not many other people there and most were seated at the bar. So I'm not sure if she was busy or if it was because we were seated in a booth that was slightly tucked away behind the door to the kitchen. ATMOSPHERE/AMBIENCE: The authentic, old-school aesthetic of the place is probably the best reason to stop by, based on my experience. There was a beautiful, wooden bar in that created a rounded square in the center of the room so people could sit at 360 degrees all the way around it. There were televisions all over the room each playing different games or sports channels. The majority of the furniture was made from that dark, heavily-laquered wood that seemed to be built into the floor and walls of the establishment. There were stained glass dividers that separated some of the booths and tables. It feels and looks like the kind of local sports bar from a tv show (like Cheers) that is only sustained by locals and regulars for its simplicity and down to earth charm. SUGGESTIONS FOR BUSINESS: -Nothing specific other than to look closer into how food is prepared. I would have loved to come back for a drink or to watch a game if our food was not so bad. read more

Intimate space but the food was great and the service was amazing. With the crowd present the night we were there, I was expecting delays but the server didn't miss a beat! read more

Good pre-performance eats and drinks! Good bar!!! Great location for Carnegie Hall!!!

This is exactly the kind of place I love. Great, quick service, potent and delicious drinks, and comforting filling food. My husband loved his shepherds pie and my BLTA was exactly what I wanted. read more

Awesome little place. We stopped in for a drink and were lucky enough to get seats at the bar.

A trip to NYC is not complete without a drink in a historic Irish pub. Being fair skinned and red haired (back in the day) I fit right in. It was a slow Sunday afternoon and the bartender was super nice and welcoming. read more

This was my first visit. I ordered the Turkey Club and my friend had the steak sandwich. We enjoyed the meal while sitting at the bar. The pub is small and seating is close but not uncomfortable.

It's not often that I go out of my way to write a review. But eating at this restaurant was a very unfortunate ending to an otherwise lovely day in Central Park. The service was poor, the beer was off and the food was atrocious. It was so bad, that I ended being sick later that evening (and I have an iron stomach). I would not pay to eat/drink here again. read more

Get the Gaelic burger. Great beer. Friendly service. Good spot to get away from Times Square for lunch.

I used to visit PJ Carneys regularly with a good buddy of mine before we both moved from Manhattan to the outer boroughs. Excellent bar food and drinks! Wonderful vibe and good people! Hope to be back again SOON!!! read more
