This place is dirty. We sat in the booths which are very uncomfortable. I saw Mouse droppings on the ledge next to booths on the brick. So gross! The food was gross too! Waitress was young and got order wrong. Had no good beers on tap. No wonder why this place was empty. We should have walked out. This place needs a deep Cleaning. read more

This place is amazing. It's been around forever. We came for lunch with our family. The staff is amazing. Food great and not expensive

This is one of my favorite places in RVC. It's a little quieter. Plenty of parking. Great food and drinks. The owner makes his own corned beef, and has some awesome dishes like corned beef tacos and corned beef egg rolls, which are insanely delicious. My personal favorite is the shepherd's pie. It is perfectly rounded off with a glass of Mark West Pinot Noir. read more

Always good food. Great service. Love the shepherds pie here. Support our local community.

Great neighborhood hidden gem. What a lovely place. Doesn't look like much from the outside. Inside a large bar room area and separate dining area. The dining area cozy with a fire place. Plenty of booths and tables. We ordered all typical pub food, and all selections delicious and as expected. Wings; burgers; Shepherd's pie; steak sandwich. Specialty cocktails. Price was good, not overly expense. Service was cordial and helpful. read more

Love it! Love it! Love it! Nice casual ambience and the MOST AMAZING DAD'S RUEBEN SANDWICH that I have ever had, or can imagine anyone else serving. The owner told me some of the secrets to making this gift from the gods of corned beef masterpieces. Oh and the fries are terrific too I also highly recommend the fish and chips. read more

For service... we have now been sitting here an hour with literally 3 tables (Friday night) and ZERO food has been presented, including appetizer... WTF But the singer is great! Update: an hour and 10 mins in now we got our appetizer! The baked pretzel and cheese dip. It's literally still cold in the middle.. and the Shepard pie that just came? Has melted American cheese on top??? Omg, a disaster of a meal. My poor kids.... read more

It appears the many are getting bored ordering takeout/pick-up repeatedly from the same restaurants. Lets not forget the local family owned restaurants, and there are many, that really need our support. Radigan's came through for us once again with a great dinner. Chicken Francaise was excellent. The Chicken Tidbit (also available steak) was excellent loaded with chicken, cheese, bacon, fried onions and bacon. Pretty damn tasty. Comes with a house salad or fries. Figured I'd lessen the cholesterol blow with a garden salad. Did it really matter? I think not. Patronize this place! They are so appreciative. Food is great. read more

Went there for lunch with my friend and we were pleasantly surprised. We had the Old Fashion Corned Beef sandwich with a side salad and wine. The corned beef was fresh, tender, and delicious. The service was friendly, welcoming, and not rushed. All in all it was a wonderful leisurely lunch at an excellent price. The pub has been there for many years under different owners and it still continues to please it's customers. read more

Now I honestly didn't know the Irish had good food until my Irish buddy took me here . From breakfast to dinner! Ohhh my. Sooooo good. They have the best corned beef in New York and the best Guinness in RVC Service is great sometimes and sometimes slow depending how many servers they have but they work hard to get to you Fabulous pub atmosphere. One time I went in they had live music read more

My wife and I had an excellent meal at Radigans Pub a few days ago and enjoyed a terrific dinner. We went at around 5:00 PM, mid-week, so the place was nearly empty. The service was great.The waitress was watching the bar and the tables. We both had salads and a beer. I had the famous Shepherd's Pie (Tasty, see: photo) and bread pudding dessert. My wife had the deluxe hamburger and fries. The burger had a wee bit of onion mixed into the chopped meat. (?). We sat around and had some coffee after dinner. All-in-all a great experience. Since we live nearby, we are looking forward to another dinner there. read more

Go to Radigans for corned beef. This is the real stuff not cold cuts. The food was delicious. Eat at the bar while watching a game or in their dining room. The service was great, pretty fast and pleasant. One server was taking care of the bar and the dining room and she handled it all pleasantly and without coming off rushed. I'm so glad to have found this place. read more

! Found this place on yelp because We wanted to meet up at a half way spot between our homes , we wanted a casual place that was fairly priced , we found all of it here! First off our server was excellent, very patient and accommodating, her name was lisa! As We follow the rules of lent we all avoid meat on Friday for the following few weeks so we all decided on the fish and chips and we were all satisfied! We didn't have a lot to eat, but the bread basket was delicious with Irish soda bread rolls and one of us had the creamy lobster bisque . We were there to meet up , have some drinks and relax and this place was perfect! They also had some live music with was perfect We will be back !!! read more

Popped in for an unexpected Sunday brunch. Very family friendly, rightly priced menu with a nice selection - our food was hot and fresh and just what we ordered, and a bargain bottomless option. The staff were charming and we will absolutely visit again. read more

This is a local neighborhood pub..... making some really great pub food and drinks. The three choices of egg rolls are amazing.... buffalo chicken, corned beef, and cheese burger.... what a great idea, one taste better than the next. They specialize in corned beef, there's an entire lower section on the menu dedicated to this tender and flavorful meat. You can have it in sandwiches ( many types), in an egg roll, or a platter with cabbage and mashed potatoes. Service here is very efficient and friendly. They play a great soundtrack of 90's rock at a very considerate level so you can have a conversation with your dinner guests. Center of the dining room is a cozy gas burning stone fireplace that adds to the pub feel. My only complaint is the price they charge for a top shelve Long Island Ice Tea... $18.00, I have never paid that price anywhere in NYC and come to think about it anywhere in the world. Guys you need to reconsider that price point. By the way, their dessert special banana bread with banana foster's sauce and slice banana's and three scoops of vanilla ice cream was one of the best dessert's I've had anywhere. Very decent price points on the entire menu and you get a lot of great tasting food for the money. Definitely will be going back. read more

stopped in on a Thursday night. It was not packed and loud......and I loved that!!! Sat at the bar. Bartender, Joanne was friendly. Served us our beers and food and kept the songs playing!! Was torn between the corn beef sandwich and Shepard's pie. Went with corn beef. Stopped in again after Christmas and before New Years Eve. Again, not packed and loud. And I loved it again. I love being able to talk and hear what people say. Makes the evening much more pleasant than listening to loud music and screaming to one another. read more

I'm so glad this place is open and serving inside as well as outside. Food was delicious the wine was excellent. They have delivery and pickup. And you get 10% off if you check in with Yelp. read more

As a pub it's great. But don't miss the food. We were there for Saturday brunch. Too many great choices on the menu! Wonderful service from an enthusiastic bartender. read more

I like Radigan's a lot. I like the big three-sided bar, the streaming 90s playlist, the 7-days-a-week happy hour. I liked the friendly, conversational barmaid, the great assortment of taps and liquors, the low lighting, the dark wood and exposed brick. I like the sparkling clean restroom!And I loved the food. It's a genuine pub. A tavern. Enter a classic barroom, with enough TVs to make it interesting but not so many it makes you nauseous. Chat with cheery regulars, play some quick draw. Have a glass of damn good house wine for $3 from 4-7 PM. If you're feeling hungry, head for the separate dining room. I love that it's separate! The food is top notch. Three-way fajitas included shrimp (3 big ones), steak and chicken and a goodly supply of guacamole, salsa and sour cream. Meat was quality and nice and tender. I'm so coming back for this again. We've been twice and have also experienced the Pot Stickers (excellent app), corned beef sandwich, fries (really good: lightly crispy outside, so soft inside, great consistency and not at all greasy) and just tonight I had the French Dip sandwich which is made with hanger steak. Yum! Thin, tender, and cooked medium as requested. The au jus had soft sliced onion in it. Also had a house salad with mine instead of fries. Raspberry vinaigrette dressing was thick and tasty and it was a baby green salad, no iceberg in sight. Everything is made to order, tastes great and is reasonably priced. Leftovers are wrapped with a smile. And, when you're done eating you can belly back up to the bar. So here's a great bar/tavern for your drinking pleasure or just to hang out, along with a dining room serving some seriously good chow with warm and friendly service. Is it more fun to eat at a saloon than drink at a restaurant? You decide. Get in here. read more

Food was adequate. Cooked my steak sandwich well. Not Medium Rare as requested. Ordered salad got fries. That was amended. Ordered dessert & coffee. Was told they had no coffee. Really? I have been in and around the restaurant business for years, doubtful I'll return. Decorated nicely for fall. Waitress was friendly and apologetic. read more

Best corn beef sandwiches. Service & prices are reasonable. Great place to grab a bite and have nice evening.

We had a great night at Radigan's recently. The bar service was excellent and the drafts tasted great. My husband ordered a corned beef sandwich that he said he wanted to go back for again! I had a regular cheeseburger that was to die for. I keep thinking about how good it was! We will definitely go back because we can walk from our house! What a gem. read more

Our waitress was really friendly, especially since we had a toddler. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks. My husband is already asking to go back lol. We loved the live music. Will be back! read more

Great Drinks, Yummy food Amazing service Food came out fast and hot cooked perfect . They were pleasant checked if we needed Drinks but not on top of us. read more

I went here today for dinner with my family. First off, this is a bar. You have to go past the bar to get to the dining area. The dining area is adequate, tonight there was a leak because of the rain. We sat at a booth. The waitress, Cindy, was friendly. We ordered a half rack of baby back ribs, fish and chips and Shepherds pie. The ribs were dry, a big disappointment. Fish and chips were good. Shepherds pie tasted good as well. Overall it was good. Prices were a little high for a bar. Every Friday there is live entertainment but we could not hear the band because it was so loud at the bar. read more

Something must have happened with the owners or the chef at Radigan's since all these reviews were left. I went with a group of friends on St. Paddy's Day. The menu was Price Fix at $45.95 per person. They had four seatings and we were at the second seating and the first to be served no less. When the Irish Soda Bread and Rolls came out, the waiter said they had run out of butter. The Irish Soda Bread didn't even resemble Irish Soda Bread. The salad, appetizers and entree came out with not time to spare. The Appetizers were great! However the Caesar salad was served in what can best be explained a small take out container of rice from a Chinese restaurant, with dressing which seemed more creamy Italian than Caesar. There were several entrees to choose from. Several selected the corned beef and cabbage platter. The corned beef was good, the cabbage was sparse and the potatoes were mashed with gravy on them. Not boiled. The vegetable was broccoli, no carrots. The dessert was either two small scoops of ice cream or bread pudding with one scoop of ice cream. Both were small in size. They provided non alcoholic drinks for free. We were finished our meal within 45 minutes. Another member of our group ordered two corned beef sandwiches which came with french fries. The sandwiches had only about 2 or 3 slices of corned beef, no cabbage and no mustard. The only thing Irish about this place was the Guinness that was served at the bar. read more

Went here for St Patrick's Day. We had a 5:45 seating. Service was quick and friendly. Nice menu, lots of choices. I had my rum punch, delicious. We started off with Caesar Salad, our table shared Reuben Egg Rolls, AMAZING. I had the corned beef platter. Very good! My friend had Shepard's Pie. She loved it. My other friend had the corned beef sandwich which came with pickles, Cole Slaw and fries. His also came with corned beef tacos! They were big! He was very happy. We had dessert also. Everything was excellent. I live in Baldwin. Radigan's is a nice hidden gem. read more

So what do you want in a local bar/restaurant? A friendly staff, with a decent selection of food and beverage offerings, at a reasonable price and the feeling that they appreciate your business. And you might even meet the owner, who lives near his place and willing to have a friendly conversation about his place. This describes Radigan's. Its in local neighborhood, with a small parking lot in the rear - but there is some street parking. It tends to be an Irish pub, but its not only an Irish pub - so you can get more than Corned Beef from their menu. They have a happy hour, which is popular. They have 18-20 taps and a fully loaded bar. The Menu has sandwiches and salads, but also a full dinner menu. The staff is great. Friendly and willing to help and engage. There is a bar section and a restaurant section with a large fireplace. Its worthwhile dropping in and checking out this pub. read more

Had a chance to stop by Radigan's pub some weekends ago for a late dinner, after a show at nearby Molloy College. Radigan's is apparently known for its corned beef, and the reviews here were rather stellar, so . . . Tale of the tape: Eggplant Chips: very thin and delicately fried eggplant rounds, which practically fall apart when you breathe on them! What made these a little strange to me, however, was that they are drizzled with honey, which of course made them a little sweet. It seems to me a rather odd culinary choice for eggplant to be sweet . . . I would rather have had some sort of balsamic drizzle (or dip) accompaniment to these otherwise very good, light, airy and rather unique chips. Eggrolls The eggroll sampler comes with a total of three, with a choice of three different types. It's possible to order one of each: - Bacon Cheeseburger: an eggroll with chopped meat, cheese and bacon inside, as the name implies. However, I didn't really taste any bacon, and the meat wasn't seasoned properly, if at all. It comes surrounded by ketchup, which it needs to give it some flavor. - Buffalo Chicken: chopped chicken in buffalo sauce, in a pool of ranch sauce. Not a bad bite, but if you like spicy, this will not satisfy. - Corned Beef Reuben: easily the best of the three! Radigan's tender corned beef, with sauerkraut and Swiss cheese, perched on a smear of thousand island dressing. Lump Crabcakes While appearing to be fried up proper, the cakes themselves unfortunately had a slight mushy consistency. There was nothing substantial to bite into, but what is worse is that they had no real flavor. Additionally, they are accompanied by a sweet pickle horseradish tarter sauce, which had no kick to it whatsoever. A spicy remoulade would definitely have made the 'cakes a better bite... Caesar Salad Lettuce shredded up proper, and just the right amount of cheese. The croutons were a good soft crunch. There was a drizzle of dressing that was just the right amount, but what threw me was the taste of the dressing. It had a good vinegar aspect, but not the flavorful creaminess you'd expect in a good Caesar dressing. It may have been a light type dressing and/or a thick vinaigrette Caesar, which is not what I would choose for any salad, and which definitely affected my enjoyment. Dad's Reuben Sandwich - Corned Beef: very lean, tender and just the right temperature. I did think, however, that it could have been a bit more seasoned for what could be a GREAT corned beef, but what is nonetheless a Very Good corned beef. - Thousand island dressing: it simply did not have the tang you expect from this type of dressing. There wasn't too much of it on the sandwich, and I almost asked for some spicy brown mustard. - Sauerkraut: Not much on the sandwich, and it was somewhat on the bland side. - Toasted Rye: while the top of the sandwich was toasted up proper, the bottom slice was oddly soft. I wouldn't say it was soggy, but though it looked, it nonetheless didn't feel toasted. There must be some way for restaurants to keep the bottom bun or bread from getting sogged out by the heat, contents or the accompaniments of any given sandwich. There's nothing worse to the enjoyment of a sandwich than picking it up and the bottom bun/bread/toast is either to moist, wet, or downright drippingly soggy. - French Fries: the best! Light and crispy on the outside, light potato perfection on the inside. You will finish these before you know it, and WILL consider getting an additional side dish order. Slow down and enjoy them - they are some of the best fries I've ever had, oh yeah! Turkey Burger: had a chance to sample the Turkey Burger, and wish I hadn't. It has the consistency and taste of a kitchen sponge, avoid at all costs! I suspect it has a lot of filler material, and very little actual turkey. Service The server was pleasant and attentive for the most part, and the owner, who turned out to be his mom, was gracious. Conclusion The food at Radigan's was somewhat inconsistent, and in my humble opinion would benefit from some slight tweaks. That said, it is worth stopping by merely for the fries and the corned beef alone. Final note If they're having a private party in the dining room area, it could be dicey to enjoy a late dinner here, as it was when I was there. The music coming from the other room is quite loud - as such, takeout may be the most viable option . . . read more

Came here for brunch on Sunday with my family - 3 kids under 5. It was awesome - best egg sandwich, great pancakes, burger etc. so excited to have found this for our new weekend breakfast spot! read more

Short Version: SKIP IT Now for the details. Went there with two friends and all three of us sat throughout the meal just shaking our heads at how consistently we were disappointed: Service, Food, Value and Decor are all sub-par. It was medium-crowded at 7pm on a Thursday night, I suspect from all the "new restaurant" advertising they've been doing lately. Hey - it got us to come in! We were so excited to try out the new place but will never go back. Service: AWFUL. There were two very young men who were the servers. They couldn't keep track on who was seated first, gave water to some tables and completely ignored others (including ours, although we asked), we didn't get menus when we sat down and our waiter never showed up for a while so we had to go get our own menus. Any request for salad dressing or drinks was met with a looooooong delay. And there were so many times when there was not ONE restaurant worker to be seen in the dining area (no bus boy, no waiter, no hostess, nada!) for quite a while. Were they all out back for a smoke?? Also, no knowledge of the menu or drinks, and he kept forgetting what wine we ordered. Food: MEH. Caesar salad ($9) was "okay". The grilled bread was just that, bread grilled -so, no crunchy croutons here. The salad was a decent size and shared by 2 of us, however there was pretty much no dressing on it. Just a few drizzles on the top. That's NOT how caesar salad should be served. And the grated parm was all on the bottom of the plate (?). House salad (incl with entree) was a decent size but came with the wrong dressing. When we requested the correct dressing, along with extra caesar dressing, it took a loooooooong time to get it which meant we sat there for a while with salads in front of us we could not eat. [NOTE: when ordering, we asked What are the dressings? The waiter said "they're on the back of the menu" so we flipped it over and he made us read Each & Every entree salad description which contained within it the dressing used for that particular salad. Dude - learn the dressings, there are like only 5!!] Egg Rolls ($9) were tasty but tiny. I chose the buffalo chicken and bacon cheeseburger options (there's a third that's veggie-only). The 2 eggrolls were cut in 2, resulting in 4 small pieces on a plate smeared with ketchup. That's fine for the cheeseburger one, but the buffalo chicken needed a side of ranch, which we requested and got at no extra charge. Downside: not a crispy shell on the outside. I think these sat under a heat lamp for a while and got oily-soggy. Corned Beef Tacos ($7.50) were big and tasted good, however they'd be better in a soft tortilla as the crunchy one fell apart at first bite. And the corned beef should definitely be shredded or sliced!! Here is was cubed, which meant it was tougher to chew. Blackened Steak Panini ($13.50, includes salad) was just okay. The steak was simply grilled - not blackened. And there was no chipotle sour cream as noted on the menu, we had to request it (and then wait a while to get it!). Note: we ordered this without the bread, so it was just chicken and veggies on the plate, which was fine and expected. Decor: OLD! My two friends have been to this place in years prior as RVC natives and were so excited to see what the new place had become. They started laughing immediately when they walked in, exclaiming "it's EXACTLY the same!!" Think of the decor style as "1970's Brown". I mean, come on - at least update those awful antique chairs at the tables! BOTTON LINE: Avoid! New owners simply slapped together a new menu and changed the name. Service is young, inexperienced and sloooooooow. Decor is yuck. Food is Meh. read more

So .... Irish pub (yawn!) and on St Patty's day (help me) .... but not what I expected. The atmosphere was energetic without being overwhelming and the service was spot on (amazing really given the amount of people rolling through). Corn beef and cabbage (my least favorite meal ever) was delicious-- corn beef was moist but not fatty with actual flavor and the cabbage still had texture (I may be a convert now). Definitely definitely worth trying again .... and again ... and again!! Sláinte read more
