We were looking for an easy going place to grab food near Rockefeller. Sean's Bar & Kitchen came up as walkable option. But hesitated, going, based on the ratings. We took a chance and I'm so glad we did. Host & wait staff were super friendly and attentive. I got the Greek Goddess Salad - which was amazing. The greens & veggies were fresh, they didn't skimp on the shrimp and the salad was portioned nicely. My husband had what we called it a 3 napkin burger w/ fries. So good! So lesson learned don't always believe the ratings. Would recommend. read more

Walking around New York City on a drizzly Sunday, I walked into Sean's Bar & Kitchen to grab lunch. 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. read more

Sean's easily accommodated our group of six. We started with pretzels and spinach artichoke dip with 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. read more

Had dinner here with friends. The place has a fun retro vibe, and while the service was timely, it wasn't particularly attentive. The hostess who seated us seemed indifferent--she didn't offer much in the way of greeting or guidance. The food was okay, but nothing stood out. We ordered a mix of drinks--Bluemoon draft, Oktoberfest, and a cocktail--along with chicken sandwiches, a quinoa burger, and the Bird on Fire burger. My quinoa burger was falling apart and just average in terms of flavor. That said, the highlight of the evening was catching up with friends after years, and the relaxed atmosphere served that purpose well. Would I come back for the food? Probably not. But it worked for what we needed that night. read more

Got here early to grab food and drinks with friends before heading out to catch the Knicks season opener. Really cool environment with plenty of open space. Snagged a booth near the back and settled in. Good food, good vibes, exactly what you want from a sports bar before a game. Loaded with TVs, so you get your fill no matter where you're sitting. Nothing fancy, just does the job well. read more

Food worse than you get in a hospital. Shepherds pie is disgraceful - cold on inside on a hot bowl directly from the microwave read more

Ordered take out, it was ready on time, the host was friendly, and the shepherd's pie was dee-licious!

While walking around New York me and my wife were getting really hungry so we decided to stop here. And I am very happy that I did, everything from the theming to the food to the pricing was wonderful. Upon walking in we were greeted and sat very quickly and a little to top. I will say that sitting in here is very close so if you get claustrophobic this might not be the place for you. Our waitress was very attentive and came over multiple times asking us if we have ever been here and some really good food recommendations. I decided to get a Guinness and the chicken curry for my food and drink today. Let me just say that the Guinness was poured with the perfect amount of head and ice cold! The chicken curry was ridiculously flavorful and had such a nice blend of spices that I was trying so hard not to inhale all of my food because of how delicious it was. The rice also was cooked perfectly and all of the vegetables and ingredients were portioned out wonderfully. By the end of my meal I was so full that I wanted to pop. It was about $18 for my dish and about $6 or $7 for the beer, I can't remember unfortunately, but it was 100% worth the price. The waitress was very attentive and made sure that our Waters were also always filled. This place was insanely busy but the service was exceptional which made it a standout place that I hope to be back in the future when I'm in New york! read more

Great food, Great service, Great company! Our new go to in NYC! Special shout out to everyone behind the bar.

This is a most delicious Irish Cheesecake infused with Bailey's Irish Cream that has a flavorful thick and creamy texture that clings to the spoon, even upside down. You can taste the Bailey's in every bite and that fragrance is heavenly. And, Sean's Bar & Kitchen has all of the accoutrements to not only go hand in hand with this cheesecake but with any dish you choose. You won't find this delicious cheesecake in any restaurant in New York City, only in the fabulous Sean's Bar & Kitchen . read more

Great place to hang with friends etc with good eats & drinks! Came here with my sister & a friend after a fashion show, got seated immediately & our waiter Kai was the the best! read more

I ordered a double smash burger. They served it on a slider bun..... server was useless

Just a so-so choice. Food was okay but nothing special. Chicken Pot Pie didn't have a lot of flavor and filing was no better than Marie Calendars from the store. Fish and Chips wasn't horrible but nothing special where near what would be expected for an Irish Pub. Service was spotty and our server was new and his best recommendation after 3 weeks was the cheeseburger. I would pass next time. read more

Great for a family, kids menu and great food options. Service was slow and our server kept changing but overall we were happy. Lots of room, two floors. Carlsberg on tap! read more

This place is a fun spot to come after work. The drinks are good, the bartenders are excellent, and the TV's are perfect for watching sports. Josh took care of us tonight, and I had so much fun!!! I will be back. read more

Good vibes and down to earth servers made this a midtown Irish bar I'm saving on the map. Had beers and snacks only, all fine, large selection of sports bar-like beers and snacks and lots of televisions but you could sit further away from them if you wanted. Solid midtown pick for a sports bar. read more

My family & friend's came to this restaurant, it came highly recommended. It has a very friendly atmosphere & the staff are sooo nice. We ordered the Shepherd's pie which was spot on &'delicious. My wife ordered the French Onion Soup which was incredible. My friends daughters had shepherds pie & split a hamburger they said it was so incredible. My daughter had the chicken pot pie, the dish was so fresh crust soooo fresh & soooo good. Excellent service. My 1 year old granddaughter was playing with a toy & they offered batteries for it to light up. I thought they where so sweet to do that. The chef's they have in that kitchen prepare there food with respect & precision!!!! bravo . I grew up in NY on Long Island, where here for a mini vacation. This made my visit back home memorable. Sean's thank so much for taking good care of my family & friend's. I definitely would come back again. Continue doing what you're doing & I look forward to when we come back to the Greatest city in the US. read more

This was our last meal before leaving NYC, and it was a good one! We'd been in the area around Rockefeller Center to check out Christmas decorations, which was absolutely packed. We tried a couple of restaurants, but the waits were too long for us. We walked a few blocks & happened upon Sean's Bar & Kitchen. At first, my daughter laughingly refused to eat here because of a "not nice guy" from her past named Sean. But... we were hungry & needed to head to the airport in a few hours. So I convinced her to give Sean's a shot. We were glad we did! I had the Gaelic burger, which was delicious with its sautéed onions and cheese. My daughter selected the chicken pot pie, and it was delicious as well. Sean's is an authentic Irish pub & most of the employees were clearly Irish based on their accents. I'd highly recommend Sean's if you're in the Midtown area! read more

After wandering around the different markets, this was a cool place to sneak into where we were able to get fast service and great food. As tourist who have been taking pictures all day, iPhone batteries were quickly dwindling, and the staff was able to take them in charge for us which I thought was amazing. We got the spinach and artichoke dip, pizzas holiday cocktails, and some fries. This was our first time here at this restaurant the waiter definitely gave us great suggestions on drinks to get which was perfect. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is in the city and wants good food that is decently priced also being in the midst of all the action probably one of the best meals I had here. read more

Love this place would definitely go back when I visit New York again and very affordable too.

I recently made dinner reservations at Sean's for a large event dinner and I would do it again in a heartbeat. The team was fantastic in meeting my groups needs and communicated every step of the way. Reservations were easy and the space was perfect for our needs. Service was totally on point. The location is centrally located and was easy to reach for out of town guests. Food was really great. I personally had the chicken pot pie which was fresh and delicious. Our dinner included a prefix menu and there were no complaints about any of the options. Food was prepared quickly and the group had a great time over drinks and bites in the upstairs area and it was all incredibly affordable. This place is really a hidden gem with authentic Irish pub vibes. Thank you to Sean's for giving us such a wonderful time out. It was a welcomed relief in post pandemic world. read more

Great burgers! Price is about what you would expect but it's a nice place to go on a date or hang with friends

Walked in, and headed to the bar to enjoy some drinks and take it easy. The place was busy and looked like it was a hot spot based upon all the folks that were inside and outside enjoying their drinks and food. I ordered my drink and for appetizer, got my favorite - calamari. Sadly, the calamari was over fried and thus it was chewy to consume. The service was great, the bartenders were on top of their game, kept checking in on me, making sure I was good. Giving 4 stars because of the bartenders working that day - their friendliness, professionalism and attention during the busy hours was awesome! read more

Great spot for a drink in midtown for meeting a new friend or old. Irish bar with cider.

For an Irish bar the menu was pretty large both for food and beer. On the table we had "Everything but the kitchen sink" that was a fun presentation, fish and chips, bangers & mash and the Shepards pie. All food was on par for an Irish pub, no complaints there. The only knock here is the service. The place was not full but they were not attentive, we had to keep flagging them down to order drinks, then to order food and once again to get the check. read more

Sean's Bar and Grill is located in the heart of the theater district in NYC. It had a huge bar up front and a nice amount of seating for eating meals. My party ordered salads, sandwiches and bar pizza which were all fresh and delicious. They staff was very friendly and accommodating. The prices were very reasonable considering the location. I will definitely be coming back when I go to see a Broadway show. read more

What drew me to this place was the authentic Irish cuisine, i was extra excited to try Bangers n Mash. Upon arriving i was surprised it was more like a sports bar. It seemed pretty busy. For my drink i ordered Sean's Christmas Ale, tis the season after all! It was very hardy and had a spiced aftertaste. It definitely tasted like Christmas. My friend ordered the frozen marg Capri-Sean, it came in a pouch with a straw - how fun! I'm not big on the taste of tequila however the marg tasted like a lime slushee, no alcohol taste at all! The Bangers n Mash were good, my only complaint was they weren't hot when they arrived at the table. The Irish sausage was snappy and very tasty. I had some pub mustard on the side which added the perfect punch. Overall it was a very comforting meal! read more

We had a really nice dinner here. We decided upon a cranberry mule and a rum punch for starters. Our cocktails were amazing! Great taste, and lots of booze! For appetizers, we got the spinach artichoke dip, which was really creamy with crunchy tortilla chips. We ordered shepherds pie,the lamb burger, and fish and chips for dinner. All the entrées were excellent! We ended our meal with the brownie sundae, which was delicious! Our witches was really good and food came out so quickly! read more

The food was excellent! I really love bar food in an Irish pub in NYC. Bangers and mash and chicken pot pie are our go to orders. The service was great, very attentive.

Thursday - 5:30pm We went at prime time happy hour and sat outside to take advantage of the nice weather . They did have seating outing which isn't as nice as the other places I passed on the block . Moreover , there were too many mosquitoes as they had the fake plants and there's no air circulation ( I asked if they could turn on the fan but the Gentleman told the server it's not possible . My first ask was if we can sit at another table which he also didn't approve of so I wasn't surprised he didn't accommodate my asking to turn on the fan ). More than an hour is enough if you're outside because of the mosquitoes, we just had to finish eating the food ( chicken tenders , wings , waffle fries nachos and fish and chips - all mediocre and typical pub food ) . I support businesses and encourage patrons to support restaurants but business owners should also try to understand with the slew of competition, they need to really step up their game . Lovely server , she gets two thumbs up ( young , friendly ) read more

A friend and I stopped by Sean's Bar & Kitchen on a Monday evening around 7 PM EST. We were surprised that it was not super crowded and noisy that meant we could have a conversation without yelling at each other. Haha! Totally enjoyed the Irish vibes in an Irish owned bar located in the heart of NYC. Sean's Bar & Kitchen is not too far away from major NYC's attractions such as the Rockefeller Center and Radio City. Such a spacious bar with loads of seats by the bar as well as tables and Booths. I was very impressed by their chandelier. The waiters and waitress were very attentive and bubbly. They'd greeted us with smiles then took us to our seats of choice. Sean's Bar & Kitchen's menu has the typical bar kinda fast food options with loads of draft beer and IPA's selection. My friend and I decided to ordered these appetizers: - Buffalo Chicken Fingers - Truffle French Fries Their appetizers are quite huge and definitely shareable for a party of two. We were there for the Sean's House Beer's and IPA's. We'd tried the following IPA's: - Sean's Lager - Sean's Pilsner - Sean's Porter - Sean's Wheat - Sean's IPA I was very pleased that both the food and house drinks were fairly affordable. Must definitely a friendly atmosphere where you can enjoy the Irish vibes and bar life in NYC. read more

Hello, I just visited Sean's bar and kitchen. I must say the service was above and beyond above what I have experienced at other restaurants or pubs. Mayra served me and she was superb. What a kind individual. When I was done I headed to the bar and Kenneth was also amazing. He knows how to make drinks and quickly. What a great vibe throughout the whole place. I will be back for sure. You will have a great time. read more

This place was packed as it was pouring outside but it was huge with two full levels. I went upstairs to the top bar and asked the bartender if there was a spot open. He said no but that he would keep an eye out. I got a Guinness in the meantime. As soon as a spot opened up, the bartender was so nice and told me and then went and saved it for me. It was nice that he remembered and despite it being packed did that. Didn't try any food but it looked good. read more

If this was your neighborhood spot, it'd be worthy of 3 stars - an "elevated" Applebee's if you will. But for the disneyfied, crowded, touristy hell that is midtown (especially at Xmas): Sean's is a cut above. On the last weekend before Xmas, we only had to wait 5-10 minutes to get a table for 5. Don't get me wrong, the place was bustling and the service somewhat spotty at times, but it's run a lot better than nearby "Bill's." The food is probably better and more diverse than their rival as well: I had the Irish chicken curry and ate the entire thing! It's not spicy, but it's a touch sweet. Very good. Nikki's Gaelic burger did NOT come out mid-rare as requested. Rather it was over cooked and fairly flavorless in my opinion. She doesn't like to make a fuss so she ate it. They offer gluten-free buns which is an awesome plus. Small upcharge but not too bad, $2-3. My brother in law had the Irish stew and my sister had the shepherds pie. I think they cleaned their plates too. Nephew had chicken fingers, they seemed fine. The drinks were good and they offer their own private label beer that purportedly comes from the emerald Isle. I don't remember the total for 5, I think each entree was $20 or less which isn't bad for the area. Highly recommend and it's kid friendly. read more

Great service and homey feel. Plenty of TVs to watch games. Well priced considering the area. I had the fish and chips. Very good. Even came with a side of mushy peas. On par with UK pubs. Couple pints of Carlsberg was only like $15 USD read more

We went for breakfast shortly they opened at 9 am. We were the only people there at the time, but it didn't necessarily feel like they were prepared to serve people. The menu online was a little different than the options they offered in the actual restaurant. Also, the pictures on the menu in restaurant will really make you question your choice in restaurants. Pictures online are FAR better. Definitely hope they update the menu copies they offer in restaurant, because it was a little off putting and confusing. Only 1 of 2 people ended up ordering - waffle was fluffy and nicely presented, but a little bit dry. No one ever came back to check in to refill drinks or give us the check after we were finished with the food for a while. Definitely smelled like a well loved bar - cleaning supply smell was strong that early in the morning. Wish we would've given this a try during lunch/dinner time because I do think it would be better than 3 stars, unfortunately this rating wasn't based on the experience we had. read more

We stopped by here for a late night snack and drinks. We were happy they were still serving food even though it was 11 pm already. We got the chicken tenders with buffalo sauce and fried pickle chips. The chicken tenders were standard but the perfect late night bite. Would definitely get them again. The fried pickle chips were just alright. The pickles were cut so thinly you can barely even taste them. It just tasted like breading. After a while we just took off the breading and ate the small amounts of pickle inside. We would probably skip this next time. Overall a great, reliable bar! read more
