    chicken burger
    Suchi O.

    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.

    This is Sean's delicious Irish Cheesecake.

    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 .

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Gaelic Burger
    Jenn W.

    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!

    Chicken Pot Pie
    Stephanie L.

    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.

    Are you showing the 6 nations rugby Ireland v England on March 18?

    Need to contact bar directly. If so go, I was a patron not an employee.

    Is it loud? Thinking to have lunch in midtown where we can have a conversation

    It is not too loud. I was able to have a conversation with my husband, however, there are several televisions on the wall, so if there is a popular game on, it may attract a crowd.

    Is this a place we could bring our 7 year old son? He'd get a big kick seeing his dads name on the sign and the glasses when we come up in December!

    Yes, I've taken my nephew there for lunch when they've visited the city while I was at work. They have a children's menu and it's not a rowdy place. It's perfectly fine.

    Hi guys. Are you showing Premier League? ?

    Yes we are!

    Pretty typical Irish pub, was there for Knicks game. Good specials and good was good and quick…read more Good energy

    The "Perfect" Pint is apparently a far cry from reality…read more Our server, Ruffino, seemed perfectly cordial at first, but that changed rather quickly when we discovered a 20% automatic gratuity added to our bill without any prior notice. We didn't find out about this little surprise until the check was placed on our table. Nothing like discovering an extra charge at the end of your meal that apparently everyone was supposed to know about except the customers. We went downstairs to the host stand and asked to speak with a manager. We were informed that there was no manager on duty--apparently, just a staff of bartenders. When we questioned the automatic gratuity, we were told that all orders over $100 automatically receive a 20% gratuity. There was just one small problem: we had never been informed of this policy, nor did we see it posted anywhere. We politely asked for the charge to be removed since it had not been disclosed to us. We were told there was "nothing that could be done." Naturally, we then went back to Ruffino and asked to speak with his boss. We were promptly brought the exact same person we had already spoken with downstairs--who then proceeded to tell Ruffino to remove the gratuity. So apparently, there was something that could be done. Good to know. Unfortunately, the situation then went from questionable customer service to outright disrespect. During the interaction, our experience working in the food service industry was insulted, and we were told, and I quote: "I feel bad for whatever establishment you worked for because I know it was S**T. Get the F**K out and never return." Classy. For the record, there were only four people in our party. The establishment's own gratuity guidelines state that a 20% automatic gratuity applies to parties of six or more, not four. So let's recap: * A 20% gratuity was added without being disclosed. * We were told it applied because our order exceeded $100. * We were unable to find this policy posted anywhere. * We were initially told nothing could be done about the charge. * Someone subsequently instructed Ruffino to remove it, proving that something could, in fact, be done. * And when we questioned the situation, we were insulted and told to leave and never come back. Honestly, the last part was the easiest request to accommodate. If "Perfect" is supposed to describe the customer experience here, I'd hate to see what happens at an establishment that's merely average. As for the request to "never return"--don't worry. We won't. Some establishments manage to make that decision remarkably easy for you.

Apparently this beer is not as common in New York, but there were a couple Irish pubs that still sold them on draft and luckily there was one nearby my hotel. Very cool place! It's easy to miss walking by but once inside there's a bar on the main floor, restaurants in the next floor and a rooftop bar several stories up. The rooftop bar is a huge open atmosphere and once seated you have about 40 beers on tap to select from. The staff is incredibly friendly as well and knew exactly what I was looking for. Would definitely come back to try more drinks!

Bartenders - FIVE of them will ignore tf out of you until they have no choice but to speak to you because some finance bros came and called the bartenders over. Thought it was because I'm a woman but then this older Caucasian woman came to sit next to me and they came to her right away (I'm a woman of color). I even had to flail my arms just to get the tab and I can tell that it's their routine to ignore a certain demographic. I was only here because my friend had to meet up with my work colleagues so I thought I would grab a seat at the bar and enjoy a quick burger before heading out for birthday festivities. The burger and fries were good and the rooftop is nice. I have no desire to return but it's probably what they want.
