The stars finally aligned this winter and I had the opportunity to try it out. The vibes are perfect. Fog and bubbles, sea noises and all of the art go together seemlessly. Drinks were great. We had three and left suitably sloshed for the night with no aftereffects. We didn't have too many bites but the food was very good for a bar. I'm excited to go back and I hope we have just as much luck getting in next time.

Cocktails are made with various types of rum and ingredients like grapefruit, maraschino, wormwood amaro, falernum, thyme, Assam tea, spiced lime, allspice, coconut, cucumber, nutmeg, sour orange. All the drinks keep with the tropical, fruity taste with a hint of spice. They are also broken up into categories (dry land = no alcohol, shallows = average amount of alcohol, and abyss (larger amounts of alcohol). The abyss section has some cocktails that are limited to two per customer. They have some bar bites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, broiled oysters, ricotta, dumplings, sliders. I had the French fries with kimchi ranch, which were underwhelming. Bartenders were cool and kept the drinks coming. I got in immediately without an issue or a wait, but it was right after a snowstorm. I've seen some people struggle to get in or have a long wait.

The bartenders are always sweet new or old and its always just fun tiki vibes. Friday Saturday, I know for sure they check ID via security, any other day the bartender can card you if you look underage or janky. No food served here but you are allowed to bring in your own food. Next door is Wing Bar (great wings if i do say so myself) The drinks are resonably priced $8-$14. Summertime check out the bakcyard and cool down with a signature frozen zombie, you wont be disappointed.

I can see this place as a good date spot, tho it might get noisy and hard to hear so save that for later on.

We came here after visiting a bar in the area. That was overcrowded. My friend went to for frozen…read moredrinks. We looked online and it said that this place had great frozen drinks as well. But when we arrived we found out there were none so we ordered off of their menu. We should have just left and went somewhere else, but we were tired of riding around looking for good frozen drinks.The guy bartender was kind of rude and I think the lady bartender noticed so she was extremely nice, overcompensating. He was also coughing a lot, and blowing his nose. Like dude , you might want to cover your mouth and not touch people's straws. My friend got one of their specialty drinks and said it was okay. But not the best. I ordered one of my favorite drinks a pain killer and it was definitely not a painkiller. I'm not sure who taught them how to make it. But it was missing the most key ingredients that make it what it is the cream of coconut and pineapple juice. It was extremely acidic (splashes of low quality orange and pineapple juices) and made with poorly substituted rum (I was sure to ask was it the British navy rum listed on the menu). On top of all of this, the cute little cup of sadness was sixteen dollars! I don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon though I thought the aesthetic was very cute.

The venue is pretty spacious they have a back dining area, a big bar when you enter and a full bar upstairs. There's a ton of televisions if you are watching sports as well. They have a pretty deep beer menu which I loved. The food menu is Irish influenced bar bites. We had the wings which were nice and crispy. The center of attention was the waffle fries nachos. You can't go wrong with a potato vehicle to fresh toppings. All and all great fun spot for sports and gatherings. Also this is a melting pot. Various ages, groups, backgrounds, saw a few families. All are welcome. One flaw is St. Patty it appeared that our waiter who was superb was the only one working so it was a bit of chase to close out.

Solid Irish pub....i have only been here at lunch (I don't go out at night much if I'm not blowing…read moretrumpet at a gig or rehearsal). In general, I like the mellow / peaceful vibes of outer borough NYC Irish pubs at lunchtime. McMahon's did not disappoint. Solid buffalo chicken wings & good burger. I am also post fries (I will try one or two of yours, but I don't need an order of fries for myself.), so can't comment on the fries. They also make a mean Caesar salad. The Caesar & buffalo wings are pretty much my metric for all Irish pubs. McMahon's would def be in the upper 50th percentile. There are a bunch of negative reviews for this spot on here for when they are very busy, on Barclays Center game nights and / or weekends. I feel like, if you read between the lines, it's people coming in groups when it's busy acting entitled. The staff at lunch has been nothing but courteous, w/ excellent service. Also, very clean inside, & food was good quality / fresh ingredients. There are almost no Irish pubs in this area open for lunch anymore at all - thank goodness this is a good one!

You order food at the bar and grab it from the kitchen. The food is surprisingly good. This isn't your typical bar food wings and nachos. They have this sweet and tangy guochang wings.

Their cocktails and drinks are great! Doesn't matter which bartender, they maintain the same standard. We opt to go early as they get pretty packed on the weeekend/ evenings. They have pool in the bar room. This is surprisingly a big space and ghe crowd is always vibes.

The real sand floor makes this so fun and unique as if you're really at the beach. It's a combination of a dive bar meets beach shack with tiki drinks. We came for a drink, which you scan a QR code for the menu. They don't have physical menus as my WiFi wasn't working too well in here, but they gave me the WiFi password to access. I ordered the Hibiscus Margarita ($15), which was ok. I think frozen would've been tastier than on the rocks, but it was too cold. The fiancé's Bushwacker ($15) tiki cocktail was good though and came in a fun tiki cup. Definitely recommend the tiki cocktails here. They also have a covered outdoor patio that is also covered in sand. Seems like the perfect spot for a frozen tiki cocktail on a hot summer day, though they really made the best of it even in the winter.

The surfboards hanging from the ceiling and over all tiki aesthetic makes Surf Bar perfect for even the coldest winter day. The backyard feels like a different world than urban Williamsburg and they always have a beach movie playing in the back. I've seen Elvis beach bum classics, Surf's Up, and Jaws to name a few. The 13" CRT in the front room was playing Magnum, P.I. reruns. which goes nicely with the fish tanks. Service-wise, the waiters are always attentive and get you started with water for the table and drinks right away. The bartender is always nice to speak to and gave me some recommendations on drinks I haven't tried yet. Of the food options, I wish the main entrees weren't so expensive, which is why I never get them, but the apps are great and I can't come here without getting the calamari. But you don't come to tiki bars for the food, you come for the drinks. They make all their stuff in front of you with fresh fruit and you can't go wrong. The Gorilla Milk is a personal favorite but you can't go wrong with a classic Painkiller, Fogcutter, or Hurricane. The tiki drinks all come in the classic tiki glass with the iconic umbrella and slice of pineapple. All in all, this is one of my favorite bars when looking for something unique.
