In here right now leaving this review. Great after work spot. Happy hour until 7pm on the weekdays (m-f) . Nice strong drinks and reasonably priced. Small selection of bar snacks but we tried the guac and chips those were good, home made tortilla chips. The mozzarella sticks were so good we ordered 2 rounds lol. Great cheese pull. Then we decided fo do an order of calamari pro tip order some marinara. Its better then the sauce it comes with. I had a Moscow mule and a jalepeno margarita amazing. Ill be back here again for the happy hour. read more

I love an Irish pub. The Full Shilling outdid any other I've been to. The decor was gorgeous, the staff ( Joe and Florian) were the epitome of hospitality, and the food was absolutely spectacular. Check out the cheese pull on these mozzarella sticks! 10 out of 10, can't wait to go back! read more

We stumbled into this place on St. Patrick's day. It wasn't really busy at all, but it was a Monday. I felt really cheated on March 17 with getting light "pint" of Guinness in a plastic cup when there were proper glasses behind the bar. The bartender was friendly and nice. read more

Goodness, what a throwback to old northern Irish pubs! Bar well stocked. Friendly, and efficient Irish server. It was a grand experience! I absolutely LOVED THE flavorful Irish Shepherd's Pie! My companion raved about his Mediterranean Salad with Cajun Chicken (it was great)! Full points! read more

Nice hh spot if you work nearby. It's close to the wall st (2/3) station. There is hh from 4-7pm (e.g. beer, wine, etc.). The food was decent bar food (e.g. wings, quesadilla, chicken fingers). It does get loud but if you get a table in the back then noise level is ok. Friendly service! read more

The food and service were excellent. We sat at the bar and the attendants were very observant and aware. read more

One of my favorite pubs for a long-standing time now given ambiance and consistency. Hands down one of the best spots for bar food in a bar-type atmosphere. Everything from burger to apps to the spicy chicken Sandwich-which I had most recently- is flavorful and plentiful. Throwback Irish pub in what is an old NYC feel. Can either grab a quick drink or sit down for a relaxed meal with quick service. Definitely recommended to all. read more

Historic pub looks like it's transported straight out of England or Ireland. Warning: there is a credit card fee that is not very clearly disclosed. If that is an issue be sure to bring cash. Serves a very decent, decadent burger and there is a good selection of draft beers. Unfortunately one of the beers we received had gone off and had a horrible sour taste, the bartender agreed and gave us a new one free of charge. read more

The Fulling Shilling is a Irish Pub located in downtown Manhattan, near the financial district. This was my first time in Manhattan in over 10+ years and my first time going to The Full Shilling. The restaurant is quite large! As soon as you walk in, the restaurant immediately opens up to a bar and plenty of table seating. We had a party of 5, around lunch time at 12:30. We had no issues getting seated at the time and reservations weren't required. The service is tremendous! The team member at The Full Shilling seated us and provided menus. There were so many delicious items on their menu such as the shepherd's pie, but ultimately, I had to choose their corned beef sandwich on rye bread! The ambiance is loud and fun inside The Full Shilling! All of our meals came out in approximately 20 minutes. There was so much food! I couldn't finish the corned beef sandwich with a side of French Fries. The corned beef was flavorful! The rye bread enhance the overall meal. The French Fries were fried perfectly and seasoned well. Next time I stop at The Full Shilling, I'll need to order the Shephard's Pie! read more

Abience of an old Irish pub. Unlike the old NY days, staffed by local New Yorkers. Good, pleasant service, but takes a little away from the authentic nature of the place (don't think any NY pub has real Irish staff anymore, except many still do as bartenders). Had the traditional Shepard's pie and Irish whiskey, which were both perfect. They used the correct creme for the Irish Whiskey, not whipped cream. The burger was VERY good too! Really an enjoyable financial district place with a fun outdoor street-side seating area that looks like an old NY Bus. read more

I would fully expect an Irish pub like The Full Shilling to be in Sunnyside or Woodside but instead it's situated all the way in the downtown of Manhattan. It is a place that is ideal for drinks and a hearty meal in a super casual setting. It is a quality option for afterwork shindigs for Wall Streeters and downtown residents. The exterior is a bit deceiving, as it doesn't give away how big this place really is. The bar is extensive, stocked with spirits with a nice sized counter. Apart from the bar, the dining room is pretty spacious and enough to catch most people by surprise. It's not the most well lit in here, but that's the plus side of an intimate feel in pub fashion. Irish pub with a bar bite feel is the best way I can describe their food. Their sandwiches and burgers are their biggest winners but folks looking for something light or hearty are sure to find it on this menu. I haven't tried their shepherd's pie just yet, but I've heard good things. Drinks wise, the standard run of the mill options are available and they most certainly have Guinness on tap. Service is the strongest asset. The bartenders are friendly, the managers are professional, and the crowds are never too overwhelming here. Keeping it casual is almost always going to merit good results for this place, but always keep expectations reasonable. read more

I came into The Full Shilling after experiencing something intense near the East River--something that left me emotionally drained and overwhelmed. I wasn't even sure what I needed at that moment, but the staff somehow just knew. They let me sit in a quiet back booth, offered to charge my phone for me, and gave me the space to collect myself without making me feel rushed or out of place. Their kindness was subtle, effortless, and incredibly grounding. And the food? Absolutely hit the spot. The steak sandwich was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor, and the calamari was crisp, light, and genuinely some of the best I've had in the city. read more

I've been here twice and haven't taken pictures. This is based on my most recent visit. I had the sirloin sandwich on garlic bread. It was delicious. I asked for the sirloin to be rare and it was cooked perfectly. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The sauce was flavorful. I ordered a side salad instead of fries. The vinaigrette was really light and perfect to accommodate the heavy sandwich. The happy hour drink prices are honored at the tables too. The place is nice. A little dark inside. Service is friendly and on point. read more

Literally the best Irish pub in NYC. So good. Best Guinness stew you'll find. I've only ever ordered from there, haven't had a chance to actually go in yet. read more

Super fun bar. Came on a Thursday night and it was not crowded at all. Large and spacious, lots of bar food options, and AMAZING MUSIC, esp for anyone who grew up in the 90s. Would come back here just for the playlists, despite the fact we weren't in love with the margaritas we got. read more

I found the full shilling using a card with directions given to me by the bartender of a neighboring pub whose kitchen had closed and I was hungry. I got a solid martini, bangers and mash, and some good laughs at the bar. I just met up with a friend to meet there for my second visit. We split the beet salad and the calamari while we admired the shipped from Ireland bar. Long live the full shilling. The food is just a little fancier than regular pub food, prices are fair, and it's very down to earth and relaxed. read more

Good service at the bar with the atmosphere of a classic Irish bar (beautiful bar, tin ceilings, enough people to make it feel busy but not super loud, etc.)-- I had a Brooklyn lager & folks around me were drinking Guinness and it looked like they know how to pour a pint properly. Ordered the black bean burger which was good but not special--w/lots of avocado. Asked for mustard--Colemans was what they had. Fries were the "chips" kind-- largish potato chunks that get a bit soggy as they cool, so not my favorite, but typical for a pub. I'd go back next time in the area. read more

Warm and feel good, neighborhood bar right next to my work place. We often meet here for happy hours or quick work lunches. They have an excellent lunch menu and good selection of beers and wines. Go there for perfect happy hour cocktails or delicious comfort food. My personal favorites are black bean burger and Salmon over cauliflower puree. This place never falls short of expectations, warm interiors and not heavy on the pocket at all. read more

Fresh food! Disappointed it took me so long to try this place. Excellent spicy chicken sandwich and Cajun fries. The burger was delicious as well!! The guy who waited on us was great, but the woman was very rude. I definitely want to come back and try more meals read more

Nice little Irish pub located near Wall street in the financial district in lower Manhattan. The inside decor is cool, with the paneling and walls flown in from Dublin. It's pretty much your standard pub set up, but the fact that there's not a whole lot of places to go out at in the area, this may be one of your best bets, if your hotel happens to be around here, which mine was. Didn't get a chance to try the food, just stopped in for a beer. I'm sure there's cooler places if you'd venture uptown, but if just looking to stay in this area one night, one of your better options I'd say read more

OK. We came here on a fluke. Gotta love a great fluke! We met Colm who was an amazing bar tender, so knowledgeable and personable!! We came back just for Colm! Then on a subsequent visit we tried the bangers and mash! So freaking authentic and so good!!! This is truly a great find!! read more

I really enjoyed coming in here. The staff is very kind, the ambiance is lovely in the evening with the candles. From my observations, a lot of regulars. The food specials look great (I happened to be there on a day that lamb shank was a special but ordered a turkey burger instead). Let me begin by saying that the turkey burgers here are delicious! Sometimes with a turkey burger it's hit or miss. Sounds like it would be simple enough. Here, it was everything. It wasn't dry at all. The tomato and and lettuce were fresh. I also enjoyed that the bun was slightly toasted. Bathrooms were clean and this may just be my new go to place. The happy hour specials were reasonably priced and they had an assortment of everything. read more

Full Shilling is definitely a go-to spot for after work hours by Wall Street. It's been around for a long time and you can sense the sincereness when you walk in. They have a wide range of drinks at the bar and a decent happy hour. Their menu includes typical pub foods that are tasty but nothing too extraordinary. If you're looking for a no-frill Irish pub, stop by and grab a beer on tap. read more

Authentic Irish pub, with its bar having been sent over from Belfast. Excellent pub grub, highlighted by the "Shilling burger" and fish n chips, amongst other traditional Irish fare. And an awesome pint of Guinness. Great staff. Check out "The Snug" off the bar. Awesome place that's been open for going on 25 years ! read more

I haven't been here in a while but food went WAY down hill. That atmosphere is great for a drink but eat elsewhere! We had the nachos - average. Black bean burger is literally one you buy in the freezer section and was put on a cheap bun and not very good. Pasta - bland Chicken curry - not good read more

A great Irish restaurant/bar. I was able to eat here 2 nights. 1st was in setting area, I had the Shepherd Pie. I cannot say enough about it. Great flavors and a prefect mix as you dig it. Me being gready I would of liked a little more. Keep on mind 6'3" 225#s so it may have just been me. 2nd night I ate in bar, I had to return for the Fish and Chips. My colegee had it the 1sr night it was 2 nice pieces of fish. The breading was crunchy and awesome flavor, yeah I'm from NOLA so dat's saying something. Also they served Teeling Whiskey, was a perfect Ireland side. read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon to grab some pub food. The bar is really pretty and looks like an Authentic Irish pub. There are 3 huge flat screens in the back and it must be packed during games. The menu had a lot of good choices: burger, fish and chips, sandwiches and salads. Some of the other items included full Irish Breakfast, stews and steaks. We were the only customers but it was a rainy day and this place is not on a busy street during the weekends. I ordered the chicken BLT and my bf got the Cajun chicken sandwich. The food was really good for a bar. I usually get scared to order a salad or anything besides a burger but this place was above average. Fries were crispy and not oily, food was fresh and served pretty fast. Although I didn't actually drink any beer, they had a good selection on tap. read more

We just moved into the city, and we're Looking for a quick bite and happy hour drinks. The full shilling was right around the corner from our apartment, and definitely met our needs. We got them right at the open and start happy hour, so seating was really easy. They have a really fun outdoor seating space, but it was way too hot outside to be there! Happy hour is just for drinks, without any food choices. However, their food options are reasonably priced compared to where we were in Philadelphia. Fish tacos, fish and chips, Cobb salad were solid choices. The french fries were a bit soggy, but it came with a side of ketchup and tartar sauce that were well seasoned. Cobb salad was a little warm for my taste, but the portion size was awesome. We accommodated putting a blue cheese on the side and gave me a great portion to. We definitely come back here for happy hour and food. read more

With an office full of people from Belfast, Ireland and other areas of the UK, the place has become a regular for my co-workers. They love the interior because it reminds them of home. The very large dining area in the back is a favor for some quiet chatting or some noise celebrating. For me it is only a short walk from our office building so it is easy to run down for a drink and snack and run back to finish some late work. We usually start with a Half Platter for $36; it includes wild wings, mozzarella sticks, crisp fried calamari, chicken fingers with sauces and garnish with veggie sticks. They have a full platter for $52 but everyone prefers the half platter for some reason. The cocktails are mostly $10 each (favors are the Hazelnut chocolate martinis) so it is beer for most of us. Overall, it is cozy and a nice place to stop for a drink. read more

Such a fun spot! Amazing drinks and great bartender, we stayed until they closed down and didn't even realize it! Definitely recommend

On Thursday, December 16, 2021 I went to Full Shilling (160 Pearl Street, NY NY 10005) with my coworkers to celebrate the holidays. At the bar Jack took my order. He was rude, short, and not at all friendly or engaging . Not even when I mistakenly gave him my BJs card to use as payment (I thought it was my BOA card). The rest of the evening he spent his time at the opposite end of the bar, serving folks down there smiling and enjoying his job. It just so happened that those folks were Caucasian and the majority of the folks on my end of the bar were Hispanic, Indian and African American like myself. We constantly had to over extend ourselves in order to get his attention. When he would finally come he would be rude and short. We ordered shots and an order fries, they never came. I asked Jack was he ok because he was giving off negative energy. As he was snatching up napkins and straws he rudely informed me that they were short staffed and it was a rough day. I said "ok but I don't need your attitude" Jack said "then fuck off and get the fuck out!" And walked away. Shocked and appalled I took my complaint to the manager Evelyn who in return said to me "well I'm not going to take your word for it, there's two sides to every story" as if I'm going to interrupt my good time with my coworkers to make a false allegation in the middle of a noisy bar. I took offense to both Jack's and Evelyn's behavior. Jack had an extremely poor and negative attitude and customer service the entire night and Evelyn the same when I gave my complaint. I felt that i was treated that way because I'm African American because afterwards saw both Evelyn and Jack laughing and enjoying a good time with my Caucasian coworkers and other white patrons but not giving an ounce of that joy to me or my other minority coworkers. Oddly enough though, the fries finally came and the ended up being on the house. Why thanks! I will never return to that establishment. I told all of my coworkers the negative experience that I had with the bartender Jack and Evelyn the manager. I will also share my experience verbally and on social media. I hope that Full Shilling can expand their staff so that Jack can be more pleasant to the minority patrons. read more

Great food and drinks !!! 5/5 recommend :) came in the minute they opened and was happily sat and served immediately

We stopped in on a slow Saturday night. Our server was also the bartender and bar back. She was attentive and friendly. The French onion soup was hot and delicious. It was not too salty and the cheese was flavorful. Shepherds pie was hot, just the right size for the big manly appetite of my date. Mashed potatoes were fresh and light. Meat filling was juicy. No peas in the pie- carrots were crunchy and yummy though. Our friends had burgers that were perfectly cooked on fresh buns. It was nice that it wasn't crowded and we could all talk. The music was not too loud and the bar crowd was chill. read more

I have lived in NYC for years; in Murray Hill, Chelsea, the UWS, and I think this is one of my favorite bars in the whole city. The food is incredible at the price point (especially the fish and chips!). The drinks are fairly priced and poured with a heavy hand. The service is top notch and the establishment is clean and well decorated. I hate reviews that say things like "nothing extraordinary" or "what you'd expect" - don't come here for a white table cloth tasting menu. This is a great pub with fairly priced food and drink and great service, it's simple but it's simple done right. read more

Great service and great drinks! Burgers are AWESOME! Thanks Joanna! Hope to see you soon! read more

The Full Shilling is one of those NY Irish Pubs, that's been around for a while, that's not hip or expensive or trying to serve fancy cocktails or fancy food. It is what it is - a standard NY Irish pub. What I mean by that, is that if I think of a true Irish pub, without any NY influence, then I'd say the Dead Rabbit nearby is that place. That being said, it's much more expensive and not as easy to just walk in, grab a pint and sit down for food. Most of the time you need reservations, it's packed, etc. Molly's (on 3rd ave) is another authentic Irish Pub, but it's been fairly NY influenced, in my opinion. The Full Shilling on the other hand is user friendly. You can almost always get a table or seat at the bar, there's no reservations needed and it's never really packed, so you don't have to wait 10 minutes to get your drink or have your drink made. Plus, the Interior of the Bar and the back bar was Shipped directly from Belfast, Ireland and is over 100 Years Old. So that's pretty cool. I've been coming here since 2003 when I worked nearby at Deutsche Bank, and was definitely one of our after-work spots as there was literally NOTHING in the Financial District, other than a few hole-in-the wall bars at that time. Came here for Lunch on St. Patty's Day 2016. Got a Guinness & a Burger, both were good. The Food overall is pretty good pub food, but nothing spectacular. I'd put the Full Shilling in the same category as some of the other NY Irish Pubs in the city (below), although these are my favorites, over the Full Shilling to be honest: Molly's (on 3rd ave) Paddy Reilly's Landmark Tavern Failte Paddy Maguire's Puck Fair Dublin House Donovan's Pub (queens) McSorley's O'Hara's So if you're in the Financial District and want something more "Irish" then go to Dead Rabbit, and if you want something more "New Yawk" then go to O'Hara's, which was the pub of choice for all the 9/11 Responders (NY cops, firemen, etc.). But, if you're looking for a good blend, a "NY Irish Pub", which is something down the middle, then the Full Shilling is a great option. read more

Quickly becoming my favorite place for a lunch break burger and beer. Service is always attentive and with a smile. I've only ever gotten their mini sliders which are delicious. I honestly will crave their sliders randomly. The rest of the menu seems delicious from what I've seen on other people plates. Can't wait until quarantine is over so I can go back. And I hope that their small business survives this pandemic! read more
