Tiny little neighborhood bar in the upper east side with great vibes, amazing service from the bartender and a pretty good espresso martini. We came here on a late night and it was calm and quiet with just a few locals in, one of them recommended the espresso martini with baileys and it was delicious. Later in the night it got a bit crowded but the bartender was able to handle it all and we truly enjoyed our time here. Looking forward to coming back! read more

Best irish pub in the neighbourhood, and the cocktails are espcialy the espresso martini

Friendly bartenders at a bar with great ambience. The regulars are fantastic, the drinks are always pouring, and the jukebox is fun! Love this little gem! read more

First of all, the service was spectacular! Our server made sure we had good seats and turned on the fan for us outside. My bf got the Guinness and agreed with other reviews that said it was a great pour! I got the passion fruit marg, even though it seemed like a beer bar, but was not disappointed! Both drinks were great and we'll definitely come back since I want to try some of their food (a bar that serves pig in a blankets!!) Overall, a fun and laidback bar with great service! read more

Trinity Pub - Guinness and passion fruit marg - Pubs Near Me - New York, New York

I'm a native New Yorker who works night and let me just say this city sucks now. I walk into a bar full of people and music playing with a tiny little Irish bartender tells me no he's closed up when I ask for one drink. I don't drink much if barely at all. But he missed a $20 tip. These people suck read more

If you must patronize this establishment, pay in cash to avoid presenting the dishonest bartender(s) with the opportunity to overcharge you for their tip. I was here on 12/5/22 and completed a transaction between 9:30pm-9:45pm for a single beer. The total came to $9.61 and I added a tip for $1.39 on my card, bringing the total authorization on the card to $11. When the transaction was finalized and posted to my account a few days later, the final charge was for $12. Apparently, the bartender believed himself to be entitled to an additional dollar tip and had no problem engaging in fraud to ensure he got it. Being that I was overcharged for "only a dollar", I considered letting it go. However, then I started thinking about how this is probably not an isolated incident, but probably a general practice, as the bartender(s) probably figure that people will not take issue for a dollar or, better yet, believe drunker patrons won't remember what they charged. Thinking about how every excess charge of "just a dollar" can add up to a substantial amount of stolen tips quickly, and on the principle of the matter, I called the business two days (12/14/22) at around 4:30pm. A man answered the phone and did not identify himself. I advised him of the situation and that I was more or less giving them the opportunity to explain the discrepancy and do right by me. He asked me who the bartender was that had helped me and I told him that I did not know but gave him the very specific information about the date and time the transaction took place (to the half hour). He took my phone number and name and said he would look into it and someone would call me back, and I imagine that I won't hear back because they are still under the impression that this is only about a dollar. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't have left that bartender a single penny. read more

It's all about the Guinness- it's just better than anywhere else in NYC. Owen is a top bloke, barman and I hope the bar adds nuts and chips! We need a salty snack when drinking pints read more

Trinity Pub - Guinness is good - Pubs Near Me - New York, New York

This place literally smells like a dirty wet gym shoe. I HATE to leave a bad review for any business, but it's stomach churning.

Any time I need a drink I go straight to trinity. The service is amazing, all the bartenders are great. I love the people that I have met in there. Don't have anything negative to say. read more

Really nice quaint and cozy Irish pub on the UES. Never seems too crowded on the times I have dropped in here for a pint of Guinness, but the bartenders are friendly and the place is welcoming. A nice change from the normal fratty or sports bars in the area. It is a small pub with only a booth and about a dozen bar stools. Seems like the kind of place where everyone knows each others names. Kind of like a mini Cheers kind of place. If you are a fan of cream ales and stouts this is a good spot to relax and enjoy your drink. Accompany it with a shot of Jameson's and you have a proper Irish drinking experience. The do have a happy hour, good jukebox, and on occasion will have live music playing. Just a nice little neighborhood spot to relax and enjoy a drink among a more adult crowd. read more

A gem of a bar on the UES in Yorkville. Small, comfy neighborhood feel. The kind of place you can make quick friends at the bar. There's a little alcove in the back if you get there early enough, if you're feeling less social or have a small group of friends. Duncan the bartender is a really good guy. He'll take care of you. There's a nice selection of beer and they always have something locak, like Bronx Brew. It also has one of the best trivia nights in town on Mondays (starts around 8 pm). Don't miss it. read more

I'm in town for a show and I stopped in at the Trinity for a bite. I had probably the best tasting fish and chips ever. I haven't had meat in 42 years. I eat mostly fish. So I know what I like when it comes to seafood. Fish and chips is usually a go to most places. But if you want a good fish and chips you can't go wrong here. And I would like to add that Hannah the bartender was absolutely the sweetest. read more

Eoin is the best bartender on the upper east side! Highly recommend the espresso martini! Xoxo gossip girl read more

A great local pub in the Upper East Side. Steps away from the Q, get out at 83rd St, take the escalator. Good beers on draft and more cans and bottles, including $5 daily specials on Founder's IPA, Modelo, Guinness Blonde, Michelob Ultra, Magic Hat. Friendly Bartenders and a comfy, intimate pub. Located on 84th, between 2nd and 3rd Ave. This is a great bar to stop in with some friends, great for nightcap. Come here for Happy Hour after work, it's mellow then, a perfect way to unwind after a long day of work. You'll meet friendly people and have some great conversations. There is free WiFi. It's a captive portal. Tip, give your real email and you'll get an occasional offer to redeem a free beer. They don't spam, just an occasional message. Love this place, it's a such a benefit to have this in my neighborhood. read more

Trinity Pub - Now serving Modelo. Enjoy this and other $5 all day specials. - Pubs Near Me - New York, New York

Small neighborhood Irish Pub that will keep you coming back for more. Great playlist of music and there is also a jukebox. Patrons and bartenders sing along at the top of their lungs. The bartenders are fantastic. When it's crowded, they will help you find a place to stand or sit near the bar and they will most likely remember your name when you return. Great place to grab a drink and unwind. There is a small selection of beers on tap, but it is definitely a fully stocked Irish Pub. There is a small nook in the back corner of the bar that's more intimate. Perfect for a small group or date night. The rest of the bar is usually filled with happy adults of all ages who just want to have a good time. A neighborhood gem. read more

Nice friendly bar tender, quiet pub, great place to have a drink ... Love it! But no finger foods just drinks. read more

Maybe it was the fact that I was drinking beer at 2pm after just waking up, or maybe it was the abundance of pastel colored Polo shirts surrounding me... either way this bar didn't quite astound me, or really disappoint me. Dimly lit, sporting an actual Irish bartender - this bar has a good selection of beers. Oppressively hot outside, I opted for a Magners Irish Cider. Served on ice, I definitely recommend ordering this on a hot day. They have a few HD TVs near the bar, but nothing really beyond that. A low key atmosphere, this is a good place to come and talk with friends. read more

Love this neighborhood bar and Barry the bartender. Always a good time. It's a small dark bar filled with so many dudes. I live across from here and have wondered in late night by myself and made so many friends. They have regulars that frequent it and if you stay awhile, it gets pretty fun late at night and there is always the strap hangers from Dorian that are still seeking that last chance to take a girl home for some loving... read more

Great Classic Pub!!! Super Friendly bartenders and very welcoming. We make sure to visit and have drinks with Gene & Staff on our Annual LACo Fire Department visits for St. Patty's Day.. Slainte!!! (CHEERS) read more

Great bar. Highly recommend going here. Great bartender and clientele. Really good Guinness here at this bar.

I haven't been to Ireland, and I am obviously not a smidgen Irish, but still, I say that two times at the Trinity Pub is quite enough for me to judge the place as the epitome of what an Irish bar should be. If someone asked me why I like Irish pubs, I would bring them to this small yet never claustrophobic place with a mid-sized bar with cream ales and stouts on tap and a full bar behind, and one single booth room with buttons in the leather cushions. The first time I went, they had an authentic Celtic band jamming away in there with a small mic dangling from the ceiling to amplify the beautiful sound. Conditions for a proper local hangout fully met by Trinity: *No one actually talks about being Irish, they just ARE. You don't feel left out if you are not Irish or of Irish descent *A tasteful James Joyceian era painting presides over the booth room *The same bartenders are always there and tell everyone happy new year *When I ask if someone is in the women's bathroom, the bartender laughs, "Pull." (because I'd only been pushing the door) *An old timer sits at the end of the bar and roars, "This lady needs a chair!" When I walk in. He keeps glancing over me and I assume he's just a batty perve until I realize that he is a part of the family there and was earnestly concerned over my not having a seat *The people at this bar are not actual alcoholics juxtaposed with 21+ college students; they are clean cut grown ups who like to have a cold one and cut loose a bit in the safety of friends *The staff gently vetoes songs that SUCK by slyly skipping the jukebox with a remote control *A dude walks around singing every word correctly but out of tune to obscure shanty songs and eighties hits like "Voices Carry" *Drinks like the black and tan are not on a menu; they're a staple, and all you have to do is ask. *Everyone knows each others' names, but you don't feel sorry for them Well there's no use playing this place up too much more. It's all in the feeling of relaxation and belonging that radiate from this cozy but clean place. Trinity is a desireable spot, not only in comparison to the inferior watering holes in the Upper East area, but in general. read more

With the current economic crisis causing distress & confusion all over the city of New York, where is one expected to spend their last hard-earned dollars? Kinkos for updated resumes? A seriously in-tune financial advisor? Job inquiries for an Illinois senate seat? Joe the Plumber's new book? So many choices!! Fret no longer, my friend, a solution has been discovered! Alcohol is here to save the day!! But where can I find this secret to happiness, this fountain of gold, this bringer of love & joy, you say? Bars in the city are as prevalent as unemployed investment bankers. Look no further: Trinity Pub! The bartenders are super friendly, the drinks are strong, the music is good, & you will not be disappointed with the people watching. I would definitely recommend Trinity if you are looking for a chill night without a fussy scene on the ues. Your last-remaining dollars will not go to waste. Now if only I had the foresight to predict that Joe the Plumber's book would be 50% off the week AFTER I bought 12 copies..... read more

I live near Banshee so it was fun to see their sister bar. Kudos to them having Delirium Tremens! The place is definitely small, but cozy, I liked the vibe more than Banshee actually. The bartender that night was really fun and friendly and we had a good conversation about education or something before the Delirium kicked in. It's a little out of the way for me, but would definitely go back. PS: we ran into the owner, Gene. Nice guy! read more

I've been to a few places on a deliberate search for the best pour of Guinness in NYC. This place wins. Trinity pub has the closest pour of Guinness to what I had in Dublin. Very good bar overall. Always a cool bartender on staff and just a low key environment to enjoy a beer. read more

Trinity Pub - two pints of beer on a table - Pubs Near Me - New York, New York

I was dragged up here after 3 in the morning on a Saturday night. It's generally outside of the normal areas I hang out (i'm a below 14th street kind of snob, so sad). I actually thought the environment inside the bar was pretty fun. Definitely had a lot of neighborhood folks having one final drink before the night was over. After 4 AM the bartender hopped on the bar and started dancing/singing, which was extremely random but nobody seemed to mind. The crowd also seemed very British/Irish (no surprise obviously) I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here but I think if I lived in the area i'd pop in once in a while. read more

Great little (and I mean little) local Irish pub. Not much to say about it except that the beers are well priced, bartenders are super friendly, and the crowd is light on weekdays. Live music was good, even though I don't think anyone was paying attention. Cute nook available in the back for a small group or canoodling. All in all, a great little spot that's a refreshing change from the at times par-for-the-course stiff UES bar scene. read more

Great local bar! My sister and I first stumbled in to catch one of the World Cup games this summer. We were so happy we did! Good happy hour prices - $4 beers. The bartenders are super nice and friendly. Last time we came (two weeks ago) was with a group of friends - we had a celebratory birthday drink before heading out for the night. All the girls enjoyed the atmosphere and the drinks. We were able to snag the nook in the back, really nice for moderate sized groups. We felt - VIP- I know, lame but it doesn't take much to make us happy. So this is a go-to favorite neighborhood bar anytime we want to grab a beer :) Love you guys! read more

Trinity Pub - girls night starting off at Trinity! - Pubs Near Me - New York, New York

I really love this neighborhood bar. The bartenders are cool and make you feel welcome even if you've only popped in once or twice in the past year. Beer prices are good, they usually have something on special too. The crowd is really low key, and I love the casual dark wood look inside. Love it. I've never had a bad time here. read more

Service, service, service. Damien, Blake & Gavin. The bartenders here are great. I've never met a friendlier bunch. They always make it a point to remember your name. It definitely stands out from the other pubs on the UES and I like the crowd it attracts. I usually head over there on weeknights because it does tend to get a bit crowded during peak times. It's very tiny and dark, but it's just got a little makeover. I like the cozy little table in the back if you have a group. Hands down, my favorite UES bar. read more

Cute, tiny, cozy neighborhood pub with amazing service. We were on the block waiting for another bar to open and honestly we should have stayed here ...the service here - both bartenders - extremely friendly (I believe Barry was the super friendly guy) as were the locals who were at the bar. Vibe was chill and fun, like a place if you went a couple times they would know your name and you would get chummy with the customers at the bar and the bartenders I ordered and IPA and it was great. read more

Been here once, but haven't been back here since. With so many bars to try I keep forgetting and thankfully my jogging route takes me past this bar and reminds me I need to check it out again. It's a small bar yet the time I went (on a Friday night) it was not crowded to the point where you feel like sardines. The pub is tucked away on a side street, with friendly bartenders, and good flowing beer. Reasons for going back:good bar and definitely worth checking out again Reasons for not: it's not in my five and i keep forgetting to check this place out again read more

Great little neighborhood bar. Most people who come here are regulars and live in the area. The bartenders will quickly learn your name, will remember your previous visits, and are as sweet as they come. Always a great time! Oh yeah -- sorry for the terrible singing. I bet you didn't expect that Verve Pipe's Freshmen could be sung with THAT much gusto. ;-) read more

Trinity is certainly better than the ever multiplying fake Irish frat bars in the Upper East Side, but that's not really a glowing recommendation. My husband and I have lived across the street from it for a year, and we've been there about 5 times. It tends to be really hit or miss - nice because it's so small, but the daft Irish bartenders tend to be blasting the music way too loud so it's just full of people shouting at each other. Kind of like a fake Irish frat bar. Once in a while, you'll get a quiet afternoon and a good bartender, and then you wonder why you never come here, but the next visit usually reminds you. The drinks are pretty averagely priced for NYC standards (i.e. high) and they never have any specials. Worst of all, they have one of those internet juke boxes.....evil of all evils! read more

Incredibly friendly bartenders, standard beer selection (with the not so standard Delirium Tremens), and cozy, laid back decor all make for a good place to grab a post-work or pre-movie drink. It's definitely not like the other bars on UES, though I wish the wine selection were a little better. I don't want to complain too much though, because overall the place is great - a good "go to" bar. read more

Great local pub with friendly neighborhood clientele! And for those beer fans, they have the best pint of Guinness in Manhattan. Gavon (Scottish) and Blake (Irish), the bartenders, made some wonderfully stiff drinks and the jukebox played great music all night. They organize fun trips (Ski, Golf, Raft...) for the regulars every so often, so get over there and start drinking! read more

Great dive bar! Small, intimate, cozy and personal. This is everything a dive bar SHOULD be and it's gratifying to see some remnants of traditional NYC here: the locally-owned, locally-inhabited pub that doesn't cater to trends or fads-- this place just IS. Stand-out features include the music - played at the right volume and featuring a solid mix of indie rock / alt from the past decade, the beer list was solid with some really spectacular and unique draft choices that impressed me. Prices were right on point for the bar & location - and the people in the bar itself were friendly and chill. I will definitely come back again soon and might opt in as a guest bartender on a near future Thursday - would be great to host a party there! read more

By far my favorite pub on the UES. It is a great escape from Dorrian's and Tin Lizzie (gag me). The place is set back on a side street and is tiny and dark inside. I love the little candles they have lit and the light bulbs hanging from the ceiling - sets a great mood and makes me enjoy my Magners Cider even more. Bar tenders are extremely friendly and the music is always great and never cheesy. Having spent a semester living in Ireland - this is a true irish pub where everyone feels at home and people actual talk to you. Luckily - I have never been when it is too crowded and I hope that continues to be the case. Amen for Trinity! read more
