I met a friend here for a quick drink. I got the pear cider and it was yummy- a little sweet but not that sweet. It's dark inside and there were a lot of people around 6 pm. I'd come again! read more

All bars were starting to get packed, doorman lets some people in + my girl in (she was 3 feet ahead and not next to me) then tells me the line is to the left. I walk down to look for the line in a crowd of people and there is none. Go back and they letting random guys in rapidly (they were not a group). I go to go in and 2nd door guy next to first tells me $20 to get in. I tell him you guys just let in mad people in for free. "Don't worry about them, worry about you". Wasn't drunk, had only a tallboy on the way. Wasn't dressed dirty - forces, jeans, jacket. So idk ‍ read more

130+ year old building - beautiful & amazing. Maybe older? This structure has been around since Gangs of NY, if not b4 hand. Beautifully restored with beautiful, irregularly shaped wrap-around bar. Great food - upscale British pub style, & great tap selection, including fresh & cold German pils. Apparently, @ night, they turn into banker bro douche HQ, w/ the bleach blond bimbos who love them. & weekends are annoying tourist mania. But weekday lunches are magical, & quiet enough to hear the ghosts. My new fav pub in Manhattan - bar none. PS - NGL - I don't always want pub food. But their multiple salads & tomato soup are awesome. Very clean, & courteous & attentive staff. read more

Ulysses - this place rocks (at lunch only - late night, is a finance bro nightmare !) - Pubs Near Me - New York, New York

We came here after work to grab some drinks and food. I don't think there was a happy hour menu but the prices are very reasonable ($7 for an amstel light). I also got a turkey club with fries (lost of turkey but kind of dry). They have a bunch of picnic-like tables you can sit at. Good spot if you work close by! read more

3 stars for the vibe and ambiance outdoors. Food, eh. Cajun steak on baguette slices-no Cajun seasoning at all, it was weird. Fish sandwich-decent. Chicken sandwich, underwhelming. Staff were friendly, server was attentive. Tables in the street, cool to sit and hang. We left because a group of drinkers kind of overtook the tables. Won't go back but it seemed like a fun place for younger people. read more

Was trying to get in last night as a 23 year old with a valid Michigan id and was denied entry for a "fake id". Both bouncers called a valid ID a fake and I've been to this bar several times as I live in the area. Was very frustrating and disappointing will not be back unless this can be handled. read more

A fun spot in FiDi with great Lobster Monday deals -- we stopped in to get the Lobster, Baked Potato meal and it was quite the experience. It's a satisfying (but messy) experience to crack open your own lobster! I'd come back for lobster rolls. read more

Not sure where they are picking prices from these days. Macallan 12, not even at knuckle, single modest pour was $30 w tip. Crowd is 20ish and packed some nights. Typical for Stone St. Pass. read more

I can't believe I got dragged down to Stone Street for a party, but here I am. This spot is decently large, but it's packed, dark, and full of recent grads hitting on each other or whatever they do these days. Make TikTok videos. Who knows. The music is loud so hearing someone else talk is very difficult and I ended up getting tired to screaming so someone could hear me. Did I mention it's dark inside? Who decided to dark off the lights? read more

Fun pub, bartenders were attentive, steak toast was surprisingly good, highly recommend.

Their meals show you don't need to overpay for quality. The atmosphere seems carefully crafted. Staff members are consistently pleasant with no negativity. The meals reflect culinary training. I had a memorable evening at this place. read more

Lively live music on a Friday night playing the last two decades' top hits. 90% of patrons are transplants under 25. Limited drinks catalog. Quite a bit of space for a Manhattan bar, both inside and out. read more

Great food and service! The steak frites and chips are really good. Super cozy interior as well.

The entire concept works from beginning to end. The visual appeal was high, but so was the sodium content. Staff members went above and beyond with their kindness. Their layout makes dining comfortable. This spot stands out from the crowd. read more

You HAVE TO COME HERE ON MONDAY'S!! For $26, you get a whole 1 1/2 pound lobster, huge baked potato, corn on the cob and a draft beer! It was the BEST meal and least expensive in NY!! read more

i've been to the bar twice with my friend. First night was a Saturday and it was packed, I mean so packed. The atmosphere was finance bros. If you find a table it becomes tolerable, food and drink are quite over priced. But it is the best pint of Guinness I have had in NYC. The staff and the bartenders are so so so nice and welcoming, even when it's slammed. The off night we went was a Monday and tbh it was very chill and comfortable, staff was always attentive and friendly music was great, I'm looking forward to the live music they offer on some nights. We will be stopping by again in a few months for a follow up and video will be posted via TikTok and Insta read more

Visit Date: February 25, 2023 I came here with my friends to see Rubix Kube again because they are awesome. One of my friends and I do not drink alcohol but we had to ask multiple bartenders before we got one to honor the free drink it said we were supposed to have on the printed ticket. Our one friend that drank ended up with 3 amaretto shots. It got super crowded, expect this place to be extremely crowded on a Saturday night. If you want any chance at getting a seat get in early. My friends and I had to stake out a space at the bar and eat our food standing. When the show started we couldn't see anything until we managed to sneak to the front of the stage. So also be mindful you might want to try to get a spot in front of the stage area ahead of time as well. Besides being overcrowded this was a fun night at Ulysses' with good food and a great show! read more

Returned to an old haunt last night with friends and wished they still had the pretzels! The fries and drinks were great as always. We had to go inside due to the rain but I'd recommend not going to the live music side- it was insanely loud and impossible to hear each other. read more

This spot is pretty cool. Came in for an office holiday party. The restaurant was very hard to find because of the scaffolding. Once I finally find it and entered there isn't a host at the entrance so it is hard to tell who works there and ask for help when I was trying to locate the party. The food was ok, regular wings, veggies and burgers bit not very flavorful. Pretty cool to visit to grab a quick meal and drink, I guess. read more

This is a great place to just hang out and have a drink. It is spacious and the ambiance is cool. The bar in the middle and the decor is nice. The bartender was great and the cocktails were tasty. Will definitely come back here. read more

Went to the Stone St Oktoberfest. Ulysses disappointed me once again. A total rip off place. Sign said $17.00 for a liter of Spaten. They charged $21.00. Questioned it and was told + tax. Are the taxes higher for Ulysses than the rest of New York City? read more

Insanely overpriced, go to Dead Rabbit for a better drink at similar price, pouring a beer is not a skill

Came here with a few co-workers for an outdoor lunch, and overall Ulysses has decent food, delicious drinks, and all of the FiDi bro culture you could ever ask for. I ordered the mezze/hummus plate which had a perfect combination of dolmas, hummus, and veggies. I wanted to go the healthy route which is why I went with it, but their vegetarian options are lackluster in general. Next time I'd go for their veggie burger or grilled cheese. The drinks are delicious, and after one of my friend's found a fly in her drink, they immediately made her another one. As someone who isn't a fan of beer, the beer here is good (their IPA's aren't super hoppy and on the lighter end). read more

Lobster night is what this review is solely about which only occurs on Monday. A perfectly cooked lobster with delicious corn on the cob and a potato the size of a Baby bull dog and a great pint of beer for $25. The service was very friendly and attentive. A great old Irish bar that gives you incredible value on a Monday night. read more

Ulysses - Lobster - Pubs Near Me - New York, New York

Let me preface this by saying I've been here a couple of times over the years, but I have only gotten the Lobster Monday special, which is $25 lobster + beer/glass of wine. That does alone is AMAZING!! Lobster was very delicious and you could drench it in the butter they give you. My one qualm about this place is the service, or the lack thereof. The place seemed very understaffed - I don't know if that's the case on other days of the week, but at least the most recent Monday I went, I saw only 1 bartender for the first 10 minutes of being seated. I had to ask the bartender to get a server, and the server did not come out until a while later. However, they were pretty fast in serving our food, which was nice. read more

Well, first of all, I absolutely love this place! I always come here with my friends after work, and we feel right at home. The bartenders are super friendly, and sometimes there's live music. I haven't experienced the same live music twice, which keeps things fresh and exciting! What I really like is that there's no pressure to keep ordering drinks all the time. You can just hang out and order at your own pace. I adore this spot; it has really cool sections, and the bathrooms are always clean. The security can be a bit strict at times, but it's understandable since it's a nightlife spot. Overall, I just love coming here! read more

Had a horrible experience at this bar. My boyfriend asked the bartender for some water for me, and the bartender rudely yelled at him. When I politely asked why, the bartender responded with "What? What? What?" and then cussed at me. I've seen many reviews mentioning the same rude bartender, so I'm puzzled why this person is still employed. I have included a picture of the bartender in this review and have video footage of him being rude. I would never recommend this bar to anyone. read more

Ulysses - The rude bartender - Pubs Near Me - New York, New York

I've been here twice on weekend nights, and both times have been strange. Many many young girls who were clearly beyond wasted, guys who are looking to take these girls home. Bartenders should be cutting people off but this doesn't seem like the case. Dealt with an incident last night where a girl was barely able to stand and a guy was trying to kiss her and take her home. She wanted help so we intervened and got the guy "kicked out" only for him to come back in to try to get her to go with her again. Security did not care about this girl because "she's a regular and it happens often". She was either drugged or over served. Regardless, I hope she made it home okay and this whole experience left a horrible taste in my mouth. Too many men running this place who don't care what happens to these young girls. read more

Pub place in the heart of Wall Street! I'm liking the musky and dreary vibes, but modern restrooms! Grab a beer with bar bites! It's so divey - I'm lovin' the surroundings when I was here. Low key spot. It's a great tucked away bar from the energy and wrath of the bull market. read more

t me when I was paying my bill - even after being kicked out. He says the owner - Harry - does not allow laptops on the bar or any table in the restaurant at any time. Then he screamed, "Bitch!" as he walked away from me. The bar also did not have Teremana tequila or Don Julio reposado (which seems to me a staple). I will never come back to Ulysses ever again. Something is wrong with Simon. He definitely seems unstable and off-kilter. Please take my advice and never come here, as long as staff like Simon work here. He full on assaulted me. It was so bad that my friend got out her phone and videotaped it - with sound. I hope Harry reads this and responds. I have not known of Harry to promote such behavior. Food: 1/5 | Service: read more

We didn't order any food here this was just a stop on our pub crawl the last night we were in New York. We were there after midnight and were able to snag a bar table with quick service for the beers that we ordered. Not too loud and not too quiet, a really nice vibe and atmosphere. Shortly after we arrived the tables filled up but everybody waited patiently until seats opened to grab the tables that were available. We're definitely starting again my next trip and try the food. read more

I feel sorry for all the negative reviews- I empathize, and I can completely see all of those scenarios play out here. Let me put it this way: this is not "bring your family for a dinner" location. This is "my coworkers and I are stressed cause it's been crazy at work and we need to unwind" and/or "my friends and I were chilling at another bar but now it's 2am, the last bar is closing up and it's the financial district... where else can we go?" Then you'll have a good time read more

Review based on drinks only, no food!!!! Have been to this bar a few times now, as it is close to me in FiDi. Sit right at the bar every time, no long wait, music playing at a good volume, and pretty good service. I've received a few free drinks every time from the bartender, in addition to the drinks being reasonably priced. Bar is not "classy" or "clean" if that is what you're looking for. Just a typical run-of-the-mill Irish bar with lots of seating and your typical drink list. read more

Huge busy spot with tons of craft beers on draft and a fun atmosphere. We went here for happy hour and scored some prime spots at the bar. They happened to have a whiskey tasting booth open which was a nice bonus. The bartenders were attentive and friendly. Definitely a fun spot for a drink and some shenanigans. When it gets warmer they have an outside area on the closed off st where you can mingle with patrons of other bars...love it during his time. ENJOY! read more

The worst service you could ever get. Saturday early night, live music show for $10. I was enjoining just my second beer standing next to the bar when all of a sudden the Irish bartender closed my tap, dropped my credit car in front of me and just kicked me out of the busy bar. More over he called a security guy who pushed me outside through the back door. Have never got such mean service and attitude in general in my life, especially at the place I have been many times before. Without any reason! Looks like he even added the tips closing my tap, needles to say I would not had tipped him a penny. Just on principle I will disclaim this transaction. This guy must be fired immediately for his behavior and hospitality. read more
