What People Are Saying About Tir Na Nog

Featured Review

Contributor

Contributor

Tir Na Nog takes its name from the Gaelic phrase meaning "land of eternal youth," and though its crowd is decidedly middle-aged (dark-suited business types, sports fans and Irish locals), there's a sense of youthful exuberance. With antique woodwork, wood and stone floors, stained glass, chandeliers, vintage photos and bric-a-brac, the pub setting feels homey and welcoming. The menu includes foie gras-chicken liver terrine and Irish oak-smoked salmon.

The best restaurant near Madison Square Garden

by CalField at Citysearch

The hospitality at Tir na nog is legendary; like any great Irish pub, they know how to make you feel welcome. The food is terrific; it has the best Shepherd's Pie I've ever had, the meats are terrific, and the Salmon is always perfect. I'm also quite pleased they've added a line of craft beers to the traditional Irish choices; Smuttynose is my new favorite. It's a great place to go with a group on Saturday night or for Sunday brunch.

Fun Irish Pub

by gripdxd at Citysearch

I was here the day after Thanksgiving and had a blast. There were (3) irish ladies singing and they were great. The lady bartender took good care of us & hooked us up. It wasn't too packed and their was a great mixed crowd. I also visited a 2nd time not too long after and enjoyed myself again, but not as much as the first. That's because they had different performers, but regardless it was all good. I will say that the seating areas where people eat in the bar area were pretty dirty, nobody was cleaning up, ick.

  • Pros: Live music, bartenders and choices on tap
  • Cons: bar eating areas can be dirty.

Yumm-A!

by rrrucker21 at Citysearch

Once again, I picked the best meal, the boneless lamb w/ bak choy! DE-LISH! :-) Also had the soup de jour (clam chowder), creamy but not overly rich, just right with no sandy clams (yuck to sandy clams)! :-) Great prices in my opinion.

Hubby had the raw oysters (he said they were ok) and he had the shep's pie (edible).

I would recommend reservations, it was packed for a Friday night and even though we were about 15 mins early, we were promptly seated by the most gracious host. I wish I knew his name, as he put us at ease instantly. :-) Waitress was just ok. She was more interested in talking to her regulars then checking in on us and making sure our plates were cleared in a timely fashion.

Look like it would be a great bar to go to after work and catch a game or tv news.

Overall, scale of 1-10, I gave it a 7. Enjoy!

  • Pros: Decor is beautiful, good food for the price!
  • Cons: Waiting staff could be better
