Chill Laid Back Irish Pub

by KeepinItRealNYC at Citysearch

I’ve been going to this bar for a few years now and besides all of the great beers on tap, I thoroughly enjoy the food. There is an AWESOME Lunch Special for $9 during the week that includes soup/salad and a select entrée. The salad is awesome because of the dressing and the Blackened Chicken Sandwich has become a favorite of mine. There is a Chipotle like Mayo on the sandwich that gives it a kick. The fries are always crispy and crunchy. There is also a deal for brunch on the weekends- $10/$12 for an entrée that includes choice of beer/bloody mary or mimosa. This place gets busy on Friday and Saturday nights but like any bar in NYC that goes without saying. Looking to try something different? Give this place a try.

  • Pros: Great Beer on Tap, Happy Hour, Lunch/Brunch Deals.
  • Cons: This place gets packed on the weekends.

Perfect place for a birthday

by brett03 at Citysearch

I celebrated my birthday here this past weekend. It was perfect for my friends and family who had attended. The bartenders were friendly as well as the management. They set aside a place for me and my friends to sit and enjoy drinks. We stayed out late and enjoyed every moment of the party. The place wasnt pretentious or to crowded. I highly recommend fiddlesticks for your next birthday celebration.

  • Pros: fun place and affordable drinks

Very different in the week from weekends....

by andysoccercrazy at Citysearch

As a resident of the W Village I have visited Fiddlesticks for the occasional late lunch during the week. It is a no frills place where i can catch up on football (Soccer to you i'm sure) and have a pint. I get to chat to an English bartender which makes me feel at home, and I enjoy decent food at a fair price, especially if I make the lunch special! The weekends are a totally different affair - hordes of kids come to dance and get drunk and who knows what else! not my thing but hey, I guess i'm getting old.
