Best Irish pub in Midtown

by ElaineP3929

We are in Ny on holidays from Ireland and were walking past this cool little Irish pub, as we were walking past the front door the friendly Irish bartender was putting a menu board outside and we asked her for directions to the shops, within 10mins we decided to come in for a beer to have a rest and the Irish bartender, (I think she said her name was Pam), had introduced us to the local people in the bar, gave us all the tips we needed for shopping in NY all weekend, fed and watered us and we were back on our merry way shopping, for 2 minutes until we realized we didn't want to go shopping,we wanted to stay at Failte with Pam and the locals drinking a great pint of Guinness,So we went back there for the whole day instead of shopping!! this is what NYC is all about, everybody should go to Failte if they want to experience a true Irish bar with great Irish staff from Roscommon and hav great craic,we are definitely coming back on our next trip!

WONDERFUL Private Party!!

by Maf908285

This place was AMAZING. We had a private party here and I was so impressed with everything.

(1) The space on the 2nd floor is perfect - it has room for a band, couches, even a beer pong table

(2) The staff was just awesome - they were so helpful and accommodating. They made sure everyone had a great time.

(3) DJ - after our band finished the DJ was great and made the rest of the night.

I can't thank them enough for a wonderful party and can't wait to use them again!

My favorite bar in NYC

I have been going to Failte since I moved into the area six months ago and it has quickly become my favorite bar in NY. The crowd and bartenders are a lot of fun. The place has a great vibe and the best Guinness around.

• Pros: fun crowd, has a pool table, reasonably priced drinks, fireplace

Razor sharp piece of glass in my beer. Bartender was unbelievably rude about it.

by chriswu000

I almost died drinking here. I ordered a round of drinks here and when I took a sip I felt something in my mouth. When I took it out, it was a thin razor sharp inch and a half shard of glass. If I had swallowed, or gone in my mouth sideways, I would have been in serious trouble. When I took it to the bartender, he asked me where it came from. I said I didnt know, and he pointed to the glass (where it had apparently chipped off) and continued to look at me, like I had something to do with it. I just shrugged, not sure what he wanted from me. I'm the one that almost drank it. At that point I said I didn't think I should have to pay for the round ($20) and he said, "now you want a free round, for what?". I said, I could have died if I drank this shard of glass. He said, "are you kidding me?" I said, no, I'm not kidding, I could have died. He said, "f--- you, you could have died". At that point I asked for my card back, signed it with 0 tip. When I talked to AMEX today to dispute my charge, they said there was a $24 hold on the card. I'm still waiting to see if that is just a hold, or if the guy is actually going to give himself a $4 tip that I did not write in. I don't feel they are entitled to charge me for drinks I could have died from. I certainly don't think they should tell a customer to go f--- themselves. I've filed a complaint with the city about the glass.

• Pros: pool table
• Cons: razor sharp glass in beer. Bartender who thinks its not a big deal.
