What People Are Saying About Full Shilling

Featured Review

Contributor

With its 105-year-old interior bar shipped directly from a pub in Belfast, the Full Shilling offers Old-World ambience to the modern Wall Street crowd. Packing this place at lunch and after work on weekdays, young yuppie-types gather round the tavern's single TV. Patrons plow through the pub's hearty menu of beer-battered fish-and-chips with tartar sauce, bangers and mash, and shepherd's pie, but have a hard time choosing between 17 draft beers.

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
Call ahead to reserve the "snug," a private room at the end of the bar with a hatch for service. It guarantees some quiet time with your significant other.
When to Go:
While the bar remains open until midnight on weekdays, the kitchen closes at 9pm.
When to Go:
While the bar remains open until midnight on weekdays, the kitchen closes at 10pm.

menu variety
100.0% positive
  1. At 9:00 exactly we asked to order dinner and the bartender said the kitchen closed at 9:00 - after he saw us looking at menus for about 10 minutes and didn't bother to take our order.
  2. But on top of that, they have an excellent kitchen turning out a selection of well-handled "traditional fare" plus a wider choice of varied entries, all of which are stand head and shoulders above the usual standard.

Great pub with great food

by changmino200

This is a true downtown after work spot that qualifies as a neighborhood joint too. There is just the right mix of good beer, good crowd, and good food. The bar and the bartenders are great. I can even have a nice glass of wine with a great pasta for dinner if I want to sit down. While it's not the average pub, it does seems to have quite a few regulars. Stop in. You won't be sorry.

  • Pros: Big bar and nice crowd
  • Cons: Mellow restaurant area

Cozy Pub - Glad We Found It!

by Martrese

My husband & I recently moved to Battery Park City and happily stumbled upon The Full Shilling while exploring downtown. We'll gladly make the 10 minute walk from home for the cozy atmosphere, excellent pub food and my husband's favorite beer on tap. If only they were open on weekends!

  • Pros: Delicious pub food, warm atmosphere, excellent beer menu
  • Cons: Closed on weekends, not closer to home ;)

Shockingly Rude on Multiple Occasions

by juliet_of_the_spirits

I recently moved to the neighborhood and hoped to find a good local pub. AVOID the Full Shilling! The first time I went, though the bar was mostly empty, we waited for several minutes to get noticed. When the bartender finally stopped chatting with her friends, she strutted past us to take the order of people who had come in several minutes after us. Oh well, I said. Made the HUGE mistake of going back the next week because everything else was closed. At 9:00 exactly we asked to order dinner and the bartender said the kitchen closed at 9:00 - after he saw us looking at menus for about 10 minutes and didn't bother to take our order. Jerk. Then he had the nerve to pick a fight with us over the time. Major attitude. This place should be shut down. Get out of our neighborhood.

  • Pros: empty, okay burger
  • Cons: ATTITUDE, bad service, faux "old"

Not just a pub, but better-than-pub food

by serinde

I end up here fairly often as it's right around the corner from my beloved's office. And if it were just a pleasant, friendly, spacious pub with a good beer selection, that would be enough. But on top of that, they have an excellent kitchen turning out a selection of well-handled "traditional fare" plus a wider choice of varied entries, all of which are stand head and shoulders above the usual standard.

Caveat: we don't suffer an after-work crowding problem, as we're usually there to eat as well, and the dining room is usually sparsely populated right then. If you just drop in for a drink at that time, though, prepare to call yourself Mister Sardine.

  • Pros: excellent food, good beer selection, friendly service
  • Cons: crowded bar
