What People Are Saying About Lunasa
The Editor

In Short – It's a pub of a different color: That is, muted Pottery Barn hues inform the decor, evading the typical dark mahogany and shamrock green. Large street-side windows shed light on cozy tables as laid-back patrons snack on modern bar fare--spring rolls, grilled pizza and paninis. A backyard patio beckons those who enjoy the time-honored practice of smoking cigarettes with their Guinness, and an Irish compression system imported from the old country ensures perfect pints. – +

Lunasa is my favorite local bar....hands down!
by ptrk at Citysearch
I live in the East Village and Lunasa is by far my favorite local spot. Scott, the bartender, is the best around. The happy hour is unbelievable, the food is great (try the burger), and the rest of staff make it always worth coming in.
Don't get me wrong....there are many, many great spots in this neighborhood of great spots but when I want to feel welcome and enjoy myself I choose Lunasa. You can also bring a large group of friends as there are many large tables and a garden out back.
Probably should have kept this to myself since I don't want it to be too crowded but this place is definitely worth a visit.
- Pros: great staff, great customers, always fun
- Cons: the amazing happy hour means it can get crowded

Lunasa is the perfect local bar!
by chicalnyc at Citysearch
Lunasa became my local bar the day it opened more than 5 years ago and has continued to exceed my expectations everyday since. The staff are my favorite part. The atmosphere is great any night of the week. I can go to the bar for dinner after work, a night out with friends, to watch my favorite team play, and I love stopping by for one more drink before the end of the night!
I bring all of my out of town guests to Lunasa too because they make everyone feel welcome whether you are a regular or in for your first time!
You can't go wrong in a place where everyone knows your name and feels like family!
- Pros: The chilled draft beer and chicken caesar salad and Irish breakfast
- Cons: none!
