The Scene – There's nothing too unusual about this corner pub--and that's precisely why it stands out among its posturing neighbors. Terrazzo floors and a tin ceiling frame the long oak bar, behind which a no-nonsense bartending vet pulls pints (including McManus Ale). Simple pub fare dominates the menu in the ambience-free back dining room. – – The Draw – You may remember that Edward Norton threw a few back here as a priest in the movie "Keeping the Faith." And while you may not spot any men of the cloth, McManus' patrons do show up religiously: You'll find old guys,…

A place for REAL people

by gypsyangel

This is what real bars look like. bars with history and mystique...bars with loyal patrons and newcomers who enjoy savoring a decent beear or whiskey or classic mixed drink at an Irish pub that has been in the family for generations.

One of the last ungentrified sanctuaries for atmosphere that hasn't been polluted by plutocrats on Manhattan Island.

and ps if they like you you can have your Guiness

  • Pros: The actual bar itself is a work of art
  • Cons: None-unless you are a plastic person

Best Irish Bar In NYC

by nycdude9

great place with friendly staff. make you feel like your welcome and at home when you walk in. The place is really cool and old fashioned - the bar and the whole place is straight out of an other era. Its a mixed crowed- college guys and girls, business men, native new yorkers, local drunks, everyone has a great time. Good food too. A NY landmark. Long live Peter McManus!!!

  • Pros: prices, atmosphere, old time feelling, staff
  • Cons: none

A sleazy dive without an ounce of charm

by lifelongnewyorker

This place might be worth checking out just as an example of everything you shouldn't do. The beer is definitely watered down, and the taplines have never been cleaned. I tried three kinds of beer; they all tasted skunked. (and what kind of Irish Bar doesn't carry Guiness?) The waitress was truly wretched: a rude, incomeptent skank. She brought the wrong dishes and then totally blamed the customers for her own incompetence. She cursed at one of the guys at the table. Barman was so rude, I was honestly looking for an Englishman afterwards to shake his hand and urge them to give the Irish another thousand years of troubles.

  • Pros: At some point it will fall down
  • Cons: It hasn't fallen down yet
