A step up from midtown mediocrity

by frankboyle

Used to come here a lot when I worked in the area, and recently popped in when in midtown. Place hasn't changed a great deal, decent food, pleasant staff, a little different at weekends, more tourists than office folk, but worth a visit;)

A panelled spot close to Grand Central....

I am a semi-regular to Maggie's. It is a much nicer atmosphere than mediocre Connolly's across the street. Needless-to-say, it is very busy 5 up until 7:30 pm; the commuter crowd empties thereafter. The bartenders and wait staff are swift and the Managers are very competent. This is a regulars kind of place. The upstairs offers more space for dining as opposed to the drink-centric downstairs. The most disappointing aspect of the place is the food. Except for the occasional bar specials and the amazing potato chips that come in a basket, I have yet to have any thing really good here. Also, ever for regulars, the bar staff are not very giving with buy-backs. I guess they figure that the crowd is filled with millionaire JP Morgan executives(and any one else who has survived the Bear Stearns fallout).

• Pros: Swift service, caters to regulars
• Cons: Adequate pub food & too much noise at times

Maggie's couldn't be any better!

We just had our wedding reception for 30 people at Maggie's on 4/15, and we and our guests can't say enough good things about Maggie's. Firstly, Victoria the manager was amazing, so professional and did not leave any of our important details to chance. The food at Maggie's is top notch!!! High quality, beautifully presented and excellent service. Whether you're looking for a place for dinner or a party, we HIGHLY recommend Maggie's Place!!!

• Pros: Great food, Great service, Excellent value

What good food

by bellabellaanna

We tried Maggies for the first time last week. 4 women-4 different tastes. Our lovely waitress (from Kildare) told us that they had just updated all their food and wine menus. We had a Seafood Cioppino, some little mini burgers from their munchie menu, a penne with grilled chicken arugula goat cheese and toasted pine nuts,and a scottish salmon dish. We had 2 beers and 2 of their new wines...WITH tip it was was only $100 bucks!!!! I can honestly say that Maggies will definately be visited again. There was a great crowd at the bar too.

• Pros: very friendly waitres, nice dining room, good vibe
• Cons: stairs

Maggies keeps getting better

by chrisowen

Every time I come to this great little mid town gem, it just gets better. They`ve just added new flat screens and speaker systems so it`s awsome to watch the game. They`ve done huge renovations in the bar area creating so much more space for us to go after work for a pint. The barstaff are always friendly and aren`t shy with the buy backs. Always offering new/seasonal beers too. Lots of choice for someone who loves a great beer with fantastic service. I definately recommend this bar!!!

• Pros: Great beers, friendly service, buy backs
• Cons: small bathroom
