Parlour Restaurant

The Scene – With its exposed brick walls, multiple televisions and ultra-dim lighting, the Parlour is just like every other Irish pub on the Upper West Side save for one thing, its spaciousness. The beer joint, which boasts two bars, a downstairs dance floor, and a separate dining room, is a welcome respite for city folk accustomed to overstuffed spaces--this is the rare bar where you can breathe. – – The Draw – Twenty-something preppie types come here to chow down on typical Irish fare, such as shepherd's pie and homemade beef stew, before heading off to the dance…

awesome Upper West Side restaurant / bar

by U2FanU2

My husband and i have lived on the Upper West Side for about a year and just now discovered its best kept secret--The Parlour!! It is located off of Brooadway on 86th Street (the SW side) and boy are we glad we stopped in to grab a bite to eat!! First of all, I am a HUGE U2 fan, and all the waiters/waitresses were Irish and I got to tell them my story of meeting Bono, which always makes a delightful experience for me! Aside from that, though, the service was incredible--the entire staff was super friendly and accommodating. The food was also delicious. I had a chopped sirloin burger w fries and my husband had the shepherds pie--both delicious!! For dessert, we split an apple pie a la mode (but I ate most of it--lol) because my husband was enjoying his Samuel Adams!!! Definitely come by the Parlour and enjoy this totally Irish bar!!

Pros: super staff--great food

Fantastic Pub!!

by nam1125

I have nothing but GREAT Things to say about my experience at The Parlour!! My girlfriends and I went to grab a couple drinks and karaoke a few Friday nights ago and we had an absolute blast!! We started dinking mixed drinks, which were reasonably priced for NYC standards, and after about 3 drinks, we startred karaoking---well, my goodness---we literally spent the rest of our night at The Parlour and never even made it to the other places we had planned to go!! I mean, why leave when we were having such a great time!! We even ended up getting the munchiies after all the drinking and singing and ordered some great bar food--exactly what we needed!! The food was delicious--right in line with the rest of the evening. We already have plans to go back in a few weeks!! Oh yea---did I mention that many of the waiters had the most amazing Irish accents--and were cute, too!! What more can a bunch of girls ask for.....!!!

Pros: waiters/waitresses, karaoke, super fun!!
Cons: nothing

Even SEVEN Eleven is better

by ron21

It's a "warm" place (I mean the beer is warm), the fries are cold,

but the english waiter is a case...someone needs to calm this

guy down...he gets upset every time you ask something and role his eyes

on you....

You wouldn't see me there in the next 15-60 years....

Ohhh,

all of a sudden Duane Reade looks like heaven Haaaa?

Pros: Upper west side
Cons: the rest

Went with friends and even some parents around and had a great karoake and beer night! Highly recommended to go for a fun night dressed up, dressed down and sing the night away (bad voices welcome) in an unprententious bar!
