Newyears Eve

by megjoyce72

My girlfriends and I decided to make the trip into Times square for NewYears Eve this year ,but we stopped in channel 4 on our way there and guess what we never left !

First of all there was no cover charge and the food and cocktails were so good . But the best part of our night was the time shared with the sexy bartenders in their kilts these guys made my night and judging from the impression left on one or two of my girls,theirs also ! So thankyou boys and we will be back into see you real soon.

TOTALLY Awesome, so glad I was introduced to it!!

by RichardJohnson80

At first I didn't know what to expect when several friends took me to Channel 4 on my Birthday, but it was definitely an awesome experience. The waitresses were very prompt and friendly (cute too!), and we were FULLY taken care of -- I myself had a medium-rare steak, which was done to PERFECTION, and my friends had fish n' chips and shepherd's pie , and it was great. The dessert was heavenly - Irish mire cakes and banana cigarillos, yum :-). This is a VERY awesome place to eat and relax and have lots of fun, right in the heart of midtown. HHHHHIGHLY recommended!!!!

  • Pros: Great food, prompt service, very cool & exciting atmosphere
  • Cons: I wish this were a franchise!

Service was TRULY FANTASTIC!

by MeghanRainbow

The other night I attended the Tori Amos show at Radio city and needed a place close by to have a quick dinner with about 6 friends. We were looking for comfort and quality, I walked by this quaint Irish restaurant called Channel 4 ( probably appropriately named because NBC studios is across the street). We were seated in 2 minutes without a reservation and it was a comfortable booth. The filet mignon sliders were so darn good! There beer selection was broad and our waitress was adorable! We will most definitely revisit and I will now have a good recommendation for anyone who is going to a show at Radio city!

  • Pros: Clean, Attentive Service, Delicious Food. Great Location
