The Scene – A sign reading "No jeans, no service" could hang above the brass-poled bar at this ultra casual spot for every Sean, Kevin and Patrick this side of the G train. Instead, however, there hangs a sculptural ode to the working man: one artist's rendering of the famous 1936 photo of construction workers eating lunch on a skyscraper's precarious crossbeam. Cheers to hard work and hard play. Everyone seems to know everyone else--betcha their families do, too. – – The Draw – The game du jour is broadcast on the big-screen TV in back, flanked by two coveted…

IRISH PUB
by alex hamilton
If you want to be treated in a hostile manner and be discriminated because of your Ethnicity, Irish Rover is the perfect place for you.
Despite visiting the place for over an year, the bartenders (who are here on a visitor's visa and are not allowed to work here) will charge you more money if you are not Irish.
There is a Happy Hour but I have never been given any discount despite leaving 75% tips.
A place where only Irish , from the right side , are welcome.
The atmosphere is downright hostile.
If I never visit the place again, it will be too soon!!

Friendly Bar, Good People.
by fanaticfantom
I've seen the Rover grow over time. Respectable gents run the place, they know how to handle a thirsty crowd, or just chill with the late-night barfly types. It's a down-to-earth feel, always welcoming you. I will echo that it's a great place for meeting people in NYC. Always a story to tell.

3rd drink always free. Warm bartenders. No attitude.
by clanwilliam
It's a great local bar, cheap as hell with friendly Irish bar tenders. The clientele reflect the diversity of Astoria. Last night my girlfriend and I talked to actors, a Billboard magazine columnist, a Brazilian dancer and lots of friendly Irish people. Why can't our American bars manufacture this charm? This pub is a gem.

A Great Bar
by bina5340
The Rover is my favorite Astoria Bar. The bartenders are friendly Irish guys that know how to pour a Guiness and always give you the third round for free. The jukebox has great music, the bathrooms are clean, and it's a great place to meet people. Every person that I've ever taken here becomes a regular. Best kept secret in Astoria.
- Pros: Great Service
- Cons: Crowded on weekends
