Not what it used to be
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

This place used to be a gem, now it's just another overpriced Manhattan pub without any charm. In its heyday, I never minded paying the cover charge because the bands were good and the pints reasonably priced. But after my last visit, none of this rings true. A 5 dollar cover 3 hours before the band goes on and 7 dollar pints will have you bankrupt even before the band shows up. Also, on my last visit I noticed there wasn't a lot of people there which means other people feel the same way I do. The place used to get packed and was always fun. There wasn't even one person in the back room. I am sad to say that I will never return to Paddy Reilly's, but I will keep the good memories of how the place used to be.

Pros: Good Guiness

Cons: High Prices

Insider Tips

Know Before You Go

If you want to use the dartboard in the back room, you'll have to bring your own darts. Of course, since it's free to hold parties in the spacious back room, the area is often occupied. You can still enjoy the music, but the darts are off-limits while the party's on.
