Amazing staff- great happy hour/ birthday spot

by LB3

Could not have had a better time for an after work bday/happy hour with co-workers and friends. Music just kept on getting better, little MJ rendition, hip hop, and a tribute to Swayze with a little dirty dancing :)

Our Irish server/ie best friend of the night, Cathal, was aaaaamzing!!!!! So friendly, kept the drinks coming, loooooved him- will def. keep coming back as long as he works there!

  • Pros: Where to begin, good dance music, private room, live dj
  • Cons: Keeps the booze flowing

You're not going to find anything better!!!

by mishmash83

My office was recently looking for a new spot to hold an annual event that we do at the beginning of every summer. I suggested The Galway Hooker-i've been there a couple times for happy hour and it always seems to have a great vibe-plus its huge and has a ton of different party rooms. I have to say that hands down, this was our best party yet! All my coworkers had such a blast and the service was flawless throughout. We will definitely be back for our Christmas party!

  • Pros: Private parties, happy hour, great brunch
  • Cons: Can't think of any...

Fun place

by irishred78

A very fun place! The crowd is a lot of fun. Sometimes it gets totally crowded, tho. More laidback in the back where you can play pool.

  • Pros: Good atmosphere
  • Cons: crowded at times

Happy hour!

by Micah608

We go here for Happy Hour as it is so conveniently located near our office. I gotta say thou, I like the place, kinda crowded (given we go around 6-8 pm), but good crowd.

Private Event Gem!

by stephanie99

Hosted a party in the back billiard room and it was awesome - great service, venue and food. All guests had a fabulous time! Non of the typical NYC hassles when it comes to reserving a room. We were able to get in early and decorate, length of event was not restricted and the price couldn't be beat. Great place!

  • Pros: Fun, great service, reasonable prices, unpretentious
3 Star Rating: Average

hitt and Miss

by TitaniumSpeaker

I agree with claire124. This place is a total hitt and miss. I've told myself I would never go there again but it's conveniently located.

The pool tables in the back are always reserved. The upstairs is always closed.

  • Pros: location. Two pool tables in the back, local music live in the summer
  • Cons: Small Tap selection, over corwded with college kids

Great Bar

by nigget

Enjoyed myself, i would highly recommend this bar to my friends and family. Great food, great time, even though it gets so busy i can hardly move, it was still comfortable. Our waitress was fantastic and made sure we were taken care of. To the security at the door who helped me and my friend get a cab. I am definately going back for yet another wonderful evening

Fun.. sometimes.. Others.. Not so Much

by claire124

I have had different experiences here.. I have had some times that are so fun, the kind where you are having so much fun you don't want to leave. I have also had times that are so NOT fun, that I swear I will never return. The throngs of college kids is the number one issue.
