A panelled spot close to Grand Central....

by blondbluey

I am a semi-regular to Maggie's. It is a much nicer atmosphere than mediocre Connolly's across the street. Needless-to-say, it is very busy 5 up until 7:30 pm; the commuter crowd empties thereafter. The bartenders and wait staff are swift and the Managers are very competent. This is a regulars kind of place. The upstairs offers more space for dining as opposed to the drink-centric downstairs. The most disappointing aspect of the place is the food. Except for the occasional bar specials and the amazing potato chips that come in a basket, I have yet to have any thing really good here. Also, ever for regulars, the bar staff are not very giving with buy-backs. I guess they figure that the crowd is filled with millionaire JP Morgan executives(and any one else who has survived the Bear Stearns fallout).

• Pros: Swift service, caters to regulars
• Cons: Adequate pub food & too much noise at times

Patrons at this Irish pub and grill wash down traditional regional cuisine, burgers and seafood with hearty pints of Guinness.

Maggie's couldn't be any better!

by theclowns

We just had our wedding reception for 30 people at Maggie's on 4/15, and we and our guests can't say enough good things about Maggie's. Firstly, Victoria the manager was amazing, so professional and did not leave any of our important details to chance. The food at Maggie's is top notch!!! High quality, beautifully presented and excellent service. Whether you're looking for a place for dinner or a party, we HIGHLY recommend Maggie's Place!!!

• Pros: Great food, Great service, Excellent value

What good food

by bellabellaanna

We tried Maggies for the first time last week. 4 women-4 different tastes. Our lovely waitress (from Kildare) told us that they had just updated all their food and wine menus. We had a Seafood Cioppino, some little mini burgers from their munchie menu, a penne with grilled chicken arugula goat cheese and toasted pine nuts,and a scottish salmon dish. We had 2 beers and 2 of their new wines...WITH tip it was was only $100 bucks!!!! I can honestly say that Maggies will definately be visited again. There was a great crowd at the bar too.

• Pros: very friendly waitres, nice dining room, good vibe
• Cons: stairs

Maggies keeps getting better

by chrisowen

Every time I come to this great little mid town gem, it just gets better. They`ve just added new flat screens and speaker systems so it`s awsome to watch the game. They`ve done huge renovations in the bar area creating so much more space for us to go after work for a pint. The barstaff are always friendly and aren`t shy with the buy backs. Always offering new/seasonal beers too. Lots of choice for someone who loves a great beer with fantastic service. I definately recommend this bar!!!

• Pros: Great beers, friendly service, buy backs
• Cons: small bathroom

Friendlier than my friends...

by acrandall

Without a doubt the best Irish pub I've been to. Great music, stellar Guinness, good beer selection, and great food pale in comparison to the outstanding bar staff. Friendly and efficient, they always have time enough to chat. Watch out for Torah's bar tricks and NEVER put money on them...

Usually plenty of space to move around, but rarely empty and always plenty of regulars to chat with; this place ranks amongst my favorite places in Manhattan.

• Pros: bar staff, beer selection, plenty of space

I hadn`t been to Maggies for a while since I relocated downtown. Most of the staff were new - but absolutely superb. The bartenders Tory and Nick were super-friendly, telling us stories of the "Old Country" and were very informed on their Irish single malt selection. This bar also hosts an impressive selection of beers. We had a tasty dinner on the outdoor balcony with great service from our hot waitress(in the hot uniform!!). Definately check this place out !! you won`t be disappointed.

• Pros: friendly, great bartenders, good food

One of the best

by mikethompson

Everything from the Guinness, to the food selection, and especially the service, is great about this little Emerald Isle gem in Midtown. This is the local bar we've all yearned for.

• Pros: Great bar staff, Good drink selection, Food selection
