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

Bad Manners

by MR199Q

I never write reviews but was so appalled by this restaurant that I have to. From the nasty waitress with an attitude to the 18% gratuity ruined what was supposed to be a nice evening out. I have been in the restaurant business and know proper etiquette and this restaurant needs a crash course. A waitress should not question the way I want a drink served and also should not have snide remarks to any questions that are asked regarding the menu. Then we get the bill which was well over $200 to see that an 18% gratuity was added! No where did it state on the menu that parties of 4 would be charged gratuity! Did she put it on because I was with 3 people who happened to have Irish accents?!?! Funny thing is though those people are far from tourists who hold American passports. I would never go back to this restaurant for their blatant disrespect to their customers. We would have complained there and then but it was our friends birthday and did not want her to feel anymore uncomfortable.

• Pros: Decent Food
• Cons: Waitress with an attitude & 18% gratuity

great bartender great guinness

by discerningpunter

I have been frequenting bars in midtown Manhattan for the last 10 years or so and am relatively unimpressed with the usual offerings in choice,service and value.Recently i happened to come across channel four bar in Rockefella center ,i was greeted by Greg the bartender who made me feel like i was a regular for years i ended up staying three hours being entertained by this interesting irish man. The Guinness poured correctly complete with shammrock on top was creamingly divine coupled with the mussels recommended by Greg was amazing.I spent a very enjoyable evening here in channel four and will be back soon to experience the 'craic' and Guinesss with Greg,i only have one complaint though the music was a little loud

• Pros: great bartender great guinness
• Cons: music little too loud

Good Choice Around Radio City - Great Bartender

by Mfumar

My wife and I were walking around before a show at Radio City on a Saturday night looking for a place to have a drink and maybe a light dinner. We were about to pass this place by when another guy came out and recommended it to us. We walked right in, they offered us a table right away, but we chose to just eat at the bar. Greg, the bartender, treated us like family. He pours a perfect Guiness and makes a great Cosmo. Our food came right away and it was delicious. My wife had the crabcake appetizer and I had a fish po' boy special. Nothing fancy, just good food and great service. Greg was entertaining and paid attention to us. We never had to flag down a waiter or put up with any "attitude." The prices seemed very reasonable to me. The appetizer, fish special, a bowl of soup, 3 Guinesses, and 2 cosmos came to about $75. We were in and out in no more than an hour. I would go back there again, I would take friends there, and I would recommend it to anyone in the area.

• Pros: Greg the bartender
