Top 10 Famous Irish Bars In New York City
Always assumed that Irish pubs were suitable only for St. Patrick’s Day celebrations? Well, think again. The Irish pubs, taverns, and restaurants found in New York City consistently offers the very best in hospitality and entertainment, including fine food and drink, unique decor, outstanding video and audio systems, live entertainment, plus a never ending abundance of good-time vibes.
Stout
Stout, the consummate classy tavern, boasts three unique and popular Manhattan locations — the flagship store, only steps away from Madison Square Garden; tucked deep in lower Manhattan’s Financial District; and their newest pub, near Grand Central Station. Each of these stellar establishments quickly fills to capacity during the after-work hours, and remain packed until well into the night. The FiDi location features a cobblestone floor and industrial-inspired accents, while its Grand Central counterpart adds touches of tasteful elegance. The original Stout boasts 40 HDTVs and the capacity to host parties of up to 300 guests.

Patrons entering the world of Tír na nÓg can expect to leave behind the bustle and blare of 39th Street as they pass through a set of 100-year-old, carved oak Victorian double doors, salvaged from an ancient parish church. It’s like entering an old-time Irish hamlet, complete with antique woodwork and stained glass, authentic regional memorabilia, and a recreated primitive cooking pit. Every corner and cranny of this gorgeous pub represents some bygone aspect of Ireland’s village heritage. The ambiance is underscored by Tír na nÓg’s famous warmth and cordiality.

The granddaddy of all Irish pubs, McSorley’s claims title to being New York City’s oldest continuously operated tavern. Other than finally allowing and serving female patrons in 1970, the pub has remained virtually unchanged for more than 160 years. From the sawdust-littered floor, to the memorabilia cluttering its walls (including such priceless paraphernalia as Houdini’s handcuffs), to the saloon’s signature McSorley’s Cream Stock Ale on tap, there is no escaping the aura of Olde New York that permeates this storied establishment.
