I love this place. The food is delicious and the beverage selection is decent. But I especially love Kendrick, the resident astrologer. A few months ago I came in late one night with a large group of friends and he gave us all readings while we ordered drinks. Definitely not what you expect from your local Irish Pub! The atmosphere is generally welcoming and warm.

Cool Place/Awful Service

I have always walked by this place and have wanted to go for a while, but was tragically disappointed. The hostess was not only unpleasant and rude, but an absolute tyrant when it came to seating. Our group was forced to move several times and kicked out of an otherwise empty outdoor patio simply because we were not ordering food (at 10pm on a Monday night). Worst pub experience I've had in NYC (perhaps the world) without a doubt. Being bullied by the staff severely distracted me from an otherwise decent venue and beer selection.
