This place is an old favorite watering hole, a new name and slightly new look since Covid, but still the same great spot. It's a popular pre game spot with MSG being at the end of the block, and always a great after work cold beer paradise. Stop in and say hello to some of the finest bar tenders in NYC, always great tunes playing and the latest sports on the tube, you won't be disappointed!

Omg stumbled upon this Irish Pub walking around NYC. Daytime bartender was great I think his name was Michael. He treated us like we were local guests and come everyday. I love places and people that are all about creating an experience for their customers. Thank you for caring about your customers.

Great bar to visit before or after the game. Located right near MSG. At one point it was a Syracuse bar. Really cool atmosphere with a lot of choices for beverages. Definitely come check them out.

Best Shepherds Pie I have ever had. I was just not taken care of by my waiter but anyone that walked by.

Little quieter place for being so close to time square but that's also why we liked it so much. Drinks were great, bartender was awesome and super attentive. Couldn't recommend more.
