What Guests Are Saying
This place is amazing! It’s a centrally located Irish pub. EASY access to all the trains. Easily the best Guinness draft pour on most trips to the city. The coolest thing is you use the QR code to order from any of a half dozen different restaurants and the food is delivered to you in the large, open bar. Look for Elizabeth. She’s efficient, helpful, creative and friendly. Wonderful venue, right next to the escalators to trains running in every direction. Give them a try! (It was clean, comfortable and friendly.)
We watched the Knicks game there last night Everything was great until I asked for the bill. The server gave me an iPad kind of devise to sign. I had given them my card already at the beginning. The screen showed only the 190.74 and the option to add 3% 7% and 10% tip which was kind of odd. I asked to see my check. The server went behind the bar and brought me this with 20% on it. I told him the 20% is fine he would have gotten this or more anyway But not telling me isn’t fine at all. It left bad aftertaste for the whole experience. My friend next to me paid his check he had no tip added I think my accent may have been a reason too. We’ve been there before the owner can check my CC and tipping history if they wish. Good luck
Great addition to Moynihan Station. Great beers, guys behind the taps are excellent. Place looks great. Well done!
