Hartley's

The 14 Best Irish Pubs In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"Despite being the smallest pub on this list, there’s usually at least one large group at this Clinton Hill spot, tossing back Guinness like they were put on this earth to do so. Still, Hartley’s is fairly low-key—at the bar, dates share Guinness stew by candlelight, and at the counter in the front window, someone might be reading a book and eating a grilled cheese. Come here to relax somewhere other than your couch, and always order the popcorn. It’s a mountain of expertly salted kernels showered in finely grated Irish cheddar, and it tastes great between sips of pilsner on a weeknight." - bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, neha talreja, sonal shah
