Cronin and Phelan's

High expectations, but not impressed with this visit. Wednesday early dinner , 7/23/25, 5pm. No issue with availability and service, very attentive. Chicken dish with sauce ok, but asparagus flimsy and green bean sized while mashed potatoes served ice cream scoop and lacking in flavor. Long awaited favorite of mine, fish and chips. Fish better than most in area, still lacking in wow factor while the (chips) were a flimsy mess , no crisp or seasoning. As to beer, Stella was fine but Blue Moon dark and flat. Better luck next time.

Very very good food! Our first time here after having heard about it for forever. Good wings, but my partner's shepherd's pie (although made with beef) was the winner, perfectly spiced and delicious. My Jameson chicken was very good as well. Enormous portions and we each brought a large amount home. Best soda bread I've had outside Ireland. Very friendly attentive service. It was a little hard to hear due to all the hard reflective surfaces and music playing and cheerful people talking, but this was a great place. We'll be back, and are especially interested in the Sunday roast. Update: back for shepherd's pie and a salad - splitting everything bc the portions were huge. Great food and friendly service.

This place is packed with the loudest of the neighborhood locals. I've been coming here for years. You want a wholesome meal at a reasonable price, friendly service and a knowledgeable staff? Cronin's is your place! Bring that friend that talks too much won't be able to hear where they say and you'll be able to enjoy your food. Among my favorites are : fish and chips, bangers and mash (No that's not the name of a 1980s Irish punk band, actually maybe it is ...I don't really know but it's a dish ...it's delicious little Irish sausages with fresh mashed potatoes) shepherd's pie (delightful)and my favorite side is yellow turnips!! This is the place you're going to get authentic food properly cooked served to you by someone who probably has a lilt in their voice as well as their step. Can get a bit loud ...The game's going to be on the big screen TVs! You're going to have everybody -from the book club to young families to " buddies watching the game" to Mom's meeting up for a cocktail or 2.... everybody's here nobody knows your name… nobody cares what your name is... just order politely, respectfully, ...and don't forget there's a back room if you need privacy and you don't need to be in the middle of the beehive. Me? I like the buzz of the hive but not at the bar...Same owner for decades ..same wholesome food for decades and if you like strong iced coffee this is the place to go. Don't fill up on the bread basket but snatch that raisin scone (The owner makes himself with his mother's recipe) and stick it in your pocket for tomorrow's breakfast ...slather on some butter ...pour some Java and you're in heaven, baby!

I’ve had not been here for one year and it only gets better with time. I love the food service ambiance and music. I visited with family and friends Sat 1/4 and Sun 1/5. Lydia our server was excellent!!! And Mike the owner is a beautiful human being. Thank you for Making our visit a happy and enjoyable one. Until next time 👍

The Osso Boco,Chile,Roast turkey and Scrod were excellent choices 😋 The pulled pork sandwiches were burnt and not really pulled pork anymore,we love the gaining booths were private and cozy.we love coming here,my wife likes the shephards pie and chicken pot pie.we will come back forever and we hope you will also.

One of the best Irish dinners in Astoria. I love their breakfast brunch. Food is amazing and you can watch sports at the bar! Nothing gets better!

Came here tonite for a private Celebrity Dinner in the party room I’ve been here many times before for different parties First time I am doing a review tho The party room in the back is very large and roomy - I never feel like I’m closed in when I come here On the menu we had a salad or soup first - I ordered the salad which was great I had a glass or red wine and also a glass of coke The waitresses here are very friendly , quick and efficient - no waiting a long time at all My main course I orders the Turkey with mashed potatoes , gravy and broccoli The food came hot and super sized portions I had a pile of sliced turkey on my plate that could feed 3 people nicely The mashed potatoes were great and so was the broccoli Later we were served coffee and plates of dessert which I chose the chocolate lava cake which was delicious Had a great time here as usual - this place is Awesome and the atmosphere is just the same - Awesome Thank you Cronin & Phelan for a super fun night !!❤️❤️

This place is amazing, best Irish food I’ve had in NYC and the portions are huge. The owner and staff are great. Love coming here once a week!!

How did I leave my last review 14 years ago? And I question my rating process with only 4 stars . Thank goodness Cronins survived Covid. They are still sending out the same amazing classics and have added great specials over the years. The French onion soup is still the most amazing concoction on earth and Cronins could only make it better if they offered it via IV. My mom and I love to share either the turkey or roast beef dinner platters with two soups and still end up with leftovers. The side of turnips is a comfort meal in itself. Potato leek is close second to the french onion. The staff makes the place that much better. The entire place is definitely invested in their patrons and community.. Portions are great and the price is amazing

My wife and I had another great late afternoon/early evening date meal here. We both ordered from the expansive Friday specials menu. We shared a large house salad, which was good. She got chicken cordon bleu with mashed potatoes and mashed turnips. I got the fried fish sandwich with cheese and a side of onion rings. We were both very satisfied with our meals. We each got a pint of beer. Our waitress was very attentive. They give you so much we could only eat half of the food and took the rest to go. There was a nice mix of age groups there between 5:00 PM and 6:30 PM. They have over a dozen TVs, most showing sports.

Great Irish restaurant that's decent quality and I think they've got the best wings in town if you order them well done. Overall great place and vibe.

Hi - potato's were hot & fresh Food okay But on a 98* F temperature- the restaurant had no air conditioning. Just fans circulating HOT AIR PAYING TO SWEAT DURING A MEAL IS A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE The customers weren't worth the cost of the air conditioner I will never go back again. My friend was embarrassed taking me there. We used the napkin to dry the sweat pouring off our faces

Food is fantastic,huge portions, everything is excellent a very welcoming and comfortable place.And forgot to mention best burgers and fries .

True Score: 4.5 Star Bar The bar that changed my perspective about Astoria. What cool comfortable place with some outstanding food. You wouldn't think going into a simple Irish pub, but this place is pumping out some top notch items. Obviously being a true Irish pub you get some thick accents and people that like to drink and have a good time. It's pretty awesome actually, and the staff and patrons made us feel like we've been going in for decades. Fish and Chips, Shepherds Pie, Corned Beef Sandwich, all delicious. We ended spending 5 hours at this place, the people were so nice and wanted to have a great time. What an Irish a pub or any bar/tavern should be. Tip: The absolute greatest potato salad on the planet, I am not kidding. Just order it!!! Love this spot, thanks

Amazing food and great vibes. The Shepards pie is insanely delicious and can be shared or taken home for leftovers because the helping is so large! Service is always friendly and welcoming as well :)

Got fish and chips and the sampler appetizer. Everything was delicious. They even gave me vinegar for the fish as I didn't have any at home. This is my new spot for Irish fare!

Had come here once before on a Friday night, but their limited outdoor seating was quickly taken up. Second time around, showed up later Thursday night to try some bar food inside. Surprisingly large menu for what seemed like a regular Irish bar. Quickly decided on the Irish Toasty ($12) to go along with a Guinness ($7?). Fantastic pour in the beer, sipping on while enjoying the plethora of TVs showing all the sports available. Sandwich comes out shortly after - a cheese/bacon/onion/tomato offering between toasted white bread. Good balance of flavor, especially with the loaded cheese; served alongside a pile of crispy fries and a pickle. Could have used some more salt, but the bacon in the sandwich helps. Service started off slow, then picked up as the night went along. Fine spot for some specials or a few beers when watching a game.

Nice local spot. Affordable food and drinks. French onion soup will knock your socks off

I enjoy coming to this neighborhood bar. Bartenders Peter and Dave are very attentive and have conversations with you. It is not loud so you can have conversations with friends.

Standard no-frills Irish bar and restaurant in Astoria. It's been here forever and hopefully it will remain a staple in the neighborhood. We decided to stop in here on one of the last days before indoor dining shut down (again) in NYC. We enjoyed some cocktails while sharing a shepherd's pie and chatted with the very nice wait staff. The cocktails are likely not their big sell here (vodka sodas were just OK, nothing too elaborate) -- most people opt for domestic beer or Guinness when dining here. The Irish dishes are what you really come here for and the shepherd's pie did not disappoint. It was so large, we took some of it home! It was a great way to support a neighborhood place before they had to rely solely on outdoor dining in the winter.

Ordered take out for St Patrick's day - corn beef and cabbage (of course). It was delicous. Ordering was quick and easy. Food was ready when I arrived, quickly paid and was able to run back out to my car without parking. Bar seemed nice and cozy.

Shepherd's pie, shepherd's pie, shepherd's pie. You'll never have better than Cronin and Phelan's. And the staff truly make you feel like family. My go-to place for watching Sunday football.

If one asked me where the best Irish pubs were, I'd tell em to take their pick of the ones in Sunnyside and Woodside. Cronin & Phelan's is among several pubs that is making Astoria look really good as a destination for all things Irish, but are they best in the hood? More than likely, yes. The bar is modest but the selection is vast. They have a number of solid beers on tap and a pretty good selection of spirits to boot. The bartenders are all lovely people and coupled with the TVs with sports and the occasional live music, it's hard not to have a good time here. Their usual cast of characters (i.e. the regulars!) can make for good conversation and if one is really good, they might get a drink out of it. Where they really shine is their food. Sure the allure of Irish whiskey and beers are laden at the bar but the quality of their edible offerings far surpass the average pub fare. The shepherd's pie is quite tasty, as is their bangers and mash. I've never been a huge fan of Irish breakfast platters, but their blood pudding is worthy of every bite. Then they have a number of other items, ranging from bar food to Italian classics like a veal marsala and fried ravioli. The burgers are halfway decent, even French onion soup deserves a mention. Every time I eat their loaded potato skins, I question my judgement because I can eat a lot more than the 3 that come in one order. Also, what kind of an Irish pub offers dessert like apple pie a la mode, strawberry rhubarb pie, or a triple chocolate mousse cake? Cronin & Phelan's does. In addition, they have multiple flavors of ice cream and "Mexican" platter of sweet plantains, churros, and more ice cream. This place is a kind of venue worth visiting for just about any occasion. Watch sports, eat dinner, drink too much, sing a little karaoke, have a laugh with the crowd, listen to music, night out with friends, etc. The bottom line is there are plenty of reasons to include C&P for any kind of future fun.

Excellent food! Shepherd's pie is delicious and the scones are the best I've ever had. Service is great and everyone is friendly. Best Irish Pub I've been in and that includes the pubs in Ireland.

The fish and chips are legit. Crispy and tasty. The onion soup was warm and delicious perfect for winter night. Friendly staff. Attentive service Recommend !

I have been her twice now in the last two years, not sure why I haven't come here more often, as I live so close. My friend Krista knows the owners. I came here for birthday parties. They have a party room in the back of the bar/restaurant. This place is awesome. The people here are friendly and personable. The food is great. The Sheppards Pie is awesome. I was just here this past Sunday for Krista's 40th Birthday Party. The waitstaff are great, they come around quickly to make sure everyone has drinks. The food was hot. We had Penne A La Vodka, Baked Ziti, Chicken Cutlet, Sheppards Pie, Salad, Potato Salad which was awesome. There was so much food which was served buffet style. Buffet Style is great, as you can take what you want. Love this place!!!

This review is strictly for ordering take out. I came in a few days ago when I had a craving for some cozy bar food. I've passed by Cronin & Phelan's many times on my way home but finally decided to stop in. I ordered the Mac and Cheese and a side of fries. The first thing I was blown away by were the prices. They were very decent considering the area! And the portions are very generous. In addition to that, the food came out relatively quickly. The bartender that I ordered from was very pleasant and friendly. I really wanna come back for the full bar experience (food and drinks) sometime soon. The Mac and Cheese was delicious. It was still very hot when I got home and had the comforting ooey gooeyness to it. The fries were good too. They had an option to add on Irish Curry Sauce which I stupidly passed up but will try next time. I can't wait to come back soon!

St Patrick's Day and This place, the oldest Irish pub in Astoria NY: a perfect marriage. Had the bangers and mash, shepherds pie, and corn beef and cabbage! 3 meals? Hell yes! All delicious! In a great atmosphere and great service.

The food is delicious and the service is impeccable! Their Potato Leek Soup is EVERYTHING!!

This place was solid. The food was plentiful and the drinks menu was decent. The customer service was fantastic and the people their attended to me well. I would go back

I have stopped coming here due health safety violations when serving food. Apart for a regular crowd that hangs outside and smokes on the side walk, i was really uncomfortable when I noticed food being served without the necessary covid health measures that needed to be in put in place.

Cronin & Phelan is a casual Irish bar & grill serving authentic Irish fare. The prices are reasonable and the portions are huge. I've had the amazing Fish & Chips, French Onion Soup, Burger and the Wings. All very tasty and filling. The staff is friendly and accommodating with special requests. If you're in Astoria--give C&P a try!

My Wife and I cannot say enough good things about this place. Scotch Eggs,Grilled Chicken Wrap and Hearty Chili. All of the dished were top notch. The service was outstanding. The place well kept and beautiful. Special thank you to Joanna, our server who was beyond on point. Go and enjoy this place today.

Came here last night after a movie date for dinner. The boy said he had been here before and really enjoyed the food. I'm always up for newness (especially in the borough I now call home and with company that I fancy) and so we came here for dinner. He had Coors draft with their bangers & mash platter and I had Sam Adams Oktoberfest with a cheeseburger deluxe. He was happy with his bangers and mashed potatoes, I tried his beans and I wasn't impressed...I thought they were quite bland (mind you I'm Latin and I make freakin' awesome rice and beans...also I've never consumed just beans, there's always been rice...this to me is simply foreign and odd, but I understand the culture difference but I still like my beans seasoned and more flavorful), still the bangers and mashed potatoes looked good. I ordered my cheeseburger medium rare and was disappointed with it came out kind of medium-well. The meat was good, just drier than I prefer and not pink...like I also prefer. The fries were fantastic, crunchy but with a good "potato to fried" ratio. They provided us with A1 steak sauce, ketchup, mayo (which I mixed to create yummy pink sauce!) and malt vinegar. I fookin' love malt vinegar, anything vinegar is my ISH. Their Chicken Kiev is also ridiculously amazing (easily my favorite entree here!), as are their french fries, garlic and scallion mashed potatoes and eggs benedict. This bar looks like your standard Irish pub and had well placed TVs for prime sports viewing. It wasn't very loud (although it was like 10pm-ish when we arrived) or crowded which was great for conversation purposes. The waitress was nice, efficient and the food didn't take too long to come out (which is great cuz I was staaaarvin'!). I liked this bar - I'd totally be open to coming back and trying some of the other stuff on their menu (maybe brunch one day!), especially the stuffed potato skins on their app menu - that certainly caught my eye.

Very nice Neighborhood Bar with the BEST TV placement for viewing sports. Cronin & Phelan's is an awesome place to have a drink, meet friends or watch some sports. The Bar is on the right as you walk in with 20 plus seats. It is very roomy and comfortable. It has a six foot high divider in the middle of the room that separates the bar from the main dining area with a dozen tables and waitress service. What makes this place a gem, are the placement of TVs. They have about 8 or so 42 inch TVs along the length of the wall on the back bar. They are all align perfectly with excellent eye placement. You then have 3 larger TVs at each end of the space. Basically you can sit or stand anywhere at C & P and catch a great view of any of the games. Their not a bad view or spot in the place. Bartender service is friendly and efficient. The place has a large regular clientele and you will find someone always willing to talk sports. I have only had soup here, but they seem to serve some good "comfort food". Its your basic meat and potatoes place which isn't bad when your watching a game on TV. Overall, if you want to catch a game Cronin & Phelan's is as good as it gets. They seem to have all the sports packages and with so many TVs you can always find your favorite team or sport. I seem to order a Bud Draft for $2.25, but they do have a large selections of beer and liquor. You certainly will not go thirsty here. Day 7 - "June Challenge: A-B-C!"

My friend Steph had wanted to take me here I feel for ages. Like most Astoria establishments that she gets the "squees" about. Since I didn't make it past our first bar on our St. Patrick's Day Irish Pub bar crawl, I feel I was gypped and deprived on the Irish Astoria bar tour and glad I finally checked this out even if I didn't drink here and was vastly hungover after sleeping crookedly on my friend's boyfriend's couch and had eggs and coffee for brunch. The place is warm and glowy. That's exciting. But what's MORE exciting is that for their complimentary breadbasket at breakfast they give you HUGE FREAKING DELICIOUS BUTTERY SCONES! Yes. You heard me. I could have made an entire additional meal out of those huge nuggets of heaven (which I did and was incredibly fat and happy). The other amazing side of all of this is that everything is CHEAP AS HELL. I had breakfast for pretty much under $10 and I couldn't come close to finishing it. (I ate too many scones). How was the food? Not bad. I had the traditional eggs benedict with a side of fries. The hollandaise was a little on the too lemony side but the eggs were poached beautifully and I was already in my happy place with eating butter packets and scones. My friend Stephy had made an odd request in that she remembered there was a chicken dish she had once for dinner but it wasn't on the menu any longer. It's like a chicken kiev stuffed with cheese and ham and they offered to make it for her anyway. It all comes with a vegetable and mashed potatoes. Vegetables in Stephanie's case are French fries. Her boyfriend had the traditional Irish Breakfast: Eggs, bangers, black pudding, and ham. I tried the black pudding it was pretty tasty. My friends were confused and expecting pudding but I had had it before a couple years ago in England (blood sausage patties) and its still all the same. Friendly staff, good food, cheap, and relaxing place to hang out in. Lastly, they were showing the Lions on tv. I love you. Also, make note they have karaoke and stand up comedy on Saturdays, Open Mic Nights on Mondays, and some odd dart tournament on Tuesdays.

Came here with my friend and her family who has frequently dine at this pub. Yummy bread and raisin biscuits basket. Food: I ordered the Honey BBQ Wings, my friend got the Shepherds Pie, her daughter got the Mozzarella Sticks, and her husband got the special something Yankee (shoot forgot the actual name) Man I tried my friend's Shepherds Pie and it was very delicious and fulfilling and also her husband's dish and it was pretty yummy. The owner actually came by our table and greeted my friend's husband and I could tell it was a very homey pub. Definitely a great food spot so come on by here!

Still the best Irish pub in Astoria. Top notch shepherds pie and fish and chips. Great staff. Very friendly and attentive. Covid restrictions are always being followed. A must go in Astoria.

Outstanding menu of fresh food that changes daily. Best pint of Guinness I've had in NYC. Friendly staff. Very strict about covid precautions. Great prices. I always have an awesome and safe time!

Was out and about with a good buddy who lives in Astoria and we ducked in here to get out of the rain. Glad we did, as it's a great classic pub full of locals drinking beer and eating burgers. A few folks might call this a dive, but I'd say it's a few notches above, as it was clean inside, and the Sadsack Lou to Regular Joe ratio seemed to favor Joes at least three-to-one. Plus there were legit families just enjoying a casual meal. Cronin & Phelan's accomplishes exactly what it strives to be: a comfy local watering hole fit for all walks of life.

I really don't have any complaints about this spot. It's one of the well known bars in Astoria and it's praised by anybody who I've ever spoken to about it. I like the older bars, sometimes you need to pop into the local watering holes and relax. I've stopped in here a few times and always had a good experience. Drinks are very fairly priced and the food as well. Speaking of the food- the food it's very good! They also have plenty of seating room in the back if the front is filled up. The service is really good too- always have a pleasant waitress and good bartenders. I always see large groups of people having lunch or dinner together. People always seem so involved in conversation and laughing it up. They have a jukebox that is usually on as well- it's not too loud either so you can actually talk to people. It's just a pleasant setting. This visit I came in on St. Patrick's Day and this is a MUST for all you local Astorians! Even if you're not from Astoria haha! They do a special Irish menu for the day and it's soooo good! I ended up getting the bangers and mash and trying some of my fiancé's corned beef and cabbage which was so delicious! I do believe they have these items available for whenever you go actually and not just St. Patrick's Day. So what luck- you can go and try it any time! Make a stop in here one day or night and give it a shot!

Dive bar worthy of any old small town in upstate New York and the patrons to match. Decent prices are about the only reason to come here. If you're a transplant still not used to the big city then i can see why you would connect to this place. For a modern day New Yorker like me, I can't pick one thing to come back for. Service was a little rude, food a bit too generic and vibe a bit too rinky dink for my taste. I'd skip this place and head over somewhere more modern in overall culture.

Cronin & Phelan's is an old school bar--very old school--and exceptionally good food. who would have thunk it? Perhaps that's why Cronin's has been around as long as it has which is too long for me to remember. The barkeeps are feisty or compassionate as needed. And while they could be a bit more efficient, the attitude of the place ads to its charm--and appeal.

Cronin's is probably my favorite place to eat! I love Cronin's so much my husband threw my surprise birthday party there! We even had our rehearsal dinner there; everyone loved the food. It's an Irish Pub with great drinks, food and if you are lucky you get a magic show from Dave (who is fabulous!) I've eaten almost everything on the menu. Of course I have my faves and just to name a few: crab cake Cesar salad, broiled pork chops, roast beef melt, BUT the turnips are a MUST HAVE!!! The service is great, the ambiance is cozy and the food is delish!!! Your next night out or even Sunday brunch consider giving Cronin's a try if you haven't already! Enjoy!!

Cool Irish Pub in the heart of Astoria that offers great food and strong drinks. Not a place that I would hang out at on the regular because the crowd is a bit older but definitely for dinner and a few drinks at the table. The bar is spacious and there is plenty of booth seats as well as table and chair seating. They also have a back yard that has a few tables and chairs for the warmer weather. The staff is nice and very knowledgeable of all the dishes that are on the menu. Their brunch specials are great and the drinks offered pack a punch. My favorite entrees happen to be the roast beef platter which is a generous serving of meat as well as 3 scoops of mashed potatoes and a delicious gravy to go with everything. Today I decided to go with the stuffed salmon with crab meat and a side of mashed potatoes with string beans. A big piece of salmon smothered in a creamy lemon and butter sauce which the mashed potatoes soaked up, hit the spot for me. Although I wanted to try the Mexican Platter for dessert, there was not enough room in my stomach for another thing. For an appetizer, my mom and I split nachos which although we order a small, it was more than enough for two people. They were packed with tasty chili, cheese, jalapeños and olives. It was just perfect ... not too many ingredients thrown in there just enough to get your taste buds going and wanting more. This is definitely a good spot if you want some home made comfort food or just a burger to satisfy your taste buds. The location is perfect and it's literally around the corner from the R train Steinway Station a stop.

Sometimes you need a break from dive bars and fancy schmancy bars where you occasionally feel out of place. Cronin & Phelan's comes in handy in times like these. It's not the biggest bar and there isn't much seating but it's cozy and friendly. The regulars are known by the bartenders. Everyone is laughing and having a great time. Sports play on the TVs scattered all around. They also have an impressive beer list. I didn't try their food but next time I definitely will.

My day off was such a success coming here! Evelina was such an amazing spark of energy and was so attentive. I didn't expect such great service just going to a bar but it was spectacular! She noticed that we ordered mashed potatoes and were served baked potatoes, ran to the kitchen and served both. The service, the food, the whole experience was bonkers amazing.

Yeah. This place is really cool- and I am not usually one to seek the Irish pub type places. Came to sit at the bar to watch baseball and get some soup (bf was craving French onion soup). I got pea soup. Both were spectacular. Plus they dropped off a complementary basket of Irish soda bread biscuits, which were so Delish. The bartender though, is what really gives this place 5 stars. He gave us our third drink on the house plus came over and did a bunch of really cool (seriously not at all lame) card tricks for over 5 minuets. He was so cool. Will def be back!! And side note-- I've been to many Irish bars that are dirty and sticky and this place was so clean and welcoming

I went here for St Patrick's day a year ago against my better judgment but was PLEASENTLY SURPRISED. working in the restaurant biz I figured it would be crazy busy and unenjoyably. but staff was organized and set up a menu that was only being served (this improved time of our food coming out) the menu consisted of corn beef and cabbage and a few other things. even though we wanted French onion soup and it wasn't on the menu that day for st patricks day I will not hold it against them because they were efficient and the food was a hit. a week later I went back with my BF for the French onion soup and was very satisfied. loved this place and will be going back again and again.

Must visit neighborhood Irish pub in Astoria. Super friendly staff and great service. The food is just as good as the pints of Guinness and Irish coffees. Have had the veggie burger and they make a great vegetable curry for vegetarians upon request! You won't get better Irish comfort food in the neighborhood for such an affordable price!

Stopped in last night for a couple of drinks with some friends and really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere. Peter the barman was very hospitable, taking time to chat with us and everyone else at the bar! His Guinness pouring is first class which is a rarity in New York! The wings were equally as good! A request to put on some Olympics was also met without an issue! We'll definitely be back!

Had a really great time here with my mom. We got the French onion soup and BLT with some beers. Fantastic time, and don't say no to the bread! It's really good bread LOL. Lydia was great

I work in Midtown East, otherwise known as the Land of Nondescript Irish Pubs, and I live in Astoria, which has its fair share of these as well, so I think I could be forgiven for generally glossing over Irish-themed haunts since -at least on the surface- they're pretty much impossible to tell apart. However, I'm traveling to Ireland in a couple of months, which makes me want to culturally prepare myself by eating Irish food. Luckily for me, I noticed this conveniently-located Astoria spot popping up on several "best Irish food in NYC" lists. We came for brunch around 1 pm on a slightly chilly Saturday in May. The dining area, which is separated from the bar, was totally empty throughout most of our meal, but toward the end some families and regulars started to come in. At least at this time of day, the crowd was on the older side. The brunch menu is really limited, but you can also choose to order one of their many lunch offerings. Brunch comes with a free mimosa, bellini, or bloody mary, though! I chose to try the Irish breakfast, which, at like $13, is an amazing value (and remember that free drink!). You get a huuuge plate filled with two eggs any style (over easy for me), Irish bacon, sausage, black and white pudding, french or home fries, and toast. All of it was delicious, but I thought the home fries, bacon, and sausage were particularly notable. I don't know that I've ever had Irish bacon, but it reminded me a little of an American/Canadian bacon combo. It was grilled, which added an amazing smokiness. I was not expecting anything special from home fries, but somehow made home fries about as good as they could possibly taste. They were almost... succulent. The bloody mary was small, but nicely spiced, and again, free! My boyfriend had the steak and eggs, which also comes with fries/home fries and toast. He appreciated that the steak was actually cooked medium, as ordered. One small criticism is that the bathroom could've been a little cleaner. The sink was kind of clogged, which was a little unsightly. I would definitely be interested in coming back to try the Irish-style chicken curry, which sounds really different!

Great local pub and grill on Broadway in Astoria. The soups are made fresh in house and are epic. Esp. The beef lentil. Portions are massive and really reasonable prices. I always sub the side of fries for the house salad side - really fresh produce! The burgers and turkey burger are my favorite. The Irish warm and hearty meals are a great way to fight off a cold winter day. Service is always great! Also a cool spot to have a pint.

Always love this place. This used to be just a local bar but now it is a restaurant. Family friendly as well. Super friendly service and great restaurant. I always always come here for beer and wings. They come with a fresh generous load of celery. Also the Cesar salad is pretty delicious. The have a outdoor beer garden seating and indoor seating. Single bathrooms though so you will need to wait if you need to go.

One of my favorite neighborhood restaurants. Food is on point and the French Onion is the best I've had anywhere! Bar staff is excellent as well, always good conversation and a buy-back. Very thankful for their commitment to the patrons and staff during the pandemic. A pub well worth going out of the way for.

Had a great experience here. Food was amazing, drinks were inexpensive and also great. The restaurant was very safe and clean. Masks were always on and I saw a lot of cleaning. Highly recommend. Favorite restaurant in Astoria.
