Hibernia Bar

Me and my partner snuck in here at 2 am on a Tuesday night, as we were looking for some wings. Although it was quiet, we had a blast. Food was great, drinks were solid. But I’m really here to put in a word for the Bartender Andy. Hands down one of the best bar experiences, all thanks to him.

Cool bar. It's in an area of the city that surrounded by tons of other bars but there aren't many other Irish pubs so this on e stands out. Great drinks and fun atmosphere. It was my first time there and it was St. Patty's Day so it was pretty wild and energetic in there. I liked it.

Amazing atmosphere and amazing staff! The tacos were truly amazing and seeing all the jerseys and tvs showing games and everyone having a good time is always great to see! Would always recommend this spot to have a beer and watch the game!

Top notch. Andy is a top notch guy. Excellent bar tender. Wonderful place. Can’t say enough nice stuff. If you’re a Steelers fan, BTW, show up on Sundays because it’s apparently thing here.

Tafoya chicken sandwich and torch ipa. By far the best chips (fries) I’ve ever had in NYC- the grilled chicken was supremely cooked and still mouth-wateringly tender to eat. I’ll be back to have this again and explore more on the menu !!

A neat little Irish bar in the middle of the city’s attractions. Sports was playing in the tv’s. I came here for a few drinks. I had wine and chicken wings, fish and chips. The wings were delicious. The atmosphere is fun.

Amazing burgers. Great staff. Kitchens open till 2.

We visited the place based on other recommendations, and despite their A/C problems we had a wonderful time. It was great watching Wimbledon on their big TV, sipping beer, munching on their sampler platter and spotting the neighborhood regulars. If you want to try one dish only, I highly recommend their jalapeno stuffed peppers - they are unique and delicious! Also to know: onion soup is not served in summer 🌞

Amazing bar. Classic Irish pub that has great food, music, and drinks. One of my favorite places to go out in Hell's Kitchen and I always find myself coming back here. Highly recommend.

A single at the second bar eating with one's back to the locals isn't ideal but the fish and chips more than made up for the mutual awkwardness. Best Fish & Chips that I've had.

This is a no-nonsense sports bar. Met my husband at the end of a Steelers game, was packed to the brim! It was kind of like a church on Sunday, a lady was disappointed we were in "her seat" lol Fun experience though, bartending was super fast considering how busy it was. Overall people were welcoming & the energy was contagious.

Traveling from Virginia and being in NYC for the Steelers-Chiefs game on Christmas Day (we are Buffalo Bills fans, so we were Steelers fans for this game) we wanted somewhere fun to watch. We found Hibernia after a google search for a Steelers bar and went. Tristan immediately greeted us upon entering and made us feel like regulars! What a great Irish Pub!! Perfect Guinness drafts and Tristan was amazingly attentive, hospitable and friendly. All the Steelers fans welcomed us (Especially Ellen -LOL) and we had a great time. The only thing that would have made it more perfect would have been if the Steelers had won. Thank you Tristan and everyone at Hibernia for a great day and for making us feel at home. We will return the next time we are in the City!

perfect pre theatre stop ! This small Irish bar was a lovely escape from the rain ! Fun Irish vibe with soccer on TV and a fan base watching ! Loud enough but not yo loud to hear each other talk ! We had the sampler platter, honestly full of delicious food and dips . Crunchy chicken tenders , wings and jalapeño poppers and mozzarella sticks ! and a perfectly cooked stuffed baked potato. A perfect amount for the 3 of us ! cold beer , bloody mary and great service . I would certainly go back if i was on the area ! The platter was so good i forgot picture , so you just have to trust me

I was in the area and did not need to go. I have plenty of food at home and cook well. I watched a football game. My intuition right away told me that the owner did not like confident, strong women. He was rude in his tone when I asked the television volume be lowered a second time. The football ads were loud. He said it's not a library because I had a book, as if you can't read in a bar unless he and his customers haven't read a book in years. I didn't leave as I had started to eat. No Tip

We (13 ladies) went here after seeing a Broadway show... when we walked in we weren't quite sure this place would be for us... but boy were we wrong!!! As soon as we were seated our waiter couldn't have been nicer! Service was great and when our food arrived it was DELICIOUS!!! Prices were reasonable, and EVERYONE was happy with their meal!! I highly recommend this small and intimate venue if you are looking for good drinks and a filling meal!!

"PERMANENTLY BANNED": During March Madness, 2024,, my 26-year-old son and I, both proud University of Florida Gator alums, decided on the W. 50th Street Hibernia Bar (three blocks from my apt.) to catch the game. While the Gators lost 102-100, the game was exciting plus I got to spend time with my kid! The service throughout the evening was good. I had a wilted Caesar salad (though my previous one here had been great), and my son enjoyed his shepherd's pie. Halfway through the tournament, and after we'd finished our meal, we decided to order eight wings. Time passed, the game ended, and the wings still had not arrived. No mention by the server that there were delays in the kitchen, etc., and the bar was not full. At all. As ex-servers, we know that if a table re-orders during the meal, the order does not go to the back of the cue. No big deal, it's only wings. Right? After waiting at least 10 minutes after the game ended and with an empty wine glass (in the server's defense, he'd asked me if I wanted another one and I said I might when the wings arrive), I canceled the wings and asked for the check. The young server looked nervous as he asked me if I wanted them to-go. I said I didn't. The check arrived with the wings on the bill. I asked the server if he would mind taking off the wings and he said he had to ask the manager. The manager arrived and asked, "What's the problem?" I mentioned there wasn't one, just the wings never came and we had to leave. He then said, and you can't make this up, "I'm going to pull the video to see what time the order was placed." In ex-server and NYC shock, I politely replied, "Wtf are you talking about?" He said, "You can't use that language in here!!" Hmmm, an Irish Pub, NYC, on game night and no swearing. Hadn't heard of such. Without a word, the manager vanished like a leprechaun. I looked around, confused - I didn't realize the kitchen was down a flight of stairs behind me. I thought he'd left so I walked over to the bartender and said I needed to leave and pay the bill. He said I had to wait for the manager. I assumed I was now infamous for the eight-wing kerfuffle. Not knowing if the manager was going to return, I said to the bartender, "So, we can do this one of two ways. I can pay my bill now, or I'll have to leave." The bartender said, and I quote, "If you leave without paying, we will chase you down." Poof! The Mgr reappeared and said, "I'll take off the wings, but you can never come back here again...you arent welcome here anymore." Over eight wings. With pen in hand, at the bar about to sign the (now adjusted) bill, the bartender said, "You need to get outta here!" I asked him if I should sign the bill first or just leave. He said I could sign the bill and THEN I could leave. AND I NEED TO SAY: Sorry to the server. He did not deserve the manager's out of control wrath. He'd shared with us during the evening, he was originally from Ireland and told us his story about how he ended up in NYC. My son, who travels frequently, took out his phone with a map of Ireland and the server showed him several places to visit for a future trip there. I left him a $15 tip on our $71 bill. The price of the missing wings. ** I'm a 68-year-old professional and a volunteer in the community. This is the first time I've been banned from an establishment. After 5+ years in NYC, I now consider myself, a true New Yorker.

I like this bar a lot more than I should, and I do not exactly know why. The bartenders are always friendly and attentive. There's nothing particularly great about this place but I still feel like it'd be my local bar if I lived closer.

Alright, this is a cool local bar. The staff here is super funny! I came here with a friend and we were able to meet other folks and befriend. The topic of conversation quickly turned into how the neighborhood is predominantly gay. Bartender was free pouring our drink (probably to compensate how expensive it was, seemed like he poured 2 shots and charged us for 2 shots, but called it just 1 shot). Nice place and vibes, we were here pretty late and stayed pretty late. The outdoor is also nice and spacious. Unfortunately, while we were leaving, the building caught on fire! It turned from a fun night into one of panic. We were pounding on doors, screaming for the residents to get out, making noise to wake the people up. It was burning quick but the fire department came super fast and was able to rescue the remaining 3 people who were at the top! Quite an exciting night to say the least. But even without that, the place is a nice enough to turn into your local watering hole

Went to watch a Steelers game and was so impressed by the service, food, and drinks! Such a fun bar. We got there early to get seats and even though the bar was PACKED for the game we never waiting for food or drinks. The waiter came by very often to check in with us. Great bar!

Bartender was awesome. Super friendly. He made a slightly dirty martini to perfection. And even though it was out of place for this Irish bar, it was really good. The one thing that shocked me was how incredibly friendly the patrons were definitely a return bar that I could see becoming my local spot, the hot wings were phenomenal. Super spicy. I had the casserole because the bartender said it was one of the best. It was good but I wish I tried the fish and chips next time.

One of the best bar experiences I've ever had in NYC. Stopped in 2 nights in a row. Eddie and Jeff took care of us both times. Night 1 had a bit to drink and told them how I was going to propose to my girlfriend the next day. Went back after the proposal and they helped us celebrate and played a song for us. It's a great bar that can make you feel like you've been a regular for 10 years after just 24 hours. Thanks for everything and will be coming back every time I'm in the city!

We stopped here very randomly because we had walked from the ferry station on our way to see a show. Lo and behold we stumbled into a Steelers bar (I am from Pittsburgh). The bartender Andy was fantastic. It was just us and he was happy to bullshit with us the whole time! We even went back after the show! Andy said during the football season people are lined up in the freezing cold to get in. If your a Steelers fan you know how crazy we are! Great bar to check out either way!

Fun place to watch the Steelers game. Friendly crowd. I enjoyed the fish and chips. Wish there was more space.

This is a cool place to meet up, have one round and go somewhere else. The place has single pane glass across its entire front and is freezing inside. The staff were a little judgy when I walked in. I do look a little different than most when I go out. It is uncomfortable when I walk in and get that side eye and whispers fly between the staff already standing next to each other as to what or who I am. Wish it was just business as usual but I get it. I can't expect everyone to handle themselves respectfully. That would be as weird as I look walking in. Definitely wanted to try the food because it looked good in the pictures. It tasted really good! had the sliders with cheese and bacon and UTZ potato chips. But it was far from cheap for those 2 little things (yes two not three like everywhere else) Probably would have been happier with the french onion soup or maybe felt warmer. Did not finish my second beer after eating (to cold inside) and left for paradise, GAF WEST on 48th between 8th and 9th ave. They have two dartboards and don't flinch when I walked in. Made a few new friends before leaving. I do want to go back at least once in mundane attire. Maybe in the summer. I'm not giving up on you or the over priced menu Hibernia. I know there is a good time waiting for me there. I can feel it

What a great little bar! Our friend brought us here for a quick drink before a show. The place is small but has tons of character, a true local Irish and sports bar enough TV screens to watch. I can see the place gets crowded, and easy to see why. Staff was great and friendly. I had a Sweetwater 420 IPA on tap which was nice, and I'm glad my friend recommended the cheese tater tots which were amazing. Our stay was short because we had to catch a show but I definitely want to come back!

I came here with my husband on Saturday evening for a drink and late lunch/dinner. When we arrived, Hibernia was almost empty. There was probably 6 patrons inside. However, a couple more people arrived while we were there. I ordered a Malibu with sprite and my husband just had water. To eat, I ordered a chicken quesadilla and a side order of tater tots (because I love them and most restaurants don't have them) and he ordered the chicken pot pie. Our food arrived to our table about 10 minutes after we ordered. My food was DELICIOUS! I was a little surprised since Hibernia is more of a bar, than a restaurant. My husband was not happy with his food. It looked more like a cream of soup with peas and carrots and a small "biscuit" floating over it. It was not a pie at all. :( Also, the prices were much more expensive than we expected to pay. However, the service was fast and friendly.

On Sat October 15, 2022 my group entered Hibernia after leaving another Hell's Kitchen establishment. Our waitress Michelle (long, stringy brown hair and glasses) was incredibly unprofessional, as she insulted me in front of the table upon taking my order. I told her that was an unnecessary insulting comment to make to a customer and there was no reason for her to interject herself in a private conversation. She immediately ran over behind the bar to the bar manager (who told me his name was Mike?) and lied to him about what had just occurred, saying I was rude. The bar manager (or Mike supposedly?) , without asking what happened or trying to get to the bottom of it, took Michelle's word at face value and came to our table to yell at our group. He asked no questions, just threatened to kick us all out. To which our table responded "what's going on? We have no idea what you're talking about." As I was leaving (around 10:45p), I approached the same manager about Michelle's behavior, telling him he didn't have the correct story and Michelle had lied to him. He cut me off and sarcastically replied "just go on the internet and leave your one star review then". (Well here it is!) As I mentioned at the beginning of this, we were someplace else but came here b/c some people in my group really enjoy it. I can safely say I never want to step in Hibernia again and will instruct other people never to go back as well.

We had a great time at Hibernia today! It's primarily an Irish/Steelers bar, with sports on 24/7 , or whenever it's on. The tatertots we good and perfectly cooked, unfortunately we didn't try any other food. They know how to pour a Guinness! As someone that's been to Ireland, I wish I was able to get Guinness this fresh anywhere in NYC.

A great after work spot. Atmosphere is casual with good food and drinks. I had a work event here recently, the staff were super friendly and accommodating.

What an awesome spot! Outstanding bartenders. Very good food. Great crowd. It is a lively place that still manages to be perfect to chill and hang having a few pints and some (deliciously ) wings ! Or place some serious darts. Just an overall great place with really great people! Love it here!

The food always catches me by surprise. The sirloin burger was super delicious! I didn't touch the Tots, until the burger was gone. Customer service, bar none, the best in hells kitchen.

I love this place. Been here well over 20 times and will continue. Staff is always attentive and kind. Decent selection of draft beer that is always cold. Wings are the best i've had in NYC in the 12 years i've lived here. Good amount of tv's to watch games and darts. Outdoor seating is nice in the summer as well. Good prices and specials every night. A great hells kitchen sports pub.

Fantastic atmosphere with friendly staff! Fries are great. Fun place to watch Steelers games as well.

Cool small bar with a pretty decent happy hour. It was $4.50 for beers, and they had quite a few options. I only remember Blue Moon cause that's what I had, but they had a few others. The entire bar fits maybe 40 people, so it's a cool place to catch up with someone or just meet up before going to dinner somewhere, which is what I did. The music is so so, but it's a sports bar so I'll give it a pass. Service is extremely friendly, even though it was swamped. We ordered our beers, and then moved away, and they brought it to us, so that we didn't have to stand at the crowded bar. Pretty awesome. Would come back here if I was in the area again.

My mom moved into the area a few years ago, and I visit Hibernia for a nightcap when visiting sometimes. I also like to catch NFL games at the bar. The staff is always friendly, and they have well-priced drinks. The pour a good Guiness as well, which is always appreciated. I haven't tried the food here, but I need to.

Awesome bar to come to if you are a Steelers fan and love NFL football on Sunday's. You have to come early otherwise there is standing room only after the games start, but there is a net of black and yellow balloons filled with slips giving out free stuff (hats, beer ect..) on the ceiling that is cut loose during halftime. Overall great vibes! Will definitely be back.

Hole in the wall Irish Steeler bar. We only got a drink. Bartender is great!! I was told about it from another Steeler fan who is Irish and since it was walking distance from our hotel we had to go. All the decor is Steelers or Irish! Would love to be there for a game.

Had some Guinness and other draft beers. We enjoyed buffalo wings as well! - the server was friendly and the atmosphere was as expected when I thought of local's fav bar. We were visiting from Pittsburgh so it was funny to see the Steelers flag in the restaurant... felt like home, wish this was 'my' local bar!

OMG best burger ever.Please do not ever change your way.Who ever cooks in this bar is the bomb diggity.Stopped in for a burher and a Sam Adams winter lager no issue. Best service ever all smiles. Great beer price.Guys you got it going on. Will be back for that burger.

Super fun and quaint bar in Hell's Kitchen. THIS is your bar if you're a Steelers fan! This place gets crazy crowded on game days so be sure to arrive early if you want to grab a seat! Whether you get a seat or stand, the service is great! The bartenders are friendly and efficient and always make sure you have a drink in your hand. The wings are great as well! Will definitely be back this Sunday!

Best spot in NYC! A place where everyone knows your name if you're lucky enough to come in a few times. And without a doubt the best place to hit if you only got one night in NYC and want to have the best time!

This place is amazing. Great affordable drinks, delicious food and amazing and friendly staff! Highly recommend

One of the friendliest bars in NYC. The staff is amazing and the food is delicious. If you're a Steelers fan there is no better bar in NY than here to be at during a game.

Cool bar and upbeat music. Lots of sports memorabilia hanging against walls and ceiling. Lots of drafts, some very good. Very chill attitude and friendly service. When we tasted the bread pudding we ordered, we were asked how it was. I didn't want to lie, and reported the bare truth: it was completely burned on the top, virtually inedible. Eddy immediately took it off our check and apologized. Although the dessert was bad, he didn't have to so it. "I just want you guys to be happy, and this is the least I can do." We weren't even regulars, and he showed us a degree of care you rarely see anywhere else. I call this outstanding service.

Came in to have a Guinness Stout and ended up having a Swiss cheese hamburger and french fries which were out of this world I also had a Irish beer namedsweet something or other I can't remember because I think I had about five of them two shots of Irish whiskey place was very nice and comfortable service was excellent beyond that I don't remember much but I will say this I will go back that's for sure.

First time coming to this bar it was absolutely amazing the service was great and we came In at 1am got food and great service even with a full establishment. I will definitely come back here when I'm in New York!

It's a great place for hanging out with friends and conversation and the staff is very nice and quick. And if you ride citi bike that's perfect because the bike station is right in front

Extremely overpriced, even for NYC. My wife and I came here for dinner recently. Everything on their menu is about $5 more expensive than their own website indicates, which is very dishonest. I ordered the Chicken Pot Pie for $18.95, which is ridiculously overpriced. It was not even a real chicken pot pie. It was more like chicken and vegetable soup in a bowl with a thin flaky dough on top. A REAL chicken pot pie is supposed to be INSIDE the dough, and the dough should be much thicker! It was not filling and I was extremely disapoointed. However my wife ordered the Chicken Quesadillia and tator tots, and she did enjoy them. Service was friendly and background music was good (mostly alternative rock). My wife's Malibu drink was also quite expensive. I do not know how much they wanted for domestic beers, but I'd assume they are also way overpriced like everything else. I would not return. There are still plenty more affordable bars/restaurants with much better quality food in the area.

I have been here twice now and really just like the weird mix of cultures and fandoms at this bar. I just looked around and noticed pennants from everything from the Steelers to Texas A&M. It is a weird hodge podges of pennants and flags, but definitely has a distinctive Irish vibe to it. I ordered the nachos which were fantastic and filling with some oddly delicious salsa as well as mozzarella sticks, to which I have no complaints. Drinks are pretty normal for Midtown, a little on the pricier side, but all in all not a total rip off. The sheer number of TVs makes this an enjoyable place to watch sports. Although a lot of the clientele may not be sports fans, a massive projector as well as TVs on all the sides means you are guaranteed to get a view of whatever sport you are trying to watch. Although there are a lot of sports bars in the area, this just stands out for being just a little more peculiar than the rest. The one man band the first time I came, and the 50 person birthday party that just rolled in the second, it is a pretty varied place in terms of both other people at the bar and the overall ambiance. It is definitely worth a visit because it is just fun to read all the things all over the walls.

Great spot to wait for my laundry at the mat a couple doors down. Relaxed environment, nice staff, good food. The Sheppard's pie was a success. 12 beers in tap. 4 table patio for those nice days. Cool sports memorabilia on the walls.

2020 ravaged our society. 2021 seems like the sequel no one wanted. There is one bastion of society that has survived, this establishment. I've been greeted every time I've gone by a friendly person and atmosphere. They causally have the best current actual pint of Guinness which can be enjoyed, in NYC, accompanied by most sports games. Finally the food is superb.

Simple & sporty Irish pub. I tried your typical bar type food and it was all really good, now I wish I would have tried some of their more traditional Irish dishes! This is clearly a Pittsburgh Steelers bar and I'm so sad we were in Nyc on a steeler bi-week. The server was super friendly and the service was good. For a sports bar this is definitely a good pick especially if you are in close proximity! #steelernation

Great Steeler bar in Hells kitchen. Good selection of local IPAs on tap and and plentiful app choices and meaty, tangy chicken wings. A place you must experience if the Steelers are playing!

Cute Irish bar in Hell's Kitchen. Robbie our bartender was phenomenal.. recommended us great beers and gave us detailed descriptions on many of the options on the menu for our hungry group of four. We really enjoyed the conversation. Would come back anytime! Playlist was bomb

This review is based on an experience we had a couple weeks back. Thrillist had announced a Mojito Madness event at several bars in the city - one of which was Hibernia. Having read other reviews about how this was an excellent place for happy hour and great ambiance, we decided to try it out. Upon asking the bartender about the mojito specials, they looked at us like if we were speaking in tongues and had asked for some obscene request. They asked if we wanted a long island iced tea (no idea why) then sort of snickered. We ordered a round of beers so it wouldn't be a complete waste of time, but felt them and the other patrons stare daggers at us as if we absolutely didn't belong there. I can understand that there may have been a mistake in the publication advertising that they were a part of the event (with the location address and pictures of the business), but there was no need for them to be unwelcoming and downright rude. I really wanted to like this place, but after that there's just no way we'll go back.

Football Season The #1 Pittsburgh Steelers Bar in NYC I go by myself usually which is fine because I feel I'm among friends. We all have a common goal which is to cheer on the Steelers. Bring the Terrible Towel gals/guys and wear yellow and black. Space is limited. Bartenders are friendly. Order the Wings. Tip 1: To have a good experience at this bar on game day, it's recommended not to wear the opponents colors. Tip 2: Ladies there's a bathroom downstairs that you can use.

Why doesn't this place have more reviews? No matter the occasion, you can dance on their tables. And no one will complain. I've probably caused more problems here than solved, but I'll be back for more shenanigans. Hibernia a staple of Hell's Kitchen, and should be part of any bar crawl/dance night out, especially with hours like they have. The bartenders will get you what you want, and then some.
