The Landmark Tavern

Loved this old fashioned bar, that's been around for ages. When you step inside you feel like you're in another era. The space is big and includes a back room. I love the wood paneling. The Cocktails are good and the prices are reasonable. I'll have to go back and try the food. The service is good.

We visited The Landmark Tavern on 11th Avenue. The steak was flavorful and well prepared, and the beer – especially the dark Guinness – was excellent. The burger, on the other hand, was nothing remarkable. The fried chicken fingers were decent, but very simple, and the fries came overcooked. What really disappointed me was the side dish: the menu listed “steamed vegetables,” which normally suggests peppers, tomatoes, corn, or maybe eggplant. Instead, I was served a full plate of broccoli. Since I cannot tolerate broccoli, this should have been clarified on the menu. A more accurate name would be Steak with mashed potatoes and broccoli.

Foods service and atmosphere were all great! The waitress and the bartender were super friendly and attentive; my hamburger (sirloin and Swiss cheese) was delicious as well as the French fries! I also had an Aperol spritz which was also very good. The place is very clean and there are tables suitable for all size of groups.

Got two burgers, not juicey at all. Small amounts and it's just very dry. Even the medium rare. For $20 a burger just go to wendys. The beer is $10. Server is nice. Weird going into a Irish bar and having white linen cloth. Like they are trying to justify their prices. Just go somewhere else

A great dinner at Landmark Tavern in Hell’s Kitchen. Opened in 1868, it is one of the oldest continuously operating bars in NYC. Back in the day, it was literally waterfront property - there was no 12th Avenue until the 1880’s when it was created with landfill. We had the corner beef & cabbage and braised lamb shank - both were delicious.

This was such a fun find! We had about 2 hours to kill before getting on our tour boat and wandered around the streets looking for something nice. It was 12pm and walked in and it was naturally quiet but we were starving! Ordered 2 pints and food. The manager then came over to have a chat with us which was super cool. Told us the history of the place and then ended up showing us that they were featured in Ed Sheerans documentary. Food was really tasty. Went for the fry and the Quesadillas. Would reccomend!

We greatly enjoyed our lunch here. My swordfish dish was excellent, and everyone else enjoyed their selections as well. The place had a fun vibe, and our server was awesomely friendly and helpful.

I don't give many 5 stars but The Landmark Tavern gets it. The atmosphere is amazinging and the owner spent some time with us just talking. I loved it. A local Tavern with more than just bar food. Don't miss this place!

After leaving the intrepid museum, we were hot and thirsty. We walked around and came across this tavern, its right up the block . Very convenient. Its going to sound like the beginning of a bad jokes but 2 black chick's and a little boy we walk in lol. We were happy to see they had a kids menu posted on the door. He ordered the fish fingers and fries , he truly enjoyed it. We shared a order of the spicy wings. They were so crispy and flavored well. For cocktails my bestie and I each ordered the hells kitchen sour. ( great drink and priced well). We were the only females at the time. And the patrons seemed to be all fire fighters. We felt very comfortable. The service was friendly and quick. They do include the gratuity in the check. If your in the area its worth checking out. Its a old school new york feel in there. Dark wood original black and white tiles on the floor.

Came here one evening in lieu of Jazz at the pier. It was too hot to be outside! My local friends took us here. We ate and we drank The bartender was so nice and friendly! I even was told that there is a ghost who lives here! This is probably one of my favorite places that we visited It is the perfect local tavern

Needed some hearty food after a day exploring The Edge and taking a boat ride Manhattan with out of town guests. Found Landmark in walking distance of the Circle Line and was impressed with the old school bar vibe and hung portions. I had the fish n chips which was big enough for two. The Sheppards pie had crispy mash potatoes and a savory gravy. Good selection of beers though wish it had more local/regional selections.

We walked on the Hudson for over an hour. The weather was hot and muggy. We saw this tavern on Yelp. It was a cool place. Ambiance was very Irish! The service was great! I had a sirloin burger that was skimpy and undercooked but a nice grilled flavor. Friend had quesadilla and it was huge. Edge of very scetchy neighborhood but a nice place to rest up and cool off.

We had just finished visiting the intrepid museum and we're looking for location to grab a beer or cider. The landmark Tavern is conveniently located just up the block from the intrepid museum. While we did not have food, all of the food coming out from the kitchen looked amazing. And we heard several customers complementing their server on how good the food was. They do have a large selection for cocktails. We opted to just have a beer and they carry Magner's Irish cider, which is my absolute favorite !

I can't believe I've been in Manhattan for years now and have never been to "Landmark Tavern." This place is reach in history. But today, after some arm twisting, I went. We walked over and arrived ten minutes early. So while we waited we looked at all the construction in the area and were happy to see the area grow. Looking at the restaurant, you can see it has an old school feel. It feels quaint and homey. Inside is no different. It feels elegant for in a bar setting. The wooden tables are covered with white cloth and they have glass on the table, being filled as you sit. Our waitresses, Nancy, however was the centerpiece of our experience. She was pleasant and knowledgeable. She talked softly, but had a giant personality. We placed our order and had a short wait. The food came out hot and fresh. I couldn't want to try my food. And try I did. I loved the home made french fries with my meal. They gave plenty, so I liked that. They also added a lot of extras on my plate. Onion, tomatoes, and lettuce, if you want more on your burger. But mine was perfect with the caramelized onions and cheese. Now let me say, the sirloin burger was incredible. It was thick and juicy; cooked medium, perfectly. The only knock was the bread. It was too dry and thick. I ate just the beef out of it because of that. But I really enjoyed that burger. All said and done, I'm glad I got to experience a Manhattan staple. I think I have to get out more, there's definitely a lot more on this menu I want to try.

stopped in here for one drink because it was one of the oldest bars in Hell's kitchen, and it said to be haunted.. the waiter/bartender Pete made the most amazing lemon drop with real lemon juice has a warm welcoming environment and the ambience is amazing. You could tell that the building is old and they kept it that way. If you're in the neighborhood, you definitely have to stop in and by the way, even though we're not eating here, the food looks amazing.

I came to Landmark Tavern after a memorial for a friend with a group of 13 people for lunch on a Sunday. We had made a reservation for their back room, which hosts 2 long tables & ironically there was a memorial being held at the table next to us. Our table ordered 1st though & our food came out rather quickly. I had ordered Fish & Chips & it was the tastiest fish & chips I've had in a long time! There were 2 huge pieces of fish which were delicious! The oil the fish was cooked in seemed very fresh & I believe the fish used was probably cod. It came with some fries, which I think were fresh & hand cut & with a small salad & of course tartar sauce. The other food on the table looked good & with good size portions. I highly recommend!

Since 1868 - one of the very oldest establishments in all of NYC. For that alone, even if you are not hungry; even if you don't drink - still worth it to come here & commune w/ the ghosts of the West Side. Thankfully, the food here is great (esp the salads, the wings, the burgers, & the risotto), & as well as the great Guinness pours. Hands down the best pub in Manhattan w/ no close second (sorry McSorely's & Old Town). Friendly, attentive service & original interiors. They are the standard to which everywhere else is Manhattan is measured.

The service here is impeccable. Both the staff and manager were keeping an eye out to what each table needed. The manager was personable and asked people how they were doing. It was a chilly night and we were seated close to the door, so the owner offered to turn on a heating lamp which was nice and toasty. There are few tables here, but the wait wasn't long. We came for St. Patrick's Day hoping to hear live music, but the musician that was supposed to come at 8 either never showed or was drowned out by the crowd at the bar. Most people were standing having drinks, but the table service is slightly divided helps the ambiance. When I sat down the table next to me complimented what I was wearing. They said they were local to the area and the next couple that came in after were friendly as well. It's for sure a fun local spot. I had to have the corned beef and cabbage for tradition which lasted me for two meals. This was a very generous portion and I liked enjoyed the sauce. I wish they offered extra sauce on the side, but the next day it was absorbed into the meat. My family makes this every year, but this is the first time I had it with a parsley cream sauce. The food came out super fast which was great! The only disappointment was there was no Irish Soda Bread to be had. I was really looking forward to some for the holiday. I'll make my own in lieu of not having it, but providing it on the menu with a Kerry Gold butter is an easy upsell, especially on St. Patrick's Day.

Abe is Landmark Tavern. Great times always with nice cocktails, nice chicken stripe and fries, and authentic atmosphere.

This is some of the best shepherds pie I've ever had. This place is the landmark. Literally, the architecture inside is absolutely beautiful. But the food did not disappoint at all and service was good.

Wow this place is an unexpected gem - my expectations were vastly exceeded and the food here is low really really good. The bangers and mash is great. Sausages taste fresh and really high quality and not greasy but pack great flavor. Asian spring rolls? Can't explain why an Irish pub in HK has the best ones in New York but I stand by my claim. The dipping sauces are great too. The homemade vanilla and hazel ice creams capped it off impressively. Fresh hazelnut pieces and creamy without being heavy. The food just low key slaps, and I can't explain how. It's clear that the chef and management genuinely care about the quality of the ingredients and execution of staples.

I love how homey of a feel this place is. Everyone seemed to be feeling comfortable and like they knew the staff. People were sitting at the bar chitchatting and all this was at 4:45 p.m. on a Friday. We had scouted a place mostly for the fish and chips near a mid town location. So we got fish and chips and shepherd'd pie at that table. Fish and chips was great (hot, crisp fish, enough portion), though I think it was catfish which I don't really like. And fries weren't that crisp. The shepherd's pie to me was tasty but I was with some folks who were more familiar with the dish and said it had too much spice compared the how the English do it :) We also got a cheesecake slice which our friendly server recommended was a good choice and so it was. I am not going to say the food was the best, but as far as a reliable Irish Pub that works for some food cravings, this might be on my 'to visit again' list.

Amazing service and great atmosphere and food Such fun good visited them Greet location

Fantastic bar. Abrey was our bartender and he was great. This was the best calamari I've ever had!!

Nothing fancy just a quick drink and burger in and out. Was nice to be in such a historic building with nice character.

Apparently pretty old, being around since 1868. Was in the mood for some Irish food after seeing the recent McDonagh movie. It was "OK", which is the exact text descriptor Yelp uses for 3-stars. Scotch Eggs: Not quite what I was expecting. There was only one egg cut into quarters, despite being listed as Scotch Eggs plural. And the egg itself was thoroughly hardboiled (which, to be fair, was in the menu description) instead of having a runny center as some better made Scotch Eggs can have. Also, the outer sausage layer felt a bit thinner than it should be too. Wouldn't recommend this appetizer. Fish & Chips: Two long pieces of battered fried fish. The flaky white fish was hearty and didn't taste too fishy, which is a good thing. The batter was the right thickness, but felt slightly over-fried. And the "chips" weren't chunky like fish & chips usually are, but seemed like regular rustic skin-on fries. It was ok. Shepherd's Pie: Thick layer of mashed potatoes with a modest amount of ground beef stew mix underneath. Seems pretty heavy on the carrots and peas while being light on the ground beef. Nice sauce though. And I like how the mashed potatoes got a good sear on their peaks.

This is a nice spot around Hudson Yards/ Hells Kitchen. They have TVs for Sports events. There is also an upscale dinner portion. We just ate at the bar and enjoyed a nightcap to the evening. Would come back.

Came here for late lunch while in the area...this place is busy and hopping... Friendly staff and full bar. Weekends are busy especially on a holiday weekend.Was lucky to get a table before having ti wait. The menu is not huge, however it has a variety to choose from. Chicken caesar salad was ok - chicken was a bit dry. Sirloin steak wrap was better and served with fries. Will have to come back to try other items on the menu.

This is old time New York. Their doors opened in 1868 and has continued to serve the community ever since. Located near the cruise ship docks and the USS Intrepid Museum the Landmark Tavern is a jewel. Friendly bartenders and great burgers. They have a full menu it meet most peoples desires. Street parking is pretty easy on the weekends, especially Sunday's. Prices are good, better than most in NYC considering the quality of the food and fine service. The backroom seating area is nice for a more private feel. We enjoy eating at the bar or in the front room where you can do some great people watching. Always entertaining to see what walks past the front door. Rumor has it that the upstairs maybe haunted. According to the Urban Legend a Confederate soldier was killed in a bar brawl and a 19th-century Irish immigrant girl who died from typhoid fever on the premises. Let us know if see any apparitions, specters or ghost orbs during your visit. So far we have not seen anything, but who knows what we will experience when we least expect it.

Delicious Irish comfort food. We had the Shepard's pie and corned beef (served with potatoes and cabbage) delivered via DoorDash. The Shepard's pie had the perfect ratio of flavorful beef, vegetables and perfectly cooked potatoes. I am very particular about my Shepard's pie, and theirs was delicious. The corned beef was tender and flavorful. Potatoes were a little hard. They serve a white gravy rather than a broth, which I requested on the side. It was very good. DoorDash delivered promptly. Will definitely order Shepard's pie and other Irish comfort food from here again.

Wednesday evening and our first day in NYC. We took the boat tour around the island and were walking the streets around the pier. This place was just waiting on us! Great small neighborhood vibe. Shepherds pie was incredible. My wife had the soup of the day and some chicken and pasta dish that was equally awesome. Because we were there we did the chocolate cake with coffee ice cream. Yeah, you should too! Service was ok, not spectacular. Maybe she was the only waitress working so I'm not judging. Anyway, great spot! Not touristy.

This is my go to local bar in Hell's Kitchen. Service and hospitality is great! Bartenders are always very friendly and will initiate conversations with you (love Don, Abe, Mike, Pete, Luis). I always come in and welcomed with a big smile. I love the specials there and posted a pic. Best salmon I've had in a long time. Great thing about out their food is the portion size and just great quality food.

This was a cool bar we stopped into for a few drinks. It gives a great neighborhood pub vibe and has cool decor and ambience. It also wasn't crowded at all on a weekend evening so a quieter spot in the middle of the city if you're looking for a chill vibe. The bartender was friendly and chatted with us periodically. He even offered some advice for getting around the city since we were visiting from Orlando. I had a couple of perfectly poured pints of Guinness and a couple shots of Jameson. Overall, great pub to relax and enjoy some drinks. We didn't have any food on this visit, but what I saw others getting looked and smelled yummy. Hopefully I will find myself back in NYC sooner rather than later and will definitely stop back in for food and drinks!

This looks and feels like a traditional Irish pub, but they raise the bar when it comes to the food. Excellent service, large menu, generous portions deliciously prepared, and subdued ambience with charm. We came in with a group of eight and were immediately welcomed and accommodated. Bangers and mash was the best I've had, and salmon better than most.

Great local tavern near an office I visit on occasion. A lot of character in this bar which opened its doors in 1868. Tin ceiling, mosaic tile and wood floors. Bustling spot with reasonably priced cocktails and food. A large group dropped in for a quick happy hour. Seating at the bar, tables inside and out. Friendly bartender.....hoping for more meetings in the area.

Six of us met here for an early dinner; it was outstanding ! One of the best hamburgers I've had in months; excellent fries; excellent wings; excellent fish & chips. Good beer selection too!

Excellent service. Beautiful pub. Fine and spicy chips. Delicious beer both Guinness and Smithwick. Great experience

Great.Pub in Hell's Kitchen. Just feels right. Historic building with the perfect vibe of old New York. Food is consistently good. Friendly staff. What a pub should be....

A great Irish Pub and one of the oldest continuing operating restaurants in NYC. Built in 1868, this building just breathes history. The fish and chips were awesome and my wife loved her amoretto sour. Service was outstanding as well. Highly recommend this place - just one block from the USS Intrepid Museum.

Service was quite poor. We were a four person group seated at a table and ordered drinks and perusing the menu, decided to wait a little to order food and were told to sit at the bar. Once at the bar we order food and realize the bar is very slanted and uncomfortable for eating. We are playing cards at the bar while waiting for the food and told we can't play cards after having been playing for 15-20 min so mid game. Initially asked for the bread since it's advertised as complimentary but I wouldn't mind paying for it. Asked for it and the bartender nods. We're waiting a while for food and then it comes out I asked about the bread or rather reminded the bartender and he says oh bread is only for entrees not for appetizers. The food was good I will say, I will definitely be back but not tipping generously. I also will add it was not a crowded time just a few groups but there was one group that was quite loud and rowdy and this is at 5pm. Just surprising we were told to not quietly play cards but that other group was quite obnoxiously loud and let be.

Working late and had a fish and chips jones tonite. Remembered having fish and chips from this place over 5 years, so I ordered it again for delivery. It appears they haven't missed a beat. They charge $21, which you would think is insane, but you get 2 full whole fillets, fries, and a small salad. Side of vinegar, tartar sauce, and ketchups along with dijon mustard and mayo to add to your collection of condiments. The taste was spot on and well worth the price!

I cannot say enough about the experience we had at Landmark Tavern. I worked with Donnchadh (pronounced Dunn-uh-kuh for those of you not nuanced in the Irish language ) to plan a 70th birthday party for my mom. I live in Baltimore and we had family traveling in from several states and from Ireland to attend so it was really important to get it right. We initially really wanted to have the shindig in the main bar area so that we'd have the atmosphere and ambience from the other guests, but due to the timing, it wouldn't work for the restaurant. Having been there now, I understand why, and the upstairs room actually turned out to be PERFECT for our party. There was a small alcove just inside the door that our band set up in, a bathroom upstairs, and a landing right before the room with hooks to hang up coats. The staff had the tables set and ready with festive and bright poinsettias when we got there and we had a dedicated server who was lovely. Donnchadh made himself available to me via email throughout the planning period and any hiccups were quickly resolved. I could not have been happier with how things turned out-the food was great (the potato leek soup was my fave!) the service was good, the ambience was terrific and my mom was so surprised and pleased as punch at the end of it all. If you're considering the Landmark, whether it be for a quick bite, a pint of Guinness, or a private event, please do give them a ring-and be ready for a wonderful time!

Several years ago, I had an unpleasant experience at this restaurant, so we reluctant to go back. But I was in the area and decided to give it a try. I am VERY glad that I did!!!!!! The menu was quite varied, and I had a tough time deciding which dish to order. Our waitress was very helpful in describing the dishes and helping me to decide. I ordered a delicious drink, and when I finished it, the new owner happened to be nearby. A very charming gent, and he offered me a freebie drink which I declined, but I appreciated the thought. I had called the restaurant on my way over to check on how crowded they were, and he had answered the phone. He recognized my voice and spent quite a while chatting with us. Although we had been having a great time, his hospitality made our visit all the more fun. The food was delicious and cooked to perfection! We wish we had room for the desserts, as they sounded phenomenal. However, our main dishes were quite generous portions, so we had no room. I would definitely go back if I were in the neighborhood. I would even go out of my way to visit again!!!!

I got a super fast delivery order of fish and chips, and a Shepherds Pie. The fish and chips were plentiful and excellent. The fish consisted of two large flaky, moist fillets with a nice breading, and delicious homemade tarter sauce. The fries were a little soggy as in basically all delivery orders. The Shepherds Pie was unbelievable...the best that I can remember ever eating. Everything was packed well and arrived hot. I have eaten inside, as well, and it is a classic worth a visit. Highly recommended.

Perfect place to go on St Patrick's Day! I'm sure we wouldn't have had an Irish prayer if it weren't for this crazy pandemic! We had a wonderful time. Loved the whole experience! Fish and chips... that's the way to go, lass!! Share the Shepherd pie-- it's heavy. The lamb chops were excellent ! Loved our evening here!

Yummy lunch within walking distance of the museum. We were greeted warmly and seated before a big rush. The food was great. I had the sirloin burger and my husband had the fish and chips. My favorite part was the classic glass bottle of Heinz Ketchup. The decor is neat and you can tell this place is a great place to spend St Paddy's Day but have a classy dinner as well. The bathrooms were clean along with the rest of the restaurant. Prices were very reasonable and the service was quick.

Found this place on Google Maps. Amazing service great food and an all around great Irish bar experience

Tried this place out after visiting the Intrepid just a couple of blocks away. Charming-looking place, nice bar, dining area was cozy. Very friendly and prompt service. Ordered from the bar menu, we had fish & chips and a shepherd's pie. Shepherd's pie was just OK, fish & chips not up to the quality I would expect from an Irish pub. Fries were greasy and soggy and very difficult to eat. Prices were reasonable, we got out of there under $70 with a cocktail and tip included. We looked around and saw some other menu items on tables that looked good - so maybe we'll return one day and try something else, but this visit was a definite miss.

Excellent!!! I had the chicken rotollini and he had the cheeseburger. We also shared the lobster ravioli I. All were excellent. The highlights were the dipping sauce fir the fries as well as the chicken. The risotto was also good but maybe slightly underdone. The flavor was great though! Great atmosphere. Upscale tavern with nice drinks and food. Waitstaff was incredibly friendly and quick. Would recommend.

Being from Ireland, I normally avoid Irish pubs in the city, but as I was joining a walking tour, which was meeting outside the pub, I decided to have lunch there. The tavern had a homely, relaxed atmosphere - the staff were welcoming and the service was very good. I ordered the fish and chips and it arrived very quickly, piping hot and delicious. The tavern was really good value for money compared to numerous restaurants in the city and I intend to go back there for dinner before I fly home. I liked that it wasn't trying too hard to be Irish, but had the ambiance and charm often lacking in other Irish pubs, who are all shamrock and leprechauns, with very little authenticity.

If you're looking for a stellar bartender, look no further than Abe. From the moment you step up to the bar, you're greeted with a warm smile and genuine interest in what you're craving. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, Abe will take great care of you with ease and professionalism. This was our first visit to the Landmark Tavern but certainly won't be our last.

Friendly staff. Unique Irish pub atmosphere and food. Generous portion of fish & chips.

I've lived in Hell's Kitchen for about 30 years and at least once or twice a year I end up at Landmark Tavern with friends from the hood because, well, it's a classic hangout and it's nearby and convenient to all of us. The block it's on has always been a bit sketchy but the comfort of being in a traditional bar in an ambiance that feels like you've been transported back to the old country makes it worth the slightly unnerving walk to 11th Avenue. Probably every other time I'm there I foolishly order the fish & chips because it's one of my favorite dishes and I've had it all over the world, including in the UK where good fish & chips are as common as a good hamburger in the U.S. And every time I get it I'm reminded that the fish is invariably soft and mushy, to the point that it slides out of the breading. Good fish & chips starts with firm fish and for years Landmark Tavern keeps serving mushy fish, as if it's intentional, and I don't get it. It's more like eating mashed potatoes than breaded fish. One of my friends in our group said, "Oh, yeah. I never get the fish & chips. A Filet-O-Fish from McDonalds is better than Landmark's fish & chips." How can that be?! Also, the fries it comes with are soggy, wilting, and cold. And their fries have always been soggy, wilting, and cold -- so that's not an accident either. Again, McDonald's fries are far superior! Making decent, firm, maybe even crispy fries and serving them hot is a no-brainer, and not difficult to do. LT has had 150 years to get the fish & chips and fries right -- it's time for the owner to get his head pulled out and really consider why he keeps serving what are arguably the worst fries I've had anywhere, in or out of the city. Who wants soggy, cold fries -- with anything? The answer is no one! Other than the marginal food, the bar, the drinks, the beer selection, the ambiance, and the service are just great. Go to LT for the feng shui, NOT the food. This is the last time I'm ordering food at Landmark. They just don't care enough about returning customers to get it right.

Landmark is the best Irish pub in Manhattan and well worth the trip to seemingly distant 11th Avenue. The owners Michael and Donnchadh are really decent people and always make time to talk to the tourists and locals. There's zero attitude here. Fantastic bangers and mash, fish and chips and burgers.

Walked by many times and finally stopped in today. The potato leek soup was delicious. Our favorite was the Fish and Chips, the fish was airy and moist and not greasy. The Shepherd's Pie was also good but needed a bit more salt. Finished the meal with an Irish Coffee with lovely fresh cream and a good bit of whiskey. Of course loved the atmosphere and the staff was friendly. We will be back again!

Excellent Irish pub that calls you back for more. A most Happy St Patrick's day to all who read this post and God Bless America!
