We stayed round the corner to this bar, was our favourite the whole trip. Welcoming and warm, nicely lit place, good choice of drinks which considering its location were very reasonable too. Staff were great too. Didn't have food but I saw plates coming out and it looked really good.

Took some notes when I visited here on September 12, 2020 at 4:00 PM. My party and I were seated outdoors in this nice little alleyway where there wasn't much foot traffic around the restaurant. There were only a couple other parties besides mine eating outdoors so it didn't feel too busy and so the outdoor atmosphere was calming and the nice weather was a great bonus. The waitress was also very nice and attentive. As for the food, everything looked and tasted pretty good! Two minor things that I would want them to improve on is for them to season their vegetables! A little bit of salt, black pepper, and/or butter can go a long way to make cooked vegetables taste a little bit better (otherwise they're completely flavorless!). Obviously this draws away from the healthiness of the vegetables, but when cooked vegetables are not seasoned well and paired with a steak and fries, I can't help but desire just a little bit of more flavor. Another thing I took note of was their Coke/Pepsi (I didn't write down which one), tasted VERY watered down which was especially surprising because it didn't even contain much ice. I asked for a refill at some point and the second one also tasted very watered down, so maybe their soda fountain wasn't mixing properly or something, but I didn't deem it as something worth making a complaint about. Overall, the food and the service was great and those two things I mentioned are definitely not enough to drop their rating down a full star. I enjoyed eating here regardless and will return again soon to try other items on their menu.

The service here was great and fast. Really enjoyed all the dishes we ordered, and of course enjoyed the Guinness.

Nice Irish pub located in downtown, New York City. We've been there twice and the experience was amazing. Staffing was so lovely with us both times. Food is amazing - first time we've had the Ref Snapper, a special in the menu that was delicious. Good variety of draft beers, and a lovely atmosphere.

Great find when I went down to take the ferry. The service was excellent and the food and drinks were even better. This was probably one of the best French onion soups ever! I couldn't have been happier with brown cheese on top and the rich flavor. Also they make their own jalapeño pineapple infused tequila. WOW, just WOW. incredible fresh flavor. The margarita made with it was impeccable. I even might try to make some on my own after talking to them. Definitely check this place out

A pretty chill spot in the neighborhood with affordable prices. We’ve only been on weekends for lunch, and there are always seats available. It’s quiet with a relaxed vibe, so you can actually have a conversation without yelling over noise. I usually go for the burgers, but I tried something from the brunch menu last time and it was pretty solid too.

We booked in as a family party of ten on Christmas Eve, visiting from Liverpool and Belfast. All the food was excellent and served promptly. I had the buffalo chicken wrap, which was a fresh, crisp and tangy buffalo chicken mouthful of deliciousness. Our server (whose name escapes me sadly) was friendly and attentive, keeping our drinks topped up. I can highly recommend Ryan Maguire's, and thank you so much for a wonderful Christmas Eve!
