Wolfe Tone's Irish Pub & Kitchen Reviews

Great bar/restaurant. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Jessie was a great laugh and great company at the bar as well as helping me out with a few hints and tips.

We were offered free drinks in this bar, and it covered the beers we bought more drinks but found them very expensive, which whilst you expect in a big city the service was abysmal never went back and will not on our return to New York

Fantastic atmosphere. Very good staff who care about this business. Will visit again next time in NY. Next door to our hotel made to feel very welcome.

A charming and cozy Irish pub, perfect for enjoying drinks or meals, featuring pleasant music, a relaxed atmosphere, reasonable prices, and friendly staff, all in a convenient location.

We didn’t have food so can’t comment there. Guinness was very good, bar staff were very friendly and attentive would prefer to see it during a busier period we went in Sunday lunchtime

We visited this bar for drinks and also breakfast and an evening meal. Great selection of drinks and a really good Irish breakfast. Friendly staff and it was a place you can sit watch the sport and chat with other visitors or locals. A very reasonably priced and welcoming watering hole in a central location.

Ate there because it was close to our hotel. Great beer menu, but food was jus so-so. Service was very good. Price pretty reasonable for NYC.

We came upon this wonderful Pub by accident and boy were we glad. Our quick week long return trip to NYC was great. The best part of the trip was enjoying this wonderful Pub. As soon as you walk in front door you are warmly welcomed. Jade the manager could not have been nicer. Bartenders Adam and Katie are master mixologists. I certainly enjoyed my martini and my partner loved the Black & Tan and Black Smith. The food is over the top. Hamburger sliders prepared a medium rare and the chicken tenders delicious. I enjoyed a wonderful steak and a tasty peppercorn sauce. Out of our 7 days in NYC we visited WolfeTones 4 times. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Wonderful little oasis of calm in Manhattan. Went there last night visiting from London on a work trip. Had a good time talking to the bartenders and proprietor. Class Irish music, and best pint of Guinness I’ve had in New York.

Large choice of beers in this typical New York Irish bar. It has a large menu and looks to have many regulars, which is always a good thing.

Enjoyed calling in here on our last visit to the city last year so had to call in again this year. Lovely staff and nice beer selection. We also shared a plate of nachos which were delicious. Great, reasonably priced bar. Don't miss it.

I met some coworkers here for a beer after a meeting and it was a fun place. It's smalI, you can't get lost but I enjoyed a stone IPA($8) and service was good. Great woodwork and fun atmosphere.

Great Irish bar with friendly bartenders and a great atmosphere. My partner and I shared a small plate, slow cooked short rib mac & cheese this was so delicious and so filling that I chose for my main the Brooklyn Burrata salad, my partner really enjoyed slow cooked short rib with mash and vegetables. I would recommend trying this bar I would go again in NYC again.

Loved this place so much it had an amazing vibe and the staff were so lovely. Big shout out to Alex Katie and Aoife!!! They were very sweet.

We had a lovely meal at this pub as we were staying next door, however, the drinks werent the best, dare I say they tasted watered down, especially the Stella Artois.

My husband and I were in town for the Big 10 Basketball game.After a fabulous game(Sunday) We were ready to head home to MA. Decided on a quick lunch before the long drive. We discovered Wolfe Tones and immediately felt comfortable. Will greeted us as we scouted out 2 perfect spots at the bar. As Ireland is one of our favorite vacations spots we loved that Will was from county Meade- we can't wait to return. We asked for a "must have" lunch suggestion and Will immediately suggested the Irish Chicken Curry. OMG it was delicious! One of our favorite meals of our trip. Large enough for my husband and I to share. It came with choice of French Fries or Rice or and option of 1/2 and 1/2. Perfect amount of curry, not too over powering - just right! My husband started with a bowl of Cream of Broccoli Soup. Perfect! Not the thick floury, overly cheesy soup-that is like paste. This was delish!!!

My wife and I drank and ate here three times on a recent NYC holiday. The Angus Burgers are to die for, the beer is good and the staff friendly and professional. Our favourite bar.

In town for a business trip and stumbled upon this hidden gem. From the street, it looks welcoming with its tricolor flags, and well decorated façade. Walk inside, and you are not disappointed. A full-size, full service bar. A dining room with enough to seat a decent lunch crowd. The drinks are cold and plentiful, and the food, hot and well portioned. You won't be disappointed! The staff is super friendly! No, I wasn't paid to say all this… LOL!!

Gorgeous Irish bar. We were in Manhattan for six nights and we ate here twice and had drinks. The food was really good. It was tasty, hot and well presented. The service was friendly and responsive. Lovely place and we will definitely be back.

Wolfe Tones was practically next door to our hotel The Redbury and became our NYC "local". Nice low key atmosphere, decent happy hour and friendly, helpful bar staff. Great for a couple of cold beers after a roasting day being a tourist. Food is very good too. I'd recommend the Strip Steak with mash to anybody!

Brilliant little place. Irish owned and run. Great service. Friendly smile. Decent food. Well priced. Great location. Open late. It's a good place for a few beers and to watch the game or just chill out and have a crack. Defo worth a drink or two if you're in the area.

I came here for a casual lunch with a friend and wasn't disappointed. Service was friendly and prompt and our small plates (mussels and fish tacos) were delicious 😋 - So was my midday cocktail! I enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and would love to return to check out their live music!

Went here on the night we arrived, literally just across the street th the left of the main entrance. Great iris bar, friendly and helpful staff, always up for a chat and the food was great. Prices are very reasonable, great little find which became a pre drink before our nights out and maybe on return

My spouse and I stopped at Wolfe Tone’s Irish Pub and Kitchen for happy hour on a Saturday in mid-January 2017. We stayed nearby in the NoMad neighborhood (across East 29th Street at the Gansevoort Park Avenue) and noticed the pub’s interesting sign and awning. Wolfe Tone’s, which began operating in 2015, is open daily from lunchtime until late. The pub is named for Theobald Wolfe Tone (also known simply as “Wolfe Tone”), who was a leading Irish revolutionary, a founder of the United Irishmen, the father of Irish Republicanism, and a leader of the 1798 Irish Rebellion. The darkish space features a long two-segment bar (where every seat offers its own charging station), a counter on the opposite wall that offers additional seating/standing, and a dining area at the back (which contains wood tables and chairs and a cozy fake fireplace). Several TVs broadcast sporting events. Wolf Tone’s offers 15+ beers are on tap, plus bottled beer, cocktails, and wine. Happy hour specials are offered daily. The menu offers Irish and American food (including shepherd’s pie, bangers and mash, fish and chips, and burgers and fries), including an all-day Irish breakfast and brunch on the weekends. We shared the pigs in a blanket, which seemed more home-made than others we have eaten. I also tried the Magners Irish Cider (I am a fan of Angry Orchard and Stella Artois Cidre), but I found it had an odd taste. (The female bartender served it in a warm glass, which may have affected the flavor.) Wolfe Tone’s fit our needs as a comfortable laid-back place to enjoy a drink and a bite to eat.

Friendly place, great Guinness, wine and Aperol Spritz. Made us feel really welcome and even had a pint of the black stuff on the house!

Great spot to grab a drink and casual eats before an event at the Madison Square Garden. I had a very tasty chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries which was very filling. My buddy had the Shepard’s Pie, which he thought was average. With a couple of drinks and tip the bill came to $72. We sat at the bar and the bartender was attentive.

A surprisingly great find. Very nice pub, comfortable and quaint. The fish and chips were excellent. The staff was friendly and attentive.

We stayed next door in the Red Bury which was convenient for us as the food was great and suited me and my partner as we are both fussy eaters.. 😩 The Atmosphere was great when the place was packed and tranquil when no one was in. 🤗 All round we enjoyed each meal and would highly recommend a visit if your heading to New York. Take away is also an option which was handy with the hotel being so close. 🤗

This is one of the new pubs - recently opened and celebrated their grand opening last week!. Great selection of draft beers, good 'pub grub' and very friendly atmosphere!. Congrats to the owners and staff for making this a great 'go to' bar for the after work and the 'night out with friends' crowds!!

This was the pub next door to my hotel on my anniversary weekend with my wife. Each night it was a great last stop for pub food, beer and conversation in a relaxed environment.

Went to have a full Irish breakfast as advertised. Service was so slow. Over 1 hour to get someone to take our orders. Over 1/2 hour for the food to get to us. Not impressed. Food was decent but the sausage was not Irish.

We were walking back from Soho and came across this little gem!! Lovely welcoming staff, great food and atmosphere. Thank you, Marc and Hayley, the Leeds fans, Marching On Together

Nice and relaxed place .. very good service .. love the beers here .. especially bitburger.. finger food is good .. overall a good place to hang out for few drinks ...

Stayed at the Royalton Park Avenue for a week on a family vacation. Arrived a little early for check in so virtually opposite was Wolfe Tone’s which looked welcoming . Great first impressions continued throughout the week as we popped in most days around our city excursions before returning to the hotel. Food , drinks and service was excellent. A big shout out to Rosanna for recommending Rocco Steakhouse featured in previous review ! Highly recommended and hope to be back next year .

Amazing food and even better bartenders. Love a good Irish pub and this is one of the best I have ever found. Jade and Breifne are very welcoming and I can’t wait to come back

Enjoyed a late evening dinner here. Allan was on his own at the bar and serving the restaurant tables. He was very friendly and provided excellent service. The food was fast and good. Very nice experience and definitely recommend.

Popped in Sunday afternoon as had a train to get from Penn. By myself and the owner couldn’t of been more hospitable. Best pint of Guinness I had in NYC and food was just what was needed. Went in for one stayed for 3, that’s what you want from a bar.

What a great find on our travels being a first time traveller to NYC ..! We arrived at a quiet time just before lunch on a fab Sunday .. greeted by a lovely friendly Irish Lady called Katie ...she really is a credit to Wolfe Tones , she advised us of the best places to visit and likewise advised us well on the beautiful menu available ... on this occasion as it was early we only had the Vegetarian Nachos but we had plenty of sampling of their vast array of Draught and Prosecco ! i will happily recommend this place to my friends and family on their travels ... im only sorry we didn't find it earlier in our trip !

Best pub in NYC thanks to Aron and Adam! Welcoming atmosphere lovely staff and great experience. Thank you so much! We stayed near and this was our base.

Great service!!!! Delicious food, the burger and buffalo wrap were the best I've had in New York! Will definitely be back.

My mom and I had a girls long weekend in NYC for Christmas and this pub was next to the hotel we stayed at. We came here every day except one and loved every minute! For sports fans, they played NFL football, basketball and soccer while we were there. They also put the sound on for certain games. The music is controlled by an electronic jukebox and people can choose the music. I read other reviews laughing about the music choices but we loved every minute. All the locals and tourists were friendly as well as the bartenders. Shane was our favorite bartender and we were bummed we didn't get a chance to visit with him again for lunch before we went to the airport. For food-I got their special soup one night and they even had a limited selection open for Christmas. We will be back for sure on our next trip to NYC!

Wolfe Tone’s Irish Pub & Kitchen We visited Wolfe Tone’s looking forward to trying something new. The experience was mixed. We ordered the house burger, and honestly, I’d rate it a 5/10 — the patty was small compared to the bun, there was no sauce, and it was quite dry. I’ve had much better burgers elsewhere. On the other hand, the cocktails were the highlight of the night. We had a margarita on the rocks and the house Old Fashioned — both were absolutely delicious! The Old Fashioned was smoky and perfectly balanced. We also tried the Negroni from the happy hour, and it was well-crafted. For drinks, it’s a solid 10/10. The atmosphere is great, with good music and a cozy vibe. The bathrooms were clean, and while the service was friendly, it was a bit slow, especially when it came to the food. Conclusion: I wouldn’t come back for the food, but I’d definitely return for the cocktails. Perfect spot to enjoy a good drink and chill.

I did the WB Yeats appreciation night. And the pub provided wonderful food for the event. The owners Derek and Joe are personable and hands on. Have your party here, you wont be sorry. Gabriel Donohue Traveler all over the world. Musician/producer.

I found this place and I'm so glad I did, helpful friendly staff with good product knowledge. The place is spotless and I felt at home the minute I arrived, They have a happy hour and display reasonable judgement on charging as it finishes. Location is good and I reccomend and I will certainly visit on my next trip to NYC

Popped in for a couple of pre-curry beers and ended up having 5. It was happy hour after all and the Sam Adams Boston Lager was excellent. Timmy the barman was very friendly. I'll be back next time I'm in NYC.

This is a fabulous pub! With great food and drinks, the staff is superb. It was just steps from our hotel, a great stop for drinks and a bedtime snack after a busy day. The place is clean, comfortable and safe. Wish I could remember names, but an exceptional waitress from Florida, who was so attentive and treated one of our companions to her birthday cake drink, vanilla vodka, frangellico and a bite of lemon ..yup chocolate cake..YUM. All employees were exceptional. Thank you. Heidi McComiskey

Visited here following a visit to 230 5th Avenue . Quieter than many Irish bars . Plenty of space although quite late in the evening .

The atmosphere was very nice, the beers were great and the food was ok. Shame that we felt cheated on the price we had to pay. We were charged 20% extra for service charges, not mentioned in the pricelist or anywhere else. Sorry to leave a nice place with a bad feeling, will not return to this place.

A good place to chill,without seeking a place round there.. nice food, great beer,top place! Great the guy who served us! Grazie ragazzo!

called in a couple of time the guy running the bar Irish chap couldnt do enough for us lovely food if you want good quick food while on the go a must if staying local to it

I happen to drop into Wolfe Tone's whenever I am in New York. Not that it is very spectacular - a stylish Anglo Irish pud setting similar to what you can see in Europe, the difference is in the number of TV screens. But there is a great local climate there, good drinks, very friendly staff and real feel of local Manhattan. Food is not bad, tried a couple of times and it was good enough. They have some collection of single malts, itherwise not so popular in NYC.

This new entry in the Manhatten Irish restaurant race hits the mark. It is fresh and sleek yet comfortable with a nice assortment of beers, excellent grub and friendly , professional staff. It is somewhat away from the usual location of these types of establishments which is good if you're in that area but it isnt too far off the beaten path so as to make it inaccessible and difficult to reach. Say hello to Malachy the gregarious , welcoming and ever smiling host.

Typical bar meal but food was good. Wide range of beers. Pleasant and attentive staff. On day of visit the a/c had pacjed-up but these things happen. Large TV sports - bar facilities were great. Good for a change from more formal dining.

Great people and really friendly! Felt Like a local in a big city! Great bar staff and good drinks thanks for being so friendly!

Typical Irish Bar. Nothing fancy. Standard wooden tables and chairs, no upholstery. But the menu was good. Again, nothing fancy, just 'real' food. Service was good, the food arrived quickly, it was piping hot and the portion size was good. And the price was very good for NYC - I don't think anything was over $20. Highly recommended and I would definitely go again.

Fantastic atmosphere! The owner Derek and his bar staff are very friendly and welcoming We also are her on a few occasions throughout our stay The food was homemade and tasty I had the shepherds pie my husband the full Irish breakfast Both fantastic!!! We will definitely be back !! Thank you for your hospitality Derek

We went here as next to hotel. Food was good but we were only people there as soon as others came in we were overlooked and even had difficulty paying the bill as too busy not a great place

Clean, ultra friendly. Great drinks and simply the best food. Much try for all. Don't be tempted to visit others nearby come here you will not be disappointed. Had the best meal ever. Even has a happy hours!!!

Spent an evening in a decent bar with friendly staff. Really good food and good atmosphere, so worth a stop in.. sat at the bar

Breitne is amazing! Great service and attentiveness! He made sure our beers were cold and drinks were full. Come check this place out!

Lovely Irish pub with friendly, welcoming staff. Worth a visit if you are in the area. Reasonable prices for the drinks.

Nice enough bar but 2 drinks came to 21 dollars which put us off a 2nd visit. The bar is next to Redbury Hotel but it is cheaper to drink in the hotel surprisingly.

One thing about this pub, forby the availability of Guiness, is the amount of television screens ranged behind the serving area. Great for sports fans.

This was quiet the twice we visited. They served us bar food which was tasty. Staff very friendly. It gets busy late at night.

wonderful place - staff are warm and friendly, food is gorgeous, drinks reasonably priced. It's warm and spotlessly clean - great atmosphere in there. we spent New year's Eve in there and we had a great night. Highly Recommend the place

Visited several times last month for drinks and once for a late lunch on the day we flew home. Great friendly Irish bar with a lovely atmosphere and a great midweek music playlist. Friendly Irish staff and we also met some friendly regulars who were up for a chat and a bit of banter. We had a great late lunch before heading to the airport with Mrs Jock going for the Crispy Chicken Burger and I went for the Wolfe Burger which was huge and absolutely delicious. Again the staff were very friendly and chatty and there was a happy hour which made the drinks even better value for money. Great friendly bar when going for drinks and ideal when looking for good bar food as well in a lovely cosy friendly atmosphere. We will definitely return the next time we are in New York.

We stayed at The Redbury but nipped into the bar next door for a cheeky drink. We ended up ordering food and I can honestly say the steak was amazing. It was cooked to perfection and served with a delicious Peppercorn Sauce, mash and broccoli. Thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere and the music played.

Service is good even when busy. A spot where locals drop by after work so the turnover of customers is quite rapid. Recommend their burgers and fries for a quick lunch. A busy yet cosy atmosphere for a pre dinner or pre bedtime drink.

We spent a fair amount of time in this little Gem - food was lovely. Will def visit on my next trip.

Great bar with great staff, very welcoming with good food, Donegal staff are serious craic, will definitely be back😊

Good food and polite, efficient service with good prices. A couple of issues present. The bannister on the stairs to the washrooms is not up to code. The first few steps on the 90 degree turn as you head down have no Bannister so a fall would be pretty easy, especially after a few drinks. My wife advises that neither of the stall doors in the ladies room close. It appears as if a lot of money was invested in this area of the restaurant on fixtures etc. so an inexpensive repair such as this should not be a problem.

We stayed at the hotel next door and went to Wofe Tone's for a bit to eat. It was after midnight and they had a small late hours menu. Good food and drinks and GREAT SERVICE! I would recommend if you were nearby.

Great little Irish Pub with authentic Irish food, great drinks, excellent desserts and friendly service. A must visit in NYC.

This is our third visit to Wolf Tones. Great friendly staff, drinks are lovely & the guac is the best!

very accommodating HAD A GREAT steak, Shepherd's pie, and Irish Guinness stew Was not rushed and good relaxing atmoshere

Met up with a few friends on a Friday night at around 6:30. The place was almost empty. Not sure if that was a good sign, but none of us wanted to deal with the crowds in other similar midtown spots. Plus, it was happy hour until 7. I was trying to be semi-good, but I really didn't want another salad since I had been eating salads all week, so I went with the Falafel Wrap (hummus, red onion, cucumber, tomatoes, pickled cabbage). It comes with your choice of a side salad or french fries. I went with the salad, even though I REALLY wanted the fries. But I did steal a few (and by a few, I mean many) of the fries that came with the burger that my BF had ordered, which were great. The wrap wasn't bad but I wish it had more falafel in it. I felt like I was eating mostly a veggie wrap. I'm sure I just ordered the wrong thing. I wouldn't mind coming back and trying one of their unhealthier options. (I'm looking at you, Philly Cheesesteak with French Fries).

Wolfe Tone's was absolutely FABULOUS on Marathon Sunday! Derek was such a pleasure to work with in the weeks before our big day and he and the entire staff took such great care of us and our family and friends post-race! They truly went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable, well-fed, and never without a drink! The location is also great, it was easy for everyone to get to and for everyone to go home from (so close to Grand Central and the 6 train!) One of the best pints of Guinness I've had outside of Ireland, such a cozy atmosphere and incredible staff members. Classic Irish pub food, which everybody loved! The classics are classics for a reason, and they were very well done. I’ve also had dinner here on a regular night, and it’s just as good! Great pub fare, generous portions, and a really relaxed, friendly vibe. It’s not just a perfect event spot, it’s a great place for an everyday meal too. I am so grateful to Wolfe Tone's for being a great, reasonably priced, delicious, comfy and cozy place to celebrate post-race. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to host any kind of event. We had a great time, great food and great memories. Thank you so much Wolfe Tone's!

After failing to book an evening meal early enough at our hotel next door or at Tavern29 we were delighted, having expected an IRA-friendly unwelcome to meet a lovely, lively atmosphere, excellent drinks and food. Delightful expat Irish waitress and very quick, efficient service

what a great place to dine and drink, the hospitality of the staff/owners was amazing. the food is fantastic and reasonably priced. we were in New York for 6 days and spent four days here for lunch and evening food. i cant rate this place enough... thank you all for a wonderful time. from Gary, Lorraine, Kev and Dilley. All the best!

Visited quite a few times on our stay in new york as our hotel was close by. Every time the staff were very friendly and made you feel welcome. Nice ambiance and also showed live sports

Dropped in for lunch while on a trip to New York. Staff were very welcoming and attentive. We had a very tasty lunch which was very fresh and well presented. Looking forward to going back there again.

This was our first trip the NYC, and Wolfe Tone's was located directly across from our hotel (The Royalton). We decided to check out the food and drinks our first night, and fell in love with the staff and the bangers & mash! Devony, Angel, Chelsea, Steven, and Ian took care of us on our anniversary and my wife's birthday. Drinks & food were fantastic and conversation was fun! We stayed in NYC 5 nights, and Wolfe Tone's quickly became our neighborhood bar. Thanks for making our stay in NYC memorable!! We will see you again...

went here twice on our visit in NY and it was reasonable in price, friendly staff and great food ! we had sliders and tacos and they came out fast and the drinks were spot on .

Found this place right next door to the hotel we were staying. Irish pub and extremely friendly staff and would definitely recommend going here. The food is pretty awesome too.

Great to pop in and have a beer. The drinks are good and the staff helpful. Didn't get to eat but those who were eating looked like they enjoyed their food. Open until 4am.

We actually stopped in here twice. The first stop, I had a chicken sandwich, which was very good! My husband opted for a more traditional dish of bangers and mash, which was also quite enjoyable. We were there at lunchtime and found it humorous that we were in an Irish Pub and the music playing was rap/hip hop. We stopped in late another evening and again, found the music selection interesting...country. Once again, I opted for a non-traditional Irish dish...hummus. It was FANTASTIC! The pita served with it was soft and flavorful. This little dive bar did not disappoint with their food!

Nice pub with good mixed crowd. Wasn't too busy when I was there but then it's probably a quiet time of year. Still shocked at the cost of a glass of wine in new York but this place is no worse than the rest

Loud, friendly, welcoming - first impressions. Irish cider - MAGNERS. We had a meal and was served quickly and by Jesse. All very friendly.

Sad to say this was not a good last event during family trip to Manhattan. We were 1 of 3 tables on a Sunday and service was delayed. Brunch plates looked nice but potatoes were cold, rashers and bread tasted like gas from the flame, and coffee very weak. The highlight was Nadia, our lovely server, and a Guinness well poured

Service was attentive. Food was ok for pub food. Shame that extra charges are put on the tab. Personally 3 fish and chips and 3 ciders for $90 is expensive. Won't return.
