What to do and see in Midtown, New York (NY): The Best Bars & Clubs

February 5, 2022 Vergie Nakamoto

Conquering New York in one visit is impossible. Instead, hit the must-sees – the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art – and then explore off the beaten path with visits to The Cloisters or one of the city’s libraries. Indulge in the bohemian shops of the West Village or the fine dining of the Upper West Side. The bustling marketplace inside of Grand Central Station gives you a literal taste of the best the city has to offer.

Great lounge. Well crafted cocktails and great whiskey selection. Wide array of cigars including house brands. No walk in. Cigars are expensive but if you buy one you can smoke your own. Must visit for any cigar smoker.

If you are visiting New York for the day, or if you've lived here for years, come and join us for a hearty lunch, dinner or maybe a cold pint after work. This is a place where you can relax - where the atmosphere is warm, the people lively and the food appetizing. A true Irish American bar and restaurant.

Conveniently located in the heart of the Theater District, just minutes from Rockefeller Centre and St. Patrick's Cathedral. Our dining room is situated on the second floor and is richly decorated with wood paneling and a large selection of Irish playwrights and Broadway memorabilia. Windows overlook 7th Avenue and provide a people watching experience - Its New York you can see it all. We provide an inviting experience, offering Irish, American and continental cuisine. Daily specials and prix - fixe available daily with brunch available on Saturday and Sunday. Live traditional Irish American Folk Music every night at 9pm. Stop in - you won't be disappointed.

We happened upon this bar whilst walking around near 5th Avenue looking for a spot of 'no fuss' lunch. The bar had a decent Vegetarian/Vegan offering and as non red meat eating people this was great. The Vegetarian burger was really good, the service was good and the pricing very reasonable - would recommend

O'Lunney's Times Square Pub

Reviewed By brandim3110 - Lynchburg, United States

After a delayed train and missed dinner reservations, this restaurant offered excellent food and friendliness at the end of a busy day. The host staff, every server, and the owner himself treated us like welcome guests for our post-theater dinner. Each of us got a different dish and each was great and well-presented. The dark woodwork, stained glass lamps, candles and flowers on the table, and pub decor created a very pleasant atmosphere. Good variety on the menu with reasonable prices too. Thsnk you!
