Hey Ryan W...Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your experience at the Hairy Lemon NYC! I've had some amazing times there, and it's one of my favorite spots to catch Penn State and Philadelphia Eagles games. And you couldn't be more wrong about Ireland. I too was at the Hairy Lemon this past Sunday. In Dublin, the atmosphere was electric--Manchester United vs. Arsenal with sound, followed by the Eagles game. It's the kind of energy I look forward to at the NYC location too. The staff and management at the NYC bar are fantastic at creating a fun game-day vibe, especially for Penn State &/or Eagles fans like me. Hopefully, your next visit is better(but assuming your a Giants fan, it could be a while), But if you're there when the Eagles take on the Rams, I'd love to buy you a drink. FLY EAGLES FLY!

Went back recently and it's even better than it was last time. Irish-inspired pub with pool table. Generous drinks and comfort food. Nice wholesome crowd except for me. Young to middle age patrons except for me. Amateur pool players except for me. Ask for owner Glenn, salt of the earth, Eire-man engineer (not train). Aad for the story of how I won four grand on NCAA championship at another place because of a foul call as time ran out. At Glenn's expense, I might add, which included an undeserved free drink, which I graciously accepted. You can also ask about six for five in 1950s Boston. Whitey Bulger made a fortune off it. My bookie dad, too, but he dumbly gambled his earnings. Some people never learn. Sorry dad (but I love you like forever. nonetheless).

Came here for Thursday night trivia at 8pm. Would recommend making a reservation - I saw people being turned away at the door around 7:45 even though the place was pretty empty. It quickly filled up though and trivia started around 8:15. This was really efficient trivia. Everything was done online, with one team member using their phone to answer questions and scoring being done automatically. For 6 rounds, each of about 8 questions, the whole thing took maybe 2 hours. The questions were good and reasonably hard (my team probably got around 70% right) and the host was nice and engaging. There are plenty of draft beers to choose from. The food options are pricey but nothing special. My group ordered fries and they were fine. The vibe of the bar is divey and pretty generic, but not sure if it's different when it's not trivia night.

"Favorite Sports Pub Alphabet City" This is a seminal sports bar that offers the full gamut of pub grub, draft beers and drinks this is a spot with well positioned TVs and lots of energy. What's to cheer - Reasonable prices - great wings! Some of the best traditional chicken wings in the city - large draft selection - nearly all great seats to watch a game - reasonable prices - fast, easy to order directly from your phone What's to jeer - of course it's very popular so for some games you must get here really early! - service is friendly but sometimes slow

Phenomenal service despite being crazy busy. Within seconds of sitting down, the bartender handed us menus and took our order. Think dive sports bar. Only had beer on tap. Lots of tvs and different games. Don't plan on listening as they pumped music loud. Packed at 2 pm. on a Saturday. Mostly young 20s crowd. Everyone was nice. Guinness was about $9 a glass.

- moderately priced for the neighborhood - came for post softball game drinks - we all enjoyed their various bar food options - recommend: buffalo wings - good sports bar option

Great sport bar! I came here for the World Cup 2022 and it was wild. By that I mean it was crowded, full of people screaming, and there was just an overall excitement. They offer a wide selection of draft and bottled beer, cider, wine and spirits. The Hairy Lemon also make sure to show all sort of major sport events. The bar has multiple TVs everywhere. They serve typical American bar food, although there are some dishes with a European twist. I ordered the bratwurst sandwich -- pork brat, caramelized onions, peppers, spicy mustard on a hoagie roll. I really enjoyed it. Moreover, service was quick even with a crowded pub!
