About

Like most Irish pubs, this one's packed with Emerald Isle bric-a-brac: Soccer memorabilia, leprechaun statuettes, T-shirts emblazoned with four-leaf clovers and bartenders boasting authentic Irish brogues. Yet because it's located on the Upper East Side, it has loftier pretensions. The lamps above the sleek wooden bar look like Tiffany knockoffs, and the walls are decorated with reproduction vintage tin advertisements for Coca-Cola. Downstairs, the game room offers a pool table and darts and, in the back, a secluded garden allows patrons to drink alfresco in the summer.
