Hurley's Restaurant & Bar in
New York (NY)

Cracking bar just around the corner from time square. Great beers, excellent pub grub. Well worth a visit.

Excellent food and staff! They have HUGE hamburgers that are so juicy! Fries are cooked perfectly. They cater to those with food allergies (I have both egg and milk), so don't be afraid to ask. Definitely would go back.

My wife and I had reservations for dinner Sunday. As most people know by now, NYC had a big snow storm. We didn’t pay attention to our emails and we received a message they would be closing down for the day. When we arrived, all the lights were out. The bad news is we weren’t having Italian... but the good news is we stumbled upon Hurley's Restaurant & Bar. What a great place!! The moment we walked through the door we received the warmest welcome from the bartender, Alicia. She was friendly, cheerful & spot-on with food recommendations. My wife had Blackened fish tacos and I had Shepard pie, both were exceptional. We will definitely be back again... what a great find!! Thank you Alicia!!

We just arrived in town and wanted a quick bite before resting. Our hotel recommended Hurleys which is next door. It is a Very nice Irish pub. It was a little loud at first but our server was so gracious she took us to a more quiet spot and made some great recommendations for food and drinks. The Rueben was great, the service was even better. Alicia is very outgoing, accommodating and engaging. We are coming back tomorrow to checkout the Shepard pie. A great start to our vacation.

Overall, we really enjoyed our time at this bar. We attended for the VIP ball drop escort, which did not go well, but after talking with the manager and looking into it further, it was clear that this was not Hurley’s responsibility and was handled by an outside company. Everything at the bar itself was great—the food and drinks were excellent. The bathrooms were clean, and the staff were welcoming and attentive.

Downstairs is your more traditional Irish Pub atmosphere and upstairs is a more traditional restaurant. Nice menu with a good variety of choices. Great spot for a pre theater meal. Attentive servers. Didn’t rush us but at the same time everything was served timely.

Absolutely awful!!! Food tastes like frozen cafeteria or hospital food. I’m not exaggerating. Service was horrible despite it being super slow. Overpriced and mediocre at best. Supposed to be an Irish Pub yet blasted horrible county western music the entire time.

A great experience AT this bar. We came for the vip ball drop escort - which the escort was a nightmare- but after further research and talking to the manager, Hurley’s had nothing to do with this! That is on the ball drop company. The drinks and food here were great, bathrooms were clean and staff was very friendly!

Most of the food was decent, but the Hanger Steak Au Poivre was just a Hanger Steak. There was no cream peppercorn sauce. Basic misrepresentation on their dinner menu. Does the chef not know what ‘au Poivre’ means? For what it was it was a basic, nothing fancy hanger steak, but I was disappointed. Perhaps if I had known it was going to be a basic hanger steak I would have rated it higher.

Needed a bar to host a big group and Paul hooked us up with a great area! The bar itself was spacious with a great sound system and reasonably-priced drinks. A midtown gem - we’ll be back for sure!

Hurleys Saloon 232 West 48th Street My family and I meet every year in New York to catch dinner and a show during the holidays. We wanted a quick bite before our show. Our hotel recommended Hurleys. It was a weekend and very busy. What a great experience. Our servers Alicia and Mo were so wonderful. Outgoing, fast and got us to our show on time. We enjoyed it so much that we came back after the show for dessert and we were lucky enough to see Alicia again. Good food, excellent service. She was fun, professional, and always reflecting a supreme attitude. I'd come back again just to see her.

We were upstairs, literally sitting in the main walkway. We were never offered any drinks except water, the steaks where ordered medium they arrived overcooked and dry, we needed A1 to force them down. We had show tickets so no time to complain. Every other table which we were with had their dessert, we had to ask multiple times. The service was terrible, the staff would look at you like they didn’t understand English. Worst choice ever for dining in NYC.

2nd visit and they did not disappoint! Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixings. wonderful atmosphere and top notch h service.

Dropped in with my Mrs just after 8pm Friday 31st Oct 2025. We settled at long bar where others were sitting (good bar). We waited and after 10 mins barman came round from other side of bar and said could we all ‘pop round to the other side as this side was closed’ much to surprise off 10 various people sitting there. We went round as instructed as we just wanted a drink and waited another 8 or 9 minutes while the barman stayed at the other side doing who knows what??? Politely suggest he is: a) Given extensive bar man training and mentored and assessed or b) Taught how to engage any vestiges of organisational and/or personality skills or C) Is relegated to emptying bins and replacing toilet roll and an actual barman is employed. Regards.

Epic! Came to NYC to meet my kid for ComiCon and wandered into this place. The bartender was awesome and the people friendly. Great food and an awesome selection of beers. I'll make the trip back just to hang out here. Just a " stones throw " from Times Square too!

We went here Monday night before going to Mamma Mia. It was about 6:30 and not crowded. We got right in. They sat us in a small booth by the front door. I guess it is the only wheelchair accessible seat. So we were kind of out of the way. The food was kind of the typical pub fare. It was good. It was reasonably priced. I thought my burger was a good burger. My daughter liked her pasta.

Easily one of the worst bar experiences I’ve had — anywhere. Bartender couldn’t crack a smile if his life depended on it. Poured two beers like he was punishing the glass. Zero professionalism, zero effort, zero pride. This place survives off location, not quality. If you’re after overpriced drinks and service colder than an ex’s heart, you’ve found it. Absolute bin fire of a saloon. Avoid.

We just wanted soup and an appetizer because we had a show to get to. Fast service, beautiful restaurant, and very good food. French onion soup and pretzels with mustard and beer cheese. Yummy!!!

Good option to watch sports in midtown. Good and quick service despite the bar being crowded. Plenty of screens to have a decent view. Only downside is that it gets really hot in the back of the bar. No proper Ac and the fan on the floor didn’t bring enough relief. The spots in the front don’t have this issue.

Had a fantastic lunch at Hurley's Saloon today! I ordered the Southwest Chicken Salad and it was absolutely delicious—perfectly seasoned with just the right kick. The bartender was super friendly, adding to the great atmosphere. The place itself is well-suited for large gatherings, with multiple floors and plenty of TVs to catch up on sports or news. Definitely a top spot in NYC for both drinks and dining!

Normally I don't like leaving bad reviews without something redeeming, but my partner and I are absolutely bewildered at this place having 4.3 stars. We got an old fashioned, chicken fingers, the hummus plate, and the spinach and artichoke dip, and everything was frankly terrible. The old fashioned was so bad she didn't finish it. Regarding the spinach dip plate, the dip itself was so watery it was practically a soup and had very little flavor, the pita bread was flavorless, and the carrots were mushy and wilty. My chicken tenders plate had some of the worst honey mustard I've ever had, and three of the six pieces of chicken had large gristly chunks in them. The hummus plate would have been the only tolerable option, except it had a long hair wound through it that was neither mine nor my wife's, and the veggies were also mushy and sad. We ended up paying $65 for a meal so bad we only ate about 40% of it. I will not be coming back and would absolutely not recommend it to anyone.

Update 11/24/23… This places never fails me! The service was A1, food was FRESH and delicious and I can’t stop talking about this place! We ran across this amazing restaurant walking from Times Square. The service 5 star and food was delicious! The bathrooms was clean & downstairs they have a bar. We will defiantly return!

A very nice restaurant. The restaurant has two floors. Upstairs there is seating that is suitable for a couple looking for a romantic atmosphere. There is also seating outside the restaurant. We had dinner in the restaurant. A varied menu and delicious food. A large restaurant and plenty of space in the restaurant with a view of the sea. The customer service is high. Very nice and kind waiters. Our menu included an appetizer, a main course and an appetizer. In general, the food was delicious and the portions were fine.

I appreciated the care while extracting my Guinness that came perfect… however, the chicken fingers and the mozzarella fried sticks were not that great. But the worst was the inclusion of 20% tip without asking if we wanted to tip 20%, or even if we wanted to tip at all… touristic trap? It seems, unfortunately. I did not like, again, the positive was the Guinness, the rest could be forgotten… not sure if I will come back…

We went to Hurley's saloon after going to a Broadway show. It was near the theater and our hotel. We were looking for an Irish pub. We loved the environment and there was plenty of food to choose from. I would definitely recommend.

Very friendly bartenders. My wife and I visited two consecutive evenings and we're very happy. There are not many vegetarian options to chose from and the cocktails are kind of sweet. I chose to go for the single malt and vodka for my wife. They do have outdoor seating also which closes sooner than the restaurant.

*This is an outdoor dining review* I was only able to order an appetizer because by the time that got to me I was frozen solid. I ordered the buffalo wings because they looked so appealing as I was walking by. I noticed there were about 4 heaters so I went against my better judgement and tried this place out. Well those heaters were most definitely there for show because you couldn't even feel faint heat. There were people so cold and red in the face trying to patiently wait for their food or drinks I ordered a margarita and it never got to my table so I won't have a review of how that taste today. Sorry. It also took my wings so long to come about 20 minutes imagine sitting in the cold waiting for wings yes wings. The wings are as good as they look the first 2 were hot and delicious the other 10 were ice cold but what did I expect dining in 45 degree weather. I would not be dining with Hurleys again for the simple fact that I did not feel welcomed and the staff stayed indoors most of the time and didn't check on the freezing guest as often as they should.
