Harrington’s Bar & Grill

Great customer service. Tasty food and good wine. What else do you need? Come on in here and have some fun people

Wanted a quick drink while waiting for train. Wife moved to side to let a rude guy walk buy. Lido (manager) said wife was drunk so would not serve her a drink. WTF… so totally wrong! Never again will this place get any of my money. Twilight Zone experience here. Wow. Stay away.

Extremely disappointing experience here. Lido the manager refused service with no reason. Sightseeing all day and a quick stop before catching the train.

Perfect spot if you are looking to kill some time before a train. I can’t comment on the food but the bartender was friendly and drinks were fine. For a Saturday night it was pretty quiet. The crowd was a mix of young, old, and sports fans watching games on the tvs above the bar.

Some of the reviews are pretty tough on this place –so I might not have even tried it. However, staying in the hotel across the street on business and looking for a place I could get in without fuss. Got seated right away, very good service, manager made his rounds checking customer satisfaction. Had the crab cakes and they were quite yummy. Reasonably priced. Yeah, if I’m in the area I’ll come here again.

Went here before a concert at MSG. I looked at the reviews and was a little worried but we were already there and didn’t feel like searching for somewhere else in the cold. The wait wasn’t bad and when the manager saw the table we were at wasn’t the best he offered to move us to a better location. A little loud as to be expected at a bar, but the food came out fast, was reasonably priced and was very good. I don’t understand why it has an average of a little over 2 stars.

Ok enough spot to pregame. It was pretty quiet for 10:30pm on a Saturday night. We put down a credit card for the food and two rounds of drinks.
We’d have stayed for a third round but the two bartenders didn’t seem to be paying much attention to our group of four couples. One bartender was catching a chat with a girl at the end of the bar and the other bartender catching up with another guy.
Maybe their friends come to hang out and keep them company when it’s slow?

started off with waiter not knowing the menu. followed by being asked to move tables after we placed our order and had drinks on our table.
Food was decent, but service is what it lacks.

Needed a bar close to MSG to have some drinks before a show. Stumbled across this place saw it was an Irish pub and thought it would be a good choice. Sat at the bar and the bar itself was pretty nice with a granite bar top that was very clean. Greeted fast from a native dubliner bartender. Well that’s a good sign. 2 of the bartenders were actually Irish. They were ok personality wise, a little sarcastic and one of them kept going on his phone. Drinks were good and Guinness was poured right. I can’t comment on the food because I didn’t have any.
I did like the atmosphere of the bar and the games they had on the tvs were a good selection. I also liked the 90s dance music they had playing in the background. Bartenders are eh, drinks are good. I’ll probably be back for some drinks before or after doing stuff in the area.

Service was blah, food even more so. There wasn’t another soul in the joint until we were walking out. I felt it was my civic duty to give them a frank review, bus alas, they whisked by before I could give them my warning.

This place is just plain awful. Food is bad and tasteless, cocktails taste like cheap liquor and sugar. No comment on the lack of service in a very dead evening. Not coming back.

Zaaaaaaaaaamn. Some people really do not like this place.
It’s just your standard Irish pub. We came here to pregame before a show and it was great that it was literally across the street from MSG. We had two bartenders, and one of them was fascinated with the design of my coffee cup.
They have Angry Orchard on tap which I was happy about. We did a few shots of whiskey and then shared a plate of bbq shrimp before we moseyed on out of there. Food was better than we thought, and we left with a great buzz just in time for Disclosure.

Thursday midnight, good soundtrack. Loud in the bar, quiet in the restaurant. Sports TV ‘s, above average bar menu for late night snacks. Food came out quickly, limited beer selection — both import and domestic. Has a local feel. Won’t go wrong for a quick beer and snack. Solid «above average», quesadillas and poppers as expected.

We were not going to come here because of the bad reviews, however we were tired of walking and decided to give it a shot.
Apparently they think a medium steak is cooked as a well done steak. When we asked them to change the steak they argued with us regarding on the temperatures they follow here. The manager does not have good customer service skills and we ended up leaving since the servers made us feel uncomfortable with constant dirty looks. Walk a few extra blocks and find a better place, don’t waste your time or money here.

Decent midtown bar and grill with decent food and good service.
No complaints.

Excellent service and great food! Doesn’t deserve a 2.5 star rating.
Came for a quick lunch on Saturday. The bar was full of Rangers fans before the game so there were tables available to eat. I fittingly ordered the Harrington sandwich and it was exactly what I wanted. Who knew shrimp, ham and mozz could taste so delicious together? The staff was extremely pleasant and attentive.
My eating experience here was amazing and I have zero complaints.

Location location location! This bar/​restaurant is located a block from Madison Square Garden and across from the Affinia Hotel. I have visited it a few times, mostly for the convenience of it.
I have sat in the dining area and the bar, and I prefer the bar area. The drinks were good, and the bartender was super friendly and attentive.
The menu is like a sports bar, but the décor is a little more elegant.
As far as food goes, I only remember the chicken wings and they were worth the memory. Very tasty and fried hard — a win with me !
I really looked for a reason to deduct a star, but I could not think of anything to not like. Great customer service, pretty restaurant and good food. Win win — especially when your feet are tired from a long manhattan day !

Tried to catch the last period of the Islanders v. Rangers game at the Flying Puck, but it was as packed as I expected (if not more)… which is how I ended up at Harrington’s.
Harrington’s a pretty mediocre bar. I mean, it’s great they play Rangers games (with sound) and have your standard selection of beers on tap. But man, was I disappointed with the wings or what! There’s just something about their hot sauce that just doesn’t sit right with my taste buds. It was… tangy, which isn’t a term I would ever want to associate with hot wings. The quesadillas were much better, in my opinion, with ample guacamole, sour cream, and salsa for each bite. Not the best ever, but better than the wings.
Flying Puck may be crowded (and have just as mediocre food)… but the atmosphere makes up for it ten-​fold. Next time, I think I’ll just (wo)man up and cheer for the Rangers while crushed between two people at the Flying Puck. No more sad, tangy, sub-​standard wings at Harrington’s for me.

Ordered the tuna fish sandwich. Smelled like the URINAL. It wasn’t the tuna, it was the lettuce.
Manager came by and tried to argue with me that it didn’t because I ate a quarter of the sandwich. I wasn’t looking for an argument or trying to avoid paying — just wanted to let them know.
Forgot to check Unilocal.Fck this place.

They aren’t on the regular food menu, only the pub menu, which is a shame, but Harrington’s has the best mozz sticks I have ever had. They’re bready and doughy and so cheesy and melty and delicious. And yes, if you ask for them they will bring them to you no questions asked even if you’re sitting in the restaurant menu that disgracefully leaves them out. I can now finally say, after eating there sober once in addition to the other two times, that they are delicious.
Aside from that, the food is good. Pretty standard American food. I am a sucker for a good old-​fashiioned burger any day of the week, and there’s is satisfying. Cooked how I like, delivered by kind, attentive staff at a reasonable speed. Good place to go before a concert or after a night out, the price and the location is right.
If possible, ask for a table in the upstairs section. It is separate from the rest of the place and it is a little quieter.
