PD O’Hurley at West End

Front bar looks great. Back room much less so. Warm water served. Food good but service seemed distracted. Hostess looked uneasy doing her job.

I want to love this place. I really do. They have a jukebox = +1. You have to walk through a super cramped dining room to get to the bathrooms = –1. PD O’Hurley’s seems to have an identity crisis. If the whole bar was like the front half of the place, it would be a fabulous establishment.
The bar appetizers are not good. I’ve had «real» food here before, and it’s generally very tasty. But I ordered potato skins and what did I get? A baked potato, cut in half, with a comical amount of broccoli stuffed under some cheddar cheese… and not a piece of bacon in sight. Super disappointed by that — I had hardly eaten all day and I was in the mood for some fatty greasy potato skins.
I stole a Stella glass on the way out (Hi, Big Brother!), so at least this particular visit wasn’t a total bust. I’ll come back, but not for food.
Three stars!

Great neighborhood bar. Decent beer on tap for an average bar (not a beer bar with endless selection). Underground (3 steps down) so almost zero natural light and the cell phone signal is non-​existent so call or text your friends before you go in. Nice clean bar, decent pub grub menu, big back room for meal at a table. A great local bar, but nothing you would travel for. Great fish and chips.

Great bar food. Drinks are pricey and it has become a great pats bar. Some of the football fans are annoying but that is not the establishment’s fault.

Best bartenders in all of NYC! The beer selection is good and the Shepard’s Pie is awesome. Its good mix of people that come here and it can get packed on weekend nights but always a good time.

I’m not too sure why, but there was mass confusion to find their other location, but I somehow ended up in this one when meeting my sisters before the Margaret Cho performance at the Beacon. It looks a little dungeon-​like when you go downstairs, but inside is very generic.
I would HATE to sit on the midget stools in the bar area if there was no sitting in the restaurant part. Don’t worry though, there are plenty of TV’s around to distract you if your company is lackluster. The food, however, wasn’t too bad, especially if you go for their three course dinner option which was equivalent in price to just one entrée. I’d highly recommend the spinach ravioli — and be sure to save room for dessert! Warm brownie below a gigantic scoop of vanilla ice cream… my favorite part!
