The Perfect Pint

Great location in midtown, 40 beers on tap, Guinness is nice, good selection of seasonal domestics and all the usual suspects. Food was good, bartender friendly.

Went on a Wednesday night with some friends after work to grab a quick drink for happy hour.
As we walked up the stairs (warning, LOTS OF stairs) we saw quite a few levels of bars with tables to sit. They were mostly empty with a few people sitting on each level. We were hoping for the best as we got upstairs to try to get a seat on their rooftop patio.
When we got upstairs, we were wrong, it was PACKED, I could not believe how popular they were! Luckily we had a few friends sitting at a table already so we had a place to sit.
I’m going to give the décor and everything a ⁵⁄₅ because it really wow’ed me as something very unique. The chairs were heavy because they were kegs and the table I was at was a round table with beer taps in the middle. The washroom was tiny, so small I could barely fit but the sink, which had beer taps instead of sink taps really won me over.
The drinks were good. I ordered their summer beer and for happy hour, it was only $ 5. They only had about 3 options but the summer beer was by far my favorite. Their options were plenty so it’d be unlikely that you’d find something you wouldn’t like. So drinks get ⁵⁄₅ for price. However just know that because you are on the top patio floor, you will not get a glass, just a plastic cup. However, do know that if you want to buy just one drink, it is cash only. Their minimum for card is $ 10.
The service was quick and fast. If you needed a table, the servers were more than happy to keep an eye out for a table as well as give you a definitive time. They were friendly and polite and very patient.
It was busy so you could tell it was a very busy and popular place! Definitely going to try to go again another time, but hopefully with more friends and much earlier.

Nice Irish accent on our bartender and great food
we had beers on tap of course and a turkey burger
soup of the day was a great too overall great… nice big TVs with sports.

Great service, many beer choices on tap, daily specials. I had the lobster avocado wrap and it was fantastic! I also sampled the calamari and the spinach/​artichoke dip, both were also fantastic! My co workers had a greek salad and the Tuesday burger special and were also pleased with the meal. No complaints.

The food was good! That’s it.
Service: Woman who greeted us at the door, friendly. Man who put our tables together, friendly. Servers, bad attitudes. Bus boys, none. Female Manager, looking for a fight.
The 18% gratuity added (without mention anywhere in restaurant or on menu) wouldn’t have been a problem except that the service and entire experience was just terrible. Legally, the restaurant should consider placing the gratuity disclaimer «back on the menu».
–When any member of our table asked for water, dirty look.
–Our food plates and drink glasses were not removed our table was filthy and cluttered.
— When I went to the manager to inquire about the additional gratuity, she snatched the receipt from my hands, and then scolded me for not saying anything to our servers. To explain, the reason why I went to her first is because we had 4 servers! I didn’t know who to discuss the check with. Additionally, she blamed the poor service on the second floor, on the fact that the roof was packed. If you can’t give your best service to each table, don’t sit that table!
I have had many positive experiences at the other location but this was atrocious.

Stopped in for a pint after class. Very fresh Smithwicks… friggin delicious. Crowded but there were a few spots at the bar…8:30 pm on a Tuesday. Would absolutely come back

Food is ok. Beer on tap isn’t anything special. They have free wifi which is a bonus. Three floors as well.

I came here on a Friday night and luckily managed to grab a table before it got too crowded. I loved the atmosphere of the place — it wasn’t too crowded or loud. It was a perfect place to grab dinner and catch up with some friends. My friends and I ordered a bunch of appetizers — fried calamari, the neo classic buffalo wings (mild), the irish tenders & a side of fries. Overall, the food came out pretty fast and it was delicious and satisfying. They also have a pretty extensive beer list for all you beer fanatics out there! Service could be a little better since it seemed like our waiter was more interested with talking with the girls at the bar instead of helping us. But I would come back if I was ever in the neighborhood looking for a bite!

Went there today for lunch (Friday, 4÷8÷16). Had the Sammy Salmon Burger and it was delicious! (5 STARS)
Place was pretty empty when we showed up (say by 12:30 pm) but filled up by the time we headed out.
Service was ok, no horror story, but it could definitely be improved. The host definitely said take the table in the back on your left but didn’t walk us there. Waiter was not personable. He didn’t really say much, kind of showed up, said hey then waited for us to speak/​order. Food was great, as I mentioned but it did take longer than expected to come out. I can forgive that because the food was definitely still hot and steamy when we got it, so worth the wait. Also, towards the end when we were ready to go it took a little time before we got the check (being NYC at lunch time it felt like forever). There was another guy that assisted, clearing the tables, bringing the food, wrapping up leftovers. He seemed more engaged in the table so kudos to him but he wasn’t the waiter. Not sure how that relationship works.
Would go back for the food but not necessarily the service.

I normally go here and I love it. The bartenders and staff on the first floor are perfect but I decided to check out the second floor and it was the worst service I’ve ever gotten in my life. It wasn’t necessarily bad service, I just felt ignored. It took about 15 mins to even get my first order in. I hate writing bad reviews as I do not like to diss fellow servers, maybe they were having a bad day. I just feel like it wasn’t busy enough to ignore a guest. I still love the perfect pint and am still going to rate it 5 stars. The food is awesome and the staff is awesome so I hope that I never experience that again.
Great food and great beer!

Service sucked… burger dry. I asked for medium well ended up tasting like a drive-​thru fast food burger. The guy at the bar with the speech impediment was very impatient, rude and indirectly insulting. Never again will I visit this place. BTW, I am from the west coast and until this experience I was putting New York people on a pedestal… boo!!!

nice enough bar, always a lively crowd. The guac is pretty good for a bar.

Visited there while in NYC a few weeks ago before a show. Just grabbed a quick beer. Service was decent.

OOhhh, today’s lunch was yummy. It was the lunch special of the day: Chicken Gorgonzola with mash potato and string beans… Yummmmmy
My chicken was just a tad overcooked (better overcooked than under any day) but the delicious garlic and Gorgonzola topping just took that ordinary fillet over the top. The icing of the cake was the Guiness to boot!
Service wasn’t that great today at lunch time. Place was full and it seemed as if there were only two people serving and one of them was the bartender.
The bus-​boy was nice enough to get my tab as well as the dessert to go so I could get moving.
Definitely plan to go back.

I was looking forward to this place from the moment I arrived…
Shitty shitty shitty service. Didn’t even order a drink before I walked out!!!
Enjoy!!!

This Irish pub was not too far from our hotel. Really nice atmosphere. We drank at the bar downstairs and didn’t explore the rest of the place. The drinks were reasonably priced. The bartenders were good-​natured and quick. The bathroom was really clean. I didn’t have any food, but my friends said that the onion rings were good.

This casual beer Irish watering hole is friendly and has a nice terrace on top in the middle of the city. It is a respite from the awful ones full of loud transit bridge and tunnel crowd in the 34^th area. The interior is wood filled and cozy if you choose to sit on one of the many floors. The outdoor space has small bar tables and is nice if you can grab one.
The beer selection is good and believe or not the food is actually quite good here also with a mix of multi-​cultural dishes. You have your usual pub food, burgers & fries and nachos and standard Irish fare all served with some flair dare I say. We opted for beer and round of appetizers of crab cakes, nachos and a lobster avocado wrap. The crab cakes were pretty good filled mostly with crab, the nachos was chili nachos and a big heaping full of it. The wrap made with honey wheat was fairly good but slightly bland but that’s okay. We were there to enjoy the selection of beer and but didn’t help the food was good also.
I don’t venture to Irish pubs much but The Perfect Pint is a good choice in the neighborhood service good food, beer and friendly service.

What a pile of shit… the nachos were served with cheese whiz. Or something that clearly came out of a can. It tasted horrible. I don’t care about the massive beer list or frankly any chef or restaurant that allows canned cheese on food is disgusting.
Also that’s not to mention the 18% gratuity they added on to a 4 person table…

My friends and I actually really enjoyed our time here! We were wandering around the area for a place to eat and randomly stumbled upon this place and decided to go in. The interior is pretty dark but nicely furnished and there’s two stories. I got the Tuna Avocado Wrap which tasted pretty good! I asked the waitress to keep my tuna more on the rare side but it was still a little too cooked. Oh well. My friends got a salad and the Southwestern Chicken Wrap and both said they enjoyed it and wanted to come back. The food took a little while to come out though so make sure you have a longer lunch break when you come here (~25 mins for food to come out). Will definitely be coming back to try their other dishes!

There is a bar downstairs with a few tables and more seating upstairs where it is quieter but TVs are showing sports events if you want to watch. They offer typical pub food. My friend had the chicken pot pie and I had the pulled chicken sandwich. The sweet potato fries were especially good. The sandwich was good but chicken a bit overcooked and dry. Service was fine.

Good place. Good food. Best Penne Carbonara I ever had in the US
