T.J. Byrnes Bar & Restaurant

Nice atmosphere. The red leather upholstery and dim lighting the seventies music (Barry White and BeeGees type music) they were playing gave me this retro lounge vibe that I loved but was lost on a younger member of the group. (My young childhood was in the seventies and I watch lots of seventies retro tv, so... ✌) I loved my fish and chips. Not everyone loved their food but hey if its Irish then go Irish so I did and I wasnt disappointed.

Absolutely love TJ Byrne’s in Manhattan! This is the epitome of a true old Irish pub, with a warm, neighborhoody vibe that makes you feel right at home. The atmosphere is fantastic, complete with charming decor and friendly locals. The owner, who is Irish, is an absolute delight—so welcoming and makes you feel like part of the family. The food is also great, with hearty and delicious dishes that hit the spot every time. It’s the perfect spot to relax, enjoy a pint, and soak in the authentic pub experience. Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for an authentic, no-frills Irish pub in the heart of the city!

Best bar in Manhattan, the loveliest and kindest owners and bar tenders, never a bad crowd. Always enjoyed coming here and never was disappointed. Food is great but its the cocktail that you come here for and trust me they have all kinds of alcohol and the bartender knows every cocktail imaginable and not.

Very neighborly vibe. Great place to come with friends and or adult family members. Staff is always nice and friendly. I shall be returning. Also brunch is great here!!!

What a great experience here. We came by on a Saturday evening and every where was packing with wait times. This place had available table with some authentic Irish food. Beers were nice and cold with Christmas music playing in the background. Katy was out waitress and was very pleasant. They also have a bar area. I wish I lived close to this neighborhood/bar restaurant. This is a owner/run establishment.

Quiet, mature and friendly regulars. Tommy is owner and bartender with a good support staff. Drinks are reasonably priced for lower Manhattan. It has been my local on and off over 20 plus years. Come on in have a drink

Its a very nice nd cozy place to go nd pass a great time good workers nd the owner is very nice

Great place to have drinks, sing, and have a good time with your friends 😀

Drinks are cheap, food is blah, but the karaoke team rocks and they really know what theyre doing. They did a great job at hyping up the crowd to the point that everyone didnt want to leave. I would go back again, but it would have to be a karaoke night.

So I had two tequila shots there one I bought the second was on the boss ! Such a friendly place ! Feel good music from the 70s ! & The atmosphere was just right. Definitely a place I would go back to or recommend.

We only drank there but had a nice time. Nice Irish bartender and lovely atmosphere in bar. My pina colada was very weak & left me wondering if it was a virgin colada, so if youre ordering a frozen drink consider asking for an extra shot. This place can be a little tough to find as its in a big commercial or residential building. Its not a stand alone structure. Very pleasant place. We would return.

Just went here on a first date. It was around 2pm and they had all the doors open. The ventilation was nice but the flies and mosquitoes were not. My date got no less than 12 mosquito bites on her arms in the time that we were there and we were sitting inside at a booth. I also noticed as we were being seated the little plexiglass dividers they had with printed shamrocks had really thick streaks across them all as if instead of cleaning them the dirt was just pushed around which made me leery about ordering food but I did it anyway. My date had the shepherds pie and she said it was pretty good. I had the steak sandwich and Im not exaggerating when I say its one of the toughest cuts of meat that Ive ever had in my life. I actually asked for it to be cooked medium rare and it was but still tougher than leather. So much so I was only able to eat about a quarter of the sandwich before giving up. It also came with fries and an onion rings that were obviously fried together in the same oil that tasted like it probably hasnt been changed in months. Thankfully my date didnt hold any of this against me but we definitely learned our lesson and Im frankly shocked at the general rating of this place because my experience was contrary to the four point whatever stars this place averages.

I would call this a local pub...we went in for a look see and stayed for one drink. Barman very traditional with white shirt and tie. No very friendly to visitors to Manhattan 😥. Clean and safe old traditional pub

Great place for a pint of Guinness and whiskey with their 100% sirloin steak burgers with steak fries. You wont find any other classic Irish American pub with there affordable prices and delicious Irish dishes.

Really enjoy this place. Relaxed friendly atmosphere. Love the happy hour and half price apps during the week. Just a great place to sit and unwind with friends!!!!

Great brunch value...had 2 bloody marys and steak and eggs for 17....including tips. Dad liked the Irish breakfast. Lady liked her burger. Dad doesnt drink so had another 2 bloody Marys.

Went with my soon-to-be 80 year old aunt 10 minutes before kitchen closing time. The food was very fresh, waitress was extremely friendly, and we werent rushed at all. I would surely go back again!

Excellent service. Good price and delicious food! 😉

Food is awesome. Service is great. Drinks are offical. They actually ask you neat or on the rocks. And they dont skimp on drinks. No secretly adding water or cutting hard liquor. Love it.

This place is sick I’ve been coming here for a while the food is fire and Tommy makes the best drinks. In the words of Tommy at that dear old Fulton bar we love so well ,”That beer is good eh?”

You made my birthday awesome! The food was great and the service was better!I definitely recommend coming here!

Older Bar Restaurant in the Seaport area in manhattan. Good food, decor is dated but if its drinks and food you want stop in

I am from South Africa and I just loved it! I just love America..would move tomorrow🍀🍀

My favorite place to go when Im at the South Street Seaport area. Its got great staff, food and drink. Not a tourist trip like most of the bars in the area.

Great beers and food, small lack of seating in the bar. Well worth it if you can get a spot 👌👌

Im so happy I put this on my done list. Its been on my todo for years !! I went at lunch time. So delicious!! The picture is worth a thousand licks!! 😋😋😋...

Great place to get drinks. Love the atmosphere.

Great old school restaurant/bar. The owner sits around the restaurant check out his guests once in a a while you may spot him.

I love this place. Friendly. Good food, very chill. I like that it feels hidden

Great downtown bar with friendly atmosphere and a great selection of drinks as well as some good food to go with too!

Curteous staff, great for groups, friendly to DDs, and I played Africa by Toto here 3 times in a row and no one complained.

Great time with great food, especially considering it was buffet style but freshly prepared and delicious.

This place is pretty full personal events. A bit tight but still good drinks, food and service.

Both food and service were great. staff are friendly ad welcoming.

The service was good. The food was good....I think. The Moscow Mule.....😬 Maybe just order a beer?

My favorite Irish pub in town. Plenty of outside seating. Owner n staff are the best!

Great food, great atmosphere, great staff. The Chicken pot pie and Shepherds pie are fantastic!

Friendly staff. Great wine. Delicious food. Reasonable prices.

Not a bad place to get a decent lunch.

A nice place to gather with friends food and drinks are very good I would really recommend this place :)

Nice old school joint! Restaurant by day & club/bar by night. You cant go wrong either way...

Food is always GREAT, and Prices are very, very REASONABLE. Yes, i Recommend Pearl Diner.

Friday nights are great with Kristins Kareoke Night! Great Food nice atmosphere!

A classic. Places like this are disappearing in our city. Im so happy we still have TJ Byrnes!

Really cool place to go in Manhattan. Attended a friends birthday party there on a Saturday night and the staff were great

Very nice owner and staff. Not just nice down to earth. Real deal experiences. Connect! Good shizzle. Thank you 😊

Tommy and Misty are the best. My favorite spot for a night cap!

Surprisingly good food. Average manhattan drink prices.

Food was great. Nice atmosphere

Its got the convivial atomosphere of Cheers.

Bartender has no clue how to make certain cocktails.

Great times and good food at this place.

Had a Guinness there. Well done and perfect temperature.

You’ll know the moment you walk into TJ’s if you love it or hate it. If you don’t love this place… please leave . And be sure to tell your friends to not go there. 🤌 I love this bar and will be back.

RETIRED JUNE 30 2002 FROM VERIZON SURE ENJOYED VISITING T J BYRNES AFTER WORK

Cozy Bar and Restaurant to have a Few after a Tough Day at Work.

Not very authentic or even fun. It appears to be poorly run. The beer selection is not what I would expect in an Irish pub. The food selection was minimal. I would not recommend this place if you want anything remotely close to an Irish pub.

A little hard to find it but the owner is great and the prices are reasonable. Food was good. Nice man.

Food was good, but seemed dank.

An okay location for drinking late nights, but not the best of Manhattan.

Friendly staff, the food is good too. If you’re looking for a neighborhood bar with an older crowd (30 and up), this is your place.

Great place to fun!

Great Irish American food and drinks.

The restaurant is like going back in time. I have never had a bad meal here.

A favorite hang out during my college years this bar has absolutely no pretentiousness. A place for affordable food, the buffalo wings are painfully hot and the chicken breast sandwich is tasty, and drinks, well poured Guinness, with a friendly staff. Its a neighborhood staple and the kind of place where youll learn the bartenders name and come back enough times and hell learn yours. Its not a place Id journey to but it is a refreshing break from all the bars in the area. Stop in for a glass of beer and say hit to Tommy

Tomas the bartender gives excellent service.

No frills Irish pub, but priced well and great food. I especially like their burgers

Decent food for the price with a comfortable atmosphere. The wait staff were very accommodating to my family.

Nice atmosphere & good food. Reasonably priced compared to other restaurants in the area.

The chef here was amazing. If you guys want to have good food ask for oscar to cook your food.

Nice place good food in the courtyard of the coop development by Fulton and water st real quaint clean restrooms

Food and service are good but the place decor is not happy and too dark

Local bar with standard Irish theme. They pour a good pint. I recommend the burgers.

Great local bar with good food, service and drinks for low prices.
