Clem's — Restaurant in New York

Visited this charming corner Irish bar during St. Patrick’s Day weekend while in NYC with my wife. Our local friends brought us here specifically, knowing it would deliver an authentic experience away from the tourist-packed celebrations elsewhere in the city.

Despite being a Saturday afternoon of the festive weekend, the place had the perfect atmosphere - lively but not overwhelming. The intimate space had that classic neighborhood pub feel that’s increasingly rare to find in Manhattan.

The Guinness was absolutely stellar - exactly what we were craving for the holiday weekend. Each pint was cold, poured with patience and precision (that crucial two-part pour), and tasted remarkably smooth. None of that bitter aftertaste you get when Guinness is rushed or poured incorrectly.
