This part of town hasn't jumped on the gentrification bandwagon yet. This pub is a trip. It's a great mix of townies, tourists, newbies, and hipsters.
When we went there, my friend got me a drink that ended up being fifteen bucks. The woman was multiplying the cost of a shot together instead of the price of the drink that's on the price list.
I told the owner, and he gave us some money off of our next round to make up for the difference.
When I was in Killarney last year, a pub put me onto Greenore. I asked a bartender at Haven for it one time when I came to visit, but he dind't know what I was talkinga bout. When I came another time, the owner knew exactly what I was talking about. The owner is well versed in all things Irish and has spent substantial time there. Not that it matters for a dive, but it's pretty cool. I was beyond impressed that they had this, especially after my earlier disappointment.
So, obviously, their staff needs some training, but it's a dive. I'm not coming here expecting five star service. Just give me some good music and company, and I'm a happy camper. They even have live trad music!
They have a mini kitchen area that looks like it's for private parties. They also have pool in the back.
The men's bathroom is near the end of the bar, so that's gross. Nothing ruins a refreshing drink more than hearing a guy who has had one to many use the restroom.
I've been here with a group of eight, a group of three, and alone. It's been fun each time, a wonderful part of the...
Read moreFIRSTLY, I went in there the first time recently In October 2017, I then asked for the cheapest beer on tap, I was there when it opened btw, they still would not serve me with the proper credentials after going on an errand to obtain the proper credentials I returned to the restaurant after about half an hour and this was after I had already used the bathroom there. I then asked him if I could use the bathroom he said sure I recently told the gentleman that I'm getting over a stomach virus that I can't control my bowels and it might be a little bit messy he said this would be no problem I insisted that I would like to clean it up because it can get pretty nasty like I said HE WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO CLEAN IT UP!!! Last after doing some shopping in Sunset Park Brooklyn I came back to Irish Haven bar and another gentleman not the gentleman that I first spoke with about bathroom being fine about him cleaning it up told me that I'm not allowed to come back to the restaurant and he cannot serve me because I made a mess in the bathroom even though I was willing to clean it up from top to bottom

Read moreIf I could give this place a zero I would. Was just there, blonde, female bartender passed me twice and ignored me both times and there were only 12 people at the bar. 5 of which she had just serviced. Maybe it was because I was the darkest one there. Never again.
Here it's hours later but.. there was no African American there. The darkest person was me. I hate to rag down a mom AND pop shop because I thrive on them. However it is what it is. She, (the blonde bartender) chose to pay attention to those who where there of her color. It's not something I love to hear considering I've been in this neighborhood and had supported you guys besides of it. I love your bar. You just need to make sure that your inhabitants tend to all.

As an owner you would know that ever patron is important. I appreciate...
