McDermott's Pub — Restaurant in New York

McDermott’s Pub – Home of the Best Chicken Wings in the Bronx

Tucked away in the heart of the Bronx, McDermott’s Pub is one of those rare neighborhood gems that locals swear by and visitors never forget. It’s the kind of place where the bartenders remember your name, the Guinness flows like water, and—most importantly—the wings are the stuff of legend.

Let’s not beat around the bush: McDermott’s has the best wings in the Bronx. Period. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and tossed in a house-made sauce that hits the perfect balance between spicy, tangy, and addictive. Whether you go for the classic buffalo, the sweet heat, or the mouthwatering garlic parmesan, these wings are worth every finger-licking bite. And no, you won’t want to share.

But it’s not just about the wings. McDermott’s serves up a warm, no-frills Irish pub atmosphere that feels authentic, not forced. With dark wood finishes, sports on the TVs, and a soundtrack of laughter and clinking glasses, it’s the perfect spot to catch a game, hang with friends, or make new ones at the bar. The staff is as friendly as they come—quick with a pour and a recommendation.

Don’t sleep on the rest of the menu either—hearty burgers, perfectly poured pints, and comfort food done right. But let’s be real: once you’ve had the wings, you’ll be back for them again… and again.

If you’re in the Bronx and you haven’t hit up McDermott’s yet, do yourself a favor—go. Come for the drinks, stay for the wings, and leave wondering how soon you...

Not only was she extremely slow, she had zero personality none. Our food came out a different times so my husband's dinner got cold waiting for mine, she forgot to put an order. Our friends joined us about half hour later and she put their food on our bill then couldn't figure out how to separate the checks. Mind you it was hand written not computer. She really was awful. Her service ruined any thought of going there again. This girl should not be in any sort of food service industry or any job that deals...

☀️ Update. After my last review both the owner and manager of @mc_dermotts_pub_in_the_square hit me up and asked to meet with me and my friend to talk about the incident. I sat and explained to them the situation and we came to a peaceful resolution. We got to try the food and the food was phenomenal. The owner was very wholesome and after today I see that he is a genuine family man that’s hard working and takes pride in keeping his customers happy. It was really comfortable and I now change my rating from 0/5 stars to now it being 5/5 ⭐️. I drank an alcoholic drink called “Holy Water” and it was really good. I’m glad the conflict has been...
