Niall's on 52nd — Restaurant in New York

November 19, 2022 update. Service so bad I ended up walking out. This place used to be crowded on Saturday night, but it wasn’t tonight. I can see why after my experience. Walked in, no one behind the bar. Stood around several minutes waiting for someone to come out. After about 10 minutes I decided to call. When the phone started ringing the woman sitting at the end of the bar crawling all over the guy sitting next to her got up to answer. So I walked over and asked if I could get a menu as I’d like to order. Sure she says. I go sit down, peruse the menu, then wait, and wait, and wait. She finally walks by, I tell her I’d like to order, but she begs off and says she’ll be right back. Then proceeds to schmooze her way down the bar. I wait another 5 to 7 minutes and realize I could be there past midnight at this rate even if she takes my order. If this is typical, it doesn’t bode well for a once great pub. Too bad

Great local tavern. Good food and a friendly bartender. Decently...

Interesting pub, their cocktail and beer selection looked fine. We stopped in for convenience for lunch one day while in town visiting. The menu isn't very big and they don't appear to be accommodating to various food allergies. On the way in I noticed that Chicken Fajitas was one of the specials, so opted to do that. I asked that they add cheese and they did (which was appreciated). My dining companion got a burger, which he said was 'meh. The bartender was our waitress and they weren't very busy. She didn't seem all that excited to see us, let alone actually wait on us. I realize we probably sat a little ways from the bar and that was a total turn off for her, but the section was open so we took advantage of being away from the bar. Again, we went for convenience so really didn't expect a lot. I'd suggest we got what we expected. Had we been there to drink, I'd almost bet we would have enjoyed our time more. Thanks for...

I am not one to write reviews but since I am retired, I guess am turning over a new leaf. The wife and I were in midtown Manhattan and I was showing her where I used to work a LONG TIME ago. We were passing Niall’s on 52nd and decided to stop in for a drink and a bite to eat. The atmosphere of the place reminded me of Cheers. The books on the wall were a nice touch. I got the feeling that if I still lived in NY this would be the place, I would go to watch my Knicks games. The bartender Sarah was amazing it is very obvious by her presence she thoroughly enjoys what she's doing, very attentive, and she has a very welcoming smile. She made our drinks perfectly and even took a second to engage in a little small talk. The food was good, the wife and I split a plate of fries. The only suggestion I have for potential patrons is to bring cash because there is a CC fee. I will definitely stop by Niall’s the next time...
