The Blasket — Restaurant in New York

The Blasket is a classy neighborhood Irish pub in Midtown East. a charming bar with a kitchen is a welcome addition to the area.

looking for a chill bar with a menu of comfort food? Blasket has got you covered. this bar has a relaxed vibe. its decor is casual and classy: dark woods, NO clutter, a few flatscreen for sports fans, and seating spread out over two floors. Blasket has a lot of flexibility as a destination pub on the east side--whether you're looking for a spot to catch up with friends, do business drinks as i did, cozy up for a date night, or to celebrate a birthday. the warm welcoming interior matches the friendly service.

i desired a perfectly poured pint of Guinness--and Liam, Blasket owner/ delivered one after another throughout the night with. the bar got busy throughout the night--and the service never skipped a beat at the bar. beyond just quick service, Liam and team are superfriendly and that comes off as genuine not forced. there is a menu here and the eats looked and smelled good here. i didn't get to tour through it, but i will soon!

i highly recommend Blasket to anyone desiring a drink and an escape from the din of the city

My favorite pub in NYC! Great food, drinks, and service! If you’re dining in, you can’t go wrong with the fish and chips, fish tacos or curry fries - I love them all! The bartenders are super friendly and nice, and will remember you after a few visits (yes, guilty of being a regular)! I love that it has a great neighborhood bar vibe while also welcoming anyone inside! Also the Blasket is known to be one of the best places to grab a Guinness in the city 🍻 The bar is two levels, downstairs is very social and upstairs is great for date night, a more chill evening, or private events! Last reason why I love this place is the live music - Friday’s and Saturday’s come alive when the music is playing! See y’all...

Was just jaunting by, on my way to a much anticpated lebanese cuisine experience, when my eyes came across this pub. At first I though, "no, i shoudlnt", but with the slightest second thought I found myself wandering in.

I was greeted by Hugh who poured me a pint of Guinness with delight. Now let me tell you, I enjoy a Guinness wherever it is offered, but I do find myself always comparing the pint to the nectar only found true in Dublin. However, this may have been the best pint since I've been in Dublin. No small order, to be sure.

Hugh was a pleasure to chat to. The Copa America game was on, which I caught the first few minutes of. A short and sweet visit, but I'll be...
