The Flying Cock — Restaurant in New York

The noise - jeez Louise, it's loud in here. The first time we came here was during the winter so the front door was closed, which probably caused the surprise when we were assaulted by the volume of lots of very loud people in the joint. I think I was slightly stunned for a few seconds! I was seriously considering turning round and leaving but decided to give it a try anyway. I thought the noise issue might be because it was a Friday night, but we've been here other times and it's just as loud. It's an Irish pub/restaurant, guess we'll just have to accept that.

As it was, the food was really yummy. We've had the burger, the Irish breakfast, the waffle and turkey wrap. All have been very nice. So, I can forgive the noise levels for that.

There are several areas in the place, 2 bars and various seating areas to eat. When it was warm enough they had tables out front and we chose that the last time we went. And thankfully it was probably the quietest part of the place so that we could enjoy our food in relative peace. If you don't mind the traffic from 3rd Avenue going by, but that's actually much quieter than inside the pub...8) Unusually, for the US, the outside pub seating requires you to order at the inside bar first and leave your credit card with the bar as there's no wait staff outside. But there was no real difference in service speed and when you're ready you can just go pay up your tab and leave. I kind of prefer that in some ways, sort of like the way it's done in...

Bottomless brunch is $25 + the price of the entree you want, which is the usual price for your NYC boozy brunch. I love that I had options between Bloody Marys, Mimosas and Bellinis (had Mimosas and Bellinis which were both good). Shots are definitely more on the expensive side being $9 for a tequila shot. RIP to my bank account since we did 3 rounds of shots 😭. For my entree, I had the brunch burger (pictured below) which was good but not anything special and the fries were pretty decent as well but again nothing special. I also split a stack of their cinnamon roll pancakes with my friends and we devoured it for good reason. The cakes itself weren't dense and rather nice and fluffy and the cinnamon swirl in the pancakes gives it a very small bit of crunch in some parts, so if you're a texture eater you'll love this.

Overall, I would come back here to try their other entrees as well. The atmosphere was great and the waitress was very sweet and patient, which I appreciated since we were a large group. I HIGHLY recommend you make a reservation or else you'll be waiting for a good minute. Also, they have seating outside which is a great idea especially on a bright and sunny day since the seating is not in...

ZERO STARS FOR SERVICE !!!! I had a horrible experience at this location. Today is Saint Patrick’s Day 3/16/24 and I wanted to come to this location after hearing great things about it… only to be terribly disappointed. My Friends and I sat at the bar and ordered our drinks from the rudest FEMALE bartender (ELSA). She not only gave her self a 20% tip after charging us and she was very rude, dismissive and just out right nasty. The fact that my boyfriend and I paid our separate bill & she tried to charge me additional drinks and rush me to pay a bill that I was not responsible FOR. Then after informing her that I had specifically told her I was paying for his drink and mine and that she had over charged me, she caught an attitude. Then fixed the bill and then added her self gratuity which I know is illegal because a restaurant and or bar have the right to add self gratuity to a large party, and taxes to all parties but not self gratuity. She gave us all attitude and was rolling her eyes. I can’t express the dissatisfaction and disappointment of coming here. IM OK YOU CAN KEEP THE TIP $$ I WILL NEVER COME BACK AND I WILL INFORM MY NYC FRIENDS AS WELL BECAUSE THAT TYPE OF ATTITUDE IS...
