Neighborhood bar where locals gather and everybody knows everybody. Also tourists as from Central Park. Projector playing sports. Stiff drinks and fair prices. Small bathroom and good food.

Nearest Irish Pub to the Beacon Theater that I could find. Went for a few pre-concert libations and it did not disappoint. Our bartender, Mary was excellent, bar food was great, good drinks and good Guinness. Only complaint was the lack of...Read More

This place is an oasis in the desert of BS bars that surround it. If you just want a place to drink a beer and be comfortable, this is your only option in the area. So glad it exists.

This bar has amazing staff, the perfect authentic dive bar for the UWS. The corned beef sandwich is 10X better than Pastrami Queen, Katz's, and Sarge's.

Malachy's has no equal on the upper west side. It is the perfect Irish dive bar and, as I prepare to leave the neighborhood, I will miss stopping in for a beer here once every week or so immensely.

We stopped by for a couple of beers and some food. Don't let the scruffy outside fool you, the venue is nice and comfortable inside. The beer was good, burger very nice, and the service was very friendly. Would definitely go again.

We went out looking for a dive bar, but Malachy's is slightly better than that. It is dark and narrow, but the prices aren't as low as a dive bar would be. Thankfully their drinks are higher quality than dive bars though. The guy behind...Read More

This place is absolutely phenomenal. Normally I like to leave long and detailed reviews but instead, I'll just give you this very true story. At the end of our meal when the server asked my fiance and I "how was everything," we simultaneously responded, "amazing." The server...Read More

A very typical Irish bar, but their staff are extremely friendly! Food was above average for a pub. I wouldn't recommend for a sports bar! Try their chicken sandwich which is delicious!
