Where the concierge points people first
- Paddy Reilly's Music Bar — On Second Avenue in Kips Bay, and the one to pick if what you want is live Irish music rather than a screen. The pub leans hard on its Guinness; look at the night's line-up before you go. (40.7417, -73.9784)
- Farrell's Bar & Grill — Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn, by the south-west corner of Prospect Park. Open since 1933, famously plain, and known for serving beer in huge foam cups the regulars call containers. (40.6602, -73.9803)
- Tír na Nóg — Right by Penn Station and Madison Square Garden, which makes it the practical choice before a train or a game. Expect it to be packed on event nights. (40.7559, -73.9921)
- Ulysses — On Stone Street, the cobbled pedestrian lane in the Financial District, where the tables spill outside in warm weather. Busy with office crowds straight after work, calmer later, and it keeps late hours. (40.7044, -74.0100)

A New York pint is smaller than a Dublin one
An American pint is 16 US fluid ounces, about 473 ml; an Irish or British pint is 20 imperial ounces, about 568 ml. So the pint you order in a Manhattan Irish pub is roughly a sixth smaller than the one in Dublin, whatever the glass looks like. For football, the Irish pubs are where early Premier League kick-offs get shown, which on a Saturday can mean the first game starts around 7.30 in the morning New York time. If a particular match or a GAA final matters to you, ask the pub ahead which screen it will be on.
