Daly’s Pub

What a great pub! We came here for superbowl on a Sunday night and this pub definitely delivered an amazing experience.
Like a rail road style bar, they had TVs everywhere so it was practically impossible to miss any actions that was going on. Once the game started they lower the lights and their sound system was definitely spot on.
The vibe is chill, the energy was pump and the bartenders where great!
Everything was reasonable priced and their pub felt clean and certainly did not smell bad like some other bars that I’ve been to.

Casual laid back bar. Mix of ages in there. They have tvs and great beer can’t go wrong.

Stopped by Daly’s Pub for a quick beer while waiting for some friends for dinner around 7pm. I love the ambiance in here with the copper finishes and simple decorations on the wall. It was nice seeing the syracuse flags on the walls. Didn’t think there would be a bar in NYC that supported Western NY.
I had to order a Guinness, seeing that its an Irish bar. Plus it helps that is my favorite beer. The bartender at the time poured the perfect pint for me. I ended up reading the other reviews for Daly’s Pub and will definitely be back for their Bloody Mary at one point or another. I did love that they kept the Macallan and Jameson on their own separate shelves.
The one thing I didn’t like was the 20 $ minimum when you pay by card. I probably should have asked prior to ordering the beer but maybe letting me know ahead of time would be good, I just wanted to stop for one beer not order drinks. Thankfully I had some cash…
All in all, Daly’s a great neighborhood pub in a sea of hipster bars. It makes me sad that the places serving Guinness’ are slowly disappearing.

A great neighborhood bar that I visit almost weekly with my Astoria social softball team. The bartenders are great, there’s darts to play, and the beer is cheap. There’s a tiny outdoor back area that’s nice to check out when the weather is warm, and they bring in live music for special events. No kitchen, which is why it loses a star (and it’d be nice if the beer selection was mixed up a bit more often), but you can bring food in and there’s an awesome food truck right around the corner.

On a recent visit to New York, we found ourselves in Astoria. Naturally, we had to check out the best bloody mary in the area. Per the interwebs, that spot would be Daly’s Pub.
Kate, our very friendly bartender, gladly whipped one up for us and chatted for a bit.
This bloody was quite flavorful. It’s also quite charming that this bar does not serve food, but they have baskets of Doritos on the bar, a surprisingly good compliment to the bloody. Thanks so much for your hospitality, Daly’s!

Thanks for responding. It was this past Saturday night. I don’t know his name but he’s probably mid-​late 30’s with very short hair. I have no idea why he had such a problem with my friend.

Great Pub. Big comfortable space, great location, reasonable prices, and an amazing friendly staff! You can’t go wrong.

Completely unpretentious with a chilled out energy, this place has won me over as the go-​to spot among the many other bars in the immediate vicinity. I’ve been here when it’s been real busy on Super Bowl Sunday and at slower times on a regular week night, and the relaxed atmosphere remains the same. The drinks are inexpensive. Pints of Guinness are poured just right by attentive bartenders who give buy-​backs. The few times that I’ve been here, the bartenders have been really nice. Kerry always has a smile and a kind word to share. On one visit, I dropped my hat and thought I lost it but Jason kept an eye out for it, found it and returned it, which was much appreciated. Little gestures like that definitely encourage return visits. All in all, this place has a really good and comfortable vibe that complements alcohol consumption.

I came in for wine but Carrie was an extremely awesome bartender. She was great at guiding us two girls from Alabama and DC to Manhatten. When I return to Astoria, I will visit again if only for red wine.

This place has a bit of everything, so many patrons will love this place. It’s a casual bar without a hipster ambiance (thank you) that has live music acts, a DJ, karaōke and good, cheap drinks (check their Facebook fan page for more info:
). While the drink selection is your typical stuff, they sometimes have free pizza on Sundays and BBQ food during the summer. The space is small, but it’s not that bad and can comfortably house 60 people at once (emphasis on «comfortably»). I like the fact that it does events and free food because it caters to a more friendly vibe with customers.
P. S.: Every Super Bowl Sunday, they have a all-​you-​can-​eat BBQ buffet with purchase that is SO good. Get there about an hour early to get the best eats before they’re gone: P

Awesome bar!!! Rauri is awesome they buy pizzas on Sundays and BBQ in summer they really care about there customers and all bartenders are amazing especially Kerry

If you enjoy a laid back, casual atmosphere then this place is for you. Even if you don’t live in Astoria it’s always a fun place to visit. I’m sure everyone has at least one friend who lives in Astoria.
Staff is great and really friendly. They also have reasonably priced drinks.

This is a great neighborhood bar. It gets fairly busy on the weekends, but it’s never been packed when I’ve gone. A couple times I’ve gone, they’ve had a DJ, who has put up with my friends and I and played all our requests for dance-​y pop music. They also have a small backyard which has a long bench and a couple of tables. Also, they serve the «best Bloody Mary’s in Astoria,» and they are actually quite amazing and I believe are buy 2 get 1 free.

Plain old irish bar with a nice outdoor garden bar in backyard. Ended up here when we couldn’t get into Astoria open garden bar for the world cup match.

Low key pub in Astoria, friendly staff as the bartender seemed to know everyone. Definitely popular with the locals. Sports on as well and a pint was $ 5.50 so very reasonable for NY. About 10 beers on tap and a good selection of liquor.

Great place to relax. A local Irish pub and sports bar. The kind of place where you come often, know the bartenders by name and a few of the regulars. Third time here and I’ve already met some fascinating people and had a great time every time.

I’m going to confess, I may have seen Daly’s pub through rose-​tinted (or most likely in this case whiskey-​tinted glasses).
Daly’s pub was kind of a dark and dingy place right underneath the bridge to the Broadway Station, it looks a little like a dive bar mixed in with a pub. The first impression is difficult to shrug off, right underneath the subway, black tar painted door and signs, it looks like the love child of a dive bar and a good old fashioned Irish fighting pub.
At first when my boyfriend and I entered the bar we ordered our drinks and sat down in the corner somewhere and watched the game that was on. Soon I got bored, sat at the bar and started chatting to an old man about Astoria. Again, top tip for people that go to bars: talk to some of the regulars they have interesting stories. He told me that he had lived there most his life and didn’t ever plan on leaving because why would you? Astoria is great! I smiled and joked and laughed, talked about where I was from and after about 30 to 40 minutes, rosy cheeked and significantly intoxicated left his side to rejoin my anti-​social boyfriend.
Finally when the game ended, we found a space at the bar, shuffled up and the bartender placed two shot glasses in front of us. «From Tommy» he noted. Tommy was the man I was talking to. It made me stupid happy, I ordered two Jameson shots and the bartender gave me a double because… and I quote «Why not.» Here’s the thing about bartenders on a busy night… it’s busy and they’re going to seem cranky but really if you chat with them and smile (and evidently be REALLY DRUNK but friendly enough) they’ll be nice to you. I shuffled over to Tommy, patted him on the back and drank my shot to his good health and then… regretted drinking the shot when I inevitably was paying homage to the porcelain gods 4 hours later (we’ve all been there.)
Aside from what would appear to have been a messy night, when I look back on it I realized the people were amiable and, despite the awkward introduction, Daly’s pub has a warm aura; I just had to dig for it. I would probably go when there was less noise, primarily because I enjoy my pubs with little to no music at all but that’s just preference. My boyfriend even noted that if we lived in Astoria he would probably become a regular of Daly’s and that’s the highest honor that I can bestow upon a place. It’s simple, it’s a good place for a good beer, with (hopefully) some good people. Chat with them, because you’ll never find out if you don’t.
Things that are noteworthy: The minimum charge for card is $ 20 but that included two beers and two Jameson’s and Gingers which is pretty damn good for New York.

Came here on Friday night for an event my boyfriend’s good friend was throwing. It was a charity event in which plates of delicious homemade pasta, meat balls, salad and Italian bakery cookies were sold to raise money for her track team’s cancer research efforts — Lymphoma society to be more specific.
I didn’t really get to enjoy the bar as a bar since I (this is shocking, I know) didn’t drink any alcohol here at all. I enjoyed a pint of ice water here with my food because I was on a budget this weekend (which I eventually went over on my credit card anyway… sigh) and admission to this event was $ 13, which turned into double that since I covered my boyfriend’s admission also since I owned him from when he paid for dinner the Sunday prior for me and my guy friend… yep. Anywhoo, I think it was really cool of this bar to let them host this event. I got a really nice community feel here.
As a bar this place is a pretty cool, low-​key, neighborhood Irish pub with regular pub prices, dim lighting an outdoor patio and wooden seats/​tables. The temperature on this particular night was chilly outside and perhaps it was because the backdoor was left open for periods of time, but I was freezing inside.
I would come back seeing as their happy hour is decent, the clientele isn’t douchey and its right by the train. More of a 3.5 rating that could easily turn into a 4 if I went back and had a proper bar night here, lol.

A simple pub in the area. Regular beer selection and lots of TVs. Good place in the area for a quick drink or to watch the game.

I came to Daly’s for Unilocal Drinks last night with Kristen B. and had a pretty good time! I tried the Elderflower Collins, which was delicious. I’ve never had elderflower, Collins mix, or gin, and enjoyed all three in this lychee-​like cocktail.
For four drinks, and thanks to the Unilocal Drinks discount, we paid only $ 16 ($ 20 after tip).
The bartender was really friendly, and curious about Unilocal Drinks as a whole, and even gave us his positive and cool thoughts on the other participating bars.
One of the random, or rather eccentric moments of our evening was when a man came in who was throwing a spontaneous «welcome home» party for his girlfriend. He asked us to participate, bribing us with food. We didn’t eat his food, but we joined in with the rest of the bar to welcome his ladyfriend back from Florida.
I would definitely come back to Daly’s, especially to try their other interesting cocktail concoctions.
