Slane

Anyone know what happened to this place, I saw it closed, wasnt it supposed to move to another area nearby ?
Used to by one of my favorite /​go-​to bars in the city to start the night with ! Very cool staff, good space, and good music !

This dump is closed forever.
Good riddance.

I actually kind of like this bar. It’s a fun atmosphere the service is above average and everyone there is pretty nice. It’s a bit pricey though and crowded. Which is why I’m giving it 3 stars instead of 4; but hey that’s what you should expect from a bar in that area.

–prompt service
–wasn’t overly crowded for a Saturday evening
–friendly staff
–nothing I’d go out of my way to visit again, but good neighborhood watering hole
–reasonable prices

We dropped by Slane late on a Sunday night, looking for a place with the kitchen still open. We ordered a couple burgers and beer, and it was a lot better than we had expected. The meat was very flavourful and cooked as I had asked. I didn’t go crazy with the toppings, so it was a very simple and delicious burger.
It was quite live compared to some of the other bars on the street so late at night. It seems like a great neighbour pub, and it felt like there were a lot of regulars.

This place was ok. The music was good, but a bit dated. I liked the décor a lot as well. The crowd was eclectic… to put it nicely. Not a bad place, but I don’t know if I would come back.
Good music, and nice ambiance, but good luck getting a beer.

Very relaxed irish bar. I ate a crusted salmon dish, which was far better than expected for your average pub grub.
$ 20 for two IPA’s and a decent meal is a bargain in NYC. Thumbs up to this place!

Great bar/​pub on macdougal street, the staff here is super friendly (composed primiarly of irish bartenders) and they put together some great drink specials during the week. Great place to go into, listen to some music (live at some points on weekdays) or eat some of their pub food (yummy burgers), a place I like to frequent when in the area.

Chill and unpretentious bar in the village. Great location, $ 4 Newcastle special on Friday nights (and possibly other days), friendly and attentive service, fun music including some throwbacks, and the proper ratio of 2:1 bathrooms for girls: guys. Love this place. Can’t speak to the food, but perhaps I’ll find out about it in the near future.

Best Irish bar in NYC… having a stint in Dublin Ireland, I can a test that the this is the best Guinness in NYC, and it still won’t hold a candle to the brew server in The Emerald Isle… now with that being said… I LOVE THE BARTENDERS!
Jackie and Stephen are attentive, friendly and exude pure AWESOMENESS! They really make the place. Ask Stephen to make you a salty pretzel next time you are there :)
The venue is pretty cool, they have candles lite in the divots of the wall, and they have 2 female restrooms… nicely marked as Woman or Ladies (score for the extra pisser!)
The food is pretty standard bar food — the burgers are good, the Turkey/​Avocado/​Mozzarella/​Tomato is great. The pick 6 sampler you can’t go wrong with.
Live music every night, and they show all the sporting events including soccer :)
Hands down one of my favorite local pubs!

This is my favorite «Pub» in Manhattan. It’s located on the end of the MacDougal strip (between Bleecker and West 3^rd) which is full of bars. The place definitely has personality.
The biggest asset here are the bartenders. They are all Irish, and know how to make a drink. They can even pour Guinness correctly (yes there is a proper way). When you become a regular, it makes it even more of an experience to frequent the joint.
I’d say if you must visit an Irish Bar in New York, look no further!

The only lounge/​bar on McDougal street that was probably not overflowing with people. Had a good quiet time with my girlfriends. Had only drinks. The waitress was attentive.
Did not have food here since the kitchen was closed at 11:00 pm.

The reviews for Slane are all over the place, and I’m here to add a don’t bother to the list.
What I was Thinking: Slane has a happy hour on Saturday night. Awesome. $ 4 cosmos and margaritas.
Truth: There is no point to happy hour when the drink are like water. I’m pretty sure my cosmopolitan had no alcohol. I’m a tiny tiny girl. I don’t hold alcohol so well. If I can’t tell I’ve had a drink, we have a BIG problem.
Thought: Bar food! I love chicken tenders! Appetizer platter said to serve six! Perfect! Three of us can totally eat for six.
Truth: Who on earth pays $ 20 for an appetizer platter that can’t even serve three people? Your choice of four appetizers. We received 5 potato skins, 3 ½ chicken tender, 6 buffalo wings, and half of a quesadilla. Uhhh. I could have eaten the whole thing by myself. Lets reestablish, I’m tiny. The waitress even came over afterwards and was EXPECTING us to be mad about the size. Bad sign.
Skippppp it.

Typically I’m not a fan of Irish bars. I feel like there’s a better bar option nearby every time. But I ended up here on a Saturday night after a recommendation from a friend, and I wasn’t disappointed. The bartenders were both super cool and down to earth, possibly the friendliest in NYC. I was able to sample 2 beers before actually placing an order, and got no attitude about it.
To make my visit even better, I ran into James Murray from Impractical Jokers there and had a nice conversation with him. Sweet!

By far, one of my favorite bars in NYC. Great food, great drinks and great people.
Food is brilliant value. The Chicken Curry is my personal favorite but the Sizzling Steak, Stuffed Chicken, Nachos, Wings, Fish & Chips are all winners too. Great selection on the menu from appetizers, sandwiches/​wraps/​paninis, salads to old pub favorites.
Great drink specials that last all day — what else could you want? One of the few places that does Amstell Wheat on tap. Happy days. Plenty of beer, wine and cocktails to choose from. It’s a great place for shots too.
Service was flawless. Staff are brilliant fun and really attentive. Most are Irish which adds to the feel of the place. «Full of the craic» as we say. As a Dublin girl, I can confirm its an authentic Irish pub.
Live music and live sports. It has everything you could possibly need.
Overall, Slane is the place to be any day or night of the week.

No IPA on tap and beer will cost you 6 – 7 $ a bottle for anything decent. Very limited tap selection.

I love Irish pubs and I jump at the chance to drink and eat (notice the order of priority there) at one any chance I get. My GF suggested this place to meet for some grub before we went to a concert on a Monday. She goes there all of the time for events with her company.
Nice looking clean place with the usual ingredients for a great bar. Lots of finely weathered wood, brick walls (with cool cut outs for candles) and pictures of old time Ireland all over. Football match was being played on the TV’s. We took a seat and one of the few tables they have at the place and I ordered a pint of Smithwicks, the girl had a blue moon. Ice cold and filled to the top, just the way i like it.
We both ordered fish and chips and I have to say that I am in the midst of compiling a fish and chips list for Unilocal and this might be number one. Most pubs open up a bag of fries and the Gordan’s fish sticks and call it fish and chips. None of that crap here. The fish was flaky and falling apart as we ate it. Great batter for the fish that made it nice and light but still firm enough for a great crust. The fries were nice and fresh also. Maybe not handmade, but fresh none the less. Top it off with a great tartar sauce and malt vinegar and I was a happy boy.
The service was awesome as well. The guy behind the bar (who’s name escapes me, but he had an Irish accent… yeah, like that helps) He was the only one there with a packed bar and a couple of people eating and i never felt like we waited long at all. Now I know why my GF’s company goes there all of the time. Great pints, great food and even better staff. Sláinte!

Just an average pub in greenwhich village. Had a few drinks with friends but there really isn’t too much to write home about. TVs all over the place allows for watching the current sports game, which apparently was rugby at the time.
I didn’t really spend enough time here to give it more of a review but hey, when youre thirsty for a beer why not stop by.

After settling in from the bitter winter cold with a good friend, we were immersed for a in-​depth conversation though it should not stop the bar tender/​waitress from the near fifteen minute delay to take our orders. Snail service to take our order from the waitress as the woman was at the bar giving her full attention to patrons there. Short staff depicts a business owner/​management poor efficiency for allocating resources of employees. Thus, the fine art of conversation in conjunction with the craft of good customer service skills greatly declined into the TOILET! One burger with French Fries accompanied with one soda for my friend as I indulged in one turkey wrap with salad totaled approximately $ 23.00. Yes, cheap eats indeed. Quality of food was okay, though the lunch menu did not contain anything remotely Irish. Where are the famous, traditional Irish staples… Shepard’s Pie, Irish soda bread, Irish stew, and Crubeens pig’s trotters? Nope, not found at Slane Public House. Food sets the mood and steer the conversation at the table as it is the unspoken international language… as humans we all have to eat. Yet the staff allowed us to continue to be immersed in our serious conversation to dispel poison without rushing us out when payment was fulfilled.
There is a raised seating area… possibly a stage for live performances. The manager/​owner bears no common sense for energy conservation as I was sitting diagonally where the door was open blowing Dies Irae wind for coldness creeping in. Slane Public House was okay as it surely was ordinary, with nothing beyond the extraordinary.
The sink faucet are entirely reversed for the universal handles as Right dispel hot water and Left dispel cold water.

Stopped honoring NYC-​beer-​a-​thon commitment half-​way through the night.
Come on guys, you agreed to do the beer-​a-​thon and then went back on your word!
The bouncer said we could go in and buy drinks if we wanted… but we already bought them!
Fail, too many bars out there to put up with this.
