I travel from PA to Manhattan and this is my local away from home. I love the atmosphere and folks there! Drinks are great and they have really fun events that I have attended in the past. Love their Chicken Curry plate and Shepherd’s Pie dish.

Mark and crew make everyone feel welcome and I am planning a meetup in June for our online business there. They have attractive private function packages that made them the best choice to hold our event. http://www.nellyspillanes.com/private-functions.php

I have brought friends there and they have loved it too!

I think their pricing is fair and they have a great lunch menu that they have recently introduced. Entertainment and DJ have been also really good.

I’ll continue to see Nelly Spillane’s as my favourite Irish local pub when I visit NYC. Overall, I have been impressed and would agree with the writer of this review on their observations. I can say this as I have been there well over a dozen times already. Service, food, and drinks have been consistently good.

Still misfiring on a few cylinders. The pic of the HH sign is good, but…. pic of the sampler platter and no mention of food prices? And you went on about the Guinness, but how much is a pint here? Were the wings really that good? $5-6? $8? These things are important to ML’ers! A review like this should provide more answers than questions. For most people, the important thing isn’t how chummy we can get with the bartender….

The front half of the sampler platter looks very tasty, especially the spicy little nugget in the green blouse

At least they misuse apostrophes on their sign — apparently the plural of martini and wine adds apostrophe + s, but not bottle.

44 degrees is still too cold, but since Diageo claims it should be served 37-40 degrees, I guess it’s a start (and at least it isn’t “Guinness Extra Cold”, found at terrible pubs in England for years). A better start would be to ignore Guinness entirely.

But having a good bartender and good crowd trumps any of that. The whole point of Happy Hour is to be social while drinking!

food was pretty mediocre/terrible when I went a couple months ago.

place is as authentic as Olive Garden is Italian.

at least Rattle N Hum has a decent beer selection

I’ve heard that bar charges BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS prices for mixed drinks and food. I’ve never been, but I’m pretty sure a bunch of co-workers were furious at how insane the pricing was…which they didn’t know until after they received the bill.
