Has to serve one of the best shepherds pie that I’ve ever eaten. Seriously.The others enjoyed their chicken & burger as well.Nice little neighborhood pub. Good service. Clean bathrooms. -

Swung by on a Saturday night, the regular crowd was strolling in. No reservations needed but was filling up the later it got. A very comfortable spot in Midtown East. Pretty good fish and chips, The Sirloin was a value. The service was very friendly. -

Some friends and family recently held a memorial brunch service at Parnells and it was a really lovely time. The staff at Parnells are top notch people - friendly, fast, thoughtful, and caring. For what was at times a somber occasion, the Parnells crew took care of all of us. Never had an empty glass or plate that lingered. Food was great - fresh and cooked just right. Big thank you to the Sunday morning crew at Parnells for serving good food, good spirits, and friendly smiles. -

I’ve been here a few times over the past couple years to meet with a friend/business colleague who is a regular. In midtown Manhattan it’s hard to find bars anymore that are nice and still have a “local feel”. This place is great. The atmosphere is nice . The burger is great and the drinks are very fairly priced for Manhattan. Very close the the UN and Consulate district so you get a nice blend of folks from time to time . Cheers! -

Consistently good food and service is great except after 9pm they close the back dining room, strange because the restaurant is open until 11 most nites and the kitchen is in the back. Depending upon the night the cuisine can be spectacular. The special 3-taco special is superb as well as Duck a lOrange if you hit a nite when the real chef is there. Fantastic warm atmosphere, tablecloths, well-spaced tables. We are extremely lucky to have such a well-run, lovely pub in our neighborhood. I take all guests and friends there. They love it too!BTW some nites there are drunk people sitting at tables who shout loudly when speaking, but they are cheerful and mean no harm - part of the atmosphere! -

Great Irish food, great service, great beer. Its bigger than it looks in the back in the dining area, and the noise from the bar area wasnt as loud as I thought it would be. You can sit in the back and forget that theres a bar up front, you can enjoy your meal. -

Nice, quiet pub with a nostalgic vibe. Live music on some nights. Bartender was fantastic. I ordered the shepherds pie. I cant say its anywhere near the best Ive had, but it was hearty and warm. Cant complain. -

Parnells is one of the last of the old-time bar-and-grills that I know of in my neighborhood. It has a similar feel as the gathering place of my friends and I during and after the time we attended NYU, the Cedar Tavern. Both establishments knew how to char-grill burgers, setting themselves apart from the others that heat up the burgers on a steel slab. (Jackson Hole is a notable exception to this quasi-indictment.) However, today being Easter Sunday, we elected to order the Sunday Dinner Special, turkey with trimmings. It was fine, as was the service. They always have had outdoor seating in the summer+ months, but thanks to the CCPVirus restrictions, they have expanded and partitioned the seating area, and have provided space heaters for those who feel ill from the chill. We will return, especially since we didnt get the burger that propelled us to Parnells in the first place. -

Stopped here at this pub like atmosphere for Lunch. Awesome corned beef sandwich and had the soup of the day-tortilla soup. Just the right amount of spices. They have it spot on with Irish and Mexican cuisine. -

Nice service and warm welcoming environment. I wish theyd up their food game just a bit more and it would be a real winner. Some things are very good, but small things like the fries having that horrible frozen bag taste that make it an uneven experience. -

Great place. A gem. I passed this place millions of time but never tried. But I could not have lunch and they offered a early bird (dinner) special. Only $20 soup and salad inclusive. Atmosphere was cozy and nice female server (with a lovely accent and I love diversity in area!). I added an Irish beer too. I regret that I did not much earlier but will come more times for food and beer -

Typical Irish-style pub, there is a quiet and muffled atmosphere in a perfect dim light for drinking a good beer or eating typical Irish-US mix dishes. At the table or on the classic stools at the counter, a courteous and rapid service listens to you and satisfies your orders. There is also good free wi-fi. -

Review 148 (2012-02-04 - Rating: 5)
I was passing by and decided to have a bite to eat. The room closest to the entrance near the bar is noisy and crowded. It’s quiet in the back, sometimes elderly people come in (in the forty to forty-five minutes that I spent here, I saw only elderly people). Very tasty and suspiciously inexpensive. In Moscow, for that kind of money you can only eat at fast food. -

Review 150 (2014-09-28 - Rating: 5)
Good location (new location, 350 East, 53rd Street (First Avenue) NYC for about 1 monthLarge selection of beers, both NYC beer like Brass and many imported beers like Becks or Leffe. Kitchen absolutely recommended, the selection is a little smaller than on the online menu but really good. Atmosphere very successful, dark wood, raw bricks, ancient tip cash register and high-quality copper pots on the ceiling as decoration. Typically American, there are several TVs that are usually silent and can be viewed from every corner of the restaurant. Sports and the stock market are shown. Staff very friendly, already on the 3rd visit 2 employees knew us by name (and type of beer). Finally, a small downside, the toilets are clean and absolutely US + standard, unfortunately the cabins are not completely closed, similar to the airports can be a problem for nervous people, but still much better than most other places I know in NYC. Absolute recommendation. -
