O'Hara's Pub Reviews

As far as Irish pubs go, this one exceeds expectations. With TWO bars and a friendly bar staff, this place will make you feel at home no matter who you are. Right next to the world trade center, this pub seems like it was a place for firefighters and police to pay tribute to the New York first responders. The walls are lined with patches of fire and police precincts from across the country. This is a local bar that carries it's own history, like it is just waiting to be filmed.

Great traditionally style east coast American bar. Reminded a little of the bars in Boston. Good bears and ambiance. Food is good, but nothing special for the price though. Good location for a drink in the Downtown area and near Battery Park.

It's location makes it a 'place', but the reality is that this is a classic NYC Irish bar. Cold beer. Quality drinks. Great burger, crispy steak fries and a great bar staff. The real deal.

My food was ok. I got the grilled cheese and bacon with sweet potato fries. The cheese was barely melted and the bread was too hard with no type of butter taste. The place was packed though and the bartenders were very busy. I've had better food on other visits.

Went to 911 museum and was looking for somewhere to have a bite to eat.Came across O'haras just down the side of the fire station.What a place,ended up staying in there a couple of hours having food and more than a couple of beers,Magners aswell. Amazing bar,good very mice and staff very friendly will be going back when we visit New York again

Nice place with great food and where you can buy their t-shirts.

The food and atmosphere here were great. Staff was excellent. I will definitely be back the next time I am in the city.

This is where many of the first responders ate during the aftermath.

Great place. Great food. Better staff. Don t miss it!

Loved it! Burger was awesome and staff friendly and attentive. And love the atmosphere! My kind of place.

Great place, courteous and helpful staff, md fair pricing. Local place 2 blocks away from the World Trade Center. Highly recommended

A very special place in the history of this wonderful city, you should never have passed what happened.

Cozy and great place to drink a beer when you are down and see the World Trade Center.

Good bar food nice atmosphere even with all the cops

Fast and helpful service, the food was tasty and the atmosphere is lively and tasty.

Fantastic kitchen, atmosphere and beer , inside many place, good music, 2 bars, very good service. You should be visit this place, absolutly, but first you reservation, because many people like this place . I recommend

The atmosphere was so cool. Ask for the 9/11 photo book! Food was okay, but we only got sandwiches so we can't judge!
If you're a emergency responder, police officer, military etc... bring a unit patch!

This place is awesome, super friendly staff and the food is delicious

A couple of us visited this pub because it was conveniently located next door to our hotel. I guess we shouldn't have been so lazy that night. This place has a lot of what I will call character but that's all I will say about that. It looks like something straight off a tv show. A bit divey. I'm sure the locals love it but as someone visiting I was underwhelmed. Ok getting past all of this as mentioned in other reviews there is the fact that its located across the street from the World Trade Towers. A lot of history here.

Unfortunately I wish the food lived up to the character of the bar. I know this is a bar but if you are going to serve food please make it a little attractive. We all ordered burgers. They were a nice size but the flavor was nill. I also had a Long Island Iced Tea which was good but after we ate we dipped out of the place.

Great selection of beers, fish sandwich was also good. Can be a bit loud but solid place all around.

Even if you're not a regular here, they treat you like one of the regulars. I've come to this bar a few times over the last couple of years. This bar is synonymous with being open after the 9/11 attacks serving beer to first responders. If you are ever near the World trade Center, make sure you stop by this neighborhood institution, you won't be disappointed!

What a place, beautiful .. typical English pub you can say, chock full of law enforcement patches from any country in the world. Find yourself next to the fire station adjacent to great zero, it only makes you go in for that. delicious sandwiches also friendliness and super top service..super recommended

Awesome bar! The location is perfect if you are visiting the World Trade Center and the 9/11 Memorial. I highly suggest the buffalo chicken tenders and any of their burgers. Also, the book with pictures of the bar around 9/11 is something you have to see. Definitely my favorite bar in NYC.

We enjoy this place. Almost every time we go to Manhattan we stop in O'Hara's. Good beer list, really good food and the prices are much better than most restaurants in the city.
Good Food
Good Value
Good Atmosphere
Great Management

Old school pub serves classic pub food. It was damaged during 911 it stayed open for all the cops and firefighters. Inside are patches from around the world.

Ordered a burger medium rare. They brought me a burger that was so raw that it was just goo on the inside. It was literally falling apart. The waiter insisted that what I got was medium rare, but agreed to have it remade. They brought me a hockey puck, which I ate half of because I needed food, but I couldn't finish it because it was so dry. I won't be going back.

Great atmosphere, nice service and beer variety! Good mix of locals and tourists!

Great food, good beer, awesome atmosphere and awesome be prices. A must go.

Great food. Management was great. Not baby friendly for bathrooms. No kids menu's. 1st server wasn't very helpful.

Great experience, very fast service. Had more than one server for all customers, one for drinks, one to take food order, and one serve. Food was cooked to order and served hot. Hade a decent selection of pub food at reasonable prices.

Before (three times) visit this time is disappointing. All tables reserved so we only took beers at the bar counter. A bad day for the bartender. Said and later spilled beer on us. Appeared in the tip.

Phenomenal place. Staff are very friendly and provide a warm and welcoming atmosphere. They have a great knowledge of the city and can direct. Food is good and a great selection of drinks. Ask to see there scrap book for a bit of history.

Best Irish bar in new york.astmosphere amazing. Great beer great food.great staff. From 2inf Battalion association

I was rec. This place by the world Trade Center lady. I almost cried and was overwhelmed with joy at the history of the place!

This restaurant is where the responders; police, firefighters, military, etc. I apologize in advance for any responders left out. The atmosphere busy with all stopping by for food and beverages.

Good food, drink, service but very busy and noisy when we called.

Amazing place!
The staff is friendly, the interior is full of stripes/chevrons from all over the world, the outside view is beautiful. Love it!

Nice joint, had the shepard's pie and it was pretty solid. Good atmosphere.

It's a nice bar. Not much more to say. Apart from the homage to New York's finest of course

Great Irish bar for first responders. Would go back

St. Patrick's Day was packed, but the service was excellent!

Interesting decor with patches from fire and policemen from all over! I heard they have a long history with local first responders since 9/11. Food and drinks are otherwise standard for a pub.

First of all let me just say WOW. 3 words. Burgers. Kevin. Handsome.... Oh and some beer too. Kevin brings a certain ambiance that simply cannot be replaced. Will see you there soon!

Awesome place meals are delicious and amazing giving a great service. Staff are very supportive and friendly. Very Thank you so much to being my day was special. I definitely recommend.b

Great for every fire department man / woman a must show album!

Friendly bartenders willing to lend you an ear and quick cold beer. Looking forward to coming back the next time I'm in town.

This is a cozy pub right near the 9/11 memorial. The food was great and the atmosphere was relaxed and fun.

Traditional Irish pub fare. Nothing outstanding but comfortable environment.

We only had a drink here, but it was a great place to stop for a while

Guiness on tap. Great French onion soup. Large tasty burgers.

Excellent atmosphere, good food, a lovely little find.

This place should be preserved as a historical site thanks to that whole staff and Paul, millions leave ground zero with an uplifting feeling....I have brought military veterans [USAF TACPs] here and will be bringing patches, thanks for the memories Paul.

I first experienced the O'Haras atmosphere when doing a memorial 9/11 event in NYC. The bar is located right at Ground Zero, and was directly affected by that days tragedies. Regardless, as a gathering place for many police and fire personnel and their families, there is a ton of history here. Warm and welcoming, the employees make the bar. This is a must visit on any trip to NYC.

If you visit the 9/11 museum, you must go here too (it's literally over the road). I don't want to give away too much, but it's kind of a museum in itself. Great staff, excellent choice of drinks.

Great food and staff that makes you feel right at home

Great food and wonderful 9/11 story. Ask to see the scrapbook if you have time.

They accommodated our large group for lunch quickly, even though we did not have a reservation. The falafel was delish and I love the wine flight to accompany it. The band performing that night was loading in during our lunch and we were able to watch the magic happen. Large venue with great wine list and yummy food offerings. Glad we came upon this place during our travels.

Very close to the memory of 11S, typical Irish Tavern that we find all over the world, but it has a uniqueness, the decoration on all the walls are patches of police, firefighters and emergency services that participated in the rescue of the fateful attack, they have also added from all parts of the world, you can see the Spanish National Police, Firefighters of Aragon ...

To eat, we decided on two hamburgers, two different to try, both around 12 dollars and to drink a delicious craft beer from the area for 7 dollars, they are not the best hamburgers we ate in New York, but they are good, the Service is normal, therefore the experience is good.

If you like to pay top price for frozen food and stupid service charge, go ahead. Better alternatives around.

Friendly bar next to the 911 Memorial. Will visit again when we are in the city.

Amazing place full of stories! Must visit if you go to World Trade.
