Terrible

A thoroughly disappointing bar from top to bottom. Pretends to be a sports bar with a projecter sized screen and lures people in early in the evening for poor Irish food and overpriced beers. However, the vibe turns decidedly sketchy around 9pm as the waitresses begin to put "Reserved" signs on tables that have been occupied by happy groups all afternoon. From there, it is all downhill. Bouncers the size of NBA players walk in, young kids start pouring in the doors and any positive vibe flees. Avoid this bar on the weekend at all costs (unless you are under 21 and live in Long Island or New Jersey).

Excellent party

I hosted a birthday party at Galway Hooker recently and it couldn't have been better! The room was perfect (loungey feel, flat screen t.v., leather couch and arm chair along with two tables and four ottomans, candles, etc.). Ana, Donal, and John were incredibly helpful with the planning and execution of the party. Our waitress was terrific. The food was great as was the service. I wouldn't have changed a thing!!! Thanks so much for an excellent party!!! :-)

Not a SPORTS bar

The place is great..but i was very dissappointed. They claim not to be a "Sports Bar" although they have all these TV's. I did alot of research before i picked this place to watch the 2nd Yankee playoff game against the Indians. We got there, got setteled in the game began and Pink Floyd was blasting in our ears rather than the Game :(.We asked the manager to turn the audio and he said they try to have a lounge feel and try not to be a sports bar soo no audio. (on a YANKEE PLAYOFF game!!)
Sooo...we decided to leave and find another bar where the game would be on but the hard part..im on crutches and soo it wasent an easy feat!

Great Place for Drinks

Galway Hooker is a spacious, comfortable bar with a friendly staff and a wide selection of beers. Great place to watch a game or enjoy some pool while you drink. This place is going to keep getting better...

Best Super bowl spot

I happened to watch the superbowl here and have to let you all know that this bar has got to be the best place in NY to watch a game! It has a lot of flat screens and the biggest projector screen I have seen in a bar in manhattan. The staff are friendly(and hot), the beer selection amazing and the food great.
