"Absolutely great place for before and after MSG or if you’re in the Penn area. Lots of TVs for sports, great cocktails, beautiful bar and great staff especially Young the bartender. She literally will go above and beyond for you. Came by with my company for a Happy Hour and will be booking one of the private spaces for our holiday party for sure. Make sure to ask about their new Irish items and their sister bar Tara Rose on 3rd Avenue!"
