“ Emasculate vibes and great Guinness. Outdoor seating was also nice in the warmer months. ”

“ Christmas Day. All about the Guiness here !!! And the Irish Coffee. Food ok. I liked corned beef tacos more than the lamb Sammy, but both were above average. Good vibe but it's Xmas. Everybody in a good mood on Xmas Day. ”

“ Swift Hibernian Lounge is an exceptional Irish pub located in the NOHO (north of Houston Street) neighborhood in New York. NOHO sits right between West Village and East Village very close to Lower Manhattan Swift Hibernian is the perfect pub because it's as authentic in what they serve as the friendly environment they create. The owners make a point to say it's a place for the art of conversation for those in search of simple Irish hospitality. A stubborn holdout from the lure of television screens and other electronic distractions. From the moment we walked in, it oozed a friendly and almost family vibe. It reminded me of the Irish pubs I grew up around in Chicago (both Southside and Northside). Without knowing anything about the establishment, the friendly bartenders seemed like serious artists when it comes to pouring pints of Guinness. I am not an expert at the proper pour, but know there is the right or wrong way and right means patience. There were rows of Guinness settling on the bar at all times waiting to be finished for the perfect pour. Honestly, everyone we saw was simply that, perfect. Not sure how that's possible with that level of volume, but they're pros for sure, Slainte!!! Founders Danny McDonald and Mike Jewell set out to offer an exceptional range of beer styles, one of the finest selections of Irish whiskey in the city, and an attention to detail in pulling the perfect pint of Guinness. Well, mission accomplished. It's named after Jonathan Swift, a 17th & 18th century Irish patriot and writer. The bar is furnished with reclaimed church pews and a pulpit from Swift's own parish in Laracor, County Meath (just north of Dublin). His photo resides over the main bar keeping a watchful eye over the jovial proceedings. Btw, Hibernia is the latin name for Ireland or Irish. I did need to look it up. If you are looking for a casual, warm and friendly bar to pony up with a delicious Guinness go to Swift. Salute/Slainte ”

“ This is a casual pub in Noho. They open early and stay open late. A lot of service industry come here. They are always pretty busy no matter what day you come. I haven't eaten here before but I have had their mulled wine in the winter time. The bartenders are nice and helpful and the location can't be beat. Definitely a place to grab a casual drink on a weeknight or during the day on the weekend. ”

“ Came here for group happy hour. First off, why don't all Irish bars look this pretty? Man, oh man, this has to be the Halle Berry of pubs. Also, the whiskey-based drinks are unique and delicious. Like the Bramble Royale. And another colorful one whose name I forget. Forgot to take photos. I was probably too drunk. ”

“ The style of this bar was great-- had a very chill feel. Bartender was great and made good suggestions! Loved the sliders and the fries. Yummm. I would definitely go back to try other food, but we went with a regular so he knew what to order! Tons of places to sit at the bar or tables. ”
