Reviews For The Blasket

The Brisket" is an absolute must-try in NYC! From the moment I walked in, I was hooked. The dark lighting and spotless environment create a fantastic vibe. But let's talk about the food—it's out of this world! The quality far exceeded my expectations. What's even more impressive is how reasonable the prices are for such an incredible experience. This place is a hidden gem that deserves way more recognition. If you're looking for amazing food, a cool atmosphere, and great value, "The Brisket" is where it's at!

My favorite pub in NYC! Great food, drinks, and service! If you’re dining in, you can’t go wrong with the fish and chips, fish tacos or curry fries - I love them all! The bartenders are super friendly and nice, and will remember you after a few visits (yes, guilty of being a regular)! I love that it has a great neighborhood bar vibe while also welcoming anyone inside! Also the Blasket is known to be one of the best places to grab a Guinness in the city The bar is two levels, downstairs is very social and upstairs is great for date night, a more chill evening, or private events! Last reason why I love this place is the live music - Friday’s and Saturday’s come alive when the music is playing! See y’all here, next time!

Fantastic bar with real character, and a real personal touch. Great atmosphere, super fast food service, great layout and a delightful selection of beers and spirits. Open til late, we found The Blasket to be a top choice during our NY visit

Great little pub with wonderful service and above average food. I got the sausage rolls and sweet potato fries - both great pairing for a pint of plain! Came in and asked if they’d put the MNF game on and they happily did so!

We booked the upstairs room for a private event and could not have been happier. Niall was super easy to work with when planning, and the staff during our event were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, as was the Guinness. Thank you!!!
