Looking for a fun, loud and ridiculous time? Look no further. A combination of locals and tourists make this a great time. Karaoke Fri & Sat downstairs.
John ShrimpMarch 17, 2018The mean fiddler is a midtown Irish pub and times square party bar destination, offering Irish music, karaoke, sports bar, private events in midtown. It is a fabulous times square nightclub.- Wim MathuesMay 24, 2019Don't go there when looking for a romantic date! It looks like a typical American bar, but we had amazing bar food there! Mac&Cheese w/ truffle or the Philly Cheese Steak! Friendly, helpful and fast!
Helen ColeOctober 10, 2017I really liked this place. The staff acted like I was there neighbor! When I ordered the burger a woman named Una said try the loaded nachos...sooo good, esp. with a beer! The burger was great.
Natalie KNovember 2, 2019A nice place to dance and booze! I enjoyed all the remixes and the public there!
Sherina DavisJuly 22, 20213pm-9pm Wednesday thru Friday Bottemless Brunch 90 minutes ($25) plus purchase of entree.
This place plays great music on Fridays. I have so far heard Jimmy Eat World, Modest Mouse, Coldplay, Kings of Leon, Paramore and Smashing Pumpkins. Haven't played song yet I haven't liked.
Bonnie CarpenterOctober 13, 2014Standard bar and prices but the food was delicious. Get the burgers. Big and juicy!!

XaviAugust 2, 2012Reasonable prices, witty Irish quotes on walls and great music. My fave in the area.
Tiffany NesbitDecember 30, 2013Discount bracelets are only good for $1 off each drink but it's a cool karaoke spot- If you want to get wasted and dance on the bar, this is your place!
ReshmaJuly 30, 2011What is this bar? Thought it was your average Irish pub but certainly is not - basement is the where the action is at, lots of very dressed up folks getting down on the dance floor...karaoke too.
Chris AuJune 6, 2014This is not an Irish bar. But it does serve a range of expensive domestic and Irish beers and show sports.
- The Crass Monkey sketch comedy show is the last Tuesday of every month in the downstairs lounge. Really funny stuff.
Brigitte PerezDecember 30, 2016Better be friends with the bartender unless you enjoy watered down drinks. Stick to beer. Tourists upon tourists.
The average NYC bar but pretty convenient if you live at The Biltmore.
KcMarch 31, 2014Tried to get in for a 2nd time, Bouncer says "no sweatpants" < I was wearing jeans>. He says no hats < I said ill take it off> . He then lets In a guy with a hat. I feel like I experienced racism.
Kristen MassaroFebruary 28, 2010After leaving Ireland this pub made me feel like I was back in Galway ... in the 80's thanks in part to the music! Read more
Vicky P.June 12, 2018The food is good, but the music is too freaking loud and gets on my nerves. Avoid if your not into loud music from a live band.
