I would give this place more stars if it would let me. I travel for business and like to try as many places as possible on my trips, however I was hooked from day one and went back multiple times. Not only the staff but the regulars make you feel welcome in the establishment. It was very refreshing for a weary traveler. I have tried almost everything on the menu and have not had one bad thing. The Cornbeef Reuben is amazing with large slices of Cornbeef. I dare you to find a better pint of Guinness in the states. My only suggestion is bring cash. Although they do take cards, just like 90% of the places in the NYC area, a small surcharge is put on card purchases. If you're ever in Yonkers this place is a must
Took 55 minutes to make a "salad" that was just lettuce and didn’t even have croutons. The bacon is basically pork chops.
Big group of us (over 20) called in for breakfast before a match in Gaelic Park. Service, cleanliness and staff hospitality were second to none, before I even mention the food. Breakfast was so good we called back after the match for dinner. Even though it was very busy the staff, accommodated us and the food was excellent, would highly recommend for both food quality and price. Special mention to Danielle who couldn't do enough to make our two visits to the Whlistin Donkey very worth while.
Great spot! Excellent decor and extremely clean. Live band every Saturday night and certain nights to play darts...FUN! Will definitely come again
The bartender (elderly man) very rude and racist. You can feel the hostility as soon as you walk in and they see you not white. The disappointment in their face is very evident when they see you not white.
First time here and was blown away by the first bite of the burger. Very good quality, the staff and management were also great.
Love a good local spot with awesome food, kids menu and drinks!
