Irish Haven

Sunset Park icon. No food but they don't care if you bring your own. Support the local legends.

The best bar in America. If you're visiting New York, please do yourself a favour and pay it a visit. Really great selection of drinks and fabulous service. Also if you need any local recommendations for places to go/ eat, you'll get it here (along with alternative opinions from the locals).

Irish Haven is not just a dive bar... it was the perfect place for my brother’s surprise party! From the moment I started planning, Matt ( owner) went above and beyond to bring my vision to life... The entire staff was so accommodating, the day of, Emmett and Nadine were so helpful, and genuinely cared about making the night special. The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, the drinks were great, and every single guest had an amazing time. I honestly couldn’t have imagined a better place to celebrate. If you’re looking for a spot that works with you every step of the way and delivers an unforgettable experience, Irish Haven is it!

If you're looking for a pub that isn't overly crowded where you can enjoy drinks with a friend, this is the spot! The only food offering is (frozen) pizza, so you'll want to plan to eat before or after, but that shouldn't deter you. The staff here is very nice, and they've got a good selection of drinks behind the bar and beer on tap. Their prices are decent too, as opposed to those in Manhattan!

Dropped into the Irish haven on Monday 18th march,,, I felt right at home straight away, bar staff are really friendly and they can pull you a decent pint of cream... Got talking to the owner's, lovely lads, chatted to them for awhile, and had a good few pints, it made my day to meet some great people... Here for a full week and I intend to go back for a few pints...so if you're ever in Brooklyn, give this place a look in. James, Ballyfermot, Dublin 👍

Live music, friendly crowd, historic establishment

A true Brooklyn Staple. I have been going here for years ! Everyone knows this bar since it was in the movie "The Departed" The ambience, food music, and crowd all great. Mike the bartender a little arrogant but nice
