How to get in
Book the Parlor on Resy as soon as the window opens (reported 14 days out) for the full cocktail experience; the Taproom is walk-in friendly if you avoid 5–8pm Thursday/Friday. Hit the 3–6pm or 11pm–close happy hour for value.
The honest take
Deservedly legendary — arguably the best Irish pub and one of the best cocktail programs in America under one roof. Downsides: perpetually mobbed, the Taproom gets shoulder-to-shoulder and loud, and it sits in a corner of FiDi that's dead quiet otherwise, so it's a destination trip for most people.
