Bloom's Tavern

Genuine pub atmosphere, really nice place to find in the heart of Manhattan. People from different backgrounds coming here, being on my own for business I've been lucky enough to always find someone to share a drink and have a nice conversation with (be it customers or staff!) 15+ beers on tap, and a lovely selection I found. Staff is accessible and pleasantly laid back, but still efficient (hey it's NYC, time comes at a premium) Food is pub food, but they don't only offer snacks so you can have proper dinner still. Tip: start with beers, sure, but don't forget to eat something though

This is one of the best Irish pubs I’ve been too given its dine in service and food quality. I do love their happy hour menu. I got a frozen margarita and I was not disappointed. This is the best frozen margarita I’ve ever had, they put a good amount of alcohol in this one that it makes sense to have the frozen option, perfect for summer. I ordered the chicken wings, spicy, it’s good I like it as they had a good crisp cooked well and the sauce is nice and balanced which goes great with the blue cheese. I do love the meat, quality of their hamburgers as they use a good amount of sirloin. This is great if you’re walking in the city with friends and if you like to hangout and go to happy hour, I highly recommend coming here. Bloom’s Tavern, I look forward to seeing you guys again in the future to try out your other food options and I’ll definitely come back for your happy hour when I’m in the city.

Stopped here around 7 on a weekday and it was pretty packed but we were sat right away. The second level was closed for a private party. There weren’t any cocktails on the menu that sounded great but the bartender was happy to make us “something fruity”, which ended up being a very solid martini! The nachos came out quick and were fine. My only comment is that my friend and I had four martinis and 2 shots in a three-hour window and we were super regular, just talking. Not screaming, dancing, slurring, talking to other tables, just talking. We thought it was interesting when the server came by and “Alright ladies” in a chiding tone when we asked for another drink but instead, the bartender came by and let us know he was cutting us off. We, at first, just said Okay and paid but I was curious and asked him why, as we had done nothing but talk, and he said he didn’t know us and that was a lot of alcohol already. I appreciate them trying to be responsible I guess, but it was a bit weird to me to be cut off for what I would consider to be a not excessive amount of drinking and no hint of bad, drunken behavior. Is it strictly one drink per hour¿¿¿¿ just curious.
