Roof top was great, plenty of room<br>Fast friendly service went for a drink and a bite after Saturday matinee.

The hostess is not very welcoming. The fish tacos and fish n chips were good. The cheeseburger was just ok…heavy thick bun(supposed to be signature), thick, dry patty. I would not order it if given another chance. All in all, a good place to have a drink and average bar food if you have had a few drinks.

Great spot for post-show drinks. We went after seeing Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. I had a cosmo, it was pretty good! I love a good Irish pub, so the atmosphere was great. My husband had wings, he said the sauce flavor was excellent, the wings themselves seemed a little old, but overall very good.

I had a salad here today, and both the taste and the service were amazing! Karina, in particular, was very kind and attentive, and thanks to her, my experience was perfect. I will definitely come back! 🌿💚

We went here before a show at a nearby theater to watch a football game. They have a nice selection of domestic and imported beers. They also have 5 TVs so it's a good place to watch a game. Service was good.

We’ve been loyal patrons of The Perfect Pint in Midtown East for some time, which led us to try their Midtown West location. On this occasion, the three of us arrived just after 6 PM for beers and fries, ordering a total of 15 or 16 beers. When the bill arrived, the waitress presented us with a charge for 21 beers. The receipt was not itemized, and when we requested a detailed breakdown, she falsely claimed we ordered more, including asserting that I had two Delirium Tremens when I only ordered one (evidence of this is in the attached video and photos l). Her response escalated to threats when we pressed for clarification.<br><br>We simply wanted an accurate, itemized account of our order, not fabricated charges.<br><br>The manager, Ernesto, intervened but only compounded the issue. He first falsely stated we had been there since 3 PM, which we corrected, then insisted that a typical person consumes two beers per hour, a baseless assertion that didn’t align with our consumption. He then again refused to provide an itemized receipt, claiming that it is too much work to keep track of what beers everyone drinks(an illegal practice)<br><br>We captured this exchange on video - see the attached footage, along with photos and our bill.<br><br>Ultimately, to avoid further confrontation, we paid the inflated total, which added approximately $20 per person to our bill, but it left us deeply unsettled.<br>This was not a simple mistake - it felt like deliberate overcharging, supported by lies and intimidation.<br><br>We will be uploading additional video evidence showing the waitress’s condescending and potentially racist demeanor, as well as her conversation with the manager, both of whom seemed complicit in this practice. We intend to dispute the charge with our credit card companies and urge others to approach this location with caution.<br><br>The Perfect Pint in Midtown West appears to engage in deceptive and possibly criminal practices, preying on customers who trust they’ll be billed fairly. Save yourself the trouble and steer clear.

We ate on the fourth floor and we enjoyed our experience. They were one of the few restaurants with room, as they had many floors of seating. The food was cheaper than most places and they've got most of the usual drink options.

This was a really cool Irish Bar, situated right in the middle of downtown Manhattan. We sat on the rooftop, which despite not having a great view, was very interesting! The food was great, the drinks were good enough, and the staff was alright. This restaurant took me back in time a little bit, which I mean in the best way possible. If they can get the service part down a little bit better, it'd be a can't miss place! Would recommend.

While on vacation in NYC, we ate dinner at The Perfect Pint in Times Square. This is a really cool Irish Pub with three floors. We went to the third floor, and we were lucky to have Freddy as our server. He was fun and gave us great service. My son and I split the Reuben and the Cheese Steak. They were both so good, and the fries were outstanding. My daughter had the Portobello sandwich, and she said it was very good. The Perfect Pint also has a fantastic selection of beer on tap. If you are in Times Square, this is a good place to eat and have a few beers.

This place is so much fun! 🍻 The Perfect Pint 🍺 is your classic Irish 🇮🇪 pub with a large collection of beers, drinks 🍹, and delicious dishes 🥘. The nachos are a must have! They have multiple levels and a rooftop bar with a fantastic ambience! 🎶 Great spot for groups looking for a chill night 🌃 out in NYC. 🗽 I wish I came here more often!

A pretty standard Irish Pub fare. The food quality is decent and pretty much what is expected of an Irish pub, nothing extraordinary but satisfying enough. Price point is reasonable for NYC tourist trap area. Seating on the 2nd floor is quiet, which is nice. Food came out quick and service was good.

We came to perfect pint twice on our New york trip. The first night we included dinner (which was lovely and very filling) the food was cooked perfectly and filled us up big time! The drinks were priced great for the location (a lot better than some other places) the second time we came we managed to get in for happy hour!! The atmosphere was great, first night we watched a yankees game (we didn’t really understand baseball, one of the servers happily explained the game so we could watch :)) it really was a great couple hours we spend each day in here. Definitely planning on returning here on my next travel to the city!!

This place is walkable distance from times square, it's a great Irish pub serving fantastic beer and food. Servers were fast and easy. Food is great. It's open air terrace plus a separate balcony for smokers. Not very expensive according to the location, a beer pint was 8$. They have screening for sports events too.
