If youre from the UK and you see the name Onieals, you expect the worst. But this is better than any Irish bar Ive been to. Decent cocktails, cute outdoor seating and a solid food menu. Pretty good for lunch or an afternoon snack.

A great spot in the area around Little Italy and Chinatown. I really enjoyed the space and feel. They also have a great happy hour from 3-7 M-W. Well made cocktails and the service was very friendly and efficient. Would return if in the area again

Stopped in to get out of the cold and to grab a drink. Absolutely amazing burgers here. Just wow. And the kitchen was able to do black n blue and nailed it. Burger nerds rejoice.

Came here for the happy which ends at 7pm, and ended up grabbing dinner as well.The service was okay. Our server didn’t know the happy hour cocktails, told us it was refreshing and ended up being the sweetest pomegranate cocktail. That’s fine, but then she was never around when we wanted service and forgot half our order. We had to ask for the side dish which came after everyone was done their meals.

This review is purely on drinks! 5 out of 5. Often I ask about the sweetness level on drinks and I’m told a crap of lies. Here they are totally honest & when I asked for 1/2 the sweetness they delivered! The cocktails are solid! I did not try any food.

After not enjoying anything we were having all weekend we decided to walk into onieal’s and genuinely had the best meal i’ve ever eaten in nyc! the french onion soup is a must and when I asked for the chicken on my pasta to be blackened I was expecting an up charge and there was no up charge and refill for soda were free! I will definitely be back anytime I am in the area!

Charming establishment in the Little Italy portion of downtown Manhattan. Low light and romantic air are set by dark walls and table lamps that welcome intimate conversation and togetherness. My girlfriend and I stopped in for a glass of wine while attending the San Genero feast and we were pleasantly surprised. Our little section near the bar area was comfortable and inviting.

Fantastic American fare restaurant in the Bowery where Little Italy meets Chinatown. Cozy and intimate inside with a small seating dining room and some less formal bar seating. Staff is informative, inquisitive, and knowledgeable. Would not suggest taking children. No accommodations available for them. This is a date night type restaurant. Even though the bill will run $35 - $50 per person for dinner and drinks the food is 5 star, the atmosphere excellent and cozy, and well worth the time spent to go.

Great food and welcoming staff. We came in on a Saturday night and got a table for two right away. I had Sea Bass and my wife had a Strawberry Salad. My fish was done perfectly and the entire dish presented nicely. My wifes also really enjoyed her salad. They have restrooms in the basement. The space is beautiful inside. They have a very nice bar and the ceiling is made of carved wood. You can just go here to the bar area for only drinks or you can get food too.

Onieals is a popular restaurant and bar at a quiet corner of a busy Grand street on the edge of SOHO and SOHO. It receives many tourists. Their staff are attentive and provide good services. They also have good food and drink menus.

Review №21

10 years and this place is still a favorite of mine. Classy but not douchy, warm and cozy, good seating for groups and good food/drinks! I love their amazing wooden ceiling and atmosphere. Plus its got a little prohibition history with it. A mix of after work folks, and people i havent thought to categorize, its never obnoxious and most importantly its comfortable - I hate cramming into a drafty bar just because its trendy. Not Onieals, this place has it all.

Their new bar manager Charlie is such a great bartender and single handedly makes my experience every time I go there. He’s fun and funny and most importantly a great bartender. When I don’t know what to drink, he’ll help me think through what I want. He’s even gone as far as to make me a special cocktail. I’ll go back just for him.

I have been going to Onieals for over a decade and shocked to see how it is currently being managed. Still great food and drinks, but there is an unprofessional immature young boy behind the bar who I think is the manager. He was more concerned about flirting with girls at the bar than doing his job on my last visit.After calling to confirm their happy hr time, a friend and I went in for drinks and a bite. We ordered happy hr wines but were not told that the one we ordered was sold out. The bartender poured us another type, but we only learned this after questioning the bill charge being more than what was advertised. This would not have been a big deal if communicated, but instead of explaining himself, the manager stood behind the bar shaking his head while loudly complaining about us for almost 10 minutes to his staff and the young girls he was flirting with.The staff who was reporting to him was very nice and apologetic. I feel bad for the newish bartender and servers on the floor who have to work under this unprofessional embarassment Onieals has representing their establishment as a manager. Beyond disappointed and will not go back or recommend again.

Great atmosphere, nice bar, nice waitresses, nice decoration, but... I found hair on my plate, the truffle fries had parmesean cheese from a bag sprinkled on them, the NY strip was frozen then cooked, mashed potatoes had that hard outer layer when its sitting out for too long. I will not go back.

Onieal’s is a Little Italy staple. The vibes are super cozy and old school. It’s a spacious bar offering seating for large parties. The food menu is mainly American serving a variety of burgers, salads, soups, fried foods, and drinks. The bartenders are really cute and outgoing. Always have a wonderful time here at any point in the day. Great place to watch sports too. I’d also suggest this as a date spot.

Awful drinks. Pouring a Guinness with the glass sitting under the tap. I mean it was dish water…. It was the worst pint I had in years.People with me had cocktails called Dante’s inferno. It was like Pierce Brosnan’s acting in Dante’s peak. Skip the $19 hot sauce shock-tails! 🤢

This place really surprised me. Went on a Saturday night and it was packed, but not uncomfortable. The bartenders were very attentive and engaging. Music was quite fun; nice variety of new stuff and older favorites. We ate a couple of appetizers that were better than expected. Overall a fun experience. Will have to go back at a time when its not late on a weekend night to see how it is...

Love the locations right in little Italy and close to so many other fun things! Our server was SO sweet and super accommodating. I told her it was my fiancés birthday and she went above and beyond to help us celebrate. I wish I had gotten her name! Ambiance feels classy but super relaxed too. You could come here dressed to the nines or in jeans and a tee and fit right in either way. I wish we could have spent more time here but we will be back!

The first time I came here was with my fiance and friends for a few drinks, and I loved the ambiance so much that I brought my mother here the second time we came to NYC. Mum and I had the most amazing meals and cocktails. And our waitress was divine (Heres your cocktail, made with love). I love the wood panelling as well. I just love it all. Also, the fact that an episode of Sex and the City appealed to me on a more shallow level!

Review №47

I love this place. Its one of the things I will most most as I will no longer be working in the area but this was a staple stop for me at lunch or for after work drinks. There were times when me and my coworkers would spend every day here. Drinks are a little pricey but the food is fairly priced and delicious. The burger, tater tots and fish tacos were my faves! I will definitely be going out of my way to visit.

Review №49

First off, the food is quality. Not excellent, but quality, if a bit pricey, though comparable to other places in that part of town.The music is loud and dance-cluby, which didnt fit the mood at all as the place was relatively empty. If it was packed with young folk, if would make sense, but it felt oppressive to have loud music blaring.The staff was great. Very attentive and kind. Overall, I likely will not return, not because theres anything wrong with the establishment, but because theres nothing that stands out.

I had been wanting to try this place for awhile since I walk past it on my way to the gym. I went in on a Friday night and reserved a table. I take myself on a date as often as I can to decompress from my busy schedule. I was seated. It took 5 minutes to get my drink order which is great but after that, no one ever came back to my table in an entire hour. I was ready to eat up the menu but it seemed like they were more fixated on the tables with larger parties and I was overlooked. I actually had to walk up to ask for my check. Really disappointing. I’m happy they were busy given covid. However, I won’t be returning.

Weird disinclination to serving vegetables. We were asked several times by a whole army of servers if we needed anything. How about something without meat and cheese?Oh well. I had a good time because I keep good company. If Id been sitting with some of the vacationing finance guys dining nearby, Id probably have caused a very ugly scene.My partner learned a trick about curing hiccups, but Im dubious.

Review №52

The server, Caroline L., provided poor service. When Caroline came to the seating area, she ignored me and my partner, and instead socialized with others. We stood waiting to be seated for 10 minutes before seating ourselves.Even though the bar was nearly empty, Caroline L. continued to ignore us. She did not provide us with menus, and we watched as she attended to other customers properly, while we were left unattended.Additionally, Caroline failed to provide us with any utensils. Overall, the treatment we received from Caroline was unacceptable, especially in contrast to the service provided to other customers.

Went to meet a friend for dinner and drinks~11am on a Saturday. I seated myself and waited and waited for a waiter- eventually had to interrupt the 2 wait staff and the bouncer who were chatting to ask for a menu. After getting the menu- still no-one came over to meet me/ask about drinks.Ended up giving up on the table, ordering at the bartender (who was very friendly and great), getting my drink then sitting back down in the dining room and waiting for my food. I cant speak to the service/food during the regular menu- but the late night food menu wasnt anything super impressive, and the dining room service was awful.

I stopped in for a quick bite and glass of wine on a Sunday afternoon. The bartender was very nice and suggested the fish tacos to me which were AMAZING. I didnt even see them on the menu at first because they were all the way at the bottom. So glad I asked😊 I would go back again the next time Im wondering around the area for those tacos...

We came here to end our night with a night cap and dessert. The restaurant had a beautiful intimate feel and was glowing from San Gennaro festival lights.Winter Beer ordered a club and vodka and I went the sweeter route with a dessert (unfortunately, they only had two options for dessert). When the drink arrived, it was completely wrong. They gave WB a gin and tonic.My blueberry crumble took forever to arrive and honestly, it wasnt even worth the wait. The crumble was disappointing and definitely need more crumble on top. The ice cream was filled with ice chips that you could barely taste the vanilla flavor of the ice cream.The service was non-existent. No one really check in on us after we were seated and the food service was very slow. One of the waiters had friends who came by and he spent of his time and energy taking care of them. I may come back again because I liked the relaxed vibe but, I wont go out of my way to visit again.

A Hidden Gem - almost don’t want to review it so people don’t find out about it. It is the best go to spot for happy hour, late night or just a stop in for drinks, food and great music. The best part is the service. Airen is the BEST and always treats us like we are the only table there.

This place has the bar area where you can sit and other can stand or dance. There is also a section to sit down with tables and eat. While hopping around we stopped by because we had the munchies. Extremely surprised when we ordered and that the food tasted absolutely wonderful. I can not comment on the drinks because we were already buzzed and decided not to get wasted.

For a friendly, relaxed atmosphere in this neighborhood there are few better places. The building itself is beautiful inside with high ceilings and a long wood bar. The seating is open and spacious with one area designed more as a lounge and the other half for dining. Beers on tap were decent and the mixed drinks looked good too.

Food is good. Drinks are good. Service is good. More people come when it is winter time than summer time.Dennis, John, and Alea are great. Sunday to Wednesday, there are less people. Thursday to Sunday are packed. If you like less people, go on the slower days. If you like the crowd, Thursday to Sunday is the move. Kitchen closes at 1am everyday and 12am on Sunday.

Review №68

First the good - nice looking place with nice vibe. Overall service was kindly slow but acceptable. Second the bad, I orderd a tortelli soup which basically had nothing but clear broth and unflavored tortellis. The thing was tasteless and at $16 was painful. I had asked about drinks for Happy Hour and was told well brand drinks were $8. I ordered a Titos and Cranberry and they served it in a highball glass. The thing was literally 95% cranberry juice and to add insult to injury was charged $15 because it was Titos. I mean, if I am asking you about Happy Hour drinks, why not mention Titos isnt included. Lastly, my wife ordered the Fish Tacos, they were very greasy with a funny smell. Needless to say later that night, my wife had food poisining and it was coming out from both sides. What a bad experence we had.

Review №72

As a local, I had supported this overpriced restaurant over the past but my most recent experience was a shock. They had changed their prices with no mention of this on their menu, and when I pointed out to the bartender that when there’s an $18 price tag for a minimal glass of Cabernet, the courteous thing to do is to mention this high price tag to the customer, he began yelling at me for questioning his bartending etiquette and accused me of leaving without paying, in which case he shouted across the bar he was going to call the police.I’ve been a customer of Onieal’s a lot longer than this particular bartender has been working there but I will never go there again. The place is a rip-off, as several other reviews here will attest.

Nice aesthetic and feel to the place. Stopped in while visiting one night for some late night food because we were starving. Took a bit to get taken care of. Server was way more interested in the big table with designer handbags, but whatever, he was still friendly. Drinks were good. I was confused on seeing a taco pizza on the menu, but we tried it anyway because we were hungry and it was actually good. So was the burger and spicy fries my friend had. We stopped in again the next day to sit for a hit and have a couple happy hour drinks. Bartender was friendly (Jonathon, I think).

Chris ONieal and his staff gave us the best of service and made us feel right at home in this cozy little bar. Shane, the bartender played the role of DJ throughout the night, playing our favorite tunes while giving us tips on where to eat and drink during our stay in New York. The cocktails were also crafted with precision, and the pours were generous. I really feel like Ive found my new local away from home!

I will never come back here again. Note they close at 2am. My friends & I came here for 2 rounds of drinks. It was 1:30am when we decided to order our last round of shots & the manager decided to come in and flip out that people we were still there & kicked me & my friends out. It was half an hour before closing time. He was very drunk & was yelling so loud, people outside were looking in through the windows. It was very embarrassing & it was very unprofessional. I hope no one comes here & experience what my friends & I did.

If youre visiting this area, dont overlook this incredible cozy restaurant. We ate here three times during our recent visit and we highly recommend. Reasonable priced for the area and atmosphere. Great service, drinks, and food. Weekday happy hours on food and drinks. Also, has some interesting history be sure to Google it if you go.

Bought a Jameson on the rocks tonight, $16 for a quarter of a glass of a watered-down drink. Its my drink I drink all the time and I tell you this place overcharged for a drink that is not a true Jameson drink.

Review №129

Update: Appreciate that the charge was reversed and they updated their system. Updating score.Bill includes a surprise credit card surcharge that’s not posted anywhere (I asked) which is likely now against state law. Manager asked for proof but refused to remove it even after showing law (NY Disclosure law of 2024)First time I’ve seen a bar in nyc charge a credit card fee, it’s just shady.No problem with drinks, service, or auto gratuity. Had a good time otherwise.

Great little neighborhood bar. We chose it because of the cosmopolitans and the brunches shown on the TV show by the sex in the city girls. My family and I were visiting from Dallas for Christmas and this little bar was on my bucket list. It did not disappoint. Charlie was our waiter and the absolute BEST!!!! Ask for him if you go!

Review №137

This is the worst bar I’ve ever been to in my life. The staff were extremely rude and disrespectful. My friend is a recovering alcoholic and had a glass of water because she no longer drinks, and the rude staff told her if she just wanted water she could get it at home. Over half the group ordered a drink and they were extremely overpriced and then after only 15 minutes of getting there they told us to leave because we didn’t order enough. This was supposed to be a great time after a birthday dinner, and instead this staff tried to ruin our night. I would give it zero stars if I could. I have videos to prove everything as well.

What started out as a stop to quench my thirst for a Cosmo (while visiting Sex And The City filming locations), quickly became a dinner for my husband and I. We were not disappointed, the steak sandwiches are DELICIOUS and I now dream about them. The Cosmo was up to Carrie standards, and as per my husband, the beer list was good. We highly recommend Onieals to the passer-by or the SITC fan! Either way you will absolutely enjoy your time in the pleasant atmosphere!

Racist and they kicked me out for drinking water even though I was completely sober because “if I wasn’t drunk I wouldn’t be drinking water”. Not even a fun bar to begin with so honestly don’t know why anyone fun would want to come here

My friend Jae Gottlieb( a rising star & live streamer on TikTok ) was dining with her brother Zack ( BibleGirl) and they had the best experience ever . Their server Paige was so sweet and she knew the entire menu inside and out! Franco came by several times. The drinks were delicious! Chris took care of everything! Literally! They were so impressed as were all of us watching! Way to train your staff so that people keep coming back !

Had the Bourbon Beehive and definitely wasn’t strong enough- go somewhere else to get your money’s worth. Liked the cozy lighting but the music playing didn’t really match the vibes of the decor… Christmas music and then 2010s pop music?

We got lucky! We found Onieals through a Google search for American cuisine after the Chinese Lunar parade. This place was so much better than we expected. The interior is so nice and I love the bench seats. Our food and drink were delicious and the tator tots are a must try. The music was amazing 90s/2000s. The best part was the service. Our server made us feel like he was happy we were there, kid and all. And this seemed the place to be because it filled up fast with an impressive looking crowd. Ill definitely be back.
