Phebe’s is an amazing Irish pub in the East Village. The atmosphere is very nice, and I loved the food. The staff is friendly, and thats because the manager, Chira, is very nice and welcoming too. I give it a 5-star rating.

I love Phebes especially when youre a fan of the Cincinnati Bengals. They did some upgrade, which I think really opened up the space and have also updated the menu. The food is always delicious and at a very fair price. My only feedback is that the service could really step it up. I was there during a game and we basically had to order our food at the servers station. We sat down for 15 minutes and we had no water, and nobody came by to take any orders. The young server was just hanging out at the station and never really bothered checking up on us. I ordered drinks and foods at the station 3 times. Honestly, I dont even know why I had to tip... and it wasnt even that busy of a game.

My daughter recommended this place for a small birthday dinner. We had a great time. The food and drinks were great. Especially the Lavendar drink. We also had wings, calamari, steak and buffalo chicken sandwich. All very good.The staff is super friendly from the time you come in to the time you leave. We loved our very amazing and patient hostess Renee!!! She had great recommendations on the food, drinks and portions and ended our celebration with Green Tea Shots!!! Thank you Renee!! All in all we had an amazing experience and are sure to come again.

This bar has changed and kept up over the years, They continue to upgrade the interior and keep it casual, the happy hour cocktail was good and you could taste the liquor. The staff were friendly and attentive. The outside space that ran along the bar is a good spot when it’s warm out, many bars sit back and do nothing that’s not the case here, and it pays off.

Only come here if you want horrible service and shitty drinks. Bartender was SO rude for no reason. Sat at the bar, having a great evening, and was met with horrible service by the bartender (taller guy with dark brown hair). Horrible guy. DO NOT COME

My partner and I came here for a casual dinner. The place is larger than it looks from the outside. The front portion that juts out into the sidewalk is very cutely decorated with brick walls and 2 and 4 seat booths. The back, and larger space is more like a bar area. I had the steak salad which was reasonably priced, largely portioned and delicious. The steak was cooked medium rare, as I requested. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. Id definitely come again for the steak salad!

Walked in at 9.30pm on a Sunday and the kitchen was still open. Its open later than most places in this area . Didnt have drinks, just ordered food . The Salmon with 2 sides ( I got mashed potatoes and kale . ) The Salmon was fried I think because it was a bit crispy on the outside but nice and moist on the inside. The mashed potatoes taste homemade. There was a little side container of hot/sweet pepper jelly for the fish. I liked that , it was a nice touch. Id skip the kale next time and get broccoli or something else. Food was tasty and staff is friendly. This place is big and theyve been here a long time. Probably crowded on Friday or Saturday. Good late night East Village choice. Unpretentious. Get the Hot Toddy on a chilly night!

We decided to stop over this place before going to theater. They have good selection of beers and reasonably priced. Go Happy Hour!We ordered chicken quesadillas and a veggie burger. Both of them served in time and tested delicious. IPA was good.Margarita could have been served in an authentic margarita glass with salt.

Youve probably been in here for a work happy, to meet some friends for a drink if they recently graduated from NYU, or if your little cousin wants to watch a game at a sports bar.I can already hear you chirping me with a you actually went to Phebes to eat? Yeah. I did. We did. This Phebes Blackjack Burger is straight gas and at under $20 with a side of waffle fries whose only rival is Chick-Fil-A, its a PLATE. Its a great burger, and Im tired of pretending like its not.I cant even lie though, I forgot to sub the regular fries for waffle fries this time and that hurt my soul. But it is what it is. Sometimes you have to take an L to refocus and get that tenacity back. Not everyone is Floyd Mayweather.It also gets pretty active when the sun goes down here, a fun place to come and watch a game or play the game. 21 year old me met a summer fling here back in the summer of 2017 when I was visiting NYC for a week. Her phone background was some corny inspirational quote and I asked who hurt you and it landed. We had a beautiful couple days together it was fun af I felt like I was in Grease ahahaha... Im happily Big Monogamy (Big Mono) now though, just had to let yall know.IG @jnov_Tiktok @jnov_reviews

We came in as a group of 10 for drinks around 9pm on a Friday night. It wasnt too crowded but by 11pm the music got very loud and the crowd got younger. Upon leaving just before midnight there was a line to get in. Had a great time during our visit and drinks were good, but was glad to have left when we did as we could no longer hear each other.

Review №43

I booked Phebes to meet up with an old friend/colleague who moved to the US over a year and a half ago and since Im visiting I thought Id look up a place that had great American comfort food and the reviews, particularly for the burger, were excellent. I was sorely disappointed. While the young lady who sat us down was friendly and took our order, the food took quite a long time to come and I immediately asked for some mayonnaise from the person who finally brought our food but it never came. I eventually decided to flag down someone, which took some effort because no one seemed to be paying any attention to people at the tables (one couple walked to the entrance with their bill in hand later that evening).When we finally got the attention of one of the male staff (I dont want to call him a server because he didnt seem happy to be flagged down by us and we did discuss afterward if maybe we offended him because he wasnt meant to be serving but later it seemed he was - very confusing) and eventually got our mayo which I was already walking towards the kitchen for.When I finally got a bite of my burger - which I was starving for because I was on jetlag, it was 7pm and I hadnt eaten anything since the night before - it was not as advertised in the reviews. I immediately told my friend it was really not good, and she asked if I wanted to change it but I couldnt bear the thought of waiting even longer and I was so hungry I ate it anyway and dipped it into the blue cheese dressing for the wings just to add flavor. I asked for it to be cooked medium but it appeared to be well done and was not juicy at all and could have used another slice of cheese.I wish I had just gone to Shake Shack instead and had a superior burger and faster service. I said as much to my friend. Anyway I wasnt going to let my bad food spoil our reunion. We ordered the buffalo wings which were standard. My sweet potato fries were the best thing I had dipped in mayo and my friend said her pasta was good so at least one dish was good. I know I should have said something to them but just did not have the energy or time to wait for someone to come to our table/flag them over, so maybe I am also at fault for not speaking up. I am annoyed that I wasted one of my meal times at this place when I have limited time in the US, particularly NYC, so I strongly recommend against this for both the food and service. And it was a Monday evening 7pm so it was not full.

My mother and I stumbled upon this restaurant during our first visit to East Village and we are SO glad we found this place!!! The bartender Johnny is the NICEST, funniest, most personable guy and we had a blast chatting with him! He gave us the best window seat table in the place and by the end of our visit it felt like we had known him for years and we were sad when his shift was over! Funny enough, we were in town for a friends show, and the after-party also happened to be at Phebes--we were not disappointed to return!! We had such a blast here and will definitely be back! Great food, fantastic drinks, excellent service!!!

Phebes have been in the neighborhood for decades, and they are still going strong.The food is adequate for a pub establishment. However, the music tends to be a little on the loud side, but then so are the customers.Everyone is here to relax unwind and socialize, so its all good.Ive eaten here for lunch and dinner, and the food is fresh and the portions are not small.The staff is always excellent, professional, friendly and service with a smile.In the East Village, try Phebes.

It’s a very “okay” place. Absolutely nothing special about it. Just full of a bunch of tourists from college and they only play the simple NYC songs. And maybe a little bad bunny. Drink are mild and the service is mid. Lots of security guards which is nice. The guys bathroom is the size of a closet. And people snort lines on the toilet seat. The bathroom guard saw this and didn’t do anything. He was some Latin maybe Dominican guy. But yeah I would not recommend coming here.

Wonderful spot with great location and service. We went the day before St Patrick’s day and on St Patrick’s day, 2022. The service from Allan and Sam on day one was beyond the best we could have hoped for. Allan took the time to chat with us and shoot the breeze which is always nice to do with folks when visiting from outside the city.On St Patrick’s day, Allan ushered us in, we got sat and treated like regulars. It was such a wholesome night with great people in the bar and a wonderful staff.Moral of the story: be nice to the staff, security, and manager, and they will treat you right. Be wholesome, be relaxed, be people.- James & Bristol

Phebes is a traditional American tavern in the east village. The decor is cozy and reflect perfectly the traditional tavern atmosphere reinterpreted in contemporary style. The counter and the tables are old-fashioned but well-finished. There are several historical photos on the walls but even 4 huge televisions that remind us that we are in the early 21th.The menu shows a large variety of American dishes and drinks. The number and the quality of the cocktails and beers on tap are impressive.Personally I ordered the beef stew with mashed potatoes, the plating was well done and the taste was great.The staff is kind and professional. The waitress that served me was very experienced and gave me really good advice for the beer choice.The quality/price ratio is really good.In conclusion I can say that my lunch at Phebe’s was a satisfying experience and I’m sure that I will come back.

Went here after we couldnt find anything else and after some complications Im happy to say that we had a good experience. The waitress (Stephani was great, thank you) and manager were great, how customer service should be everywhere, were very eager to please the customers. I didnt like the quesadillas and instead of arguing about it like you usually would at a restaurant they automatically offered me food on the house and the chicken tenders were great. Great experience!

My friends and i used to go to wing night on a regular basis. It was 10¢ per wing for a max of 30 wings with a pitcher of beer.I finally moved back into the city. Went back today and it’s now 50¢ per wing for a max of 20 wings with a pitcher. Definitely not worth it. The wings were only ok to start with. Last time we go there.To top it off the waitress was rude. I saw her in the bathroom talking loudly on the phone, complaining about life. Not something she should be doing in a public space in the service industry. Also they didn’t have hand wipes. What restaurant that serves wings, doesn’t have hand wipes?!Bartender was nice.

Nice spacious bar if you want to grab a drink after work. They have great air conditioning there, which I came to appreciate only after the weather outside hit 105 degrees and other bars did not hold up to my expectations.

Review №103

They have a very large, darkly lit, space, which is just quiet enough to have a conversation in, if thats your kind of thing. Wooden tables, and chairs. They have a lot of tables near windows, and television sets facing inwards. (We had a group of ten, and they accommodated us.) They have a wide selection of beers, but nothing fancy when it comes to mixed cocktails or shots, which is what you would expect from a sit-down bar. The service was pretty good, the drinks werent overpriced, and their spicy wings had a little extra kick in it. I drank, had a good time, and wouldnt be embarrassed to bring my friends there.

Review №104

Low key bar with booths. The menu reads like a TGIFridays or some other chain restaurant, but dont be fooled, the food is great. While I wish the fried goat cheese medallions on my beet salad were more crouton and less chicken nugget, the combination of the beets, greens, pear vinaigrette and crispy/smooth cheese made for an amazing bite. The waffle fries taste like curly fries. I dont like fried mozzarella sticks, but their little ball version were so good, even I had to have a couple.

Great place for post-work casual drinks. Lots of table space as well as two rooms and two bars. Straddles the sports bar / neighborhood bar / Bowery chichi drinking station very well. Because its so big its a better location for freelancing or last-minute plans. For the most bang for your buck, go during their happy hour for 1/2 off drinks and beers as well as a $5 plate of hot cheesy nachos!

I came here for a Bumble date on a Friday night. I talked to the female bartender (Emily?) as I waited cause I was kind of nervous and ordered a drink before he got there. He showed up a little late, and was totally drunk... it was kind of comical. I went the bathroom, and when I came back, my date said he needed to go. While I was waiting for him, the bartender came over and said just so you know, he had a shot of tequila while you were in the bathroom... when he came back it was obvious that he had gone from pretty drunk to kind of really drunk. I told him he should go home as he apologized for his drunken state. I closed my tab and left after him, and thanked the bartender for telling me. 5 stars for her!

I like Phebes for their happy hour (discounted drinks, 1/2 appetizers), and their weeknight food specials (.10 wings and 2-for-1 burgers).

I went here for the first time on a Saturday. Just moved to Brooklyn. I saw from the outside that it was looked great so me and a friend walked in and were there for maybe about 15 mins. The bar was packed and it was a wait to get a drink so I head to the bathroom. I get out and see my friend getting arm handled by a bouncer out the door. I follow to see and ask whats going on. One of the guys, I assume from management says to him. That he cant be in here and not order a drink. I explained to him weve been waiting for some time to get a drink and all of a sudden Im getting asked to leave as well for the same reason. And I was also arm handled out the door.... I think back on it I realize that we were the only people get asked to leave. Eventually they ask us to come back in after putting us on the spot and arguing in front of the line. When getting back in to close my tab and get drink. They tried to act nice and give us drinks and make us forgot. The bouncers took us all the way to the back of the bar as if we cant roam freely. I dont know what kind of game they were running but it was strange and sketch.

5 stars for food, I ordered the Cajun Salmon burger and it was delicious. Service was okay, could use some improvement but I guess it works for the only bar in the area (Little Italy / Bowery) that’s open before 5pm.

Good quality food at good prices. Nachos with chicken, chicken tenders, and chili dogs all taste great for their value. Good, fast service. Nice, clean restaurant ambience. Good for a quick bite or long dinner.

If you love New Jersey but dont want to cross the river, this is the place for you. Located in an old tent store, Phebes has everything, good food, great prices, women wearing underwear as outerwear, and guys with sleeveless shirts. At Phebes, youll find a decent draft selection, good fish and chips, and super nice wait staff exhausted from the high demand Jersey style customers. Give it a try and be ready for good food and great laughs.

I thought it was pretty darn good. My sister and I split the Bourbon Chicken Sandwich and the Macaroni & Cheese (cheddar, montery and parmesean cheese with chopped tomato). All was good. Mighty good. Mac couldve been a tad more crunchy on top, but was still good. I had the apple pie (and ice cream - yum) for dessert.It wasnt fancy - but it was quite tasty. I was a little shocked to see the drinks (as in coke?!?) was $3. That seemed a bit steep. And our waitress was a space cadet, but other than that, all good. For a nice basic bite, Id head back here.

I was here on a Saturday night from 11pm to 3am. The DJ with long hair played straight pop music the entire time I was there. Songs like ‘Dancing Queen’. Didn’t hear a single rap song the entire night. I asked the DJ to play Jack Harlow and he said no. I get it, girls like pop music. But as a guy, it’s hard to turn up to that stuff.

This place is great on game nights. Reasonably priced wings at 15 cents each with your choice of sauce, this place gets crowded quickly. The wait can be up to 30 minutes for a table but they try to get your food out quickly. The crowd is a mix of young professionals and college students so it can get loud sometimes.

This place is where it is at during the summer months. It is filled with young people dancing and having a great time. Dont get me wrong, in the winter it is the same thing, just not as crowded. The food is really good and they have some nice deals for happy hour.

I came here with a friend just for wings on a Wednesday for the “10cent wings with the purchase of a $19 pitcher of beer” Special. Sat at the bar so I can be up front and center and not wait for a waitress. Very hungry. Bartender finally took my wings order 15 minutes after I sat down for a beer and I literally waited 50 FULL MINUTES before they finally served me. It was way too long and she knew it because she finally decided to check on my order but it TOTALLY ruined my appetite! I tried to leave and cancel the order and she sent one of her girls back to find an order and finally brought them to me. I ate because I was starving and finally got the check. Thats what happens when your too patient when ordering, she totally forgot my order or sent it to someone else and left me sitting there like an idiot drinking a beer and eating food I didnt even want anymore.

This place’s nighttime security/bouncer practices probably warrant an investigation. Rude at best, bigoted if we keep it real. Not most of their staff, to be fair—just a certain few. It’s clear to anybody who’s ever been and is the least bit observant.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting a local establishment that has been making waves in the culinary scene – a spacious bar that boasts a fantastic environment, delectable cuisine, and a friendly service staff. While the overall experience was certainly enjoyable, a slight drawback emerged with the limited options on their lunch menu.One of the standout features of this establishment is its spacious bar area, providing ample room for patrons to relax and unwind. The expansive layout contributes to a comfortable and inviting atmosphere, allowing for a leisurely and enjoyable dining experience. The decor is tastefully done, creating a visually appealing setting that complements the overall ambiance.The culinary offerings at this venue are commendable, with a diverse menu that caters to various palates. The food, in general, is of high quality, and the flavors are well-executed. From appetizers to main courses, the dishes showcase a commitment to using fresh ingredients and culinary expertise.The friendly service staff adds another layer of warmth to the overall dining experience. Attentive and welcoming, the team ensures that patrons feel well taken care of throughout their visit. Whether its recommendations from the menu or accommodating special requests, the service consistently enhances the overall enjoyment of the meal.However, its worth noting that the lunch menu at this establishment is somewhat limited. While the available options are undoubtedly delicious, those seeking a more extensive selection may find themselves wishing for a bit more variety. Despite this limitation, the dishes offered during lunch are well-prepared and maintain the same level of quality found throughout the rest of the menu.In conclusion, the spacious bar, inviting ambiance, delicious food, and friendly service make this establishment a noteworthy choice for a dining experience. The limited lunch menu may be a minor drawback for those with diverse culinary preferences, but the overall positive attributes of the venue make it a worthwhile destination for those seeking a pleasurable and satisfying outing.

Our server and host were both wonderfully Irish. Amanda was really helpful in our group deciding orders, and they had no issues with us having separate checks or moving tables to accommodate us!I got the Steak, Medium Rare. Ive been searching for the perfect medium rare for a long time, but this steak was one of the closest times Ive come to it. They serve the steak with a small beef gravy dip, which took the otherwise underwhelming flavor of the simply and effectively seasoned meat to the next level. The broccoli paired with the steak & gravy wonderfully. The buffalo cauliflower was good, especially the well charred bites, which contrasted well with the limp sogginess of the rest. If I ever find myself in the bowery again, Ill make my way back to phebes.

Very poor behaviour by the manager. We were a group of brown guys who were drinking in a table by ourselves. But the manager came and made racist comments. The treatment was terrible. If you’re white or black or Hispanic go there. If you’re a minority never go there cos they’ll treat you like absolute garbage.
