    AN ABSOLUTE GEM♡ This place needs to be on your "I need to go here" list. The food is absolutely delicious, I always get the shrimp bisque, the owner and staff are beyond friendly and the place is clean and welcoming. You can come have a drink at the bar, a meal at one of the tables or rent the party room out for a private gathering. They have outdoor seating as well. Best part was they are dog friendly. DEFINITELY worth checking this place out, it will become your new favorite spot, I know it's mine :)

    Great venue. Good food . The staff is very professional and friendly. They have a room for parties . That is very nice . Great little spot . Also a convenient place for after funerals . As it is located near Calvary cemetery. The Bantry Bay has parking too !

    Can not recommend the bantry bay enough! Absolutely amazing everytime. Do yourself a favor and order the sweet & savory rib eye. Delicious!!!! (Update) Been a while (at least a couple of years) since I've been and happy to report back they are still just as good!

    Had lunch with colleagues today. Pretty solid food, the menu has something for everyone. I had the new cold day salad. Everything was fresh, bacon was plentiful and chewy, presentation was awesome and dressed to perfection. The other two had burgers which are always good here.

    Service during day was good, friendly Place is decent and fairly clean but not as new as pictures show it. Food decent but a bit more salt needed I'm most Pretzel buns not good quality, beer not really cold. Bartender served us at table so no real waitress service. Prices are good though if you just get a regular burger, salad , mixed drinks Went back at end of night as they said open til 2am but at midnight we were told one round only and they refused others entrance who we told to meet us their from another venue( elsewhere n tri doors pub ) and shut down games n tvs and turned up lights and had us leave before 1am. I guess they do well enough to not need new customers from Brooklyn or those who travel in occasionally from long Island or for those there to spend more money

    What have I been missing this whole time! This space always looked fairly unassuming from the outside. Had I known what was hiding I would’ve tried a long time ago! Firstly. It’s way bigger than it looks and the layout is cool.. Second, the food is soooo good. I had the jaeger schnitzel and it was divine. My friends had the fish and chips which are a local favorite. I see why: the service was amazing. Friendly, attentive bartenders. We went on a Tuesday so there was live music. Stayed for all of it!

    Great Shepherd's Pie was served in a nice, quiet atmosphere. The lady server is simply delightful. She was quiet to make us feel at home and comfortable. It may be tough to find but it's worth the search, actually, and surprisingly, parking was easy. They have their own lot.

    Went to a birthday party. Nice bar even though its in front of a cemetery. The bar is typical. The venue for party was nice, they had a buffet and the food was really good. Parking and huge TV screen are nice touches. Wouldn't mind going again.

    I had lunch yesterday in the Bantry Bay Restaurant, we were all served by a lovely Irish girl from Donegal cannot remember her name. She was extremely friendly efficient, the food was really good, I had the fish and chips and it was really delicious. I would recommend this restaurant bar to anybody who's looking for great food and nice service.

    Fantastic, We had just come from a funeral at Calvary Cemetery. Saying farewell to our cousin . Who happen to have been born in Ireland 🇮🇪. The 5 of us had all traveled a distance to say our farewells. We figured, we would catch lunch before heading our separate ways. Nothing better than a Irish pub, to toast our cousin with a Pint of Guinness. One of our traveling party happens to be in a wheelchair. Two steps doesn't seem like a lot. However it is in a wheelchair. Bill the owner I believe. Opened up the back door to the banquet hall. To allow my sister in. The gesture was so appreciated. The service and food was great. The Shepherds Pie was the best 3 of my companions have ever had. The two burgers were also cooked to perfection. Did I mention that they were so large. The fries hand cuts made in house. I will be back anytime. I visit family in Queens NY

    Couldn't believe that an Irish pub served pierogi, but as the bartender said, "We have an eclectic menu." Potato pierogi boiled and fried, cooked to perfection, with sauteed onions and sour cream. Excellent to-go service. I'll be back!

    Attended a military luncheon and wow. The food was awesome and well set up logistically. Service at bar came with conversation. Regulars provided a good vibe while we were there. Soldiers loved it. Thank you.
