- Great hotel BUT.....
Read More On Citysearch by James330 at Citysearch 4/6/2011 - Oasis of an Irish Pub
This place is a hidden gem. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but once you walk in the door, you can't help but feel good. The pub is decorated in a railroad theme, with lots of Irish railroad memorabilia that's actually pretty interesting. It consists of two bars connected by a longer room reminiscent of a railroad dining car. There are lots of nooks and crannies, a fireplace, and just...

Factual rundown of lunch hour experience at Wheeltapper Pub, picked because of its convenient location, just east of Grand Central:
1. It's 1 PM on a sunny weekday; the place is more than 3/4 empty.
2. Friend and I order drinks. Mine's a martini, straight up. No brand specified, so it's a "well" drink. The cocktail arrives at room temperature and, as I find out later, is priced at $10 --else...
Read More On Citysearch eldenfrente 2/5/2009 - nice atmosphere, decent food and drinks, expensive, resentful waitressWent out with a couple of coworkers a few weeks ago and got rowdy, doing namebrand shots (which turned out to be $10 a piece, yikes!). We were sitting outside, which was actually nice even in cold weather due to the heat lamps. The outside waitress was decent, but it was busy so drinks came a little slower than we would've liked (had to do the whole "order two drinks at a time" thing in order t...
Read More On Citysearch jekoontz 12/3/2008 - I confirm what Katie WroteI was part of the group that did our draft there and actually spoke to management prior to our event. I was lied to and the service couldn't be worse. They should fire their staff because they are rude and hostile. We were a work group of business professionals and explained to them 3 times what the event was prior to arriving. There were only 2 other patrons in the bar at the time and they could...

Well it has great ambience with all its vintage train memorabilia and the back patio is very pleasant. The service was also good and staff friendly. However we have all heard of midtown sticker shock and this place takes the cake. For example an order of simple pub food dish like potato skins was $14.00 for 3 potato skins. Thats right 3 potato halv...

We spoke with management 3 seperate times asking if they could accomidate us of which they said absolutely. When we arrived they placed us in a small area, we asked to turn down the music so we could hear and we were told "this is not a library." Later on the US open was on in the 5th...
Read More On Citysearch KWBNYC 9/5/2008 - Worst Irish Pub in ManhattanWent to The Wheeltapper Pub with some colleagues after work. The beer selection was solid but the service and attitude of the wait staff was terrible. The beers and food were overpriced, and the food was average at best. The manager and bartender were rude and unprofessional. After spending over $1000 on food and drink (large group) they were still charging us for glasses of water at the end ...
Read More On Citysearch nybarreview 9/4/2008 - Worst Customer ServiceI went to lunch on a Wednesday with a group of employees. After waiting for our lunch for an hour, we asked someone who worked there (managemnt) how much longer we'd have to wait for lunch since we needed to get back to the office. The flippant answer that we received was that it was our fault for ordering a well done burger and steak sandwhich, that apparently takes 45 mins to cook. Funny, c...
