Kitty Kiernans

Just like a traditional Irish pub. Comfortable seating. Friendly service. I wish that I had found this place a long time ago. Drinks were good, and I felt at home here.

Complemintary St Party’s buffet. with strings. Just left said establishment. After purchasing drinks, I enjoyed the corned beef spread. Upon getting a little more, the owner James castigated me for taking anymore m Despite being a long time patron, I was totally humiliated.

This place is pretty divey. We came here to watch a hurling match, which was nice since it was the only place in the area showing it. The soda was flat and the drinks were below average, but it’s what I expected from a dark Irish dive bar in Bay Ridge. Check it out if that’s what you’re in the mood for. Otherwise, there are better bars in the area.

My boyfriend and I like to come here every now and then for a few drinks, and the bartenders are usually nice women. However, this time the bartender was a young white brunette dude, and I ordered a wine which was clearly skunked and tasted bad. My boyfriend tried to return the drink to this bartender however instead of offering good customer service he tried a sip of my wine and stated «it tastes fine to me» and proceeded to refuse a supplement drink. Someone in management needs to teach this guy about how to treat a customer !!! You suck!

My husband and I are new to the neighborhood and were looking for a laid-​back neighborhood bar, we need not look further than Kitty Kiernans. Although we have only been here twice, both times we had so much fun we found ourselves not wanting to leave (sadly we can’t drink like we use to). The bartenders are very friendly and attentive. The locals are also friendly and it was easy to strike up a (smart) conversation with them. (So I’m not sure what everyone is talking about when they call it «cliquey»). Honestly I found it very welcoming, a few people at the end of the bar even came over to welcome us to the neighborhood when they overheard us telling the bartender we just moved a few blocks away. We will definitely be back.

I only come during the Thursday Open Mike’s and its the best! Katrina is always the bartender when I’m there and shes a sweetheart. Great patrons, great atmosphere, great bar, and an amazing Open Mike on Thursdays with the best jam sessions ever!
At the conclusion of the night, I quote one patron saying, «That’s the most fun I’ve had in a long time and I just came from an Alicia Keys concert at MSG!» This place really shows you that Brooklyn is a better night out than the city.

This might be the last bar in NYC where people can (and will) sneak a smoke – even with a young child present. Clientele mainly consists of a small clique who act as though this bar is their personal private club. There seems to be two tiers of service, one for regulars and one for everyone else. Why waste your money and time at this place when there’s no shortage of better pubs in the neighborhood?

This place is decent for a night cap on any random weeknight.
Most famous in my mind for a couple of scenes filmed here from Spike Lee’s 25^th Hour, with Ed Norton. Unbelievable street-​scape that has this place being dwarfed by the Verrazano Narrows bridge. They used to have double swinging doors, like a wild west saloon, that would always leave you feeling like a gun-​slinger when you walk in and out of here. (but alas, they are gone). Good jukebox. Mostly regulars.

This pub is stumbling distance from my home and that is a VERY good thing. I love the atmosphere at Kitty’s. The bartenders Margaret and Patricia definitely know how to make a strong drink. James the owner is always a pleasure to talk to. I highly recommend Kitty Kiernan’s for anyone looking for a nice laid back sort of pub with a friendly local crowd.

This is one of my favorite bars ever. Almost every person in my group of friend’s has had his/​her birthday here. This is also where I fell for my g/​f (everyone go awwwww).
This is a great, old, irish bar. They make the BEST Black & Tan here for only $ 6! Great choice of beer on tap from Guiness to Hoegaarten to Becks. The bartenders are always nice, especially James (owner?) who comes by round 2AM. Buy backs are common here as well!
Lounge seating is all around, a classic jukebox and you can always pick up a dart game here easily although 5 of us always get sucked in to the touch screen games.
Everyone who comes here knows that they’re in for a chill time. This is not a place you come to for the dancing and guys/​gals dressed to impress. This is a place to come to with a group of friends, talk/​laugh the night away, smoke a pack of ciggs coming in and out of the bar, to have good drinks, meet random people and for squinting your eyes when you leave because before you know it… it’s 5:30AM…time to head to Bridgeview Diner down the road!

I was here… I believe… oh yes… I have been reminded by my friend that I was here. Sorry, I usually show up here after a night in the city, so a Unilocal about a place I hang out at from 2am-​4am is tough. I liked it, plenty of room to walk around and great selections of beers. They include Zywiec, Guinness and Becks just to name a few.
Walk outside for a smoke and you have a sick view of the Verrazano Bridge. Located close to other bars in Bay Ridge. They have a lounge here too and live music every Saturday.
