Desmond’s Tavern has been operating as a traditional New York Irish bar since 1936; it is the fourth oldest continuous operating bar in Manhattan. Its customers have been mainly New Yorkers working and living on Manhattan’s east side. Such notables as Paul McCartney, Linda McCartney, Shane McGowan, Kevin Costner and Forrest Tucker have been seen at the bar. Veronica Lake was a waitress here in the 40’s.

We serve nine different brands of beer and stout on draught and over a dozen different brands of beer in bottles, depending on time of year.

Desmond’s is open 7 days a week, with live music every Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
