Peggy O’Neill’s

Another place on coney island that may be jumping in the summer or during the cyclone games is here.
I ended up here with a gang of co-​workers on a Friday for some unwinding time. Decent bar fare… sliders, mozzarella sticks, fries, and other platters were being had. Fry it and it will be eaten. The happy hour special was good… under $ 7 mostly, can’t beat that. The staff person assigned to our monstrous sized group was nice and kept things coming.
The low rating is for the look of the place. They need a makeover asap. It looks like they just gave up and said we’ll make it look good later. There was one area with stacked tables in a corner and chairs around haphazardly… but why? Yes, it’s a bar but people want to be in a nice looking environment. Or at least I do… no amount of happy hour drinks could make me overlook the décor.

Meh. The food is just OK but a good place to go in the warmer months if you prefer outdoor seating.

#Decent place to run to when the game at MCU ball park sucks. Good prices for drinks and decent bar food. We got the Buffalo Wings and the Fried Calamari. The whole time I was trying to tell my friends that a lot of #Fried Calamari was really made out of pigs anus. I’ve read articles about this. But then we looked it up and #Snopes proved me wrong. Although, I’m not sure why we ordered them when I thought they were.

So. My experience is a bit different from some other customers I know — I dined on Peggy O’Neil’s fare from over the fence on the Coney Island Brewery patio. Super nice and convenient of them to offer food to the brewery customers over the fence as they have their own outdoor patio dining. There is a chalkboard sign you wait at to order and we definitely waited…5−7 minutes for someone to come over to us. The food came out pretty quickly, but was on paper plates that they quickly handed to us without silverware or napkins. I had to wait another 5 minutes at the fence before I could get someone’s attention to hand me said utensils. Foodwise — everything tasted great — however, the nachos had «cheese sauce» on them instead of actual melted cheese, and that was not noted on the menu. We also ordered shrimp cocktail as it said that it came with an avocado and tomato slaw with tortilla chips. The shrimp came out on a bed of lettuce with a cup of cocktail sauce. When I asked about the other ingredients, the server said she didn’t know and would have to check on it. The next time we saw her she quickly placed the bill on the table and quickly left. Thus — the food we received did not match the description on the menu & the service was erratic. Tasted great for bar food — but we were disappointed with the service. We were defintiely treated like the ugly stepchild to the actual Peggy O’Neil customers.

This place needs to be fixed up to the max! CI is finally starting to look good & Peggy’s you’ve got to keep up. Beer will always be good, specially after a game. But this place needs to be cleaned up. Needs some renovation.

Total dive. Bad food bad service. Loud music. Filthy bathrooms. Never again. Don’t waste you $$$

Well where do I start
1 John Imbriale the junkie owner who works for sanitation is always looking for drugs usually coke, he should concentrate on running the place
2 getting a drink that is near impossible bartenders have phones attached to them
3 the liquor selection gets smaller and smaller (Heineken in a bottle, Jameson just to name 2 are you kidding me) not talking fancy drinks just the staples, a major bar with limited booze just doesn’t make sense
4 its just run down the bathroom stinks and my girlfriend was sickened

Pretty fun place to pre-​game before a Cyclones game. When I was there, they had a nice band playing and they had plenty of beer. A lot of it was of the Bud Light/​Coors variety, but hey, it’s a fun place to hang out.
The locals who inhabit the place were plenty friendly to me. The bathrooms were not nearly as awful as I imagined they might be.
You’ll likely have an enjoyable time if you come here.

Went by recently and I don’t know if it’s because there are pretty young waitresses working there for the summer & the kids bartending have lost their minds or if it’s the new faces behind the bar that don’t understand that an empty cup in front of a guest means you should probably give them some kind of attention rather than mixing drinks for each other behind the bar and checking your cell phone with your back perpetually to the customers. Jesus I’m hardly high maintenance but I will only come when John or Barbara are bartending because these kids have a lot to learn like hi you’re at work, not a house party.
Also the waitresses outside should probably check on the customers after they are seated to see if maybe they’d like to order food or drinks?
Come on kids, your one job is to serve drinks and food. Hope you don’t have the nerve to complain about your probably shitty tips.
I’m over it.

Great sports bar/​restaurant. I’ve read some reviews that were bad, but you have to understand that this place gets packed very quickly with half marathons, Cyclone games, Mermaid Parade, rain from beach goers, etc. yeah, service might take a few minutes, but the staff is great, and very friendly. Prices are the best in Coney Island, and the food is great. If you’re looking to catch a movie or Broadway play, you might want to skip it. But, if you have time, and want some great music, atmosphere, and you’re not in that New York Minute mentality, I highly recommend Peggy’s.

The wife brought me here to hear her friend play guitar and sing, Tommy was pretty good. I don’t think the the $ 15 burger was meat, it had a weird texture, I asked if it was meat, they said it was prepackaged and didn’t really know what was in it. They took half off the $ 15, big sports, next to a stadium. I’ve lived in Brooklyn for over 50 years, this is the worst burger I’ve ever had.

Came here for a couple of drinks and to tell you the truth they were pretty watered down. Other than that the atmosphere is awesome and i had a blast

— ‘Stoli-​cranberry please’ — no Stoli, we have SMIRNOFF (said with pride).
Check. that should send an odd Greenpoint photographer packing.
— On the spectrum fellow belting out ‘Like a Virgin’ as part of the Karaōke experience. Check. Should send any bearded or Mustachoed Williamsburg Hutz wanna-​be straight for the door.
— All women are beautiful and over 200 pounds.
Check.That takes care of any lost and confused East Villager/​ParkSloper of either sex
— The same glass is used throughout the night, different choices of beers not withstanding.
Check. Any self-​respecting Beer Aficionado is already half way to Berry Park.
— There’s no way to describe the crowd without coming off as condescending, patronizing and pompous and it’s certainly not my intention here. The crowd (and I’m talking about the off-​season crowd. In the summer it’s surely full of families and baseball fanatics) but the off-​season crowd is a 1980’s New York Subway car. Remember those? — loud, bright, dirty, dangerous, fun with not a hint of cool or hip.
Check. Check. Check. I found my place.

Went to this place last summer and it was okay. Very little to complain about. The bartenders were cool and attentive. Got my order real quick and didn’t wait long. The only downside to this place is maybe the bathroom which they definitely have to clean and fix up but other than that it’s a pretty jive place to hang out late nights with friends

Still waiting for a fork and napkin. Terrible service. I only gave them a star b/​c half a star wasn’t an option.

Terrible, atrocious service. We waited 20 minutes for a server. She never checked on us. Food was average.

Disorganized and pretty much useless. You really have to come here for the challenge of getting a beer within «put your threshold here». My threshold after the BK Half Marathon was 41 minutes… after being passed over by the double deucer no less than six times for (admittedly better looking than me) young women, I finally left. I think he was drinking more than he was serving.
This bar really needs scooping up and dropping somewhere more appropriate, like Disney Land.

A good addition to Coney Island since they opened up. I never really cared for the Peggy’s in Bay Ridge, but this one, with the outdoor seating and live music, feels better all around.
Good move, Peggy.

Peggy O’Neils kind of sucks, but that doesn’t mean I don’t end up here at least once a year. Since its off the boardwalk it is only around $ 5 a beer. I remember a fun night here when there was a cover band (or was it Karaōke?) either way there was a lot of singing to Journey going on here. Last time I was here someone went to town with 70s disco on the jukebow-​what a jerk!
In the summer it’s nice to sit outside, but I don’t see much of a point of going to a bar near the beach, where I can’t even see the beach.

Independence Day 2012 brings my holiday travels to be engrossed in a piece of American culture.
In hopes of edible food, Peggy O’Neill’s presents disappoint MEH for an Irish Pub. Pub grub consists of your typical Chicken Caesar, Potato Skins, burgers, blah… blah. With a friend one BBQ, crispy onions at $ 12.95 and a platter of crab cakes at $ 11.00 with Coke Cola totals a near $ 30.00. Edible but not worth the claim of gourmet quality, but certainly a step above McDonald’s level. There goes my cholesterol level as I ended up wearing greasy BBQ sauce all over my hands and mouth. Burgers have a choice to be serve on Focaccia Bread or regular burger buns, but I like Focaccia Bread reminiscing my visit to Melbourne, Australia where it is a staple. The burger was average, albeit not juicy nor flavorful. Outdoor bands and DJ’s are available, weather pending, as well as outdoor seating. The atmospheric conditions appear in a state of disrepair for a grave structural decline. There is no business card nor takeout menu for distribution to patrons.
Low and behold it was stifling HOT! The air conditioning proven extremely weak and near inoperable. The outdoor thick heat invisible fog is now INSIDE Peggy O’Neill’s, yes it was that oppressive hot. Facilities are the most vile and foulest eye sore with vulgar stench backed by paper towels overflowing the rubbish bins and stalls are extremely wet and slippery. Peggy O’Neill, woman, patrons are curtailed of basic amenities as there are NO toilet paper and no paper towels. Customer service is inattentive as my party of two had to hail the wait staff multiple times for simple requests. No comment on alcoholic drinks as I did not imbibed any by choice. The bar area appears to resonate a rowdy crowd for sports watching or informal hangout spot.
Note: The roof of Peggy O’Neill’s is part of MCU Park (formerly KeySpan Park) home to Brooklyn Cyclones, a minor league baseball team which is visible for the banner and circular neon night lights above the façade signage.
