Nine Fine Irishmen

Had the Irish cheesesteak and it blew my mind. Delicious food and good environment. If you are at the New York New York then you need to stop bye.

Like most airline pilots… I go a LOT of places. There is no bar or restaurant that I go to more than here. Anywhere, any time zone OR country. Nine Fine Irishman has my business. The staff here are not only nice but you want to hang out with them. Very cool people. GREAT food and a fantastic location. The Irish Breakfast is the best meal anywhere. The Mahi Mahi off the dinner menu is superb. Lots of choices in Vegas… I choose this one every time.

Came here on a relatively quiet evening. Ordered two pints of Guinness. They were a couple of the worst pints I’ve ever tasted. The bartender just kept pouring and scraping the foam off the top until the cup was full. Wtf? Tasted like crap. Flat and flavorless.

My fellow Zapponian co-​workers and I decided to enjoy some drinks and hangout time. We decided to come to this bar and do that!
It was a nice, nonchalant, casual atmosphere and we enjoyed the «Irish pub» like setting.
This is definitely a place if you’re just wanting to have drinks and conversation with who ever you’re with, I would say come and try this place out if you’re in the vicinity.
The bar staff were friendly and courteous. They never tried to persuade my friends and I to try any specials or what not, but truly just let us be and enjoy our time together.
This can be a breathe of fresh air when you’re engaged in private conversation.
A huge thanks to the amazing staff for being so wonderful!

Well, It’s Restaurant Week once again in Las Vegas, and not to be left behind (so many fine offerings, but so little time), Diane, I, and a friend began with lunch here on Day 1. It was a very good start to RW, but not without a few down notes. Just my luck, this was the first day of MGM-Mirage’s paid valet parking, which cost me $ 13 plus a $ 2 tip to help pay for the parking lot that the casino giant should have built before opening its new 20,000 seat T-​Mobile Arena. It is the valets who will suffer. I used to always give a $ 5 tip but they will be lucky to receive anything now. I noticed that none of the few drivers before me extended any tip at all when they claimed their vehicle, and I was profusely thanked for my token recognition of good service. At least the pathway to the top of valet parking was wide open!
The other downer for me was that because I had just devoured a giant fillet of Pecan-​Crusted Walleye Pike at Big Dog’s less that 15 hours earlier, this time I was not in the mood for any more fish. So instead I ordered the Irish Banger & mashed potatoes. When I did so, in my mind two gravy-​laced sausages appeared. But on my plate there was only a single specimen. I rechecked the menu, and – sure enough – «Banger» was reflected in the singular. My mistake!
Diane’s bowl of Tomato Gin Soup – which I got to eat – was a nice, creamy soup; and my Mixed Green Salad with Cherry Tomatoes, Red Onions, and Balsamic Vinaigrette a colorful and interesting first course.
The sausage was good, and the Mustard Mashed Potatoes and Mushroom Jus great, but one little sausage to me is not enough bang for my stomach. Bread & Butter Pudding was sweet and filling, with lip-​smacking sauce that almost made up for my dainty entrée – but not quite. Meanwhile, my two female companions very much enjoyed their two rounded golden hunks of battered Fish and Chips. Good complimentary Soda Bread & Irish Butter helped to fill me up.
Couch seating was comfortable, and service very good, with refills of ice as well as Iced Tea regularly supplied without request.
A solid 4-​star meal on the Strip at a very low price (just $ 20), for a good cause!

Really great experience. Sever, Tim, was awesome– perfect amount of attentiveness without hovering.
I had the Nine Fine salad with chicken– it was actually very filling and the grilled chicken breast was just so delish, not sure why– it was nothing fancy, but it just hit the spot.
Husband had the mahi and while it was slightly overcooked, the horseradish crust and side dishes made up for it.
Great drinks and ambiance as well. We sat in a corner with a view of the band and the Irish dancer.
Definitely would come back!

I’ve wanted to try Nine Fine Irishmen for quite awhile and I got the chance to go with two friends before they returned to England. We had neglected a reservation and that was a mistake. We had about a 20 minute wait. However, it seems that there were several tables available all the time – just no staff to cover them.
After being seated on the second floor, we got drinks and I ordered an iced tea, Colcannon soup, and fish and chips. The tea was brought and we placed our orders.
Within a brief time, I got my Colcannon soup – a potato soup with onions, leeks, and savoy cabbage. The texture was very nice and the soup was excellent. The only reason to return here would be for a bowl of this wonderful goodness.
The entrée did not continue a good impression of the restaurant. The wait time was longer than necessary, and the fish was not what I like when I get fish and chips. The batter was soggy – not crisp at all – I’m guessing from sitting under a heat lamp too long. The fish was over cooked. Our server seemed to have a fair number of tables and just didn’t get the tables taken care of in a timely manner. The chips were OK.
This visit to Nine Fine Irishmen taught me that it’s not necessary to go back. Well, maybe to have some more of the soup. Other than that, I’d avoid it for one of the neighborhood Irish pubs that serve much better executed dishes.

Happy Hour is awesome, but BUSY. Best to go after lunch and before HH.
At 1:45, many open tables and prompt service.
Soccer on TV. B Guinness on nitro.
Damn near heaven. The trick is to skirt around the slot machines and weave yourself to the door of this elegantly appointed bar.
In NY, N Y. Don’t miss the Shepherd’s pie and fish and chips, the most fave dishes in the joint.

They have a good happy hour compared to other casino bars and lounges. This is cool because there is a window for «to go» drinks and also an actual pub area if you want to go in and sit. I believe there is live music on certain nights as well! Definitely worth stopping by NYNY casino to try this.

Pretty pricey for 2 pieces of fish n chips for $ 24 but I guess since we’re in Vegas, they were ok. The shepherd’s pie is also ok for $ 19 in its cute little pot. Our waitess was friendly so Im giving it 3 stars

What better way to sip on a cold one thank sitting on the strip people watching. So glad the sun was shining and there was a free table to soak it all up. I couldn’t believe how nice the weather was in March but was sure happy like Pharrell that it was.
Can’t wait to go back and sip on some brews and watch those peoples!

Review 2016 #23 out of 100

Note to self: next time you’re in Las Vegas go out of your way to return.
Food: consistently excellent. Tried the steamers (twice), baked brie, fried sausage; the crab cake, and the crème brûlée. Also good — the Blacksmith and the house pinot grigio.
Service: consistently excellent — Rossana, Corey, and John were terrific.
Ambiance: very nice, welcoming. Live music in the evenings and if you show your receipt at the door you don’t have to pay the cover.

I really enjoyed this place when we went a couple weeks ago. The awesome band was well worth the $ 10 cover, the bartender was cool, and the atmosphere was really fun and casual. This spot is far better for fun than the crowded, expensive clubs that populate the strip. I will be going back.

We came here on St Patrick’s Day in hopes of finding music, festivities and food. They had a $ 10 cover charge to get in but you got a wrist band which allowed you to come and go as you please until 2am, so that was a good deal. Food and drink was extra of course but there was music inside and outside.
As for the food, it is definitely bar food and over priced. They wanted $ 19 for a plate of Corned Beef, so instead we ordered the Nachos with Corned Beef on them… The corned beef was dry and not very tasty at all. The cheese sauce they used was ok but we have had a lot better.
The drink prices were very expensive for what you got however, this place is located on the strip at NY NY, so what can you expect being on the Strip…
$ 9 for a shot of rum not even the best they had was sad, but again it’s the Las Vegas Strip.
It was just ok, nothing special for bar food. It was a great ambiance for St. Patrick’s Day but not a place I would go to normally just to hang out. If the prices were better then maybe but with so many other options in this city, its like no.
I am sure its a fun place to come to listen to music as they always have music and not every place has good Irish music, but other then that, its really not a place I would hang.

Quick seating on the patio.
Our server was super fast and she had a ton of tables outside.
I know I’m trying to order a draft IPA at an Irish bar which is blasphemy in itself. Bummed they didn’t have any. Went for good olé’ Smithwick’s instead.
Husband had Guinness. Now, he’s been to the Guinness factory in Dublin where they actually teach you how to «properly» pour a Guinness and according to him Nine Fine knows how its supposed to be done!
Started with the fried pickles (I can’t resist those little bastards anytime they are on the menu) which were very good & served with a dill based dipping sauce.
Also had the deep fried sausages. Deep fried sausages? That’s almost like telling me there was deep fried bacon on the menu. They were also very good and were served with a spicy mustard sauce. YUM
We split the Chicken Pot Pie — because its HUGE and we had been eating all day for the past two days. BUT, it is big enough to split even if we hadn’t been eating ourselves into oblivion. Warm flaky yet chewy crust that you can peel off each layer if you wanted. The sauce the chicken and veggies were swimming in was not your typical pot pie gravy. It was kind of pinkish orange and I wish I could duplicate it!

Sat at the bar. We really liked the bartender Paul. Extremely professional, nice, and has the perfect authentic Irish accent.
We only ate the Nine salad and fried pickles. didn’t have the chance to get dinner. The salad would have been better without pickles.
We’ll be back. Keep up the great customer service.

We received a MyVegas comp for NFI, located in the NYNY Hotel and Casino.
We were seated on the second floor overlooking the bar area. We ordered a pint of Black and Tan (Guinness and Harp) and Harp, Chicken Pot Pie and Fish and Chips.
The Chicken Pot Pie arrived in it’s own little pot with the large pastry hanging over the edges. There were tender cubes of chicken, potatoes, carrots, and onions in a delicate, creamy sauce. It could have used a little salt. The Fish & Chips were very hearty large pieces of cod that was delicate to the fork yet held on to the crispy batter. The tartar sauce was unique in that it didn’t resemble the Midwest white tartar sauce with bits of relish. This was a more creamy tartar sauce that was yellow in color, with a hint of lemon. Even though the fish was cooked perfectly, there was no seasoning and not even bathing it in tartar sauce could bring it to life.
The portions are enormous so if quantity over quality is your thing, you will be a happy diner.

Not particularly a Casino for «destination» dining, America a serviceable 24-​hour spot with good doughnuts and Gallagher’s certainly not without its fans, it was with two local writers that lunch was enjoyed at New York-​New York’s touristy Nine Fine Irishmen on Saturday, the results mostly in line with what might be expected from a Las Vegas Boulevard «theme» eatery, though several signatures actually proved quite well made.
Located just off the gaming floor with a patio available to those simply looking for a place to smoke and grab a pint, Nine Fine Irishmen is presented as a True Irish Pub and featuring lavish decorations including everything from Lady Justice to gnarly looking taxidermy the two-​story space additionally offers no lack of seating options, a hefty wood table found in one alcove while our table sported a throne.
Open from 11a-​11p seven days a week, Irish Folk played overhead by day with Live music on stage by nine, the menu at Nine Fine Irishmen entails a highly varied experience clearly intended to suit the interests of any sort of guest, even Vegetarians and the Gluten sensitive likely to find something worthwhile amongst the extensive bill of fare.
Dining at the odd hour of 3pm, dinner options available to our group despite the technical start-​time of five, it was on the heels appetizers that I arrived to meet the rest and although well sated from a prior dining engagement I could not help but sample the now-​somewhat-​congealed Beer Cheese signature, the depth of flavor actually quite impressive despite the tasteless white bread.
Treated to pleasant service that thankfully dresses the role without putting on a fake accent like other «Pubs» in town, it was a touch perplexing that neither tablemate had opted to order any of Nine Fine Irishmen’s green-​box-​highlighted menu classics and although the health-​conscious Mahi-​Mahi was well cooked with great flavor complimented by horseradish alongside fresh vegetables the hefty plate of lamb chops was severely compromised by a pungent crust that buried the lightly cooked meat’s intrinsic gaminess, the dark brown sauce adding a unique bit of flavor, but at the same time seeing natural flavors further lost.
Debating Shepherd’s Pie and Bangers before finally opting for Fish and Chips it was alongside the surprisingly crisp and well-​executed «Irish Nachos» that two planks atop a pile of fries arrived, the tartar sauce cast aside in favor of malt vinegar plus ketchup with both parts of the plate quite good even when compared to some of the stuff in London, the Cod itself moist and meaty while the golden shell was virtually oilless and faintly accented by beer.
More impressed by the Macaroni and Cheese here than by others gussying it up with all sorts of junk it was onward to sweets that the meal progressed, and with only two items sampled thanks to the limited sweet-​tooths of my companions the results were split right down the middle — my steamy Bread and Butter pudding turned from cup tableside with a pillowy texture not dissimilar to Monkey Bread with two excellent sauces while the «Bomb» selected by others lived up to its billing by failing completely, the center most certainly not ‘soft’ and the dried out exterior only saved by slowly melting ice cream.
*** No worse than other upscale Irish Pubs speckled around the country, Nine Fine Irishmen is precisely what one might expect walking through the door and although a bit more expensive than some might consider acceptable the price is mostly right for its execution of the classics… not to mention the service, location and décor.

Tucked in a corner of the casino at New York New York, the bar is designed to look like a pub you would find out on the streets. Except, you know – inside of a casino in Vegas.
I can’t say anything for the food here, but alcohol is bought at Vegas pricing, so expect to pay a little more for that pint of Guinness you’re about to down then you would normally expect to at what would be considered a local dive.
Everyone inside seems to generally be extremely friendly and extremely drunk, so expect some beer sloshing, loud laughter and yelling as opposed to talking. If that’s your idea of a great time, stop by Nine Fine Irishmen for a pint before continuing on with your night!

Don’t be surprised if I upgrade this review to 5 stars in the future. I really enjoyed our late night meal here and got a chance to enjoy the live music and Irish river dancing. There’s a decent selection of whiskeys and some fun cocktails with every combo of stereotypical Irish beer and liquor you could think of. And the food does not disappoint! We ordered the onion rings with mustard (it’s a huge greasy order and my husband and I really should not have finished it but it was so good) and the bangers & mash (truly excellent, highly recommended). The chicken pot pie was popular among the patrons beside us and will definitely be something we try next time we visit. I also have my eye on the lamb dishes too…
The other highlight for me besides the food was Sin E Ri Ra (the band) and Tara Reid (the dancer). If they’re on stage I guarantee you’ll have a good time. They fulfill requests with your tips and do a great mix of folk, traditional Irish song, and classic singalongs. They do the best rendition of «Country Roads» I’ve ever heard! And Tara is simply mesmerizing to watch. There’s also a dance floor right in front of the stage if you want to boogie.
Slainte! Croí folláin agus gob fliuch!
