PJ Leahy’s

Super legit!
Plays some old school queens Ish late night which is cool in my book!!!
Ran into this place mad random because of the wine bar next door. We were looking for a no-​frills place that served late. This place did that and more! I actually haven’t heard a bar play «ether» by nas (and I worked in music for 5 years during this very time) since I still got blacked the eff out over jamo shots!
Great no-​nonsense device, great vibe from the bouncer and other customers. Come!
Not many places can give me this level of nostalgia anymore, +++1 thank you!!!

This is your basic neighborhood Irish sports bar. Nothing screams out about this place, but the bartenders are usually friendly and it’s a Mets bar, so I’m always happy and willing to get some beers here and watch a game. Got food one time (burger fries and wings type of deal) and it’s what you’d expect from a local pub. It’s avg in size but it has character. It gets 4 stars from me because drinks aren’t too pricey (both beer and liquor), it’s close to my gf’s place, and I’m a huge Mets fan.

Wow, I thought it was going to be a dive bar from looking at the storefront. You walk in and it’s pretty clean and well kept. Can’t say anything about the food, because I didn’t order any, but a glass of glenlivet was $ 8. I wonder how much the beers are.
I think this would be a cool place to watch the Mets game or to grab a casual drink.

the bartender/​waitress is so sweet and has a accent from somewhere in europe. couldnt tell. this place is very simple and clean. never really too packed and the drinks are pretty strong. Second time coming here but be warned! thier wings are not that great. taste like baked plain chicken wings with regular hot sauce over them –_​– they could have done better but ehh i gueas who carea when ur drunk already. Last time i got a mojito but this time i got a long island iced tea. pretty good and alot of outlets to charge ur phone if ur like me and always have a dying iphone lol.

Michelle is the best bartender in LIC hands down! I always have a great experience when shes around.

Been here a few times for a quick drink, perfect location right at the top of the stairs of the 7. The best part about this bar is it has not changed or been totally invaded by all of the hipster-​yuppie– stroller set… yet.
Extra star for not selling out. It still has the look and feel of the old LIC when it was all factories and warehouses. You got to love how the whole place shakes when the 7 train rolls in underneath
Was here last night bartenders nice. Good service. Basic drink specials. Typical pub food. Fries were perfect.
I will stumble in again.

We came in craving a beer and burger and were really happy. The place has a local vibe that we also liked a lot. The fries were meh but was not expecting much. The burger was really tasty, tho.

Let me start off by saying I love a good dive bar. PJ Leahy’s fits that description and adds to it «Irish Pub». The bartenders and patrons were all extremely friendly, and I don’t really have any complaints. This isn’t a New York «hipster bar» for sure. It’s a Long Island City locals bar. Grab yourself a beer and a shot, watch the game, and make friends with the fellow patrons while catching a good buzz.
Drink Choice: Boilermaker
*Hint: Right around the corner, West down 50^th Avenue, there is a pier with a beautiful view of the Manhattan skyline. It’s about a 5 minute walk from the bar.

A rainy Sunday watching NFL football at PJH. I had a great time here. We had ice cold pitchers of Yuengling for $ 14. The pitchers have these center ice sections that keep your beer cold to the last drop. The pj burger was big and juicy. I liked the shoe string fries since they were cooked exactly how I like them. Crunchy on the outside and just a tad soft in the center. Unfortunately there are a lot of locals that come here to watch sports. Most of the tables are reserved so come early and hopefully you can get one like we did before the reservation kicks in. (1pm game but 4pm res on table). The two bar staff were friendly and very busy. We got free shots when jets or giants scored. It was a good day for both. 3 shots and counting.

Went to watch a football game on a Sunday afternoon after reading the positive Unilocal reviews. Needed a good sports bar to watch a game in LIC. Unfortunately, this place is not going to be my spot. All of the televisions are reserved for specific parties, so if you don’t get there at the start of the game, you may not be able to watch your team. Had about 15 tvs going and would not change any of them to the game that we wanted. Had to leave for another bar.

Decent bar right off the 7. The bar food is pretty good and the service is great. Stick with bottled beer. Not sure how often they get around to cleaning the taps.

Get the PJ burger. Great food. Good drinks. Even better bar tender.

Standard pub with no pretense. Excellent prices with buybacks enforced properly. Very workmanlike crowd where there’s zero frill and an emphasis on sports and normal conversations. The bartenders are friendly, effficient, and knowledgable.

Good place in LIC to kill a few beers and have decent bar food. If you’re hopping off the 7 line after a Mets game or it’s on your way after work this is a solid place to drop in for a few beers. They sport a decent variety of beers on draft and a menu they can be proud of. I didn’t find any of the drinks or entrees to be particularly special, but I also wast looking for anything like that either. I just wanted place to with an uniting atmosphere where a few friends and I could catch up and not have it be too loud.
It’s the easiest place to convince people to go to when you pop out of the subway station looking for your first beer of the night. It’s a good starter bar to get some brews and food in your before a bigger night in the town, or it’s a good after work bar to kick back and relax at before heading home. Either way, I’m gonna be there for 1 — 3 beers and a bite.

Our first venture out into our neighborhood and Sandy didn’t hit us too bad except for some ground floor flooding in lower areas. PJ Leahy’s was open for business though and it was quite packed with many neighborhood residents discussing the storm. Hurricane Sandy news was on all the TVs and you could see some people charging their phones and checking in on friends and relatives.
We ordered a couple drinks and some snacks including the chicken tenders, steak quesadilla, and macaroni and cheese. The chicken tenders are always a solid choice here and today was no different. It was the favorite item of the three, with the steak quesadilla a close second. The quesadilla could have had a bit more cheese, but it was filled with plenty of steak so that was a plus. Finally the macaroni and cheese was just okay and not something I would order again. It was a bit bland and on the looser side.
Service was extremely slow and inattentive but might just be short staffed due to the hurricane. It remains my go-​to bar in the neighborhood and hopefully the service issue was just a fluke.

Great local pub. i only eat here on Wednesdays for burger and a beer for 10 bucks. Other than that, i come about once a wk to meet friends for a drink, great bartenders.

If you want to experience a rude bar maid this is the place to go. So, on a Friday night around 10pm a couple of us went here to grab a bit to eat. We got our menus and strange looks, not sure why. We took about five minutes to make a decision on what we wanted to order. Within those five minutes the waitress/​barmaid felt the need to be extremely rude and tell us if we didn’t want to eat we can sit at the bar. We told her twice give us a minute to decide what we want to eat. It’s not like the place was crowded at all but I can tell why because the service was horrible. As soon as we finished our meal a couple of our other friends came in and the waitress immediately told us we can go to the bar, again we told her these people are going to eat too. Either way I don’t know what her problem was but I will never go here again. I’ve been here numerous times and never have I experienced this negativity before. It’s sad because some of their dishes here are actually good. For some reason she wanted to get us out of the bar quickly, its not like we were dressed or looked bad we were dressed causal. If anything there was a tiny group of people in their mid 40s to mid 50s so they should be glad mid 20s people even wanted to go into this place.
:BATHROOM ALERT: Make sure you lock the door well because you can be fooled. The inside was clean and that’s pretty much the best part of this bar. With their bathroom being clean I was a lot happier with the food too bad the server was bad.
If you want to go to this place I suggest maybe going in the afternoon because the other times I went this barmaid was not there. I love their open steak sandwich but not with an attitude. The plus side if you like this place with all its rudeness is that the 7 train is right in front of it and also you can never worry about anything going wrong in this place in terms of fighting because it’s also called «the cop bar» because the 108 precinct is right down the block. They also have some good drink specials that you can enjoy if you still want to check this place out. As for me they lost a local.

Typical sports bar.
A good place to grab a quick drink, or to watch a game.
Packed with regulars.
Attracts a largely 30 and older crowd, and kind of a rowdy one at that.
I’ve never eaten here, but watching the food come out of the kitchen always gives me an appetite and I’ve heard nothing but good things.
This bar is not a place you travel to.
It’s a place to stop by if you happen to be in the area while you’re on your way to your real destination, or want to grab a quick drink before heading home for the night.

In the era before LIC was destroyed by development and overrun with transplants from who knows where, this was one of the few bars in the neighborhood. Despite walking past it every day when i got off the 7, I never ventured in.
However, all that changed when I didnt have cable in ²⁰⁰⁶⁄₂₀₀₇. I began coming in occasionally to watch the Yankees and before long I was coming in about 3 times a week to watch the Yankees game, drink some cheap Bud and have dinner.
The bartenders (particularly Gina and Kerry) were great — remembering my name, what I drank, where I worked and asking me where my girlfriend was. Buybacks after three drinks at the bar and great food.
I came here for years to watch football on Sundays (you can easily reserve a table for a low minimum) with your own tabletop TV with a remote.
Its the only bar I’ve ever felt like I was treated as a regular and whenever I am in the hood, I stop by for a drink.

I went into it one night thinking it was a dive-​bar but left finding a good, go-​to spot. Cheap beer and reasonably priced food. It’s a real local spot, including the old-​time locals. They remember you and go out of their way for you. A great spot to watch a game (flat screens at every table and a few behind the bar) or to go to just grab a good drink and catch up with friends. Nothing fancy, but doesn’t pretend to be. Their food is great too. Their burgers are the best in the area. Definitely try the Zingers. They’re addicting.
If your’e in LIC and just looking for a good spot to hang out or grab a pint, I’d highly recommend it.
