Moran's is always the place that I have no clue why I keep going back . This is the spots where you can really have a good time with friends while enjoying food and beer just to chill out.

Posted 10/27/09

I agree with the other reviews. Homely atmosphere, take your time eating no one will rush you, and super, super friendly staff people. I know it?s nothing fancy, but I really enjoyed my sandwich and beer. It?s the exact sort of thing I like and I felt relaxed afterwards.

Posted 10/19/09

I really enjoy my time in Moran's. I go to Moran?s almost every weekend. Moran?s is absolutely the best place to go to get a beer and watch the game, Moran?s is one of my favorite spot in the City

Posted 10/12/09

I really love this place, the atmosphere and environment of Moran's really relief my pressure from work. I usually go to Moran's 3 days a week, and I love to bring my friends to there, and enjoy our party.

The food is great and Moran's is always hustling and bustling especially for happy hour so a really great place to mingle! Love their drinks. bartender is cool

I went to dinner there with my wife last Friday and had the best experience one can get in NYC. The food was so delicious, yet at a rather fair price. Service was excellent and the waiter made sure to always be available.

Pros: Best crab cakes ever

Cons: none

Posted 07/22/09

Moran's is all I need after work. A beer and some potato skins or shepphards pie. I've gone on a few casual dates there and definitely just gone with my friends as well. A great place to eat and drink!

Posted 06/07/09

Good service is one of the most important things to me when I go to a restaurant. I love going into a restaurant and having everything done and brought to me without even asking. At Moran?s I was checked on and waited on with such care, not to mention that the food was SUPERB!! Try their French dip or steak sandwich but definitely the place to go if you like a nice relaxing dinner.

Pros: the best french dip

Posted 05/18/09

I usually stop by this place when I have the time. Great place to bring your friends to. Just gotta say, if you like great food, youll like morans.

Posted 04/14/09

This place sure had some great food. You gotta love the sheppards pie. Morans had a big selection for a big guy like me.

Posted 04/06/09

Stopped by morans after work with some friends and the place was awesome! The food was great and the drinks kept comin.

Pros: excellent food

Cons: none

Posted 03/29/09

Definitely worth stopping by. Both staff and food is exceptional. We try to go at least once a month.

Pros: Food and Service

Posted 03/26/09

First time I tried Sheppard?s pie and it looks like I?ll be back for seconds. The service was excellent and the bartender was really cool.

Pros: excellent food

Cons: none

Posted 03/17/09

Me and my buddies usually go to Moran?s for drinks. With a friendly bartender serving us cold drinks, we just relax while talking about the baseball season.

Pros: Great place to hangout

Cons: none

Posted 03/10/09

Moran?s is definitely a great place to check out in Manhattan! The food is really good and the atmosphere is comfy and relaxing. It?s not loud?you don?t have to scream at your friends to be heard. If you?re ever downtown, check it out!

Posted 03/08/09

I went to Moran?s to celebrate a friend?s birthday and service was excellent. The food and booze really made my day.

Posted 03/08/09

I've been here for lunch twice and it has always been phenomenal. I got the exact same things both times, which I usually never do since I like to try new dishes, but it was just too good not to get again!

Posted 02/24/09

Go for the Sheppards Pie! Stay for the drafts! Friendly bartenders! My friends from home really like to go out to this place when they come up to visit me

Posted 02/16/09

I've been going to Moran's for over 10 years. If I'm with clients for lunch or with friends for a beer after work the food is always very good, the atmosphere friendly and comfortable, and the staff always looking to make you feel at home. I think it's one of the best places in lower Manhattan.

Posted 02/11/09

I go here on my lunch break regularly. The food is yummy, the service is always friendly but most importantly I am back in the office before my lunch break is up!!

Posted 02/09/09

A lively scene but not so loud to prevent conversation. Calamari with peppers was a pleasantly interesting twist for an appetizer. I found the main courses to be ok, not great. I enjoyed the sides (steak fries and portobellos) more than the mains (swordfish and a rich lobster/baked cod combo). The service was far more pleasant and attentive than prior reviews led me to expect. A nice experience, but it didn't ... me away.

Posted 12/01/08

I visited this place a couple of times this month. The first time with my parents and the second time with 3 friends. I sampled the food trying to catch that special flavor that could justify the hype ... but we all agreed that the food is ok. he same you can get almost everywhere that serve similar menues.....The service was rushed and unfriendly.

Posted 10/06/08

Moran's is the place you always want to go back to. Dunno why but it's one of those spots where you can really have a good time with friends while enjoying food and beer just to chill out.

Posted 09/28/08

One day I found this restaurant while walking by Washington St. and
now I'm an official client. The food is very good and the place is very comfortable.

Posted 09/10/08

I have been going to bars my whole life with my family owning two. I tend to judge all
bars on three aspects; food, price, and atmosphere. Now when grading Morans I gave
all three an A+. The food was terrific, the happy hour will keep the wallet somewhat
heavy, and the bartenders made great conversations during the Giants game Thursday night.
An overall fun place to go and have a cold beer!!

Posted 09/07/08

I am used to visiting the same places all the time. But I can tell you that here, I had a lot of fun and the food is just great. I?ll definitely keep coming here as the staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed and cozy.

Posted 08/21/08

I had great fun at Morans the other day. It is just so inviting and comfortable there. I love coming here!

Posted 08/13/08

Moran?s has really hip and friendly bartenders. They can even get the shamrock in the bubbles of your Guinness. Now that?s goodness!

Posted 07/27/08

Moran?s is a cozy place with great food. I live in the area and I love to stop by. It reminds me of my mother?s cooking in the kitchen, but with a hip twist.

Posted 07/20/08

I had a great time at Moran?s. The ?castle atmosphere? combined with the friendly staff made me feel like a real king. God bless them!

Pros: Atmosphere

Posted 04/02/08

I agree with the other reviews. Homely atmosphere, take your time eating no one will rush you, and super, super friendly staff people. I know it?s nothing fancy, but I really enjoyed my sandwich and beer. It?s the exact sort of thing I like and I felt relaxed afterwards.

This place truly amazes me. Probably under the most duress possible ,location wise, this place consistently puts out the juiciest, most tender and flavorful burgers I''ve ever tasted. Love those fresh steel cut fries. The girls really know how to serve it up right, no attitude here, just great friendly service. Morans keeps me coming back.

Pros: Great flat screens above bar

Cons: Wish it were closer

Posted 09/01/07

We were regulars at the restaurant long before my daughter had her wedding reception here. The food (especially the Prime Rib) and the drinks (especially the Martini's) are always perfect and the server's never seem to have a bad day. Since my daughter's wedding, two of her friends followed by having their receptions here also. The food tasting experience you get to have before you pick your wedding menu is the best in all of NYC.

Pros: Wonderful, upbeat admosphere

Cons: Can get crowded - for dinner be sure to have a reservation.

Posted 05/10/07

LOVED IT!!! I held my birthday dinner at this restaurant and they were so nice! We managed to have the whole floor to ourselves that night. Our waitress, Laura was really nice and attentive to us. It's a nice and cozy place. The service was fast. The food is okay. I would definitely come back here!!!

Pros: Scenary, service, everything!

Cons: Can't think of any!!

We also had a wedding rehearsal dinner at Moran's for 75-80 people back in November. It was fantastic. The people (Jennifer especially) were incredibly accomodating, the food was stellar, and their beer selection was excellent. If you are planning an event, they have the whole process so streamlined that it's a joy to plan with them. Everyone enjoyed the night, we'd absolutely do an event there again.

Posted 01/31/07

Recently, we hosted a wedding-rehearsal dinner for 25 in the upstairs dining room. Very cozy, with fireplace, but the room can hold well over 100. Events coordinator Jennifer Lynch was extremely attentive to our wishes and a pleasure to work with.

We served a choice of fillet of beef and salmon en croute. Both were excellent, as was the New York -style cheese cake and chocolate mousse pie. Wine, beer and spirits were offered throughout the evening.

Although we got started late, due to a horrible rain and wind storm, the staff welcomed us warmly and served with a smile, even when we wrapped up later than the scheduled time.

Since the wedding ceremony and reception were nearby, in the Battery Park area, the mood of Moran's provided an appropriate prelude to what was a true New York City event. The downstairs bar was lively, but not rowdy -- emanating the feel of an Irish or English pub. Whether you stage an event upstairs, or stop in for a drink or meal in the downstairs bar area, you'll be well satisfied.

Pros: Warm pub atmosphere downstairs; club-like atmosphere in upstairs event room.

Posted 12/03/06

Moran's offers such a warm and relaxed atmosphere, the food is excellent and the staff is great! We had our wedding reception there and it couldn't have been more perfect, from the delicious crab stuffed shrimp to the friendly Irish staff. Our guests are still raving about it 6 months later! The prices are also very affordable, especially if you are looking to book a private party, I highly recommend them!

Pros: Atmosphere, food, service, price

Cons: Closed on weekends for private parties

This a jewel among jewels. We had the fries, each with a big glass of beer in front of the cozy fireplace. We drank it slowly and were never intruded upon by the waitress, although she was handy nearby. y husband had a sumptuous, generous portion of broiled salmon with sauteed spinach(we both loved it). I l had the petite filet mignon on a bed of mashed potatoes. It was the best I have had in years and OH those yummy potatoes. The coffee was fullbodied and tasty, not like the dishwater served at many of the fancy eateries. The raspberry, almond tart was a fine treat to end my birthday dinner. Go and give it a try. Parking on the street is easy after 7PM. That an pleasure all in itself.

I went to Morans with my husband last week and what a find. Its like a hidden treasure. The interior is old style, elegant dark wood with the front kept in its original state of when it was a chapel. The staff were so nice, its as if they really like working there. The food as even better try the salmon welington!! Its definately worth a visit and I cannot believe I am the first to write a review about it!!!

Pros: everything

Cons: no outdoor
