Blackwell's Pub and Restaurant

Named after Blackwell’s Island (now Roosevelt Island), this spot offers lunch, dinner, and brunch with a reputation for Irish hospitality. The kitchen turns out classic pub fare like mac and cheese, burgers, and potato skins, with a lunch service geared toward those on an under-an-hour timeline. Regulars highlight the attentive staff—including bartenders Johnny and David—who keep drinks topped up and are happy to tune the TVs to requested games, all at competitive Midtown prices.
