Upper East Side Irish Pub Pints and Trivia

Hendrickson's is a welcoming Irish pub on First Avenue in the Upper East Side, run by friendly owners and a warm, energetic staff. The beer selection is small but solid, drinks are fairly priced, and the kitchen lifts standard pub fare with a chicken sandwich and fries plus a lineup of appetizers.

The room splits its attention between sports fans watching the screens and regulars who would rather chat with the bartenders over a pint. On Wednesday nights the pub runs a trivia game with prizes like free drinks for the winners, which turns a midweek evening into a team effort.

The bar is open daily from noon to 2 AM. The kitchen keeps shorter hours, serving from noon to 9 PM Monday through Thursday and from noon to 10 PM on Friday and Saturday. Eat inside those windows and save the late hours for another round at the bar.
