Ernie O'Malley's

Between the hum of Kips Bay and the quieter stretches of Murray Hill, a bar and grill holds its ground on 27th Street. Ernie O'Malley's fits into the block at 140 E 27th St, New York, NY 10016, where the sidewalk traffic thins just enough to make outdoor seating feel like a pause in the city’s rhythm. This isn’t a place that leans into gimmicks—just a straightforward spot where bar games and trivia nights keep the energy steady, and the option for curbside pickup or takeout means the food travels as easily as it stays. For quick questions or last-minute table checks, the number to call is (646) 398-8157.

Veteran-owned and marked by an assistive hearing loop, it’s one of those spots where the details—like live music cutting through the usual bar chatter or a beer selection that doesn’t require a novel to navigate—feel intentional without being overstated. Sports play on screens, cocktails get poured, and the pace stays brisk, whether you’re grabbing a bite at the bar or waiting for an order to-go. Directions are a tap away via this map link, dropping you a block from the F train’s rumble and the kind of midtown-adjacent corner where the neighborhood still dictates the vibe.
