Jim Brady's

In a pocket of Lower Manhattan where commuters and neighbors mix between brick sidewalks, Jim Brady’s anchors the block as a recognizable Irish pub. After work hours, the sidewalk fills with laughter and a hum of conversation that drifts onto Maiden Lane itself. Although best known for pints, the spot also pulls in locals for surprisingly solid comfort food and a rotating list of cocktails.

Under the same roof you’ll find beer on tap, a wine list, and hard liquor options alongside coffee and happy-hour bites. Lunch and dinner sit on the menu daily, with dessert and table service available as the evening deepens. The neighborhood’s lunch rush keeps the kitchen busy midday, while dinner brings a more relaxed crowd. Alcohol is poured throughout, and happy hour drinks and small plates appear at the same hours.

From the corner at 75 Maiden Ln New York, NY 10038, Jim Brady’s sits a block from Broadway and a short walk from the Financial District. The address puts it within reach of those cutting through the Financial District or hopping off the 2/3 at Wall Street. A quick call ahead can secure a table, but walk-ins usually slide right into seats once the dinner service begins.

Before heading over, grab the map and head east through the Financial District’s grid: https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x89c25a17c1299b0b:0x992c23d9fcecb012. The sidewalks can narrow after six, so cutting down the side streets saves time when you’re ready to step inside.
