Pop Pop’s Top Shelf Burger!

Voted Best Burger in NYC - two-time Tony Winner! Yet again, Peter McManus Café has emerged victorious in the Battle of the Burger! Twenty finalists grilled it out in the Battle of the Burger at the South Street Seaport, but after two rounds of blind taste-testing by Time Out New York's panel of judges, the Chelsea Burger was crowned the champion! Not content to rest on past glory, McManus once again entered the Battle of the Burger, and once again - Peter McManus Café made mincemeat of the competition and brought home the People’s Choice Award! Read all about our victory here! (See METRO's coverage of the burger smackdown )

if these walls could talk

McManus is that rare neighborhood bar with universal appeal—a microcosm of all that makes New York City great. Pull up a stool and order a pint, the conversation and laughs flow as easily as the Guinness on tap! There is also a dining room in the back with plenty of seating to enjoy lunch, dinner, drinks and laughter.

If these walls could talk, there wouldn’t be a dry seat in the house! As the oldest family-run bar in New York City, McManus has seen its fair share of triumph and tragedy through the years. We were here when the Yankees were known as the Highlanders and the Met Life Tower was the tallest building in the world!  (And yes—that is a bullet hole in the stained glass cabinet behind the bar.  Come in and ask Jamo McManus what happened there—he’d rather not commit it to print!)
