Neighborhood Irish pub near MSG with friendly service, hearty classics, and a real kids menu; food quality ranges from solid to uneven and fish and chips can disappoint.
Maggie Reilly's delivers solid neighborhood pub dining with attentive, friendly bartenders and reliable comfort food—burgers and mac and cheese shine—but inconsistent execution, especially with fish and chips, prevents higher grades.

One caveat: Fish and chips draw inconsistent feedback including small portions or undercooking
