My favorite bar in the neighborhood. Years ago while searching for place to live, I plopped down at ABB with a friend of mine, grabbed the local paper and began looking through real estate ads to gauge prices. It was Saturday morning and Bob Dylan fired up on the stereo. We each ordered one of the best Irish breakfasts that Ive had to date. The spring sun was shining in as a few young and old patrons fitered in; some ready to start a serious session, some just popping in for coffee. I knew this place was for me. Fast forward ten years and I still visit ABB at least once a week. It has a fair amount of families during the day and a vibrant, mellow crowd at night. Captain Lawrence is almost always on tap. The kitchen is still the same size but they have an expanded menu of decent stuff. Well worth the visit.

My very first day working in Riverdale involved a trip to An Bean Bocht Cafe, and I absolutely loved it. The service was amazing, and the food ... I did not expect pork chops could ever taste that good, and it did. Everyone seemed super-happy to be there, and the live music is something you dont really get to hear in a lot of places. And heres the thing ... it was good, too. The only thing Im trying to figure out is why I havent been back there yet ...

Gaelic bar/restaurant. Good bar food - I keep ordering the burger, its juicy and crumbles as a well prepared burger should. The shepherds pie is another prime entree here. The wings may be of small portion but they are well-breaded and have a fine buffalo sauce on top - I always order the wings with dinner. The beer selection is modest but covers most tastes (you can have your local craft brew, your imports, or your bud light). The price is modest too.

A wonderful friendly place. especially if you are creatively inclined. Cafe has its own very active theatre group presenting many original plays. The PoorMouth) Theatre has become a landmark in the Bronx. Concerts- - from folk music and classic rock to classical string quartets are heard on a regular basis. Food is excellent Stimulating conversation. Very friendly. Open 7 days a week

This is one of two restaurants I really love up here in Riverdale.The sauces and dishes are delicious, made with fresh spices and quality ingredients. The puri and naan taste scratch baked. Weve tried every lamb dish. Always tender. Its good food. The only minus is consistency -- a couple of times, the papadums and samos came overcooked and burnt.

Easily the best bar in Riverdale, though thats not saying much. Families are welcome during the day and they have great bands at night without a cover charge. Bartenders are friendly and drink prices are reasonable. The only downside? The food is absolutely horrible. Go eat somewhere else, then hit this place on your way home.

The food is okay, but its probably not the attraction for this place.The menu is pretty limited as the kitchen is as big as my closet. If you are looking for an irish pub with good food, Riverdale City Grill is a better bet. But this place is a bit more relaxed for having a few drinks (and the food is merely a bonus).

Weve been in a couple of times in the past ten years. Frankly, the place was seedy. It needed a good airing out and scrubbing. Hopefully, the place has improved since then, especially the food, which was mediocre. The historical memorabilia on the walls was appreciated.

The greatest neighborhood irish pub of Riverdale. Live music, beers on tap, micro brews, seasonal cocktails, guiness to top it off. Reasonable pricing and a chill/ laid back atmosphere. Youd be lucky to get to go there sometime soon!

Outstanding brunch at very reasonable prices. Cozy & colorful ambiance with plenty of personality. Good place to hang out with a pint or whatever and no pressure to get moving. Spirited live music with no cover.

This place was a magical realm that had me smiling ear from ear, as Ll!ve Celtic music played and the atmosphere had me gazing up to see all the little things that makes this place spacial. I will be back.

A nice little Irish pub with good food, live local music. Theres not a lot in this area, and its kind of a singular place. It has the kind of mom-and-pop old-school charm that you cant fake.

Great place with diverse crowd and a atmosphere thats reminiscent of small town pubs in southern Ireland, instead of the carbon copy bars that decorate the rest of NYC. Very much recommend.

Friendly staff. Great music. Beef stew and shepherds pie was delicious. Parking is a bit of a pain and really loud talkers (self proclaimed obnoxious assholes) even when theres music.

Love the vibe, and live music. Takes a while to have someone take your order if sitting in back room. I had to leave, I couldnt wait any longer

This bar has a cool decor but the food and drinks are overpriced. Some dishes are good but most not.
