Ive been to this bar a few times in the Past with ok experiences. Yesterday in particular for the first time have I experienced what I would call RACISM at its finest. I am an African American male whose money apparently is not accepted at this bar. I entered with a female acquaintance after work which many of my co workers normally do and upon paying with a $100 bill for the two drinks which totaled 16 bucks I was asked (after my money was taken) if I had anything smaller. I replied with unfortunately no I dont and I was then asked do I have a credit card that I can use. I was trying to unwind so I said to myself what the heck, sure so I gave him my card. I then wondered why he did not take my money and wanted a card instead so I asked him. I said why wouldnt you accept the 100 dollar bill? The Tender said "Because I do not "feel" as if the Money is real" I do not knowingly own or do shady transactions to end up with counterfeit bills, but.. as a stand up guy it is always possible. But, there are many ways to determine if a bill if real or fake and the bar tender did not take any necessary steps to determine the authenticity of the bill, which was the newest 100 dollar bill to be put into rotation on the market (Blue tint, Blue Strip, all corresponding watermarks). I was going to go a step further but instead I turned to my lady friend and decided to leave. ended up going to the pool/bar on 86th street and had a great time. I will be filing a discrimination Lawsuit along with notifying Every last employee of the Metropolitan Museum of Art whom usually attends, of my experience in hopes that they do not support this type of behavior in New York City.

Never coming back to this bar ever again. From the feedback I got about this place that night... Supposedly the bartender was attempting to communicate with me while I was on the phone and he assumed that I videotaped him which wasnt the case... I was actually watching videos on my device while my friend had gone to pick up a phone call which conveniently was telling colleagues to come to Carlows East... All of a sudden my friend gets into a confrontation with the bartender and at this point, I didnt know about what it was in regards to... He kicked us out... And I was frankly confused since I even asked the bartender how much I owed.. People are way too sensitive with the devices nowadays.. And for the record, get over yourselves. I wasnt recording you but Im glad you reacted as prematurely as you guys did... My advice speak to me directly and get my attention when asking me if Im videoing you. Hope this review helps. Yes, This was the first time ever getting kicked out of a bar and assumed it was the race gig due to the vast confusion when leaving. I dont have many low ranked reviews on bars but this is unfortunately my first... Btw, one of their bartenders actually messaging me stating it is solely an Irish bar which is fine. Dont worry, its New York, theres other bars to go to. My mistake for going to yours.

While the main drag for bars & pubs on the UES is 2nd Avenue, Carlow East is a welcome refuge for locals who want to avoid "the scene" and its accompanying prices and pretense. Combination of Irish pub and sports bar with lots of flatscreens & a decent internet-accessible jukebox, the space is NYC pub-standard, but always very clean. What youll remember most about Carlow East is the service provided by Sean & Vinnie during the day, Emmett & Pat at night. This is definitely a bar populated by locals, but "irregulars" and even tourists are always welcome, provided they mind their manners. Crowded and a bit noisy during the after-work rush on weekdays and usually packed to SRO on weekend nights & Sunday football games, those not familiar with the traffic flow of the place may become frustrated, but not to worry; seats open at the bar and the high-top tables fairly frequently. There is no kitchen, but they dont mind if you bring in your own food or order delivery to the bar. Its easy to spot a regular in the place, and if you ask any of them what their favority bar in NYC is, theyll say, "THIS place." Five/five stars.

Terrible bar. My roommates and I recently moved in around the corner. We are all 21-22, working full time, fresh out of college. Since we are from all different parts of the country, the first time we went in there the bar tender turned us down because he thought our IDs were fake. He was very rude and disrespectful. Instead of asking us for ANY form of back up ID, he told us that the bar is 23+, which obviously was not true. The next week I walked in the in the afternoon hoping to find a more helpful bartender and explain the incident, but instead I got ANOTHER rude extremely condescending employee. He told me it was my partys fault for not having back up IDs. (we did not get a chance to present them originally.) I explained to him that it was not very wise of them to treat customers this way, because had the employes been reasonable and friendly, this probably would have become our go to bar for the next couple years, 2-3 nights a week.

I really wish I could give this bar a better rating and the only reason I even give it 2 stars is because of the 12s who showed up to support the Seahawks. First of all, unless you get there at least 3 hours ahead of the game starting you wont find a seat ... not because the bar is packed, but because there are simply not enough chairs in the place to accommodate the patrons. The beer is flat, there is no food ( at least serve chips or peanuts) the bartenders dont care what you think ... they have their local favorites so if you want a drink, you have to go to them, they wont come to you!! My husband and I were so excited to go watch the game and it turned out to be the least favorite part of our trip to NY. Wouldnt recommend unless you really dont care about quality, service or friendly staff ... the Seahawks fans are awesome though so you can always count on the 12s!!

Carlow East is the BEST Seahawks bar that Ive ever been to. Im a WA resident, and have been to many Seahawks hangouts/bars over the years in many different regions. Carlow Easts staff is second to none, and really added to everyone having a great time during the game. Not to mention they had a unique Emerald City Supporter beer on tap along with many other great draft beers from the PNW. I felt very much at home in this fine establishment. The place was packed, but nobody seemed to care that they were touching shoulder to shoulder with their neighbor. The NYSeahawks are a superb supporters group, and Carlow East deserves your business.

Good experience on a Sunday night Seahawks game. I was visiting from out of town. It seems to be a bar for the few Seahawks fans outside of Seattle. Its a narrow bar that gets crowded pretty quickly. I dont know what its like the rest of the week. The bar tenders were pretty good given the size of the crowd. The bar experience was pretty enjoyable (the game sucked, but thats not the point).
