We are two lads who moved here from the same little village in the heart of Ireland over 10 years ago. "The Laurels" was the name given to the local football field where we grew up; where fun was had, experiences shared and memories made. We hope "The Laurels" NYC-version can offer our customers the same!

Great, eclectic menu and everything we ordered was very good: corn chowder, falafel boa buns, and Kale Caesar salad. The Irish session from 7 to 9 was excellent! I can’t wait to go back

Beckett’s is my go-to sports bar in the Financial District. Me and my friends always end up here for a game. The vibe’s always fun, the staff is super chill, and the food is way better than you’d expect. They’ve got two floors, so it’s a great spot for events, too. And seriously, there are so many TVs—it’s hard to miss anything. Plus they play different games, so they aren’t all streaming the same game. I’d say their biggest plus is that you can ask the staff to put on a game you want to watch, and they’ll do it. Not many sports bars do…If you’re looking for a spot to hang out and catch a game, this place is the move.
