Killarney Rose.

Worth it, says Antonina. All this to say, it’s not hard to see why locals consider Killarney Rose one of the best pubs in the Financial District.

  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

25-year-old Frank Moran stepped foot on Ellis Island in 1950, a determined Irish immigrant, he worked odd jobs to get by before opening Killarney Rose in 1962, a popular neighborhood haunt he passed down to his son John in 2023.

Serving the community cold pints of Guinness and reasonably-priced pub fare like Shepard’s pie and sirloin steak, the bar is best known for running generous daily specials.

Draft beers go for $6 on Mondays, Tin Tuesday gets you $6 aluminum bottles of domestic beer, Wine Down Wednesday offers a glass of wine and jumbo wings for $15, Thursday Dew and Brew is a pint of Guinness and Tullamore shot for $13 and Finally Friday closes the week with $6.50 well cocktails.

All this to say, it’s not hard to see why locals consider Killarney Rose one of the best pubs in the Financial District.

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
