NEW YORK-NEW YORK’S IRISH PUB AND RESTAURANT
FEATURES TRADITIONAL IRISH FOOD AND ENTERTAINMENT
IN AN AUTHENTIC PUB ENVIRONMENT


LAS VEGAS – New York-New York is home to America’s most ambitious Irish pub – Nine Fine Irishmen. Imported directly from Ireland, this authentic Irish pub overlooks the Las Vegas Strip and features the best of Irish drink, food, music and entertainment.
Inspired by a group of nine extraordinary Irishmen in the 1800s who led lives of great adventure and achievement, Nine Fine Irishmen celebrates their passion for Ireland, joy for life and sense of adventure. Incorporating the styles of pubs found across Ireland with Victorian bars, cottage areas and shop-style snugs, the interior of the 9,000-square-foot pub is as genuine as the food. Designed by the Irish Pub Company and built by Ireland’s craftsmen with Irish materials, Nine Fine Irishmen is literally a slice of Ireland transported to the Las Vegas Strip.
“Our goal was to make it genuinely Irish – in bricks, mortar, food and entertainment,” said Cynthia Kiser Murphey, president of New York-New York. “Nine Fine Irishmen is a place to relax, have fun and enjoy Irish spirit and camaraderie.”
Nine of Ireland’s most esteemed chefs were selected to provide traditional regional dishes. Each has contributed a signature dish, delivering natural Irish foods and flavors. Nine Fine Irishmen not only imported their recipes but also the ingredients needed to give the food an authentic taste. The menu reflects everything from pub favorites to the more sophisticated cuisine of the country’s various regions.
Music and entertainment are an essential part of the Nine Fine Irishmen experience. Irish song, dance and storytelling blend with the hum of lively conversation to create the ideal Irish pub ambiance. Late-night entertainment at the pub features modern dance club music mixed by Ireland’s best DJs.
Nine Fine Irishmen is open daily for lunch, dinner and drinks. Lunch is served from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. and dinner is served from 4 p.m. until 11 p.m. Private dining rooms are available for parties and business functions.
