Nine Fine Irishmen

Nine Fine Irishmen at New York-New York is the kind of Irish pub that actually feels like an Irish pub—not some corporate knockoff with shamrocks glued to the walls and "Kiss Me I'm Irish" t-shirts for sale. They've got live music most nights, Guinness that's poured correctly, and a happy hour deal that's almost too good to be true: a burger, fries, and a beer for under $15. Yeah, you read that right.

The Deal That Slaps

Monday through Thursday from 2-5pm, you can get a $9.99 burger with fries plus a $4.99 draft beer. Do the math—that's less than 15 bucks for a legit meal and a drink on the Vegas Strip. The burger is solid too, not some frozen patty bullshit. Cooked to order, decent toppings, fries that are actually crispy. It's the kind of deal that makes you wonder how they're making money, but who cares—capitalize on it.

Beyond the Burger Deal

If you're not feeling the burger (though honestly, why wouldn't you be?), the regular happy hour menu has other specials on apps and drinks. The fish and chips is proper—beer-battered, served with malt vinegar, none of that sad freezer-section crap. Guinness beef stew if you're trying to soak up a day of drinking. And the Irish nachos (waffle fries loaded up) are a sneaky good choice for sharing.

Draft selection is heavy on Irish and UK imports, obviously. The Guinness pour is legit—they know the two-part pour, they let it settle, it's the real deal. If you're not a stout person, they've got plenty of lagers and ales. Cocktails are standard but well-made, and the whiskey selection is deep if you're into that.

The Atmosphere

This place has vibes. Dark wood, cozy booths, a proper bar setup, and usually live Irish music starting in the evening. During happy hour it's chill—locals and tourists mixing, sports on TV, conversations you can actually hear. As the night goes on it gets livelier, especially when the band starts up.

The staff is genuinely friendly, and service is quick. They're used to the happy hour rush and keep things moving without making you feel rushed. It's that sweet spot of attentive without being annoying.

Who Should Go

If you want a filling meal and a beer for the price of a casino cocktail, this is your spot. It's great for a low-key afternoon, pre-gaming before exploring the Strip, or just escaping the casino chaos for a bit. The live music later makes it worth coming back in the evening if you're into that scene.

Only downside? It's Monday through Thursday only, so weekend warriors are out of luck. But if you're in town mid-week and want one of the best value happy hours on the Strip, Nine Fine Irishmen delivers every damn time. Sláinte.
