"The Full Shilling is a fantastic Irish pub in the Financial District of New York City that offers so much more than a pint of Guinness. While the atmosphere is warm and inviting—perfectly capturing that authentic pub feel with its low lighting and a bar that was literally shipped from Belfast—it's the food that truly steals the show. I've had Shepherd's Pie at a lot of places, but the one at The Full Shilling is hands-down the best I've ever tasted. It's a masterpiece of comfort food. The chopped sirloin and vegetables are simmered in a rich, savory gravy that is seasoned to perfection. The crowning glory is the creamy, golden potato-parmesan crust that's both fluffy and slightly crisp on top. Every bite is a perfect balance of flavors and textures, making for a hearty and incredibly satisfying meal. It’s a dish that feels like a warm hug and sets a new standard for what Shepherd's Pie should be. This pub is a must-visit for anyone craving delicious, authentic Irish fare."

"Food is solid. Staff is like family after 3 visits. Atmosphere = dark 90s/00s vibe. Perfect for a winter day snuggled in with Some French onion soup ."

"Came here on a Monday evening as I was craving Fish and Chips. They didn't disappoint, so that alone would be enough to come back. However, service was super friendly and the draft beer selection is decent, which all added to the good experience."

"Bartender was friendly and attentive. The espresso martinis were delicious. The food looked good, we only had drinks but saw others had food at the bar. Decently priced for Manhattan."

"The food was disappointing for an Irish pub in NYC. The bangers and mash (pictured)wasn’t great. The sausages were skinny ones that could come from a freezer or been on a breakfast plate. They weren’t the fat sausages I’ve got with this dish elsewhere in the US, Vancouver, and London. The gravy was bland. And rather than the sautéed and braised onions it came with fried onions on top. The Caesar was fine but the lettuce was chopped too small, making it difficult to eat with a fork. The beer selection was good. The bartenders were very attentive and were willing to let me sample beers before purchasing."
