Best Wings in Upper East Side
Master Critic Review
Dylan Murphy's
8.2
A Yorkville Irish pub where wings are the point, not a side quest—crispy, sauced-to-order, and built for repeat visits during games or late nights. The best move is to stay disciplined: wings first, then one supporting pub-food item if you still need it.
Must-Try Dishes:
Famous Wings (Hot), BBQ Wings, Buffalo Chicken Fingers

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; limited and competitive after 6pm—plan to walk a few blocks or use a rideshare during game nights.
Dress code: Casual pub wear—jeans, hoodies, and team gear all fit right in.
Noise level: Loud during games and peak hours—conversation takes a backseat once the TVs are up.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes during big games; faster turnover late night
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—fries and a few pub sides, but wings dominate the menu.
Vegan options: Very limited—best for drinks only.
Gluten-free options: Some options available, but no dedicated gluten-free prep; cross-contact is possible.
Best For
Better for: Consistently crispy, sauce-forward wings in a true sports-bar environment—this is a wings-first stop, not a general pub.
Skip if: You want a quiet meal, diverse menu, or strong vegetarian/vegan options.
