Tara Mór: A Modern Irish Bar Near Penn Station
Tara Mór reimagines the classic Irish pub for the pace of Midtown — warm wood paneling, emerald-green accents, glowing sconces, and contemporary art around a sizable horseshoe bar, so it feels both authentically Irish and polished and modern. It sits at 150 West 30th Street, a one-minute walk from Penn Station and a block from Madison Square Garden, which makes it a natural meeting point for commuters, concert and game crowds, Irish expats, and after-work professionals.
There are 16 HD screens for the big games, live music on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and a private ‘Off the Record’ speakeasy for events. Behind the bar there’s a rotating lineup of seasonal spritzes, the re-engineered Midtown Mule, a trio of margaritas, and draft lines running from crisp lagers to robust stouts — including one of the best pints of Guinness in the city — plus a whiskey shelf deep in both familiar and hard-to-find Irish expressions.
