THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Tiernan's (fka Michael Sherlock's) Restaurant Review:

This bright, spacious memorabilia- and knickknack-filled Irish bar in the Financial District brings in not only suits looking to get loose but a number of folks from the Auld Sod too (sometimes, they're one and the same). While drinking to live music---from acoustic guitarists to cover bands---takes precedence, you gotta eat sometime, so there's a menu laden with not only all of your sports-bar favorites---skins, chili, burgers---but also shepherd's pie, fish ‘n’ chips and bangers and mash. Go with the Irishisms; nods to contemporary tastes---like fried calamari salad with goat cheese---are just empty gestures.
