Druids: An Irish pub that serves duck confit? On a white tablecloth, no less? Druids is not your typical New York Irish pub. Mirrored Guinness signs are replaced with original work by neighborhood artists and brunch is favored over happy hour. There is an outdoor patio where locals talk politics and after-work VPs come to feel like they’re slumming it. Things are simple here, with no fancy drinks to speak of; there are 14 kinds of beer on offer. Everyone seems nice enough, but there is still no way to shake the feeling that all this shouldn’t be going on a place named after the ancient Irish pagan religion that involves human sacrifice. |
