Lunasa: In the perennial search to find the perfect place for happy hour, it seems like you must have gotten drunk at every bar in Manhattan—but Lunasa has escaped you ’til now. The self-proclaimed “future of Celtic pubs” is decorated in muted hues, not the typical mahogany walls and bright Kelly green detailing you’ve come to expect from Irish pubs. But you’ll be willing to forego that when you discover their weekday 2-for-1 drink specials and half-price appetizers, in addition to entrées under $10. No dressed-up folks here—just a jeans-and-t-shirt kind of crowd—but that’s all the better to enjoy the multitude of sports blaring on the TVs. And for those of you who just can’t kick the smoking habit, you can enjoy your pint of Guinness in the backyard beer garden, made even better with the bar’s own imported Irish compression system. Get guzzling. |
