McKeown’s: McKeown’s is one of the more handsome pubs on the Upper East Side, with its shiny red storefront and polished dark wood inside. Wash down traditional dishes like Irish stew, fish and chips, and shepherd’s pie with a standard Guinness or one of 26 wines from their respectable selection. Come in for the daily happy hour (4pm-7pm) and get $2 to $3 off your drinks, and stay tuned on Wednesday nights to hear live acoustic rock ’n’ roll; TVs and a jukebox entertain as well. With so many raunchy old Irish pubs to choose from on the Upper East Side, McKeown’s is a safe bet for a family meal, a beer with friends, or a casual date. |
