McSorley's Old Ale House: The 152-year-old establishment known as McSorley’s is clearly one of Manhattan’s happy hour havens. A barrage of loyal regulars and first-timers, curious to see the oldest bar in New York, spend hours at the tables every night. Not only is McSorley’s old school, but it also houses one of the city’s largest sausage-fests. Women were allowed in the bar in the ’70s, but to this day, only a handful of sisters dare show their faces. Maybe it’s because you can’t order a martini here. The uncomplicated drink menu consists of light and dark beer, both brewed in-house, and a steal at $4 for the pair. Sans jukebox, barstools, or big-screen TVs, McSorley’s is a no-frills bar, but it does provide wooden floors with inches of sawdust and bartenders famously annoyed by you. |
