Phoenix Park: Teeming with tiny, sweater-wearing dogs and their well-heeled owners, the neighborhood surrounding Phoenix Park can be an intimidating place for New Yorkers without trust funds, rich daddies, or CEO husbands. Casual yet classy, Phoenix Park manages to maintain the laid-back attitude of a happy hour joint without sticking out like a sore thumb. The walls of this pub’s snug back dining room and backyard beer garden are painted with Celtic designs and softly lit by votive candles, while five wide, shiny new plasma TVs dominate the front bar. Draft beer and well drinks are $3.50 every day during happy hour, so come in anytime from lunch ’til 7pm for a pint. |
