To fully appreciate this watering hole, you need to know the neighborhood. Severely lacking in clean, appealing places to go out for drinks (without dropping a week's pay) this area is well served by a new Irish pub. The beer list bravely veers away from the usual suspects and clearly takes things up a notch, while the bar puts out a hefty assortment of malt whiskeys. Hey, when you've got a happy hour that starts at 11am, what else do you need? Throw in a few flat screen TVs, and you've just made half of New York City happy. Oh, thanks to an upstairs bar and second room, this place rarely gets uncomfortably crowded: truly a rarity in NYC.
