    Popular neighborhood bar. Great beer and whiskey specials. Space is tight, so be prepared to be close and personal with your fellow bar goers

    There is no greater happy hour. A true dive. The bartenders are amazing. Bianca and John pour some pretty righteous drinks!

    If there's ever a serious emergency, this is the NYBros meeting point. Seriously. This is where we go if the lights go out.

    My other 5th street go to. This place is a gem and possibly the closest replacement to Mars Bar you can find.

    Bianca hates Hot Toddys. Don't ask for them. They're stupid anyway. You like these then go home and have hot lemon tea alone in the dark.

    Sometimes they have mojitos. Good spot for throwing surprise parties.

    $6 PBR and well bourbon happy hour is appealing. As is the 4am and later lock-in where you can convince the bartenders to put on your iPod.

    Also, the two heated pipes against the wall do wonders for your back. It's like a hot tub.
