Ladies, there's no mirror in the bathroom. Bring your own ;-)
NYU WagnerMarch 15, 2012they FINALLY have a lady's room. You don't know how exciting this is for New Yorkers. And don't wear open toe shoes ladies, unless you like saw dust in your shoes.
Matthew KoppelAugust 21, 2011Come here while the sun is still up and you can actually enjoy yourself and hear what other people are saying.
Try the veal and don't forget to tip your waitress.
Brian SearlOctober 17, 2010This is one of the oldest bars in Manhattan and highly recommended for any visit to NYC.
Corinne KieselatMay 14, 2011Though I just got a splinter in my little toe, the dark ale made up for it. Cheers!
Price PadgettJuly 30, 2012This is where Abraham Lincoln used to drink when he was in NYC. Enough said.
Andy GrayMay 26, 2013Don't go on a Saturday! Too packed and full of knobs! Also have guys working the floor who I wouldn't have mopping the floor in a whore house!
Kristina GarciaAugust 17, 2012Light or dark ale. Get in, get out. (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Oliviero BorgnaOctober 10, 2010If your sitting next to the phone at the entrance you have to answer and say "McSorleys!"
Lou GubertiAugust 16, 2011Can't argue with a classic. I always pick the dark cause I'm boring. Fries + Mustard is swag
Gideon OlshanskyMarch 14, 2016Don't order anything that isn't light or dark beer. Seriously. Don't try.
J CrowleyOctober 6, 2011Notice the wishbones hanging over the bar. They were left by soldiers before leaving for World War I and never returned...
Dan TaylorJanuary 10, 2010There are only 2 kinds of beer: McSorley's Lite and McSorley's Dark, but they are both delicious!
Matthew JurkowskiJanuary 11, 2011With at least 100 people packed in, only 4 employees are needed to keep the system going. Watch as the barman carried 16 half pints at once!

"Really great, casual spot to grab dinner and/or drinks. I'm fond of their Tavern Steak Salad, Chipotle BBQ burger and the Sunrise Martinis."

"Come for the Lillie Pennie. Traditionally called a "Moscow Mule" this mix of vodka, ginger beer and lemon served in a copper mug is the best drink they make!"
