- TheyAreNot theMajorityMarch 14, 2014We just love the place & have been regulars for the last 2 years. Good strong drinks, great prices, more than decent bartenders. Fridays & Saturdays are crazy crowded & a lil annoying, so go Sun-Thur!
The Corcoran GroupMarch 23, 2012Traditional cozy neighborhood Irish pub that has a slightly antiquated feel to it. Best during the warmer months when you can grab a table on the sidewalk.
Sam HJanuary 12, 2015Good deals, as expected of east village. Try their Irish coffee or spiked cider both priced at $7. It will warm any cold heart (or body)
Tina SpadesJanuary 9, 2015pete is the bee's knees. ask for a dark and stormy. tell him tina and ashanti sent u.
Matt EdwardsJanuary 5, 2016Great place to duck off to if you don't feel like going to a more popular local place.
Pete the bartender is the best bartender in East Village, known him since 2000! Great prices and service!
Great pub with awesome selection of beers and very friendly barman. Also, the music is great!- RCApril 8, 2015When 13th step is spilling in to the street, this place is inviting and inexpensive. Like it.
Andrew the bartender is awesome. If you can put up with some good old NYC ball busting, you'll find he's the man and takes VERY good care of regulars.- Tina SpadesJanuary 9, 2015pete is the bee's knees. ask for a stormy irishman. tell him tina and ashanti sent u.
Look for Andrew and Kerry! They are some of the nicest bartenders you will ever meet. Andrew's Snapple drink is also extremely potent.
BlytheMarch 31, 2012Uhhh "20oz sangria" is served in PINT glasses?! with tons of ice... That's just obnoxious. Lyings never cool, but red sangria IS good. Stop lying.
Matthew HurstDecember 24, 2009Ask the bartender about what's on tap. Hapy Hour lasts until 8pm most nights, so the discount usually allows you to try tasty beers on the cheap.
Brandy BoraJune 26, 2010I live across the street and love having a bar where the bartender is fun to chat with, knows everyones name and what they drink.
Sherry OJuly 2, 2011Grab some stools at the bar and stay for awhile, lively spot and the bartenders are great!
Emily HymesMarch 22, 2016Bartender bought the bar pizza! Not overly crowded. Bartender looks like Louie CK
The bartender, Pete is the best bartender in New York City.

- scattered stanzaJanuary 28, 2012.the hot spiked cider with rum is the perfect cure for the winter blues aka the freezing cold.
- Keri and Jon are the best bartenders EVER! Tip them well!
Preston ResetMay 31, 2010Its eh. Ok. If you are in the neighborhood waiting for dinner guests or a table up the street plunk down here. The bartenders are nice people and it is a nice place to wait things out.
Tanu CNovember 23, 2013The whiskey martinis don't exist anymore! Bartenders don't seem to know about it...
Time Out New YorkMarch 30, 2010Knock back $4 well drinks from 5 to 8pm Monday through Wednesday (and 2 to 8pm Thursday through Sunday). Read more
