One of the oldest bars in Manhattan. Brian was the bartender and he makes a fabulous drink. Had the charred corn soup special and it was amazing. Go here if you wanna feel like a real New Yorker. Heads up.....they're nice here. Like most true New Yorkers are.

Dimly light bar. Old school cash registers. Didn't have anything to eat. Out exploring the neighborhood & found this place. Very casual place friendly bartender

Finally made it to this iconic bar. We stopped by for lunch. It was quiet. The space is like something out of a movie. It's so dark that you can't see the menu without a flashlight. I had been in the mood for a Guinness and was finally able to score one here. My brother indulged his Ballantine beer fetish. We have been looking for a solid place to eat chicken wings. The wings here were among the best that I have had in Manhattan. They were crispy and the sauce was balanced. The sauce was a bit mild. The onion rings were on point. Fun lunch at a historic bar. Definitely go back for a drink or three. .

What a find - love the out of the way hole in the wall atmosphere.....old school neighborhood bar feel, very cool vibe. Both of us had the burger & beer - huge patty's! Service was great....food was fast! Great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

A truly classic Manhattan (early American) pub that originally opened its doors in 1892. The pub looks like it hasn't been updated since then, which makes it like, you're stepping back in time. So, the ambiance is really memorable! Also, the menu and beer list are decent. The staff is also quite cordial.

I really really like it here. I love the urinals! Foods always been good. Not a total ripoff in price. They also have an upstairs which seems to usually have space.

This is the quintessential NYC style pub bar and a nod to the past. They even have a manual cash register. You can pick up a pub style lunch whether it be a cheeseburger or a corned beef sandwich. Then there are the old style drinks - maybe on the rocks or maybe neat. The atmosphere is fun and the decor likely has not changed much since the 1930s and the patrons appreciate this.

Step back to the heyday when the 19th century bridge over to the 20th century. Swagger-in, find a seat, then look around. Black & White tile floors, well worn bar and stools, straight back green velvet booth bench seating, ornate stamped tin ceilings, original gas lamps converted to electric and, a fun variety of clientele and regulars. Truly the best grilled cheese, tomato and bacon sandwich, with fries ever experienced. Simple pleasurable tavern food. Beverages kept standard and made to order. Guys, if you need a potty please take note of the huge one of a kind urinals. On my visit, ice cubes appeared to be standard to assist with the fragile water supply. Shall I return? You bet ya!

What else is there to say ? They were already in business when my great grandparents arrived at Ellis island. They also make a killer Caesar salad & killer wings. NYC's ghosts are here - you can hear them if you come when it's not busy. Best of NYC for a reason - pure love !
