    Came in after a concert on a Thursday night searching for food late and this spot was it. Literally thank god it existed where it did because it was functional for my friend and I to get home from there and they still served food til 1130. Staff were nice and quick! Friend got a happy waitress and I got a chicken club. We could have probably eaten anywhere and been fine but we lucked out and had yummy diner/pub style food and a drink. They ain't lyin about their potato salad, it slaps. Will def keep this in mind when I need a quick casual spot for food again. (Ps this place is very old it was almost spooky going upstairs to use the bathroom, & they used a dumb waiter to send the food from the kitchen downstairs-- very cool)

    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.

    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. .
