Paddy Reilly's Music Bar on Second Avenue and 29th Street - I love the music (this neighborhood has dozens of Irish pubs)

Baggot Inn - 3rd Street near Sullivan - good music - sometimes they have poetry readings

I have a friend who loves beer (I drink "girly" drinks - no beer for me); she likes Burp Castle - says they have a great selection - This place is very loud and looks like a medieval castle. I was intrigued when I a saw a monk smoking grass outside - it turns out he isn't a monk - the habit is the staff costume. It's an interesting place - also on the same block is McSorley's - East 7th Street and Third Avenue.

Answer 2

McSorley's in the East Village at 15 East 7th Street. That pub has been there for over 150 years. It has originally signed photographs of Babe Ruth and other star NY athletes. I was in there last years ago. What I remembered most was the carved up tables with people's initials in the wood.

Answer 3

Lenihan's. On the corner of Atlantic Ave and Lefferts in Richmond Hill. Wings night every Tues. Most of the bartenders are the real deal too with roots in Ireland.

Answer 4

I agree with the person who said Paddy Reilly's. Have fond memories of seeing the band Black 47 there (and met Matt Dillon there too) Cheers!
