Profile

Because it was once marked only by a standard-issue illuminated Guinness sign, this East Village tavern is known simply as 11th Street Bar. The handsome brick-walled establishment doesn't hit you over the head with ostensible Paddy tradition. The place serves the full alcoholic complement, but really you come here to drink that chocolate-cake-in-a-pint-glass mentioned above. Surprisingly, weekend nights often find the back room less than crowded—making it easy for you and fifteen of your pals to have the run of the place for a birthday or some such. — Ron Kemp

What a fantastic atmosphere! (Unless youÃ¢â‚¬â„¢re an Arsenal fan of course.) Sunday morning the bar was stock full of ex-pats, American students and even a few children. Whether you were drinking orange juice or Guinness it was a great place to join in on the Football camaraderie.

Great place to watch English league footbal and have a pint.

This place is a great pub with a nice, subdued ambience. What decoration there is on the walls consists primarily of memorabilia for the English football (a.k.a. soccer) club Liverpool. This is a great place to watch a match, especially when Liverpool is playing. In the back room, for the big games they have a projector TV. There's a descent selection of English beers and the staff is friendly. While you wouldn't want to go here for a wild night of drinking, on the weekends there is enough of a crowd of both young and old to keep things lively.
