On a Sunday afternoon when you will find most sports bars packed with rowdy football or baseball enthusiasts drinking half-price pitchers of Bud, this gritty Irish tavern on Park Avenue South provides a gentler, more continental contrast. “The cheapest bar on Park Avenue” according to the appropriately brogued bartender also broadcasts sports, but of the Anglo-centric kind. Watch international competitive golf, English Premier League soccer, or the weekly Monday night videotaped roundup of Irish sporting events with a crowd that is more mature than your garden-variety yuppie sports fan. Nurse a draft beer—an “imperial” pint, meaning twenty ounces to our sixteen—for $4.50-$5.50, from selections like Guinness and Bass, or choose from one of several Irish whiskeys, including the ultra authentic Tullamore Dew, Jameson 1800, and Bushmill 16-, 12-, or 10-year (upward of $4 a shot). — Gabriella Gershenson
