When Villagers feel the need to recapture their collegiate roots, this raucous bar serves up the compulsory brews along with all the other pub-meets-sports-bar accoutrements: a friendly bouncer, flat screen plasma televisions positioned at every possible angle, neon beer signs, and a PGA Golf Challenge video game. The only things missing are Buffalo wings and nachos, which might explain why the patrons gets so boisterous when the Jägermeister shot dispenser starts working its magic and waves of fanatical noise ebb and flow in sync with the sports action on the TV screens. Yankees fans take note: The West Village’s many BoSox fans have been known to pahk at the bar. — Tim O’Keefe
