The rowdy M.J. Armstrong’s attracts a college-age crowd with the lure of $20 open-bar nights, Tuesday-night trivia, and seventeen screens plastered with various local, national, and collegiate sporting events. Lodged on an otherwise quiet corner of First Avenue just across from Stuy Town, M.J.’s features a long bar on its main floor and a spacious seating area good for large groups. The basement holds another bar and an open area that threatens to become an impromptu dance floor at a moment’s notice. — Sally Holmes
