The friendly bartender resembles Lisa from America's Next Top Model Season 5. Nice crowd, good priced drinks. Happy hour from 4-8 Mon.-Fri.

The friendly bartended we had was a guy, but now that you mention it he did resemble Lisa... :) Great place, not very crowded, and they play the music I like - mix of indie / alternative... Perfect place to relax and chat with a few friends. Would you go back - No brainer... Yes! Would you take a date? Yes? But please don't tell my wife! LOL

This is the best place in NYC to have a pint. No shamrocks is right. Bring a book or a friend. Just chill. And if the bartenders name is Brendan, ask to buy a copy of his record. You wont stop playing it. DCD NYC 2009

Some Hints:

  • The best reviews give a clear sense of why you liked or disliked a restaurant, bar, or store. And that means details. Mention specifics dishes, type of crowd, pros and cons...
  • If it's helpful to compare one place to another, go for it.
  • Come up with clever, funny, pithy subject lines, and write in the first person.
  • Don't forget to read the user rating guidelines and rules.
