This bar's crackling fireplace, which is blessedly surrounded with leather seats, keeps the church-like space warm all winter. Bonus: the hot toddies here have healing powers. Read more

The East Village might have been overtaken by the city's fratastic overlords in recent years, but this 2nd Ave spot holds its own, serving up casual beers and cocktails in an elegant parlor space. Read more

Great buy one get one free happy hour. Food is incredible for a bar menu, try the Buffalo wings and quesadilla. Servers are warm and friendly and play the best music. You really can't go wrong here.

I do not know if I would call this place elegant but the chill vibe is unmistakeable. A 2-4-1 happy hour and will offer fresh pressed juice mixers when possible. Cozy fireplace make this a must.

Awesome grown up bar with a 2-4-1 happy hour until 8pm. Make your way to the back and you’ll discover a working fireplace and a comfy couch area.

Great bar for both summer and winter, if you get here before the crowds you can have a fireplace or outdoor spot!
DebSeptember 21, 2016
Nice happy hour deal! Monday through Friday buy 1 get 1 till 8pm

Classic too-narrow NYC bar, can get super crowded on weekends but if you snag a chair by the fire or come by on a weeknight can be quite pleasant
Raphael LangenscheidtSeptember 13, 2015
College-y vibe with drink specials. Gets pretty crowded, especially in winter due to their amazing fireplace.
Afi Yellow-DukeJuly 21, 2015
Great outdoor spot, but inside is def where it's at… excited to snuggle up in here this winter! The bartender was very helpful. Good + decently priced beer selection.

Drinks by the Fireplace: "Hot toddies, mulled cider... you can absolutely find a good excuse to pull up a chair by the fireplace at this pleasantly dim and cozy bar." Read more

It's rare that a bar's most affordable beer is a craft ale made by the bar's owner. Come during happy hour and this $6 glass will earn you a wooden token, good for a free beer of your choosing.
CassidyDecember 18, 2014
decent cocktail list and snacks but perpetually too crowded. try to sneak away for an early afternoon and sit by the fire, pretending you're in a fancy castle and out of the city.

Cozy bar w fireplace and great 2 for 1 happy hour ... They allow dogs too! Shoolbred house draft is awesome
Erik MygrantNovember 12, 2014
Fantastic interior. Despite the fantastic drink deals, this place is worth a stop just for the decor. Bring your dog.

Didn't try the food but the atmosphere was pretty great. I love that they use there fireplace. Great place to go on a snowy evening.

I am not a rich or dangerous man. But if I were, I'd sit in the plush, red nook of this Scottish bar, past the portraits of kilted Scots in wartime victory. Try the grapefruit and vodka hand squeezed.
Andrew FurmanSeptember 21, 2016
Awesome happy hour. 2 for 1 beers and well drinks till 8pm. Also, great seating in the back.
Nick AndlingerFebruary 23, 2017

Seems like a bro bar from the sign out front but it's quite cozy by the fire. Order a hot toddy, sit back and chill. Still kinda broey but whatevs.
Gigi AgiusDecember 3, 2014
Great place to come for a drink in winter especially when you can score the seats by the fire.

Nothing beats a Tuesday night here, when you just want a beer and some peaceful conversation. also ask the bartender for the free spicy potato chips... amazing.

If you are here in the winter, get their signature hot toddy. Made with green tea, chivas, and orange juice - it warms you instantly, even if you can't get a chair by the fireplace.

Legendary spot. Good for friends, dates, light fare, meetings, or whatever else you feel like doing.

Stake out a leather armchair on the weekends: From 4 to 8pm daily, well drinks and beers (including the $6 house ale) come with a wood coin that can be cashed in for another drink. Read more
