Awesome bar staff who know what they're doing. They started happy hour at St. Marks Pl. with $4 drafts and $7 cocktails on weekdays till 8 and weekend till 5. Best place to sit outside in the area!

A no-frills bar on a busy stretch of St.Marks, Bua has some of the best outdoor booths in the city. The drinks are basic but strong and it's easy to pass a entire night - or day - here.

One of my favorite places for a Sunday beer. Really chill spot, best seat is outside.Their happy hour from 1:00 - 5:00 PM on the weekend makes it an easy choice for day drinking.

Great late night food and drinks. I’ve tried the grilled cheese, fish tacos, and Bua burger. All of them were better than I expected from a bar at 11pm.

First date spot for a reason. Generally buzzy and fun in here. Drinks are good and it's a solid bar option on St. Marks with outdoor tables.

Great happy hour (beer & cocktails) spot when the weather is nice - enjoy the outdoor seating, fried pickles, and the delicious fried chicken sandwich

Burger is on the small side, fried chicken sandwich on the large side. Both are equally tasty, so consider your appetite. What the kale salad lacks in healthiness it makes up for in flavor.

Before Bua, this spot was Sin-e on St. Mark's. It was an Irish café where I saw Jeff Buckley play, while Jeff was dating my ex-girlfriend Janet. #PorcelainTheBook Read more

Our friendly neighborhood bar - home away from home! Awesomely sweet bartender, best grilled cheese sandwich and cool outdoor space. Order a red lemonade and people watch.

Textbook east village. Get a solid $10 cocktail, sit at an outside table and watch the village go by.

Caipirinhas or the spicy margarita. The fried chicken sandwich is out of this world. The outdoor seating is perfect for people watching.

Bua introduced me to the Modelo with hot sauce and salted rim. Grab a can and sit outside on the best street for people watching in the EV

Grilled Cheese is amazing and the Red Lemonade is refreshing (I don't care how fruity it is). Also, I found ten bucks on the ground once. Probably won't happen to you, just saying keep an eye out.

Grab a pint and sit at one of the tables outside. Now, get another pint. Repeat for the rest of the day.

As a southern girl I can say with confidence that Bua's fried chicken sandwich is one of the best I've ever tasted.

They pour drinks with a heavy hand. Get one of their awesome sandwiches to go with your perfectly poured Guinness.

Cool East Village bar with limited but prime outdoor seating. Solid date spot too

Come late night when it's not as crowded.
LauraSeptember 8, 2012
The happy hour fresh lemonade w/ cranberry is perfect for a muggy afternoon. No AC in here, so you have to cool off somehow!
