    There are only 2 kinds of beer: McSorley's Lite and McSorley's Dark, but they are both delicious!

    The worst bar in NYC. The beer is flavorless. The waiter couldn’t be any ruder, and to people who think this is funny, it’s not, at all.

    Don't ask for whiskey, not so sure about the food either. This place is for beer only. Great beer / atmosphere.

    Bartenders are ridiculous. Don't go and play cards or they'll ask you to leave cuz you're not drinking enough. And charged us extra.

    More like McSurly's...rude and unpersonable staff. Average beer, 5 bucks gets you two mugs...light or dark. Go once to say you've been there.
