Gideon OlshanskyMarch 14, 2016Don't order anything that isn't light or dark beer. Seriously. Don't try.
Bucky BuchananDecember 10, 2010An outstanding place when you just wanta drink beer in an olde time NYC tavern.
Dan TaylorJanuary 10, 2010There are only 2 kinds of beer: McSorley's Lite and McSorley's Dark, but they are both delicious!
Go to McSorley's and order a round of darks and some crackers and cheese. Tell Brendan that Morgan says hello!- Mark LoCastroMarch 4, 2010Soo much fun. Last time I was there, my friends and I racked up a $350 bill. Awesome!

Eduardo NevesNovember 22, 2015The 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.
Jacob CassMarch 14, 2010Don't ask for whiskey, not so sure about the food either. This place is for beer only. Great beer / atmosphere.
Jak HornerSeptember 7, 2013Bartenders 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.
- Mark LoCastroFebruary 23, 2010Go to McSorley's to drink beers (light or dark) and chat with friends & strangers.
Been drinkin there since I was 17 and will continue till an hour after I'm dead.
Matt GenoveseFebruary 20, 2010Start w four lights and as soon as you slow up you'll be told "you've had your fill!"
It's like Applebees if the stuff on the walls was meaningful.
Kelly HartillAugust 20, 2010Dark or light it doesn't matter you'll be staggering home any which way...
Jack SJanuary 4, 2012More 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.

"Cheap craft beers, excellent original cocktails (and mainstream favorites!) and cheap good food. Only real downside? They're CASH ONLY. They do have an ATM in the back though #eyeroll"

"Fantastic tap selection, always something new to try. Best place to have an actual chat with someone, especially in this area."

"Long wood tables and outdoor seating make Ulysses an excellent after-work spot come summer, and offers cozy candlelit indoor space in the winter."
