Spoon UniversityOctober 20, 2016Legend says that renowned poet Dylan Thomas spent his final night drinking here. Workers claim that they’ve seen a mug of beer and a shot of whiskey just show up on what was Thomas’s table. Read more
The best bar in the area, possibly in town. Excellent prices, great regulars, and Tommy and Angela are a delight every time. My home away from home.
TenantKing.comJuly 25, 2014Although on Fridays this place can get a little too crowded, any other day this is a great place to grab a bite and some drinks with friends. Also the 3$ Yuenglings are a steal!
All day happy hour and cheap drinks. The food is you standard bar food - sandwiches and burgers with a special or two thrown in - but it's a good value for what you get.
The Corcoran GroupFebruary 17, 2012A wonderfully dark and divey bar where the drinks are cheap, the bartenders are friendly and the patrons are suitably subdued.- Carlos ValleFebruary 26, 2015This place is simple - on purpose. Cheap pints or nicer bottles if you want them. It's an older crowd which makes it relatively quiet!
Standard beer on tap but a number of craft beers in bottles/cans including Dogfish Head, and locals: Blue Point, Six Point, Brooklyn, and Bronx Pale Ale.
John PaterakisSeptember 1, 2015Well known to old Wall Street hands. A good place to avoid the lunch crowds. Good food without the ridiculous expense-account prices.
Untapped CitiesNovember 8, 2014The “Kerouac, go home!” that once decorated this tavern’s bathroom walls was a testament to how much the Desolation Angels author frequented the place. Read more
Emily KolodnerMarch 2, 2015can't complain when a beer costs less than $5 in nyc. surprisingly, the turkey club was actually pretty delicious.
Kerryn UngerOctober 13, 2017Cheap drinks, simple food, and a real pub atmosphere. Don't expect to be treated like you are special, that's the whole point.- A bar like any other, only more so. Best bet for cheap beer in the neighborhood. Bar food ain't bad either.
Zach RiisFebruary 19, 2021$5 pbr and a shot. Dont forget to get a burger and see when Tommy is working.
Blink2HappyDaysMay 27, 2023Affordable food, the place was full when I went during lunch time. It’s kind of small.
See Loraine or Tom before 5pm. See Angela on the 2nd floor after. Best bar service!!
SatishDecember 16, 2012This is where Dylan Thomas drank himself to death, Anais Nin and Seymour Krim talked shop, and where someone once scrawled "Go home, Kerouac!" on the bathroom wall.
Cheapest Guiness in NY. Old school with an awesome staff.
Martha Miss IvySeptember 14, 2012they definitely water down their liquor. I know my makers mark from anywhere. get a beer
Angela upstairs is amazing. Everyone here is awesome. I work around the corner and am here often ;-)
Aarthi D.August 10, 2013Kind of a dive? But the harried bartender gave us good service in spite of the sudden demand. Narrow and not that deep. If you have a group, I suggest going elsewhere.
Roast beef, heated, with cheddar on a roll with gravy on the side. Dip it. Delicious. Wash it down with Bud Light - superior drinkability.

"Well balanced and varied lunch menu. A wonderful smorgasbord of beer to choose from as well. The quaintness of the financial district and the small and narrow streets add to ambiance as well."
