What makes it special: Classic pub happy hour energy without the scene tax.
Who should go: Friends who want pints
When to visit: Weekday after work

Insider tip: Aim for earlier HH—later gets louder and tighter.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; metered and competitive after 6pm. Garages available a few blocks away but expect NYC garage rates.
Dress code: Very casual—jeans, sneakers, work clothes all fit right in.
Noise level: Moderate early, loud later—easy conversation before peak hours, tougher once the after-work crowd stacks up.
Weekend wait: 20–40 minutes during peak sports or late evening hours
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited but workable—fries, salads, and a couple of basic pub-friendly options.
Vegan options: Very limited—mostly sides; not a strong vegan destination.
Gluten-free options: Limited—some naturally gluten-free items, but no dedicated prep or clear GF menu.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better as a casual meetup than a romantic first date—great for low-pressure drinks, less ideal if you want intimacy or polish.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—walk-ins are the norm. Go earlier for the easiest seating, especially if you want a table instead of standing room.
Is it kid-friendly? Earlier in the day, yes—standard pub environment. Evenings skew adult and sports-focused, so not ideal late with kids.
Best For
Better for: Cheap pints, easy group meetups, and unfussy happy-hour hangs where everyone can drop in without planning.
Skip if: You want craft cocktails, quiet conversation, or dietary-flexible menus—there are calmer, more polished options nearby.
