About

A rare place that gets both the pub and the cocktail bar right, this Lower Manhattan favorite brings Irish hospitality to a polished New York setting. The room has real character, with Irish art, strong whiskey choices, and the kind of lively atmosphere that works for both a quick pint and a longer evening. Cocktails are a serious draw, but the bar is especially known for its Irish Coffee, which has become a signature for good reason. What makes it worth visiting is the balance of warmth, craft, and confidence that feels natural rather than staged.

Michter’s Bourbon, Bowmore 12 yr Scotch, Burnt Marshmallow Vermouth, Graham Cracker Select Aperitivo, Cacao, Pine

Kids can’t drink cocktails - but they also don’t have to work, pay bills, or face a never-ending to-do list. Remember when life was about playing outside, getting mucky, and running wild with your pals? We do. Here, we’re looking to the nostalgia of gathering round a bonfire: toasted marshmallows, melted chocolate, sticky fingers, and smoky air. Still, life’s better with whisky, right?
