question--i am looking for a bar where i can play settlers of catan. where is somewhere
a) in manhattan (somewhere between, lets say houston and, like, 42nd st--trying to meet up w/ people from the ues and morningside heights; i live in bk)b) not really crowded or loud after workc) pretty cheapd) they wont care if we play a board game and have some beers (i imagine this is most bars but you never know)

You want Hell's Kitchen, then, probably? When I briefly dated someone over there, he drank almost exclusively at the Gaf and Conker Hill. I prefer the Gaf but it's a little short of tables, so prob Conker would be better cos it has a few booths. Plus, Max, it's on the West Side so it's good for you and the UWS people.
That's all I got at the mo....
― guys i need to eliminate this business associate and im really nervous (Laurel), Monday, 30 March 2009 17:12 (4 years ago) Permalink
ACTUALLY I take that back -- the Gaf has a whole basement full of tables, IF the construction/plumbing is done by now. Haven't been since December. You could call and ask if basement is open? That would make it perfect.
max i'm not sure if you have ppl to play w/already but monday nights there's a settlers night at a bar on the uws - cosi's.
maybe common ground i have no idea how inconvient thatll be tho

Althought elements of this expansion were available separately from 2004 to 2007, this pack did not release in English until 2008. It combines elements of fishing, events, expanded trading, barbarian attacks, camel trains, and much more to make a more well-rounded playing experience.

Washington Commons = Good. Great selection of beers on tap, more bottles coming soon according to the bartendress. Backyard is huge, still being put together, but huge. I drank an old speckled hen & some barleywine that was rich but delicious, can't remember the name. Prices are reasonable, happy hours 'til 8 during the week = -$2 off all beers.

also popped into the new bar "Manhattans" owned by Tracy of s1ber1a fame. Awful place. Bottles only, cigarette smoke, glasses & bottles from the night before still out everywhere, no atmosphere to speak of.

is this place open yet?
Der Schwarze Kölner Manchester, England, native and former Cologne resident Dale Hall, along with his girlfriend, Randi Lockemann, gives Fort Greene its first German beer garden. Eighteen Deutsch brews will be on tap, along with another 20 by the bottle. In keeping with Hall’s Cologne pedigree, three breweries from that city will represent. In addition to the beers, the space—which features communal tables indoors and both sidewalk and garden seating—will serve traditional foods. Cold items like wurst and cheese plates will be coming first, and hot dishes, including schnitzel and even more sausage, a couple months later. 710 Fulton St at South Oxford St, Fort Greene, Brooklyn (no phone yet)

went to the biergarten - was not feeling it - why beer gardens always got to have a fratty vibe - also strangely laid out and super loud - the service felt a lil inattentive and chaotic - it is new tho - would prob be fine on a slow afternoon to sit by the window - theyve got good beer

I went there recently. It's Irishy. Also there's liable to be music a lot of nights, since that place is "the home of Irish music in NYC." Which is a draw for me, but not for all.

like what streets in Midtown East? I'm at 44th around Grand Central and most everything around here blows. generic Irish bars with $8 pints. best one is probably O'Neill's at 45th and 3rd, decent happy hour. Perfect Pint around the corner on 45th is ok, multi-level with an open air roof bar, always mobbed though. those are my usual picks if I go out after work around here but like I said the prices are ridic. I'm hoping someone has a good answer for you actually.
there's also a relatively new german beer garden upstairs on 3rd Ave but I haven't tried it yet. Hofbrau Bierhaus.
