New York Bars

cheapest bar les/east village?

I mean it doesn't have to be the *single cheapest* that is probably dependent on a lot of factors but what place would be a bargain at 6 pm today? also would have seats.

blue and gold, international, cherry tavern, welcome to the johnson's

but i haven't been to any of those in a few years

mona's on ave B

where to go near fort greene? recently moved to lafayette & st. james

more interested in drinking with 'locals' than with pratt students

burger/wings a +

Those little ones on Avenue B. Yeah.

Monas or Music Box or that other one...there are multiple places with like $2 Budweisers during happy hour. Or whatever, but dirt cheap. Boxcar is 2-for-1 for HH.

h8 to break it to you bro but pratt students are "the locals"

in order of preference

• the alibi
• hot bird
• frankies (havent been in a while tho)
• fulton grand
• moe's (have only been once)

you should just come down to washington commons and drink with me, though

moe's closed, and then reopened as mo's
what's frankies?

or do you mean frank's?

yeah

"franks"

haha

^OK, I missed that

Are there any non-awful bars in midtown east? I just want something that isn't 100% divey/old-man but doesn't have that "Ooh, happy hour, let's get appletinis" vibe

does Kips Bay count? this place was Ok as of a few years ago.

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.

Hurting, 3rd Ave is chock-a-block with Irish bars?? Molly's is a good one.

xp dmr otm

yeah I don't mind Irish bars, it's the Midtown prices that blow

Yeah I guess Irish bars are ok. I'm near that Hofbrau Bierhaus, want to try.

ari works around grand central and theres nothing that weve ever been able to find

I'm in the low 50s on third. Every work happy hour I've ever gone to in this area has been in a miserable place.

just embrace your inner bro

I'm just saying, Molly's makes what is arguably the best cheeseburger in NY and it comes with a side of mashed potatoes.

molly's is also like 25 blocks from hurting's office tho.
but yeah it's great. they have good wings too.

hey guys guess who left his credit card at commonwealth and only remembered when he stepped out of the g at court sq

NNNOOOOOOOOO oh Iatee. You should have closed out your tab with me!

I very much agree with that statement

blauggghhhh

so yeah I went back, it ended up only being an hour of my life cause I got lucky w/ trains but the moment of realization was pretty horrible

:( whatta drag. at least you got it back asap and didnt' forget for like, two days or something.

i like that Hot Bird now has a bbq restaurant attached to it. that is v convenient, even if their fries are kinda wack.

do they make hot chicken?

no :(
but the pulled pork & brisket & sausages are all good.

they have BBQ chicken, i dont know if it qualifies as "hot"? its certainly warm

but yeah its decent BBQ and not too pricey and theyll take it over to you at hot bird if u tell em where youre seating

tbh now that they have food i dont know why id go to any other bar this summer

i see hanging out in our future.

real talk

wish hot bird opened earlier than 4, would like to just post up there every afternoon for 7-8 hrs and let ppl call on me

not a bar (but byob restaurant) but i love this place in y'alls neighborhood: http://www.uminom.com/

nice. never been but on their website they call it a sister restaurant to Kuma Inn in the LES, I'm a fan.

Hot Chicken is Nashville-style spicy fried chicken.

iirc peaches in bed stuy has hot chicken?

which i guess isn't what the sign that gives hot bird its name is talking about since it says no frying. i just want a place called hot bird to have it.
