Best bar ever, with conditions... – that musty smell is teh 150 year old wishbones hanging voer hte old gaslight on the bar put there by old mcsorley himself. One of my favorite bars in NY. Reeking with histry. THis bar was around for 40 years when "Gangs ofd New York" happened.. But its ONLY the best palce to go ITs NOT a friday adn saturday night (too crowed and touristy). Go on a weekday night or weekend afternoon. ANd no, its not "cheap". its 3.50 for 2 (used to be 3..) but the two are 7 ounce glasses with an inch of foa... read more
a must visit – I love McSorley's. Been going since before they allowd women. The cats, the stove in the winter and all the great people you meet. It's always a laugh when you see a first time women walk right into the men's room. Great place to spend several hours of dark beer and food.
Good once in a while – McSorley's is a lower east side landmark, and a good place to visit twice. Once at its most crowded for a raucous drinking scene and the novelty of the two-fisted portions. Once on a slow afternoon to take in the pictures on the walls and the old-style environment (and in my case have a chat with fellow Irish immigrants in the form of the waiters). It's got unique history, atmosphere and decor (and great mustard!) but repeat patronage can make the frat-boy scene, mostly-foam drinks, lousy bathrooms and... read more
Former old boys' club and still-popular pub dating from the 19th century. – One of the oldest bars in this fair city, McSorley's opened its doors in 1854--but women weren't allowed in until the 1970s. Today, this East Village institution still has sawdust on the floor, over 150 years of history on the walls and only two kinds of beer: McSorley's Light and McSorley's Dark. The crowd tends toward undergrads and post-collegiates looking to schmooze over brews in a laidback neighborhood bar that, over the years, has played host ... read more
Loud and Rowdy! The Best. – I absolutely LOVE McSorleys... And I'm a girl. We took a big crew of friends and had a total blast! Some things to know about McSorleys... #1, you won't get anything out of the waiters unless you tip them 20%. The old Irish waiters will just laugh in your face and take away all of your beer if you don't give them 20%. It is totally worth it. Besides, the beers are so freakin' cheap, the extra amount you have to pay in tips is nothing... #2, if there are no tables left when you get there, slip one ... read more
Home Sweet home! – My father would drink here in the fifties and sixties. I started in the late eighties. Cheese and mustard are tops. When you order your beer remember LIGHT and DARK. Those are the choices. Go early and stay late. My girlfriend and I went there one early Saturday afternoon in April 1998 early on in our relationship before meeting friends for dinner. Our friends met us for dinner at McSorley's and we stumbled out of there broke and drunk. At that point I knew I would marry that woman.
Don't leave this earth till... – Don't leave this earth until you make a visit to McSorley's. Great ale, staff and customers colorful to say the least. Go during the week early and you may be able to get a table. Otherwise you will be standing.
Great Place, but beware – Beware if you expect something trendy. This is a true pub in every sense. Sawdust on the floor, cats running around, no music (unless you start a song), two types of beer, light and dark...both served at slightly below room temperature. This is a drinking man's pub, not may girls frequent this place. So it's not as pickup joint and don't go on a weekend night..it's a tourist nigthmare. The food is simple and delicious. But don't be fooled by people saying the beers are cheap. They are 7 ounce glasse... read more
Laid back and very fun – Came here early on a weekend and ended up staying until closing. The trick is not to sit down and that way after 10 half pints you wont be spinning cirlces. A great place to hang with a bunch of friends and be loud, play cards, chat. The ratio of men to women are in the ladies favor - mixed from business casual to laid back local.
