That Old GUY is the Worst! – There's this guy who is always there, adn he serves you handfulls of drinks whether or not you want them, and with a bad attitude. My friends and I got into a fight with him. This place sucks to bring girls to esp. Fun if you go with some buds, and don't expect to bring home any tail...unless your idea of tail is 20-80 year old rowdy drunk guys.
Old school. – This is a NY landmark. This place was opened back in late 1800. When you walk in you feel like you are either inside of antiqe store or if you have traveled in time. Beer is great, prices are even better. Be careful with their mustard - it is extremely hot! Go there at around 5-6pm. There are tourists, students, stock brokers, workers, you name it! Everyone loves this place. Don't bring your girlfriend here if you are on a romantic date though. It is not that kind of place.
McSorley's Ale House – My Friends and I will frequently go all the way into the City to visit McSorley's from Bristol, CT. We enjoy the atmosphere and the Ale very much. Last time we were there, we met 4 or 5 people from New Jersey and have some great pictures to prove the absolutely outrageous time we had. We will be visiting again shortly. WE LOVE YOU MCSORLEY'S!!!
Ain't a dive – McSorley's is historical landmark -- not a dive, too many students, psuedointellectuals and tourists to be a dive. Not to mention, it's an Ale House, they don't serve cheap whiskey. Dives don't have pot bellied stoves.
Dude, it's like...WOW – Each visit to this establishment has always left us with fond memories. I reckon the wait outside is worth it. Strangers are very welcome here (the stranger the better) The crackers and mustard are awesome. Very interesting place to early party on a Sat. or Sun. afternoon.
fun for boys and girls – great place to start a night on the town. 20-40 somethings drinking fantastic beer in a boisterious environment. only place a girl can go and get a standing ovation for simply breathing. it gets crowded, but it's always fun.
Ladies: Meet Sailors! – Nothing beats McSorely's during Fleet Week. Ladies, grab 10 of your girlfriends, order some beers, and just start asking those sailors where they're from. By the end of the night, you'll have sat on 17 laps and you'll feel like a million bucks.
A real "Gangs of NY" site – Hey, please don't go here - it means I'll have to stand in line longer. This place is great, authentic, and raucous if you're there with a bunch of firefighters, as we were the day we arrived. The beer is good, and good value (I didn't say great). It gets better the more you drink (though I don't drink any more {nor any less}).
Cheers – A one word explanation for a home town bar that can only truely be described as true Americana at its best!
