Overview

By Chris Lukic

An Irish alehouse that feels older than its years, draws a crowd of expats and NYU students to indulge in their superb Guinness.

History

The Guinness still takes its time

Swift says it was established in 1995¹, but our listing found it an Irish alehouse that felt older than its years, with superb Guinness drawing expats and NYU students. It is still at 34 East 4th Street, where The Infatuation reviewed it in March 2026² and reported the Guinness taking 119.5 seconds to pull². It has had all the years since our listing to grow into the look.
