History

The bar crawl's epicenter, relocated

St. Dymphna's was the epicenter of every St. Mark's bar crawl, Gothamist said in 2016¹. We'd made the case on gentler grounds: a perfect pint of Guinness, a backyard garden and efficient, friendly service.

It had been serving the East Village since 1994², and after 24 years in the neighborhood it moved from 118 St. Mark's Place to 117 Avenue A^{3, 4}.

That's where it is now². Romeo's has the old St. Marks Place address⁵.
