Closed; now East End Bar & Grill
An honest to god Irish pub in the land of sparkling shamrock cutouts. There's over 30 beers on tap, a proper Irish breakfast on the menu, and every international footie match on the TV.

Fairly standard Upper East side Irish Pub. Sports, bar food, backwards baseball caps, the steady glow of plasma TVs. Decent pint of Guinness.

It's a good idea to down a few of the giant margaritas at this tex-mex restaurant and bar before making your way to the food.

There's gay porn on the TV, Go-Go boys, and the walls are bedecked in metal fencing. We recommend it as an ideal place to form beautiful, lasting relationships - particularly after 2am in the downstairs lounge.

Attempting to be simultaneously a sports bar and lounge space is naturally going to involve some compromises. The TVs and noise level distract from conversation, the 30 bottle wine list and potted plants make for an odd place to catch the game. However, the extremely small segment of the population that loves a good wine with the Laker's game this place is your best bet in New York.

Who would have guesses that a bar named for a conversation on the merits of blondes vis-à-vis read heads and brunettes would attract a bud drinking backward baseball cap crowd?

An oasis among the cookie cutter bars of the UES, The Auction House is warm, cozy and laid-back. It makes a great place to take a date, or just have a relaxed pint without annoyance of TVs and frat boys exchanging high-fives after every round of shots.

A long and narrow Red Sox sports bar. There's beer pong in the back. And you're looking at .25 beers for happy hour.
