You’re not here for fusion food, pal. Get the herring plate, a Carling and a shot of aquavit. Some sweetbreads to follow, a piece of char. Skohl!

Sit upstairs in the corner and look out over 2nd St & Ave A. One of the best seats in NYC to have a drink. Hint: don't try this one weekend.
Great Iberian wine selection, a kickin' tapas menu and excellent service make this one of my favorite "after work" spots. -Jacqueline Lombard, Top Chef
Intimate and romantic. A perfect date spot. The cute chef and amazing small plates aren't bad either. -Jacqueline Lombard, Top Chef
good Korean fried chicken in a cool space; A wall of vinyl records, and a DJ playing those.
Aside from the amazing backyard space in the summer and the reasonable drinks, the best part of this bar is the local musical talent that performs here.
