Editorial Review for O'Connor's – by Citysearch Staff
The Scene
This is not your father's bar--this is your grandfather's bar. Heck, it might even have been your great-grandfather's bar. But peer across the darkened, chip-tiled and tin-ceilinged room: That cute hipster in the high-backed booth is certainly not your great-grandmother, nor is her shag-haired companion in slim corduroys any kind of senior citizen. Order yourself a nicely pulled pint (it'll make up for the bar's scanty measured shots), sit back and observe low-key pickups among Brooklyn's subtly stylish.
The Draw
That chunk of change you got back back from your five-dollar bill will fit nicely in the jukebox, which stocks Buzzcocks, Merle Haggard and Dean Martin along with indie-rock bands of the moment. It's a diverse and convivial clientele who've made O'Connor's their home, especially on weeknights, when only the ample outer-borough cockroaches will fight you for your barstool.

Classic old man's bar although the clientele was fairly young, mainly men watching the baseball games. Prices are cheap, $3.00 for domestic bottles. Jukebox is a mix of older country, bluegrass and 60's pop. There are 2 tv's, on each end of the bar. Not much else to do here but drink and watch the world go by. Not many bars like this left.

I've beencoming her for years, with different guys and girls. The excelellent bartender knows how to be discreet, if y'know what I mean, and always remembers my drink. The guys are cute here, and the girls are real-and whether I'm dressed like a hoochie mama or in my gym clothes- nobody makes me feel uncomfortable.
Pros: great bartenders, cheap, comfortable
Cons: you'll never leave!, bathrooms
