Editorial Review for Ulysses' – by Paul Adams
The Scene
Labyrinthine and dim, the interior of Irish-themed Ulysses is wrought in stone, metal and dark wood. One room contains the extensive bar, and another is given over to imposing tables, some elevated on stages. The interior churns with Irish pub-rock and dance hits, while the harried waitstaff caters to business-casual after-workers. Outside, on cobbled Stone Street, is a popular alfresco dining-and-drinking area.
The Draw
Come to Ulysses' for the wealth of beers on tap, including Boddington's, Chimay, Guinness and, naturally, Stella and Budweiser. The food here doesn't rise far above standard pub fare: Burgers, mashed potatoes and fried things are staples. The fish and chips, for example, are perfectly serviceable; likewise the light, amber onion rings. But a pan-roasted steak is slim and charred to toughness.

There is no better place to go for a drink after work if you are around Wall St. The summer is especially nice when Ulysses sets up table so that you can drink al fresco. The combination of good beers (chamay, Leff alongside Guiness, etc), good crowd (young wall st. types) and great outdoor atmosphere make this the perfect place to catch a drink. Waitresses/waiters are especially efficient and friendly. Warning, if you don't work in fianance you might be scared by all the suits. Or if you're looking to land that Wall St. Bigwig, this is the perfect place.

I am writing this review after being at ulysses' on a crazy thursday night....I have been in the bar industry before, so I am a pretty understanding customer. But tonight I was absolutly amazed at the crew that works there, I have never seen so many people work so hard and care about their customers getting drinks and food even though they were slammed. My waitress had a huge section and was able to make rounds to see us and still hang out with other regulars. I am actually more shocked at the rude customers that go there, I saw a customer at the next table who attacked the waitress and then cursed her out after she had apologized and he stuck in his middle finger out because he was frustrated his beers didn't come out. And she later on she was upset over the situation. Every one of her tables all said she did a great job and all wanted to by her a shot. When I asked her how do you do it here and she said she was in the same section all day long since the lunch and they were short 2 of their staff members. For someone who was working all day I'm shocked she could be happy and keep her tables happy. Great Job All Around. And all who think I'm crazy for writing a good review about a busy thursday night, you should all work in the bar industry once in your life because you wouldn't be able to handle what these guys do. Great job Keep Up The work!!!
