Marshall Stack

In Short – It may be named after a tower of thundering guitar amps, but the wattage at this neighborhood watering hole comes in low with just a few dim lamps and an old-school jukebox. Pretty hipsters with steady jobs match the surroundings: shabby-chic paint-striped walls, white tin ceilings and a long, dark wood bar. But amid its refinery, this bar's got a rebellious streak--Zappa's playing in the background, and the best bottle in the house is the Guns N' Roses-immortalized wine swill, Night Train.

Editor's Tips

On the Menu:: Night Train not for you? There's a long wine list that comes with descriptions in true layman's terms. Notes under the Russian River pinot noir: "Vivacious, almost burlesque, while maintaining charm and class."
Happy Hour:: Pints of Guinness, Sixpoint, Radeberger and more are $4, everyday until 7pm.

best cuban sandwich and best argentine wine!!

by metro_gal

I never thought I would eat dinner at a bar ...but their food is glorious! the sloppy joes...the cheese, nut and fruit platter..and of course my favorite the cuban sandwich!! I even love the espresso! Matt, one of the partners that also serves, is so attentive and knowledgeable on wines and beers...and he has great taste in music. check it out, you will not be disappointed! I can't get enough! Yum!

Pros: service

Great place to chill

by starsalign4

This is a very nice bar. They only serve beer and wine but it is a great selection. Justin and Matthew are the nicest bartenders and they make everyone feel at home here. It is a great place if you want to leave behind the college type crowd at other bars and just want to sit and enjoy some beer and wine with some friends. The food is great too!

Pros: Ambience, beer and wine menu

I love this place!! Any menu that has BLUE BALS is OK by me!

by club5a

This is the best place in new york! Apart from Matthew being a total babe and sweetheart, the bar is downtown but out of the way and the tapas are phenomenal. I drag all of my girlfriends here and they love it. The menu is hilarious, the drink descriptions make me laugh, and the crows is hot.

Trust me, there are choice men here. And the women who flock here are stunning (my crowd especially!).

Pros: Hilarious menu descriptions, and good food
Cons: Sad when people only come for the cheap PBR, they should try the phonomenal wine selection

Great place to hang out, easy going, great crowd

by fieryprincess

I never reveiwed a place before but was so taken by this one, I felt it moved to write about it. I strolled in on Saturday night, just to check it out. The music was refreshing; a loving mix of old and new rock. The bar keeps were knowledgable and attentive. The crowd was friendly, grown up, and open. Over all, I loved it, and am looking forward to the next time I can stop in. They serve an excellent selection of wines. a diverse selection of beers, and light "bar food" that I didn't have a chance to check out.
