What People Are Saying About The Sixth Ward

The Owner

The Sixth Ward

Owner

The Sixth Ward, also known as the Whiskey Ward, for the abundance of saloons it held, was located in Lower Manhattan. Due to the poverty and squalor of the tenements in which the people lived, the saloon became the focal point of social activity for 19th century New Yorkers. The saloon keepers of the Sixth Ward were predominately Irish, and many enjoyed great prominence within their communities. We offer a wide array of appetizers and entree's. If snagging a seat on the 1,500-square-foot all-season patio proves tricky, grab a spot inside at the 33-foot solid-oak bar, where Anglocentric snacks like shepherd?s pie and fish-and-chips are on offer. We also show all major sporting events on a flat screen TV's

In Short
A would-be respite for Irishmen, locals, and all-around boozers, this Orchard Street bar seems slightly unsure of its own identity: Is it a traditional Irish pub? An upscale dive? A divey lounge? The space itself is flanked by plush banquettes opposite a long bar with a pool room and garden in back, but the lean crowd tends to gravitate toward the front, causing most of the main room to feel empty. But with around 25 different beers and a large selection of whiskeys, if drinking undisturbed is your only objective, carry on.

Hits: There's no DJ, but a mix of mostly rock and pop makes a good soundtrack for a night of drinking.

Misses: Although many of the young hipsters that rule the neighborhood may be suffering from identity crises of their own, most prefer to do their drinking at a place that isn't.

Happy hour was only til 6 on a Friday which kinda stinks, compared to others in the area, but overall, i will probably be returning!
