In Short
One-time Tramps owner Terry Dunne returns to his Irish roots with this sleek yet casual homage to the homeland--but one that shuns all the trappings of the typical pub and creates a bar modeled after those of fashionable Dublin. A young Irish staff is on hand to pour pints of Guinness--which are left to settle for the requisite (and respectful) five minutes--but the boisterous weekend crowd is more likely to stick to vodka-sodas and SoCo lime shots. If the scene grows tiresome, there's another whole party in the swank basement lounge, Nexus, where dancing and mingling abound.
Hits: A friendly door policy means you and crew won't be interrogated, no matter the guy to girl ratio.
Misses: Get in line for the bathroom before you really have to go--by the time it's your turn, you will.

I have been to this place many, many times (my friends are regulars) and always thought it was fine until this past weekend. After letting all of my friends into the bar, the bouncer looked at my driver's license, deemed it was fake, and said he was confiscating it. I am 26 years old, I protested, and he treated me like I was a lying criminal. After threatening to call the police, he finally got his manager over who finally let me in the bar (after ten minutes of arguing to get the ID back). Rather than apologizing, the doorman gave me dirty looks and acted like he did me a favor. In the five years that I have been legal, I have never had my ID questioned. I have worked as a bartender in Manhattan for four years and have never seen such poor bar management/security EVER. The door man should be fired, he had no clue what he was doing and was on a total a power trip. I would have left in a heartbeat had my friend not been having his birthday there. I will not be back.

Whoever wrote a bad thing about this place is crazy. The only downfall is that the door is kinda strict. I had an amazing time here. The place filled up early and i was worried for my guests. You know how it is, friends come late, but these guys hooked it up. the door was slow, but all my guests got in...and the place wasn't too crazy. the atmosphere was relaxed, but super fun, and exciting!!! i really ended up having a blast. the dj's are great...and i am definitely booking my birthday party here!

Once I went there on a whim and I saw 2 Rodents run across the floor and never wanted to return...Then I was there last night b/c of a bday party and when I went to go in the bouncer tried to say I was using a fake ID...I am 29 years old, why would I use a fake? Then he got in my face and threatned me, so I called the cops and he gave me my ID back...Then he grabbed my friend for no reason and threw him in the street into oncoming cars...This guy should be put in jail and this place should be shut down. So if you want be threatned at the door by an African American with Gold Teeth for no apparent reason, then by all means go, but I say stay away and let this place die b/c it is doing nothing for the NYC community.
