not worth it

by faqmaqfaq

pretty awesome bar at first, I'm a Sox fan so I love a Sox bar in the middle of Manhattan. But the bartenders were really rude when I tried to get my tab. I asked to get my tab, and someone at the bar was whistling (someone whistling at a crowded bar? Must've been me), so they assumed it was me and were really rude and refused to give me my tab for about 20 minutes. They insulted pretty much every one I was with at one point or another. Wow. Just came for a few beers. A-holes.

I would steer clear if I were you, never know when they're gonna turn on you.

great bar!

If your looking for a friendly sports bar..this is it...lots of TVs, true pints, and the best staff in all of NYC..Me and my girlfriend stopped in because it was a Sox bar ( Go Sox!)..Sat down for a beer, and soon enough we met Katie..a Yankee fan.......(in a Sox bar...I know)..but she was awesome, fun and probably the nicest bartender I have met in the past 5yrs in NY..alongside her was Jared (a true irishman..who could give it back good as he could take it) It was such a good spot we went from a pre dinner drink...to canceling our plans and calling our friends in for good old fashioned night of drinking

Number 1 Red Sox Bar In NY

by newlocal

Having recently moved to New York, I set about finding the perfect local bar to watch my beloved Red Sox and accidently stumbled on The Hairy Monk. From the minute I walked in I knew this was my home away from home, the staff were so friendly and accommodating from the daystaff to the lads at nightime( new guy Gerald rocks!!!). As if things couldn't better the food was great, the beer always flowing and the atmosphere always friendly. Come and experience the true meaning of "the neighborhood sports bar" and you will be coming back for more and more.
