Editorial Review for McSwiggan's Bar – by Rebecca Braverman
In Short
In the not-quite-Gramercy-not-quite-Stuy-Town stretch that is Second Avenue just north of the East Village, a good drinking spot is hard to find. McSwiggan's, a low-key joint, wouldn't know a scene if it walked in. The crowd's a mix of odd locals and youngish post-college types. There are a couple of TV screens for the sports fans and friendly bartenders, as well as billiards and darts. What really seals the deal, though, are the nightly knock-you-off-your-feet drink specials.

It's a dive, but has pretty much anything you'd expect from a dive with a pool table, dart board, trivia and internet jukebox. Beers are pretty cheap (Coors Light are $4) and buybacks are frequent. There are about 5 tv's around the bar to watch games. Bathrooms are in decent shape. Draws a mix of 20 somethings to an older crowd that wants to unwind with a drink. Bar stools aren't in the best condition
Pros: Buybacks, Pool Table, Dartboard
Cons: Nothing major

This bar reminds me of the dive bar me and my mates would go to during college. The worst martini I've ever had. They had two female bartenders, it seems, just for the sake of having attractive girls to try to bring in customers. Watch out of the "regulars": the lonely old rummies that sit at the bar. We couldn't get out of there fast enough.
Pros: pool tables
