Red Sox!

by BigNad982 at Citysearch

Love the bar. I've been here probably a hundred times to watch the Sox whoop the Yankees!

Cold beer. Good bartenders. Great local pub where you can knock back a few beers with some Sox fans.

• Pros: Great Sox Bar - Good bartenders
• Cons: Menu - You need to stick to the Basics

My husband went to the city to spend the day and ended up in the Village where we decided to try someplace new to eat. I definitely wish that we would have tried a different place (a lot of this to do with the service). We were promptly seated outside with great people watching views.. It definitely felt cool at first. Our waiter was COMPLETELY clueless. I wish I could have gotten his name to put on here but he's young (about mid 20s with blond hair). He had a nice attitude but he definitely must have only had about an hour of experience. We literally had to find him for EVERYTHING, including having us waiting for what seemed forever to get our bill and then to pay our bill. Very, very frustrating. The nachos weren't bad, yes.. it is Cheez Whiz which was surprising but I like Cheez Whiz so... the frozen margaritas were good... the sandwich was good, the turkey could have been a better quality, though. I mean with 2 drinks, appetizer, and sandwiches.. we paid $50 (a steal in NYC), which made me not feel too bad about the service (you get what you pay for).

• Pros: Nice ambience outside at night.
• Cons: Service!!

Great surroundings..im a waiter on staten island so im sure the ppl below me just went on an off day but the nachos were awesome ..loaded with fresh veggies cheese and black beans went well with there unsweet tea.Everytime I go there though I always get some waiter whos english is horrible!! So i can understand why ppl think the service is horrible bc the waiters dont even understand what you want lol.I definately reccomend going very fun to chill outside during the summer.

And to the lady who wanted flourless cake..please give it up..No one wants to deal with a pain in the butt at work ..who the frigg cares, you shouldnt order anything remotely containing flour if your that badly allergic.

• Pros: Great nachos go the extra few bucks and add Chix/Avacados..
• Cons: Servers where straight off the boat from god knows where..
