Editorial Review for The Parlour – by Leah Hochbaum
The Scene
With its exposed brick walls, multiple televisions and ultra-dim lighting, the Parlour is just like every other Irish pub on the Upper West Side save for one thing, its spaciousness. The beer joint, which boasts two bars, a downstairs dance floor, and a separate dining room, is a welcome respite for city folk accustomed to overstuffed spaces--this is the rare bar where you can breathe.
The Draw
Twenty-something preppie types come here to chow down on typical Irish fare, such as shepherd's pie and homemade beef stew, before heading off to the dance floor where a soundtrack of '80s and '90s rock mingles with modern Top 40 singles. Those who don't dance can wait for the one pool table to open up, but it might be wiser to give up and order one of the bar's 10 beers on tap, including Stella Artois, Guinness and Bass.

It's a "warm" place (I mean the beer is warm), the fries are cold, but the english waiter is a case...someone needs to calm this guy down...he gets upset every time you ask something and role his eyes on you.... You wouldn't see me there in the next 15-60 years.... Ohhh, all of a sudden Duane Reade looks like heaven Haaaa?
Pros: Upper west side
Cons: the rest

Went with friends and even some parents around and had a great karoake and beer night! Highly recommended to go for a fun night dressed up, dressed down and sing the night away (bad voices welcome) in an unprententious bar!
Pros: good bartenders
