One of the best bars on Second Avenue

by vhurtado

Living on the Upper East Side has its privileges. One of them is being close to an outstanding bar/restaurant that is staffed by pros. I've enjoyed my experiences as a regular to this establishment since February. Super waitresses Marianna, Irina, Daria, and Claire are friendly and highly efficient at their craft delivering great beer, drinks, mouth-watering burger platters, spicy buffalo wings and other delicious treats to your table. Kelsey and Julia, two of the most capable AND pretty bartenders there, are also amiable and deliver the goods before you with a genuine smile. You will find very little reason NOT to leave them overly-generous tips!!

Besides the great food and alcohol, there are tube and flat panel TVs positioned everywhere inside the bar to satisfy every sports enthusiasts taste. There are even two big flat panel TVs facing the outdoor part of the restaurant. The staff will change channels upon request.

If you're running around with a crowd seeking a dimly lit, roomy spot to hang out in the wee hours of the morning after 1 or 2am, Ship of Fools is the place to board.

A couple of cons: Happy Hour. There's only a measly one dollar difference between happy hour and the non-happy hour periods for their selected beers and drinks. Also, stay away from their overpriced, frozen Margaritas. If you wish to down a high-caliber Margarita try Mustang Grill, located less than two blocks from the Ship of Fools.

During the substantial times I've spent there, I've heard of no complaint about the service or food offerings. Other than the above small pet peeves, this establisment comes highly recommended for bachelors and family folks alike.

• Pros: Pretty staff!!
• Cons: They could work on their happy hour!!!

Ultimate Sports Bar

by NYgal85

Finally found a legitimately cool sports bar. The crowd, the atmosphere everything was great. I've never seen so many TV's in a bar, the food was phenomenal, you can sit with your friends or easily mingle, which for me was the best part - because the crowd was actually very cool, friendly ,and fun! The ultimate sports bar!

Well,we went here with some friends on the nicest night of theyear, it was that perfect weather between summer and fall, and I figured we'd be cooped up inside. Boy, was I wrong. This sports bar has an outisde seating area that has 2 big flat screens so you can still watch your game. Needless to say, I was hooked. Then the food came..and I'm a believer!!Our waitress was really cool too, joking around with us and the table next to us. I will deffo be back!!

• Pros: great atmosphere, great staff, great food
