The quiet backroom was a nice find. But the waitress was hostile. We could not get her to serve us... She was only interested in larger groups. Finally, we had to write our order on a separate piece of paper and march it over to the waitress in the other room. Larger groups that came later were at their deserts before our appetizers arrived. --Drink Club is a roving group of NYC drinkers.
Pros: nice beer selection, friendly bartender
Cons: unfriendly or no waitstaff, downright hostility

In the city, it is quite difficult to find a place to go (especially on the weekends) to have a quiet drink and catch up with friends. This is that place-- where the bartenders are friendly, the drinks are super reasonable, and you can always get a seat. If only there were more places like it! Two thumbs up for sure. This is one of my favorite spots in NYC. Definitely worth checking out!
Pros: customer service, ambience, prices, location
Cons: none

We have our annual St Patty's day luncheon at this place and the choices are always good. Standard Irish Pub fare at a reasonable price.
Pros: Good corned beef
Cons: not much ambience

As a native New Yorker, it's hard to find a place to go (especially on a Thursday or Friday) to have a quiet drink and catch up with a friend. This is that place-- where the bartenders are friendly, the drinks are cheap, and you can usually get a seat. If only there were more places like it.
Pros: quiet, cheap, mellow
Cons: bad food, so-so ambience, could be boring

Small-town friends visiting? Sure, they'll want to be overwhelmed by Times Square and intimidated by chi-chi restaurants--that's part of the deal. But if you want to kick back and catch up, try Shades of Green. Nice bartenders, sports on TV and an unpretentious after-work crowd tends to please out-of-their-element hometown friends and family who've spent the rest of their visit pretending to enjoy your favorite squid-ink pasta and $15 apple martinis.
