Comments - Mexican theme bar (piped in Mexican music). Lots of potted and hanging plants. Very cheap ($2 bottle of Miller Lite on Thursday) happy hour drinks. Bathroom is OK. - T.K.

Comments - It's located off the lobby of the Carlyle Hotel. Unexciting, if there is an attraction, it's the top notch jazz acts that perform here. If you're not interested in the music, don't bother. The service is very good. The prices are ridiculous. The hotel lobby bathrooms are more than adequate. - T.K.

Comments - A bunch of buddies and I went to Cafe 31st before and after the Big East Semis last March. The service was very good (fast), and it was affordable. It was a good atmosphere, filled with college basketball junkies and others just looking for a good time. Not only was the atmosphere good that day, it was also very easy to watch the other tournament games, the place is filled with TVs. I would say the only downside to the place would be their bathrooms, but I have seen worse. I would recommend going there if your looking to have a good time with some friends in a sports environment. My friends and I will definitely be back there in a few days for the '03 Big East Semis! - M.B.

This is a sports bar across the street from Madison Square Garden. The prices are reasonable. It serves as one of the many Penn Station commuter bars and Madison Square Garden pre & post events bars. - T.K.

Bar located right across MSG. Gets very crowded before Rangers and Knicks games. Lots of TV's located throughout the bar/restaurant. Attracts a clientele of all shapes and sizes. Staff is attractive but dresses like trash. Prices are affordable, but the food isn't world-class. - A.S.

Comments - A tiny bar in the lobby of the President Hotel. Bartender Mina is good. Strictly a starting out point for hotel guests. Nobody else will find it. The eatery bearing this name is visible from the street, but not the bar. Hotel lobby bathrooms are OK. - T.K.

Comments - This bar/lounge seems to attract a somewhat older clientele. I'm told that it has been around since the 1960s. It is a rather spacious place with a long bar and numerous tables along the exposes brick wall. There is a high ceiling and a yard for the warmer weather. The beer selection is somewhat limited. The service is decent. The bathrooms, located in the basement, are adequate. - T.K.

Comments - Went with a group of 20 people. . .all had a terrible time. We kept getting yelled by the bouncers and waitresses b/c we were not standing where we should be. We would move to a different part of the bar and get yelled at again. So we left, all 20 of us. - J.E.

Great happy hour crowd.  Attentive bartenders, attractive patrons (especially the women), great DJ, good service.  Often crowded but in a good way. The food is excellent. - J.B.

Great food, great bar, great beer, great women and great workers. Top Mexican Bar in my book!!!!! - J.P.

The fun kind of crowded. It is where good looking groups gather. In fact, I met a hot guy there. Joe from NJ if you see this...I do want to see you naked!!! - A.R.W.

The happy hours at Calico Jacks on Wednesday and Thursday nights are fabulous. Great after work crowd with plenty of chicas for the men and chicos for the women. Excellent DJ, excellent cocktails, excellent drink specials. One of the better happy hours in Manhattan for the young fun ones. Dont be scared away by the crowd - I will definitely be going back. - C.B.

I loved this place, the music was fun, the bartenders where great, and lots of men! It does get really crowded, but it is so much fun. - J.T.

The restructuring of the "Irish Times Square" has taken place. The old "Maguire's Cafe" has successfully gone from an Irish pub/sports bar to a Mexican cantina. It is still connected to McFadden's (f.k.a. Ryan-McFadden's) with the common kitchen and joint ownership. The after-work clientele is pretty good, but I still miss Maguire's. The Mexican motif is really done up here. The place features several TV's, a jukebox/Karaoke, a high ceiling, cocktail/dining tables, and a Mexican menu. It's not quite the sports bar that Maguire's was (McFadden's is now more of a sports bar). Ryan McFadden's always drew a slightly younger crowd than Maguire's - that's now reversed. The prices are reasonable. The service is friendly and efficient. It can be a little difficult when it's very crowded. The bathrooms are more than adequate. - T.K.

Hottest women in mid-town. Good food, cold beer, good looking chics and good music. What else is there to say? - J.L.S.

Too many Long Island snobs who think their sh*ts don't stink. Give me a break. But it's a cool place run by Irish, even though you think it's Mexican. - M.J.

Mexican Bar located next to McFadden's on 42nd & 2nd draws a mid 20's crowd. There's not much space by the bar, so it is usually crowded (there's a separate seating area). They have a variety of affordable specials. The sandiness of the bar countertop is a nice touch. There are several TV's located around the bar for sports viewing. - A.S.

Comments - This is easily the worst bar in the city, if not the United States. The margaritas come in thimbles, and as for the food, imagine if Boston Market made quesadillas. The capper: happy hour doesn't extend to the tables...so, by all means, join the B & T and go! - N.B.

Faux-Mexican fare, real Mexican staff. The $14 margaritas last a really long time. It helps if you speak Spanish when ordering at the bar. $12 shots of Patron, quite expensive. - D.

Comments - This is a well-lit, split-level, fancy Latin bar/restaurant which seems to draw a good, mixed clientele of all ages and races. The prices are rather expensive ($6.50 for a cerveza). Margaritas are the specialty. The service is good. It features Latino decor, several TV sets, partially exposed brick walls, lounges with couches, and a low ceiling with fans. The bathrooms are adequate. - T.K.

Comments - One of the best bars in NYC....- J.V.

This place is very different - a must see. Exclusive looking, it resembles something from a 1930's movie. Very high ceiling, bar, living room chairs, coffee tables, a balcony with cocktail tables. Well lit, no music, good service, hostess, coat check. A rather elegant crowd, I was clearly out of my league. Very expensive drinks. Unisex bathrooms are one-at-a-time. - T.K.

You've got to be kidding me! This place is an overpriced funeral home waiting room. Plenty of wannabe yuppies though, if that's what you're into! - C.F.

Comments - Small bar with cheap drinks. After-work crowd (mostly African-American). Brightly colored walls are a bit too much. Reasonable prices, bathrooms are adequate. - T.K.

Agree with prior posting, but would add that if you like to know some good midtown folk and gossip, this is a nice place to go. Also, the margaritas are excellent and the bar staff seem friendly and helpful. I've enjoyed it every time I've stopped in after work (perhaps 10 times all tolled). - N.43

Comments - This place is classy. An upscale restaurant with a cool, trendy bar. Very romantic - great food and lots of candles. Great date spot! - J.M.

A hip, attractive crowd, a hopping bar scene, and an old-fashioned candlelit restaurant make Candela an excellent pick up spot at the bar or romantic spot in the restaurant. - S.M.

This bar/restaurant located between Union Square and Gramercy Park seems to draw a mixed (all ages) clientele. Well lit, it features decent music (not too loud), high ceilings, and spacious dining areas. The prices are reasonable. The service is friendly and efficient. There are no TVs. The bathrooms are more than adequate. - T.K.

Great place. Bartenders Jessica and Lindsay are total hotties with awesome personalities too! This place has it all, good looking people and it has a fun atmosphere.

The food is barely average. - S.C.

Classy joint. - K.U.

Comments - Probably one of the largest nightclubs in the area, this is several places in one. There is a long bar area with dining/cocktail tables and booths, a large stage area for top musical acts and a spacious dance floor, a game room, and an outdoor yard with a bar and food. There are 'side shows' in areas other than the main stage. There are many TVs for sports viewing. The clientele is as different as the musical acts for a given night (the acts run the gamut from rock to big band). The prices also vary (watch for drink specials). There are cover charges most nights which vary with the popularity of the musical acts. The parking lot is spacious. It was known for years as the OBI East (Oak Beach Inn). Cabs are usually easy to access. The bathrooms are adequate. - T.K.

Comments - Southwestern restaurant where good looking upper east-siders hang-out and/or dine. The bar is an excellent people watching spot, since crowds for the popular restaurant keeps a steady stream of new faces at the bar. Since its predominantly a restaurant, it closes earlier than the average bar, and is governed by the NY no-smoking laws, even if your just hanging out at the bar. - S.M.

Comments - This old time bar on Lexington Avenue has recently been given a face lift. Although not a very crowded or popular spot, it's got plenty of room, cold inexpensive beers, and a pool table. Check it out with some friends on a night that you are not in the mood for a loud, rowdy time. - J.M.

Comments - See the definition of "saloon" in MurphGuide's Saloon section and you will get the picture. This is old school -- if you have a preconceived notion of what Park Slope crowd is like, this almost definitely ain't it. Just down the block from the 7th Ave. stop on the F train. Also, some people think it looks like it serves food, but it doesn't. This is strictly a drinkin' establishment. - L.S.

Comments - The most comfortable "neighborhood" bar on the East Side. A long, narrow, extremely well-stocked bar, with just enough Irish flavor to please the 
pub-hopper in all of us. The staff and service are what make this bar a winner, as you'll always be treated like family, whether you're a regular or a first-timer. 
The music is loud, the drinks flow readily, the food is tasty, and the people are fun. If you always wanted your own "Cheers" with an Irish brogue, this is the place for you... - B.T.

Comments - Casa La Femme is a sexy restaurant and bar, great for smooching with your date or with one of the beautiful guys you meet there (or girls if you're a guy). A very impressive place to take someone. A little on the expensive side (7-9$ per drink), but it is extremely classy and whoever you take there will definitely be impressed. Some perks are belly dancers, beautiful Egyptian theme, nice bathrooms, beautiful people, silk tents if you're having dinner there and great drinks (I recommend the French Kiss). Very classy and trendy place. - O.F.

We celebrated an important birthday with over 20 people at Casa (sit-down dinner). I had two experiences that I will never forget. First, as our dinner progressed, another dinner party--which began as a sit-down dinner--turned into a large, raucous affair. People at that party were standing at our table, kicking our chairs and bumping into many. When I asked the offenders politely to please cease from disrupting our dinner, I received a vulgar retort. Realizing that I needed the speak with the manager, I approached a woman who seemed to be in charge. I asked her if she was the manager and she said no. When I asked who the manager was, she responded: `You'll find the manager downstairs`. As instructed, I went `downstairs` but only found the restrooms. When I came back upstairs, the same woman was laughing and running towards the kitchen. I asked a busboy to please point out the manager, and to my surprise, the manager was THAT SAME WOMAN! I approached the seating host with my complaint (and also mentioned what had happened with the manager) and he apologetically told me that HE was the manager and that he would make sure to reprimand the mystery woman/manager, as well as make sure that the party causing the disturbance would be admonished. Well this of course never happened, and after speaking with our waiter, I found out that the host was actually NOT the manager. To say that the actions of the manager and host are unprofessional is an understatement. Childish and ignorant are more like it. Another unbelievable occurrence relates to a couple who was seated in one of the `romantic` translucent tents, clearly performing oral sex on each and moaning quite loudly. The entire restaurant (including the manager who seemed to be enjoying the show more than most) was aware of what was happening...but nothing was done to curtail this probably illegal (and at worst unhygienic) public display. What a night... - G.G.

Comments: CBGB's is a phenomenon. I've been going to shows there for over ten years. There have been too many legends that have graced that stage and I'm sure there are plenty in the making. Flyers and stickers from eons ago wallpaper the walls. The bar staff, although always boggled by drunken punk rockers, are quick and efficient. If you can hold it, I'd advise NOT going to the bathrooms because you'll never know what's flowing out of those things. Unfortunately, Hilly's and CB's time is limited. NYU has decided to rip down this historical landmark--ask anyone in the world where and what CB's is and they'll tell you, probably with a mention of the Ramones--and replacing it with dorms. So take advantage while you can. - D.M.

It's a legend. Everyone should go at least once. - S.S.

Comments - Not a bad place. Mellow overall, a place where people go to drink beer and chat at a bar or in a booth. Nubile, slightly surly NYU students serve a variety of beer. What kinds? I dunno. I was drinking Jack and Coke. There's two floors, the jukebox could use some updating (God bless Van Morrison, but do I really need to hear "Brown Eyed Girl" ever again?), but wasn't bad. The crowd ranged from people in their twenties to their fifties. Food, too. I heard the oysters and turkey burger were okay. Suggestion: giving people daisies from a $4 bouquet at the deli on 13th will brighten people's day, and the chicas working there look fine with one in their hair. - S.G.

Comments - This is a new revamped bar. The staff are great and friendly, there is enough bathrooms in this place. It is great to go after work or hang out on a Saturday night.  You should check this place out. - L.B.

This is an awesome bar! Call it the sports bar/Irish bar for the 21st century. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but once you walk in, you are immediately comforted by the dark wood floors and walls, the flat screen TVs, the couches and recessed seating area. There's even a second level, which I'm assuming is for renting out. The food is wonderful, the one bartender serving us was adorable, and it was just overall awesome. I've already recommended it to many friends, and I even plan on having a birthday party there! This bar gets an A++. - L.M.

This is a good spot located near NYU that draws a variety of clientele. Prices are reasonable and the menu has a nice variety. There are four screens located throughout, as well as a separate seating area. Staff is friendly. Bathrooms are 1 at a time. -A.S.

Comments - Great loungey bar.  Comfortable couches and chairs.  The service is terrific.  The bartender is awesome. People from my office go at least twice a week, especially Thursday nights for true happy hour.  From 4-8 its half priced drinks. As soon as the bartenderff sees all six of us walk in, he gets the drinks ready. Defintely check it out but don't steal my couch. - C.G.

Great everyday of the week. There's a lounge downstairs, and a great restaurant upstairs. So, whether you stop in after work for a 1/2 price drink, a great dinner, or to experience a Sat night at Chameleon, you won't be disappointed. I found this place by accident one night with some of my friends, and have since become a regular. - J.T.

Comments - Located in Shubert Alley, it's one of the most popular places for theatergoers. Although primarily a restaurant, it has picture windows, and a very long (and busy) bar. It's busiest times are pre and post show times. There are many tables for outdoor drinking and dining. Obviously, it's somewhat pricey. The service is friendly and efficient. The bathrooms are adequate, but you must walk through the dining area to reach them. - T.K.

On our visit to New York, in Charlie O's we found the service friendly, especially from a guy called Victor. Thank you, New York. A.K.

Comments - This place serves as a commuter waiting spot and a Madison Square garden pre- and post-event hangout. It can get very crowded (sometimes with an ugly crowd) after a big game upstairs. It features a wrap-around bar, many cocktail tables, several TVs, and a jukebox. The drinks are somewhat expensive considering the location. The bartenders sometimes become overwhelmed when it's crowded. The bathrooms are not good under normal circumstances and worse when it's very crowded.  - T.K.

Comments: Very nice place w/ good service and a nice up-keep. An upstairs floor playing house music, while the downstairs is the hip-hop lounge. An excellent "smaller" club atmosphere if you are not big on the larger clubs. - P.A.

The Hip Hop Lounge is so comfortable and the DJ is off the hook! The people were really mellow and cool. The upstairs was jam backed and the music was wack, but if your into the techno music then you will like it. But definitely check out the lounge downstairs, if your into Hip Hop! - J.T.

This club was hot, The house/techno music needs to be updated. The hip hop was on point. Slightly snobby crowd, but, after everyone's drinks began to take effect, everyone was free. Again, the House/Techno DJ needs to feel the crowd, and work the music accordingly. - T.4.

I can't score it because the first time I was there it was closed for a private party on a Thursday in the summer.

Comments - One of the bartenders at this place was named by Time Out New York as one of the ten sexiest bartenders in NYC. That and the jukebox (Bad Brains, Social Distortion, NWA) is enough to keep me coming back for more. - M.B.

Its dingy, and small, but the Cherry Tavern should be an early stop on everone's East Village Bar hop. A few Cherry Tavern "specials" and you'll be three sheets in the wind. - A.D.

The Tijuana special, $4 for a shot of Tequila and a can of Tecate, will make any girl look good. Even if she's on coke, a ho, and your roomate has done "things" with her. This bar will make racking up your bar ho count easy as a Times Square hooker. - F.H.

My favorite little bar in NYC. Dark and dingy with some Tijuana specials to liven up the room. Last time I was there, I hooked up with the sweetest little Spanish girl. God loves all those who visit the Cherry Tavern. - B.D.

Comments - World famous NYC nightclub. Two floors of drinking and a roof recently opened. Music venue varies. Open to the public on Friday, Saturday, & Monday nights. Monday is the big night. $20 cover most nights. You can get discount passes ($5 off cover) at the Times Square Visitors' Center (before 8 PM) or at many of the nearby bars (Mc Hales, Rum House, Playwright, Pig 'n Whistle, Langans, etc.) - T.K.

If your into the hip hop scene and just chillin' with a drink in your hand, this is not the place. I hated it. The DJ was like 80 years old and the trance music made me want to puke. The lounge downstairs wasn't any better. - J.T.

This place is very over-rated. Without the wall of celebrity pictures, this place would just be another really, really expensive club with OK music. There was an amazing magician there one night and the promoters bring in some nice looking dancers to raise your heart rate. But in general, I pass. - T.C.

I have been here a bunch of times. This place really depends on what night you go. It is a good night when there is hip-hop in the two rooms besides for main room. - E.C.

I went last there last night, Monday and had the time of my life. The greatest bartenders I have ever seen. - T.G.

Comments - More of a restaurant than a bar, a place for the trendy, with techno music playing in the background. Apple martinis are highly recommended. Staff is friendly and bathrooms are in good shape. Celebs, such as Carson Daly and Adam Carolla have been known to frequent. A little pricey. A little different than most, but worth a shot. - A.S.

Comments -West Village speakeasy, where finding it is half the fun. There is no sign on the door, so you may pass it on your first try. Once you get there, relax and have a drink, and absorb the atmosphere and history at this throwback to prohibition (yuck). Large selection of draught beer. This place is small and popular, which equals crowded. Cool retro juke-box. Also serves pub food and burgers. - S.M.

Enjoyable spot to meet friends. Packed on weekends. - S.M.(2).

Great place to go if you can possibly get in. So packed with tourists and NYU students that the only time to get a seat is off-peak. They do have food and a lot of beer on tap, so def try to make it....in the middle of the day. - S.A.

I finally found it!! The bartender was nice, atmosphere great and those dogs on the floor aren't fake. I loved it and will return on next trip to NYC. - B.B.

Bartender was too busy eating right at the bar to fix me a drink. Other bartender felt put out by my drink order. - B.J.

Pretty fun place but definitely make it ONE of the stops for the night, not the only place. The Labrador Lager is really tasty. The staff can be rude. - K.J.

Capitalizing on the popularity of hot hotel lobby bars, the Tribeca Grand Hotel has a spacious and hip lobby bar and lounge area. Drinks are priced for Tribeca hipsters and wealthy travelers. In a rarity for downtown, there were actually friendly doormen. The blue-lit ceiling may remind you of the times that you have drank until dawn. - S.M.

This is a large bar/lounge located off the lobby of the Tribeca Grand Hotel. It draws a mixed crowd of all ages. There is a high ceiling and many cocktail tables.

Comments - Clancy's is an oasis for people who live in mid-town east and need to escape from the chaos that Turtle Bay and Opal have brought to the neighborhood. Clancy's may be a little quiet at times but when you have to fight for a beer after standing on line for 35 minutes at Opal, the sight of Clancy's warms your heart. Cold beers, good jukebox, sports always on, good pub food, and the staff (especially Red) is always welcoming. - E.M.

Clancy's rules, it is such a cool place to go. The staff are really friendly and are very funny Best bar in New York! - P.J.

Formerly Kennedy's. Comfortably crowded and fun. Reasonable prices. -T.K.

We were there for the first game of the subway series, the 12 inning game. No other bars would take us in for dinner. We found Clancy's and were able to belly up at the bar for the night. The steak dinners were great! The TV sights were excellent. The bartender even accommodated me with black and tans! The wood work at the bar is classic. Good times! - N.F.

Friendly bar in the eastern part of Midtown.  Points for the sturdiness of the tables and bar.  Crowd ranged from early 30's and up.  A bit quiet.  Bathrooms were kind of small.  Would go back. - A.S.

Comments -  I really liked this place. It is is one of the larger outdoor spots on the Jersey Shore. They have a band and dancing outside with seating and a raw bar. It draws an older (40 to 60) clientele. The scenery is great (it's on the water). They have a large, more low-key bar inside with a dining area and numerous TVs for sports viewing. The bar service is a little lacking (they should have more bartenders). The prices are reasonable. The bathrooms are more than adequate. They sometimes close early. - T.K.

Comments - Dimly lit bar in Chelsea takes a while to get used to once you walk in and get adjusted to the lack of light. Drinks are affordable especially the happy hour prices. Long stocked bar towards the front with a lounge area and DJ on the other side of the floor. Not a bad crowd mix of young and old. Bathrooms could use some work. - A.S.

Comments - Queens' answer to Coyote Ugly and Red Rock West, just wilder. Definitely a dive, but after 10pm the most fun you can have in Queens. Girls dance on the bar, on the barstools, on the customers... - M.T.

This bar has to be the worst bar I have ever been in, and believe me, I've been to some really bad bars. Let's start with the atmosphere: The bar is filled with a bunch of greasy middle aged men and four bar maids that look like they've been on crack most of there adult life. Now getting to the decoration: Bubble wrap!!!!! Yes, bubble wrap. That is what they use to cover the front window. If that is not bad enough. the tube lighting around the whole bar will get you sick to your stomach. OK, what's next? Oh yeah, the service. Now you would think that with four girl behind the bar it would not be so hard to get a drink. Well it shouldn't be, but since these girls are flirting with the old men, getting dollar bills thrown down there tops, you're waiting a while for a drink. Oh yeah, get this!  When the girl finally gets to you, she has the nerve to ask you to buy her a drink. And half the time they don't even drink. They'll just put the money in the register for the owner. By the way, did I tell you, she's always there? She's a real prize too. OK, getting along now. We're up to the bathrooms. One bathroom, one toilet, no urinal, 20 guys that have been drinking cheap beer all night . You do the math. - J.J.

Comments - I love this bar! You have to visit the Clubhouse to really appreciate the friendly atmosphere.  It's like being at home.  We are more like family than friends.  The bartenders are great, D.J. Frankie is the best D.J. in the business.  What more could you ask for ?? - M.D.

This is the best bar around, where everybody is treated like family. And DJ Frankie is the best DJ around. He's there every Friday and Saturday night.rom 10 pm to till he plays dance to singing its the best place in queens. - M.3.

Yeah......it's home. - D.T.

Comments - Although the cigar bar craze has faded, Club Macanudo is still an elegant Upper East Side cigar bar that takes cigar smoking to its most upscale proportion. Rush Limbaugh and Larry King have their own humidors, which are rented like gym lockers on the back wall.  The space consists of three rooms, with the bar in the main middle area, and a front and rear smoking parlor.  This is either your scene, and you’ll go to see and be seen, or else you will despise it as obscene and blatantly decadent.  Either way, it is so very New York. Don’t go if you’re pinching pennies.   Jacket required. - S.M.

Try the quesadillas. They are excellent. Too much smoke (obviously) but nice atmosphere. - E.M.

Comments - Elegant live music venue that draws a hip NYC crowd.  Built in the space of a former bank, the bar maintains a teller window feel to it, and be sure to check out the downstairs vault turned lounge.  Live music every night, the bar is spacious and comfortable. Not many bars in the area, so it is a welcome addition to the midtown nightlife scene. - S.M.

Comments - The bar and the restaurant are separate. It's a mellow bar with piped-in Jazz music. It's fairly well lit. It has munchies on the bar. The clientele and the staff seem to be mostly Asian-American. The prices are reasonable and the service is good. The bathrooms are one-at-a-time. - T.K.

I went to the restaurant and the food was really good and reasonably priced. - J.T.

Comments - This is a small bar in Midtown Manhattan that seems like it should be elsewhere. It's much more of a bar than a restaurant. It seems to draw a wide range of people (all ages and races). There are a certain number of students from Fordham's nearby Midtown campus. It features several TVs, a jukebox, cocktail tables and high-tops, pictures of celebrities behind the bar and pictures of Ireland on the walls, and a low ceiling (smoky). It's not a fancy place (the vinyl on some of the stools is torn), but I wouldn't use the word 'dive'. The lighting is not too bright and not too dim. It has friendly and efficient Irish bartenders. The prices are reasonable. The bathrooms are adequate. The Coliseum may be gone, but this place is still alive. - T.K.

Been going here since my Fordham days in the late 80's early 90's. Never really changes, but that is a real big part of the charm for me. Thursday nights are a traditionally hot night for a youn
