- Great
bar on Ninth Ave. (mid 20's-30's crowd)....Up and coming
neighborhood. Good place to hang out and relax (big screen TV,
lodge-like lounge with open fireplace, big couches). Beautiful
bar maids. Good food. - S.C.
This place is the best place to just hang out with friends on the
sofas and chew the fat. It has the unique distinction of being a
place you could go to as a local or for a Saturday night. Drinks
are reasonably priced, service is the only thing that lets it
down. Very slow. - D.D.
It looks a little cooler than it is, but still not a bad place to
check out in Midtown. The staff is fairly attitude-free and
attentive, although the bartenders are sometimes not too knowledgeable about drinks that don't have the ingredients in the
name. Live DJ and televised sporting events make for a slight
cognitive dissonance. - J.S.L.
This is a bar/lounge which seems to be more club than pub. It
features a dark lounge with couches and a fireplace, brick walls,
a high ceiling, stationary bar stools, and a DJ. It draws a loud,
trendy, twentysomething and thirtysomething clientele. It has a
limited beer selection. The prices are expensive and the service is good.

Mexican cantina on the Second Avenue strip attracts an after-work crowd of all
ages. It has no TV, and features
low-playing Mexican music, munchies on the bar, a low ceiling, and miscellaneous Mexican decor. Space is tight. There
is a bar and dining/cocktail tables on the main floor, and a
dining area on the second floor. The prices are somewhat
expensive and the service is
so-so. The bathrooms, located on the second floor are adequate
but hard to access. - T.K.

Formerly named 'Bar 50'. Small, quiet bar next to the Amsterdam
Court Hotel. Unimpressive. - T.K.

This is a very dark, low key sports bar located near the
Broadway LIRR station. It features several TVs (1 large screen),
video games, a pinball game, and a jukebox. The prices are
reasonable and the service is
OK. It doesn't draw many people. If you want to wait for a train
in a local bar, try Jimmy Mac's, the Velvet Cup, or Anna Reilly's
instead. The unisex bathroom is one-at-a-time (and small at
that). - T.K.
I think the original rating for this
place was far too generous. Calling Zone 13 a dive bar is being
far too generous, this place gives bars a bad reputation just by
existing. The last time I went there I had two flies in my drink
(and not fruit flies, either), and the bartender (a short, fat
obnoxious and very drunk woman dressed in black) kept coughing
all over the counter and the drinks she served. The entire place
smells rancid, and the bathrooms seemed to be used more as a
discreet spot to snort cocaine than to relieve yourself. The
patrons are simply atrocious, and I think the prices are less
than reasonable. You're honestly better off going to the deli
around the corner, buying a six pack and brown-bagging it than
wasting your time and money on this dump. Avoid at all costs. - K.P.

Comments - Always a great time had here. Arrive early because it gets packed fast. The food is very authentic also. What more can you ask for? Great people, food and drink. Die Bardamen sind schön. Gehen Sie zu Zums für einen goodtime, Sie werden dissappointed werden nicht. - T.F.
A diamond in the pineapple. - E.B.
Liter beers and German food. How can you go wrong? The picnic tables allow you to pile all your friends in for a great night a drinking and singing. - N.J.

- Zuni
is a small American cuisine restaurant tucked away on 9th
Ave. Monday nights is a great time to sit at the bar,
though, and listen to the live jazz band. Very relaxed,
laid back atmosphere--a cool way to end an early weekday evening.
D.H.
This is a small restaurant and bar located
in Hell's Kitchen. It features music played low, a low ceiling, partially exposed brick walls, a dark oak wood bar,
munchies on the bar, no TV, and interesting paintings on the
walls. There is live jazz music on certain nights. It draws an eclectic clientele. The prices are reasonable. The Irish lady behind the bar was
friendly and efficient. The bathrooms, located in
the basement down a steep staircase, are adequate. - T.K.
