A nice and pleasant place. Delicious food. And you can also draw while waiting for your order.
One of the classic old bars in NYC, dating back to 1817. It used to be on the waterfront and boats would tie up outside. It has about 10 beers on tap and food. Lots of things to look at on the walls, outdoor seating as well. The outside sign used to just say “BAR” but (from the bartender) there was a guy using an upstairs room who for many years published a local happenings paper called the “Ear” and someone covered up the rounded part of the B on the neon sign and it now says EAR instead of BAR
Had an amazing time and the service was the best. The Lamb Burger was delicious, the mixture of seasonings and the right amount of spicy and having it medium rare was the best suggestion ever! Ask for Caroline, she will make your visit worth while! Very attentive and made my night with her amazing energy!
Cool place, amazing music! It would be nice to have fries on the menu!
We stopped in for an after dinner drink only to find out that the Dirty Water Dogs were setting up to play near the bar area where we were sitting. We really enjoyed listening to them play, so much so that our stop in for one drink turned into a few drinks. We really enjoyed our time there, as well as the friendly bartender that took care of us.
