Long, dark, wooden, with a bookshelf and a list of drinks named after dead writers. It has been the Amsterdam Avenue local for a couple of decades and it is entirely uninterested in being anything else.

That is worth something in a neighborhood where most of the bars are either sports or strollers.

What to know

Open late. The back is quieter than the front.

Going? Tell them MUSEENYC sent you. It's not a discount and there's nothing to redeem — we just want them to know where you heard it.
