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.
