Shades of Green Bar-Restaurant, New York City

At Shades of Green, located near Union Square, all shades point towards the Emerald Isle. This pub is bedecked as a traditional Irish pub through and through. Shades is a family-run establishment serving pub foods like Shepherd's Pie and Fish & Chips. At the bar up front, the bartenders know how to pour a Guinness right and same goes for the lethal mixing of the Irish Car Bomb. The dining room in the back is quieter and provides a bit more intimacy. If you get too sloppy to go home, there's accommodation available above. So start singin' Danny Boy!
