Local 138, New York

Even though it is located in one of the city's hottest nightlife neighborhoods, this Irish bar maintains a very relaxed feel. A wood bar, black stools and wall mirrors decorate the relatively small, cozy space. The crowd is always laid back, and it is a good place to come to if you just want to relax and have a good time. The television is usually turned to whatever game is on, but this is not a sports bar. Drinks are reasonable and include spirits and beer in bottles or on tap.
