Check back here later this week and we’ll have some information on NYC pub crawls for the weekend.

A review of ParkLife in Gowanus, Brooklyn
Located at 636 Degraw Street in Gowanus, Brooklyn, ParkLife is a great spot for outdoor drinking. Unfortunately, we visited on one of the coldest Saturdays of the year, so outdoor drinking wasn’t really an option for us. There is a small indoor area that we inhabited during our visit. We look forward to returning here on a July day when the hot sun is high in the sky.
Happy Mardi Gras 2019!
Our NYC Bar of the Day: Bourbon Street Bar & Grill, located at 346 W. 46th Street in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen.
Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler!
Happy First Saturday of March 2019!
Our favorite non-holiday random Saturday of the year! The arrival of the First Saturday of March is very meaningful to us at Pub Crawl NYC. Though the calendar still says winter, March marks the end of the super-cold, long, dark winter months of December, January and February. Spring (and good pub crawling weather) is just ahead.
And, if you’re looking for a pub crawl for today, the annual Hoboken, NJ St. Patrick’s bar crawl takes place today. More info here.
Pub crawling through Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen
We recently had the opportunity to visit a few bars in Manhattan’s West Side. We’ll share some brief thoughts on one spot in particular, the recently-opened Giardino 54. Stay tuned.
Happy Presidents’ Day 2019!
Our NYC Bar of the Day: Fraunces Tavern, located at 54 Pearl Street in Manhattan’s Financial District.
Happy Valentine’s Day 2019!
Our NYC Italian wine bar of the day: The East Village location of Bar Veloce, at 175 Second Avenue.
NYC pub crawling in Gowanus and Fort Greene, Brooklyn
We had a chance to pub crawl around Brooklyn recently, visiting such spots as Gowanus’ ParkLife and Fort Greene’s Fulton Hall. Despite the frigid temperatures that day, we had a good time. We’ll offer our thoughts on these two spots in the coming days.
A brief review of Merrion Row Public House
Located at 119 West 45th Street inside of the Merrion Row Hotel, the Merrion Row Public House is a small bar/restaurant just beyond the main lobby area on the first floor. The beer selection offers a mix of imports and American craft beers, while the food menu includes Irish and American cuisine. The layout and look is vastly different from many of the other Irish pubs in the immediate area. An overall solid spot that we look forward to returning on our next NYC pub crawl through the neighborhood.
A brief review of MJ Smith’s pub in Midtown Manhattan
Located at 9 East 45th Street in Midtown Manhattan, MJ Smith’s picks up where Eamonn’s left off. We found MJ Smith’s a visual upgrade of Eamonn’s, the former inhabitant of the space. The layout is generally the same with a long bar in front and a small dining area in back. The beer selection was slightly underwhelming, as it could have been similar to what you’d find in a midtown pub circa 2002 (ie, not many craft beer selections). Still, the staff is friendly and the food menu looked intriguing. MJ Smith’s is a good spot for after-work drinks or if you “miss” your metro-north train at nearby Grand Central Terminal.
