The second location in the Pony Bar empire, Pony Bar East is a new addition to the Upper East Side NYC beer bar crawl.  The spot has a similar feel to the original location in Hell’s Kitchen.  Pony Bar East is also a corner bar location with 20 quality tap beers that rotate frequently.  Most beers are 140z. pours that cost $5.  Pub Crawl NYC can’t wait to return!

This spot pays homage to the 20th Century British leader and statesman, Winston Churchill.  Famous quotes are visible throughout the establishment and a framed painting of Churchill sits above the fireplace opposite the bar.  The space is divided into three areas: a front seating area, fitted with high-top tables, followed by the main bar area in the middle and the back makes up the dining area (with restrooms just beyond the dining area).  A dozen mostly-quality tap beers, along with some scotch and whiskey make the drink menu that Churchill would be proud of.  The food menu is a mix of English pub fare and some American bar food.  To quote from the bar’s website, “With a great staff, stone fireplace, and tuneful piano, The Churchill offers an atmosphere like no other bar/restaurant in New York City.”  Having visited nearly every bar in Manhattan, Pub Crawl NYC concurs with that statement.

The $3 Tavern picks up where 1 Republik Lounge left off.   The space at 613 Second Avenue has changed names, but the look and feel of $3 Tavern is pretty much the same as its previous incarnation (it’s still a good candidate for the Murray Hill NYC dive bar crawl).  As one sign hanging behind the bar shows, the drink prices are very affordable for Manhattan.
