New NYC bars and clubs

Mary O's

A straight-and-steady Irish bar, Mary O's (which we've also heard called Mary O'Halloran's) offers a classy, low-key respite from the ever-increasing sloppy madness of Avenue A bar-dom—plus a handful of beers on taps. Take a seat at the sleek, muted black-and-white bar area up front, or bring your drinks to the back, where a handful of streamlined leather ottomans and dimpled leather bench seating provide a simple but modern backdrop for laid-back but earnest drinking. An electronic jukebox will happily accept your musical requests.
