New NYC bars and clubs

Downtown Galway Hooker

Just added!

If you visit this West Village tavern’s official website, you’re greeted with a history lesson of sorts: “For those that don’t know, a Galway Hooker is a traditional sailing boat used in Galway Bay off the coast of Ireland.” So with that out of the way, let’s talk about the grub—hearty, pub-y and definitively Irish with bacon and cabbage and uber-savory cottage pie planted on the menu. Quesadillas, New York strip and a the now-ubiquitous cubano are definitively not Irish, but still perfect for complementing European brews like Bass, Leffe and, of course, Guinness. Live DJs spin on the weekends, offering classic rock, top 40 and U2 on the hour. We made that last part up, but what an idea!
