Cheers!

My favorite by far. NOT pretentious. Not anything, really, but a saloon with a great jukebox, a friendly clientele, and some truly superior bartenders. Excellent Happy Hour too.

Reliable, fun diner

Nothing fancy but just very, very comfortable. Decent prices, good staff. Seriously, a comfort joint in Chelsea worth many visits.

Beware

So I stopped in yesterday. Yes, two for one Happy Hour. Put a 20 down. When the bartender gave me my second drink, I thanked him and then he scooped up the change, which translated to a 10 dollar tip for two drinks. Seriously? WTF? What is up with these bartenders who assume that the money you're keeping on the bar is theirs? This is a cool place but I won't be back. Someone needs to teach the bartenders the basics of the job.
