Keenan's Bar — Restaurant in New York

It’s unfortunate that it takes something bad happening for me to leave a review but I’ll start off with saying that Keenan is one of the remaining, chill Irish pubs left. For the last 7 years I’ve stopped in here a few times a year, the drinks are affordable, I run into a local or someone I know runs into someone, it’s a vibe. Always.

Irish bartender, he must be new because I’ve never seen him, sees a Black and Latino crowd come in and sneakily upsells to young women some Casamigo shots he knows we didn’t order. If Calvin is here, don’t go....
