I don't really write reviews, but really felt the need to write this one. This bar is a within arms length of the hospital, which is one of the reasons my colleagues and I come here after work. In the last year or so, the hunterian has become a pretty hostile environment for a lot of the hospital staff. I don't know his name, but one of the bartenders (short light red hair..Irish accent) has literally been bullying 2 male coworker friends of mine. From what I've heard from other regulars, he has been slowly trying to kick people out of there by creating false accusations to mask his discrimination. He seems to have an obvious problem with eastern European, Asians, and others. I have witnessed this on 2 or 3 occasions. After the other day, I felt the need to come on here and say something. I popped in a couple of days ago, and it's not what it used to be. We usually go here for trivia and karaoke, but this one employee has managed to turn off an entire institution of regular customers in such a short period of time. Murphys is right next door, and they offer food, a good a selection of alcohol, and loyal service. Not to mention the fact that they take care of health care employees. It's too bad because the hunterian used to be a nice gathering spot...

The bartenders are super friendly and care about the glass they're putting in front of you. They are admittedly a little pricey, but at this point I'm pretty sure I've tried every cocktail on the menu and I failed to find one I didn't enthusiastically like. The bar is a bit hidden amidst the relatively quiet side streets of the UES, but it is absolutely worth the cab ride from another...
Read moreWent to this bar in UES for a private event. It’s a small and intimate bar. The bartender was quick and attentive while working alone. The cocktails tasted good and fairly priced (Tito’s soda was about $15), and they have a good selection of drafts. I don’t think they serve any food since food had to be catered from a different place. A chill bar to have a drink if you...
