The Stag's Head — Restaurant in New York

My partner and I popped in here for some pre-dinner drinks shortly after arriving in NYC, and received such a lovely warm welcome from the bar staff and other patrons. The beer choice was excellent and we had the most enormous pretzel I've ever seen to accompany our drinks. The barman whose name, if I recall correctly, was Dan, was absolutely lovely and entertained us with funny stories about New Orleans after we mentioned that it was our destination after NYC.

The atmosphere in the bar is a bit like a dive, but in a really great way. It feels like a real local pub and the music was excellent (70s and 80s rock). We meant to return before leaving NYC but sadly didn't get a chance to do so, but we'd definitely go back next...

Not only with us, it with other patrons as well. What started as a single drink on the way home turned in to three rounds and one for the road. Bartenders like these are one in a million. Thank you for the stellar service. Absolutely cannot wait to come visit again! If you’re in the neighborhood give this...

I like places where the service is a little bit more than just blankly dropping items off, but not too in-your-face. The Stag's Head delivers in this department.

I have primarily visited for the beer selection both times--they have an interesting array of taps and are bound to have something you've not tried. However, I've eaten there both times as well, and the food is very good. The fish & chips and the shepherd's pie are not...
