After a great time at Triona's in Greenwich a few months ago, we randomly stumbled upon this new location on Third Ave and had a blast here as well!
Walking in, you'll see a few high-top tables up by the front window, and plenty of seating along the bar counter. Colored LED strips illuminate the back bar in a soothing orange, with a light blue glow emanating from beneath the bar counter. The side wall opposite the back bar is plastered with vintage-style wood and tin signs, with two chalkboards detailing the happy hour specials and available beers. Plenty of flatscreen TVs jut out from the ceilings and walls, giving everyone a good view when there's a game on. There's some stacked stone on the back wall, with soft directed lighting bringing out its shadows...overall the whole bar looks very cool and polished.

You had ridiculously over the top reactions to our simple request to play darts and avoided amicably telling us why you were opposed to the idea. Instead, the owner pitched a hissy fit to us. We were reasonable customers who were buying beers.
I just hope the owner is okay. Judging from his reactions he seems to be struggling with everything here
I hope that the bathing suit you were wearing...
Read moreMy wife and I are fresh to New York City from London. We were staying nearby and happened to find this place by chance. And we’re so lucky we did. We spent the past two nights taking in the wonderful ambiance and enjoying every second of our stay. Simply wonderful service by all members of the staff (particularly, this wonderful Irish girl, who was simply wonderful!!!). Cannot recommend this place enough. The next time we are in New York, we will no...
