While you're not going
to have any wild times in Brewsky's, or meet the woman of your dreams
(unless your dream woman happens to be a 35 year-old, lost-looking
mute) you could certainly do worse for a cheap pint of obscure ale
and a nice, quiet place to chat with some buddies. Right down the
street from the equally ancient McSorley's,
Brewsky's claims to have been established in 1886 (presumably by Russians
or Poles and not Irish) and probably hasn't changed much since then.
Featuring a hand written board filled with left-of-center drafts both
domestic and foreign and a good deal of obscure bottled beer, Brewsky's
has the feel of hanging out in a pub in an old house. Toy trains and
other knick-knacks surround the small space, and a few stools at the
small bar make for an intimate atmosphere. This isn't the kind of
place where you have to fight your way to the bar, or stand long with
a bill in your hand trying to wave down the barkeep in the miniskirt,
it's the place you come before or after. [MF] |
