McHale's [CLOSED] B, R 750 8th Ave., 212/997-8885 Don't let the cover fool you, this isn't the OTB junkie hang out it appears to be. Nope, it's an old school bar with a new school flavor. The crowd is young and cool, and the help is cute and sarcastic (just the way we like 'em). There's something about a female bartender giving us shit (in a funny way) that ingratiates her to us here at The Survey. She'll get on our good side even faster if she pours a nice pint and then sends a nice Irish waitress over with some seriously tasty burgers. Unfortunately the space itself isn't set up very well for hanging out, but if you're able to get a table and plop down for a few hours of beers and grub, there really isn't anywhere else as mellow and relatively inexpensive in the area. What's nice about this joint is that it's a throwback to when there was no classification. There weren't lounges, pubs or cigar bars. There were just bars--and bars served bar food and booze and cigarette smoke and were named after Irish guys and not animals or flowers or whatnot. Trust us, it's the real thing. [MF] |
