St. Andrews Pub in New York, NY
Rating: B+
Fun place! Dropped in after a Broadway show to kill a few hours. You'll hear accents from all over the British Isles, from both the staff and the patrons. Live Celtic music on Saturday night from 9pm - 1am, which we were lucky enough to hit. The music really added to the atmosphere. Not sure what it'd be like without music - some of the golf decor didn't really do it for me.
This is actually more of a scotch bar, really. Extensive list of the Scotches carried, presented in a nice binder. The beers available are listed in chalk above the bar. Only one micro's offerings are available, those of Brooklyn Brewery, but the focus is on British and Irish beers: Belhaven, Guinness, Boddingtons, etc. Stella Artois and Budweiser available, too - fortunately they were having a problem with the Bud tap last night. Dining room is in the back, but we didn't eat there so I can't say anything about the food. Raw bar oysters available at the bar. The place is too narrow, very limited seating in the front, but apart from that you're either on a stool at the bar or standing. Staff is helpful and friendly. Mixed bag on glassware... my Brooklyn Weisse came in a Brooklyn Brewery glass, but Boddingtons came in a Miller Lite (!) glass and a Laphroaig scotch came in a Glenlivit glass. Prices were a bit steep, but it's NYC so it's expected.
