Allen St. btw Delancey St. and Rivington St.
Pretty decent sized space with the bar in the back, but you’re free to drink up front as well, though the front area is used more for eating.  Vibe is relaxed with late 20 to 30 year old’s, friendly service, and, well, that’s about it.  Solid spot.  Above average beers at above average prices, taste fine.
Bleecker St. and Barrow St.
Used to be Bleecker Heights Tavern, but now it’s cleaned it’s act up a little bit.  First off, it’s harder to find due to the construction downstairs.  But once upstairs, the place has been renovated with the old furniture from Sunset Boulevard.  If you don’t claim one of the furniture groups, you’ll be crammed into the decent sized bar area as every young 20 year old seems to come here.  Service gets bonus points for being pretty quick on service, above average beers at slightly above average prices, taste fine.
1st Ave. btw 10th and 11th St.
Spacious bar in an area consisting of dive bars, so it’s a nice change of pace if you like cleanliness and such.  Crowd is 20’s and 30’s, service is friendly, and there are plenty of seats.  Above average beers and cocktails at prices average for both, taste fine.
Well, this place as closed, must have been as exciting to the masses as my review.
10th St. btw 1st and 2nd Ave.
Used to be Company, and it’s basically the same layout except they took away the multi-phone charger and installed a car grille…so there’s that.  It’s definitely more inviting than the former tenant, and there’s a small space for live music now.  Service is friendly, and the crowd is late 20’s to 30’s.  Above average taps at average prices, taste fine.
26th St. btw 6th and 7th Ave.
Solid pub in an area that could use more places like this.  British-style hangout with a lot of space to move around.  Plenty of TV’s for sports, with a crowd of B&T’s and tourists.  Average and above average beers at average prices, taste fine.
