    Blarneys is still open everyday. Good music. Nice atmosphere. Six monitors to view multiple events…read more ATM. Close to subway/LIRR.

    You ever find a place that just feels....wrong?…read more Ok, so as most of you know by now, I adore a dive bar..... like Frank Gahllager levels of love*. So when I knew I would be in the area for a while waiting for a ride, I figured I'd find refuge in a place that made me feel at home. This place should have fit that bill, but man looks can be deceiving. I'll be honest, when it comes to sticky floor dive bars, I tend to ignore ratings...well not ignore, but almost inverse the score. The lower the rating, odds are the better the dive it is. This place's rating wasn't far off, if anything, maybe a litle too high. It started innocently enough when they told me they were cash only...fair, it's only 2021 and yelp says you take cards..but yeah fair. Anywho, a quick jaunt to the corner Capitol One**, and I was back no worse for the wear..somehow. I got back and ordered a beer and a shot. In a dive bar. In a neighborhood where someone like Frank Gahllager could literally be....and it was 15$? Come on, guys. It was a bottle of Coors Lite and a shot. Never mind the fact that the place was on fire with people having...lets just say a little too much fun at 5pm on a weekday (even for me), and I was sold that this place was pretty much the pits of hell. Was I waiting for a ride still? yes. Does that mean I stayed? Absolutely, but I made sure to keep it to mugs of Bud (PS they ONLY serve Bud and somehow Stella on draft....). Don't get me wrong, it took forever to get another beer, as it was change of shift and the old bartender ran away while the new one basically told everyone to piss off for 15 min's as he set up. So TL;DR. This place is as dirty as a dive bar, has shitty booze like a dive bar, but charges like a normal bar and has bartenders that are pretty much the worst. For the record, those bartenders should have been a tip-off that this wasn't really a dive, as dive bar bartenders, as a rule, are the fucking best. _______________ *Minus the absolute rock bottom that is Frank G. **I LOVE this city, but man is this neighborhood the worst. Like people blowing smoke in your face and looking at you for a second or two too long kinda the worst....let me stop clutching my pearls now.
