This is where we ended up after our fun & delicious meal at Mapo BBQ. Funny that we probably walked into the only Irish Sports bar in town complete with pool table & outdoor patio. It was your typical local bar, very welcoming. We were greeted by our George Carlin doppelgänger Brian. Very funny & to the point. He said first of all don't be ordering nothing fancy! Then us girls ordered a Pinot Grigio , a Hennessy & Coke(I think), a Southern Comfort & Tonic. Then STEVIE hits him with a Green Tea! LOL! Brian said didn't I tell you nothing fancy! The girls did fine! What're you trying to do to me?! We all had a good laugh. Long story short, Brian made the drink for Stevie! What a cool dude! We played a few games of pool, watched a Giants game(hanging head in shame), had lots of laughs and an all around good time. It would be a great place to do UYE but the parking situation sucks around there. But the train station is literally right next door! Good times! And because of Yelp check ins, off I went to meet some other Yelpers in Brooklyn at Canarsie Piers! What an awesome day & night I had!
A weird Irish bar in between two Asian bars or restaurants in Flushing, Queens. The drinks are affordable and the staff is kind. Flushing, Queens is home to Mic Geronimo, Action Bronson, Royal Flush, Neek The Exotic and Large Professor. My father is buried in Flushing as well. Paradise Alley represents an ideal of perfection in a universe of chaos.
Alright, so I'm a little confused on my opinions about this place... but I guess the bottom line is, "I'm a fan." It is a great oasis from the surrounding super Asian drink spots. The pricing on beers here is competitive (haha) and it's an overall decent place. The inside is air conditioned in the summers, the back patio is clean and spacious. The bathroom situation can get a bit frustrating if there's a lot of people, but it's rarely "crowded." Also, a pool table indoors, a large screen outside (which worked until a few weeks ago?! Please fix this!) Also, the guys at the bar remember your face, and are good to you if you're good to them. Thank you for this, really. A strange... characteristic of this place is that .... the crowd is really mixed. I mean, REALLY mixed. You'll get your 20 something asians, your 30 something non asians. With a splash of crazy, a kind of.. significant splash. IE: While enjoying the NBA playoffs and cheering with the rest of the back patio (who were all strangers) there were a few odd balls. One guy was talking to himself.. about a tea party that he was late to. I thought maybe he had a bluetooth in, but he did not. He was just.. ya noe, talking about non-existent tea parties. IE2: A very hands on couple - no big deal really, except that the age gap there must have been at least 40 years. And they did not speak the same language. It was just a strange situation. No judging here, I still love the place. But it's a very mixed crowd. A mixed crowd that really doesn't mind being in the company of others. My boyfriend made friends quick with two other dudes, they exchanged numbers and watched the game together (with me sitting quietly hahaha). But yes, you will see some weirdos.. yes, there will be lotsssss of weed wafting your way if you're in the back patios. yes, there may be a GIANT water bug in the bathroom. But the service is good, the space is more than acceptable, the location is great, etc. Oh, also - Cash only! Hmph.
I grew up a few blocks away from Paradise Alley, and as a kid everyone I knew kinda regarded it as a divey place, but not in a good way. I happened to drop by its Yelp page a few years ago and was surprised to see so many great reviews, so I book marked it, and happened to be in the neighborhood recently. It's somewhere between an old mans bar and a dive bar. There's a pool table up front ($1 per game), electronic poker, and an electronic juke box (that on the day I was there was playing exclusively classic rock thanks to the 40 and over crowd of regulars. Sweet!). Your usual domestic bottled beers run a reasonable $4, but the Blue Moon on draft was $7 or $8, which was a little steep. Still though, everything was always served with a smile and the bartender encouraged me to sing along to the music the moment I sat down. Love that. There's a spacious courtyard outside that overlooks the LIRR train tracks right next to the Murray Hill station. Between that and the planes overhead it can be a little hard to hold a reasonable conversation, or easy to hold a loud one. Either way it's nice to watch the trains go by, with trees handing overhead, resting your beer on a ledge that seems built just for that purpose.
I love this bar!! Awesome vibes, awesome patio! And Vicky is amazing! Gorgeous and always a blast! This places makes you feel like home. Filled with regulars. You can also bring food. Have spent many greats nights here and will always come when Vicky is around. She is the absolute best. I love Vicky!!
