Monk McGinn's, New York

The trademark of a good Irish Pub is a friendly and comfortable atmosphere that is immediately apparent upon entering. Manhattan's Monk McGinn's is no exception, and easily passes this "feel-good" test, with it's oak exterior and warm, wooden interior. The polished bar beckons to customers to come close and cozy up, with long pulls of stouts and ales topped with a creamy head awaiting consumption. Monk McGinn's menu also includes a sizable list of beer and shot combos–an 8-ounce pour gets a customized and complementary shot of distilled liquor paired up with it.
