Boss Tweed's:
The real Boss Tweed is actually buried in Brooklyn’s Greenwood Cemetery, but here on the Lower East Side, Tweed’s name is invoked as a tongue-in-cheek nod to overindulgence. News clippings and some of the political cartoons that led to Tweed’s fall from grace adorn the walls, as does a 36-star American flag (which was flown just before Tweed became a New York State senator). Gruff neighborhood types sit alongside bleary-eyed undergrads (a Jägermeister tap machine testifies to their presence). All of the marks of a solid neighborhood bar are present: friendly service, darts, a pool table, a jukebox,
karaoke, free wings (Fridays, 5pm-7pm) and—most importantly—an above-average selection of beer. Smokers will find a small backyard for their nicotine pursuits.
My friend got thrown out of this place during a party for being wrongly accused of sharing an open bottle of liquor in the bar. He doesn't drink and hadn't ordered a drink all night. He was, however, the only black person in the bar. Draw your own conclusions. On top of this, the place grossly overcharges for anything but the nasty tap beer, so if you're going to pay $40 for 4 shots, you can do that at a much nicer bar than this. There are far better places to spend your night than at this low-class, racist dive.
