O'Hara's:
The gaudy yellow and green neon sign that acts as a beacon for O’Hara’s is pretty indicative of the bar’s innards. Awkward mirrors disorient, and an intrusive A/C unit ominously looms from the center of the ceiling, threatening the imbibers who pass beneath. The bar is large, divided into a few compartments including an upstairs area for diners to indulge in bland and obvious choices. The seating seems to have been borrowed from a mismatched lunch-counter spot, and the seats are often occupied by out-of-towners who stumble upon the bar after shooting rolls of film on the tragic footprint to the north. The ambiance goads bartenders to mistreat customers. (It is, perhaps, charming to have your change slammed on the bar, no?)
Had a brilliant time in O'Hara's when we visited last October from England. All the staff were great the food was fine and the other drinkers were very friendly and went out of their way to make us feel at home. It made such an impression that when we visit NYC again over the coming months we have decided that we want to stay in the same area just so we can go to the bar in the evenings.

You must have had too much to drink before you went into O'Hara's. You could not be more wrong about everything. It is NOT a hipster bar and that is a GODD THING. Great crowd. Great drinks. Fantastic bartenders, esp. PAUL. This place is the best place to hang out. I only wish I lived closer.
