The Blarney Stone:
It’s cafeteria-meets-dive-bar in this out-of-the-way establishment at the very bottom of Manhattan. Seriously, it’s a big trek south, but you can’t miss the bright green awning announcing the Irishness of the bar in the distance. A true “Place for the People,” there’s a dining area reminiscent of a college cafeteria. It’s a frat guy’s wet dream—noshing on burgers and fries on a plastic tray while chugging a Guinness—but it’s also a reliable place for locals and regulars to sip away workday woes or just catch up. A giant mural of downtown and the World Trade Center covers the back wall, and brightly lit stained glass panels above the bar cast some colorful light.
The Blarney Stone has been renovated and is spectacular. No longer is it "frat boy" or cafeteria-esque, the new establishment is modern, classic and boasts many new amenities. Shecky's needs an updated review for sure.
