The original "oldie but goodie", this Gramercy landmark was a "speakeasy during prohibition" and a favorite haunt of O. Henry's; it's "noisy and boisterous" at the "always-crowded" bar but "pleasant" in the back rooms, servers "work their butts off", and while "burgers and beer are their forte", many go "as much for the nostalgia" as the pub grub.
