Cool bar. One bartender though - service wasn’t great but/c of that. I would come back, and adjust my rating if better staffed and less crowded. Cheers.
A bar that turns primarily into a listening room on Sunday night. The audience is quiet and attentive.
Cute little spot that’s perfect for cold, rainy days. The hot spiked cider is great.
Have a Guinness and powers but don’t call me in the morning
Great service and atmosphere. Came only for drinks, but the bartender was extremely friendly and considerate. A lovely hole-in-the-wall place for people looking to catch a quick drink (or several)
We found this place by accident after it was clear there'd be no room at McSorleys a couple of blocks away (New Year's weekend, of course). A dim but warm Irish pub with a comfortable, welcoming feel. Great beers served by a nice bartender! We stayed a couple of hours, just needing a refuge after having walked the city all day, and it was perfect. No food - just beer and whiskey in a great atmosphere. I could tell it would tune up later with music and singing from communal tables. A great place where we'll return for sure.
We love the scratcher. Mature college + crowd. Good mix of age and background... Very cozy. Good value. We have been before and will go again.
The Scratcher is a nice little bar located in the East Village! The atmosphere inside of this place is so cozy & the staff are attentive. They made me a great margarita - I definitely recommend this spot!
