McSorley's Old Ale House

This legendary East Village dive is old-school—more than 150 years old, to be exact. Purportedly the City’s oldest Irish tavern, McSorley’s has found itself a place in pop-culture history—the legendary pub has served suds to luminaries including Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Woody Guthrie. The memorabilia on the bar’s walls includes a pair of handcuffs that belonged to Houdini—feel free to admire them as you sip from a selection of the bar’s draft beers.
