In Short
A mostly local crowd of yuppie 30-something professionals and local sports fanatics schmooze before, during and after the game at this lively tavern. With eight 50-inch flat screen TVs, a pool table, dartboard and video boxing game, Soldier McGee is for those who like some entertainment with their booze. There are 20 beers on tap and a menu of snacks and appetizers, so even if you do decide to sit still, you won't be disappointed.
Hits: While sports fans will enjoy watching the game, the laid-back vibe will appeal to everyone. Plus, it's open later than most of the other bars nearby.
Misses: It's hard to differentiate this from the countless other sports bars that line Amsterdam Avenue; pick a bar, any bar.
