Fine Irish bar on the East Side. Bad 80s music, a bit loud. Otherwise, friendly bar staff and waitress. Good beer choice. Big TV but not loud. The backroom is quiet and talk friendly. Jameson's at first seemed a horror story. It was me and Liz. Sitting in front, under too-loud speaker blasting bad 80s music. On a table in back of us was this white guy who wore his necktie around his head. (I would have loved to tighten it around is throat.) At odd moments he would burst into operatic drivel. Top of his lungs. Bottom of the intellectual heap. Eventually we moved and tipped the waitress extra to give the guy cement shoes and wheel him to the nearest pier. The rest of the night went well. --Drink Club is a roving group of NYC drinkers
