I first came to this Soho spot earlier this year and fell in love with the Irish bartender on a Wednesday night. This place was pretty slow at 3am on a Wednesday but I was assured by the bartender to come back on a Saturday when its busy. So I did and I had a great time. My friends and I quickly became regulars on the weekend nights to dance all night long to a pretty fun DJ and the weekday nights to hang out with our favorite bartender in New York City. The place itself seems very confused as to what its trying to be. A club or a sports bar? The food is a little awful at this joint so you're better off picking up a slice of pizza across the street. Sadly I spent my summer in LA and returned to find out that my favorite bartender had moved on. Infact most of the staff have moved on which is never good. They have a high turnover at this place. I would only go to the firefly if I was in Soho on a Saturday night and didn't want to pay a cover charge. There is so many better places around. I live on spring street and the Spring lounge is my new spot. The Firefly will never be the same for me without Rob Murphy.
Pros: my favorite bartender in the city used to work here.
Cons: my favorite bartender in the city used to work here.
