If you've read my review of Joshua Tree then you're still in the Murray Hill area of Manhattan (east 30s). While you're there, if you want a place to relax after the Joshua Tree madhouse, Head up to the corner to 3rd and Long. It's a sports bar which is not common for that area. It's more open and roomier inside compared to the sardine can you just left. The drinks may be just a bit cheaper, but given the neighborhood - not by much.
The biggest difference you'll notice is the dress. This place is for the jeans crowd that still wants to hang out in an area laden with doormen manned apartment buildings. If you're not into dives (as much of a dive as Murray Hill can have) then you won't like this place. It's not a stop after being at Joshua Tree, usually a separate occasion. Go here for beer, "J Tree" for mixed drinks.
