The Scene
This charming Irish pub pulls off the impossible: 12 TVs are on hand to sate the sports fan, but they're placed in two unobtrusive rows--easily visible, but just high enough on either side of the bar so as not to intrude on the relaxation of other drinkers. Thus, without a whit of atmosphere compromised, Bailey's achieves the perfect living room feel, complete with tin ceilings, wood floors, green boothsand a gem of a varnished, antique wood bar.

The Draw
The only time the crowds near capacity is during wintertime weekends. Most other times, folks seeking haven in a peaceful pint and a chat should look no further.

Bailey's Corner Pub:
Polished and updated, Bailey’s Corner Pub hardly shows its 50 years. Blond wood lightens up the spacious interior, and deep green upholstered booths are good-looking and comfy. Two arcade games collect dust in the back, but the front boasts a large retractable wide screen to captivate weekend patrons; if you haven’t got a good view, there are two rows of mounted televisions on both sides of the bar to help you get your Chris Berman fix. Bailey’s also offers some of the best happy hour specials on the block: $2 Bud Light, $2 Coors Light, and $3 Miller drafts. This is one of the most comfortable places to see a game in the neighborhood. Now if they could just get the Knicks to start winning.
