Reply With QuoteOlunneys in Times Square is big, but actually run by O'Lunneys . . . good for a group.
Blarney Stone & Blarney Rock
Both near Empire State Building - Think 32nd & Broadway - City Search will have more details.
Both play decent music, have a few TVs for the ardent sports fan and seem friendly enough

All depends on what you are looking for.
You can try places like newyork.citysearch.com if you want. You may be able to get a few more ideas.
BTW, "blarney" is very common here. You may be able to find things easier by loaction than name!!!
I just looked, Blind Tiger is still trying to get their license. Damn NIMBYs!!!!!
Hairy Monk on 25th and 3rd.
Plz let me know if you find anything. I should be moving in August and Ill be 19. I dont care about drinking I just wanna PARTY! lol
Are places like Exit, Webster Hall and such still around, thats where I use to go when I was under 21. Also people in college use to throw alot of parties so there was always something going on.
Also I remember seeing on Citysearch.com having a 18+ category.
Thanks I'll see how I deal. Im pretty sure I'll find a way.
I am looking for a good Irish Bar in Manhattan that plays Rock and some Irish Jams .. serves plenty of Irish Whisky been in love with that Whisky for a few years now
will be in NYC mid January
actually I like good old Rock N Roll Dives as long as the music is good and the drinks are flowing ..
Theres the Playwright near Times Square and Ulysses' near Hanover square in Lower Manhattan if you want nicer Irish bars. There are so many around the city you can probably find one you'll like by just walking around. Heres a link with a pretty thorough list:

In 2007, Saint Patrick's Day falls on a Saturday. Come to New York on the 16th and spend the weekend here. Go to the Saint Patrick's Day parade in Manhattan. All other times, roam around from one bar/club to the other -- most of them will be playing Irish music, some live. It will seem as if all of New York is Irish. You'll have a terrific time.Originally Posted by raycanales

Lol, just kidding :P
ELEVATOR PLUNGE KILLS CLUBGOER
PARTIER KNOCKED INTO SHAFT IN FIGHT WITH STAFFER

February 4, 2007 -- A Bronx man celebrating his birthday plunged five floors to his death down an elevator shaft yesterday at the swanky Chelsea nightclub BED, after being knocked through the door by a club employee he fought with, police said.
The rumble between Orlando Valle, 35, and a club floor manager erupted at around 4 a.m. near the coat-check counter of the sixth-floor club on West 27th Street.
It ended with Valle crashing through the nearby elevator door and landing on the top of the elevator car five floors below, police said.
Early this morning club worker Granville Adams, 43, of Clinton Street in The Bronx was charged with criminally negligent homicide for his role in the incident.
A cop examines the elevator shaft
where the tragedy occurred.
The trouble started when Valle's underage friend - identified by sources as Tiffany Turner, 20 - got into an argument with a coat-check girl.
When the floor manager stepped in, Valle got involved and the confrontation became physical with punches were exchanged, police said.
As the two sparred, Valle, of Soundview, was knocked into the closed elevator door so hard that the bottom edge slipped off its runner and swung inward, sending him plummeting to his death, officials said.
DEATH BED: Orlando Valle, with his son, Jordan.
Club worker Granville Adams was charged last night
with criminally negligent homicide in Valle's death.
Friends said Valle, a mailroom employee at the publishing company W.W. Norton & Co., was not violent and had just been trying to protect Turner.
"Orlando was trying to de-escalate things," said one of the 10 pals Valle had been celebrating with. "He was trying to get her to get her coat and go. The bouncer came and pushed her down."
How Turner got into the club - which has a strict 21-and-over policy and aggressively employs ID scanners - is not clear. A spokeswoman for BED did not return calls for comment.
A sobbing Turner declined to comment as she left the police station house yesterday afternoon.
BED, best known for accommodating its patrons on actual beds and was once featured on an episode of "Sex and the City," has been a trouble spot in the neighborhood, according to the local community board.
"BED is a problem for us," said John Weis, the board's business and licensing committee co-chairman.
A spokesman for the State Liquor Authority did not return calls for comment.
A spokeswoman for the Department of Buildings said the elevator had been cited for six violations dating back to 1989, but none of them were serious.
Valle's death left his son, Jordan, 13, devastated. "He was my best friend. He was everything in my life," the boy said.
Valle's father, Felipe, 57, said his son did not get into fights and had just been out to have a good time.
"He is not the type to get into altercations. He's a gentle guy," he said. "He didn't believe in the abuse of women. It was not what he was taught. Stepping in was the gentlemanly thing to do."
Last year, Valle was shot in the neck in his neighborhood, and he was arrested in 2004 for drug possession, the sources said.

Best Clubs for Saturday/Sunday night
Hi,
I'm going to New York for 3 nights on St Patricks weekend and I was hoping to get some reccomendations for nightclubs for the saturday/sunday night. I've been doing some researching for the best clubs but what I seem to get is the 'VIP' clubs like Marquee, Pink Elephant, etc but is it really feasible (assuming you even get in the door) to enjoy yourself in a club like this for under $200? I just want a nice place where I can dance late into the night and enjoy some drinks. Can anyone advise me for/against these clubs or recommend any others?? I'm staying around East 51st, lexington ave. but I really dont mind jumping in a cab and travelling down quite a bit.
Thanks in advance for any help!
My advice for St. Patty's Day is go to a bar/club that isn't usually very popular. On St. Patty's everybody in the entire city and the surrounding area is out, as well as people on spring break, so the hot clubs are going have a long wait, and there is no need because even the crummiest dive is going to be wall to wall people and its going to be a good time. Last year I actually partied at local bars in your area, not known for its night life and had a great time, just go bar-hopping close to home on 2nd avenue.
Thanks! So there is nowhere in particular that you would recommend? I guess I'll prob end up what I do in Galway on Paddy's Day - stick my head in the door and see if the craziness is to my liking! I'm terrible for planning things and usually just wing it but with such little time in NY I've been attempting to plan a little!
