Old Town Bar

The Old Town Bar has been serving drinks near Union Square since 1892. It also purports to have the city 's oldest dumbwaiter and 102-year-old urinals in the men's room. - From Eater NY

German beer . Large wings . Small potato salad . Extra celery and blue cheese . Date night complete. And make sure to check out the historic men's room!

Love it! It's conveniently located at Union Square, and there is plenty of room for large groups. We ate some fantastic turkey burgers (juicy!) and really great BLTs

Loved the old New York vibe. Prices are decent, good selection of beers and traditional bar meals.

This place is a staple for me during the holidays. Avoid the crowds and sit upstairs. Order a cheeseburger (preferably with Muenster ) and a seasonal beer . Be ready to be transported to food heaven.

This is old time NY. Great simple bar food and cold drinks. Service is always good so enjoy this place for what it is, a great neighborhood bar .

Try the vegan burger . It's amazing. HA! Fooled you. Reward yourself after the crap day you've had with a bona fide whiskey . It'll help you come to grips with your pathetic existence.

The Old Town Burger is a no-frills, diner style burger with a savory griddle grease finish to it. Not the best burger , I would go elsewhere. Read the full review at: http://bit.ly/14A2Zp6.

Go for the craft beer , grilled sandwiches , bomb burgers , and amazing, friendly staff .????

Located in the Gramercy/Flatiron District, this restaurant (with a bar on the first floor) has the most delicious melt-in-your-mouth cheeseburgers I have ever tasted! Comfortable , clean , and friendly !

As old school as it gets. If you like vintage, historic hangs.

Founded in 1892, The Old Town Bar was run as a speak-easy by Tammany Hall during Prohibition . It is also home to New York's oldest active dumbwaiters !

If you're near Union Square, this is where you want to grab a brew. And while you're there, be sure to check out the oldest urinals in New York (don't worry, they've cleaned them regularly).

Great classic wings . Nachos are good too.

Check out the autographed VHS box on the wall, for the film "Q&A" starring NICK NOLTE, TIMOTHY HUTTON & ARMAND ASSANTE. "When the questions are dangerous, the answers can be deadly"

Great burgers ! Vintage decor two thumbs up! And John was super awesome!

No nonsense old skool bar and great burgers . I like mine medium rare with a side of slaw . Bartenders are all mad chill .

I'd fight a pack of wolves in the middle of the woods during a blizzard for the chicken wings here

"Old Town Bar boasts a modern list of literary heavies as its customers including Frank McCourt, Seamus Heaney, Nick Hornby and Billy Collins." (via @ShelfAwareness)

Flatiron saloon is one of the most ancient places to imbibe in town : It’s been pouring drinks steadily since 1892—even operating during Prohibition as a speakeasy .

Very good stiff mixed drinks at a reasonable price. A combination that is hard to find in most big cities . The place has a lot of character!

You can hide things under your seat in the booths . The women's bathroom is inconvenient to get to. It's very clear that Men were top of the list when this place was designed. Old, warm vibe.

Literary boozers including Frank McCourt (a signed copy of his Angela’s Ashes is displayed above one of the booths ), Nick Hornby, Seamus Heaney and Billy Collins—have sidled up to long mahogany bar .

Established 1892 and continuously operated. Most of the furnishings and decor are original, including New York's oldest dumbwaiter and iconic urinals. The original menu was German influenced.

Good wings , friendly bartenders

Lovely spot for a beer and happy hour , lives up to the name and is a bit old looking and traditional

This place is a real gem. Very old school, nice staff , very authentic and best burger I've had in New York!

Wings are perfectly sauced and pretty large. Could always be hotter but I am usually happy when I leave

This place is super authentic , you can tell it's really old. Very chill and comfortable , and a good bar good menu.

Ask the bartender Fitz for his opinion on the Islanders, Kennedys and old Chinese women.

Cold beer and large servings of food in one really old bar that is a must place to check-in at

Friendliest bartenders in the city . Also, coolest dumb waiter . A must for experiencing true New York bar history.

This place was a speakeasy during Prohibition called Craig's Restaurant . Want proof? Check out the booths that have seats that lift up in case you need to hide your booze quickly from the authorities.

Don’t leave without visiting the restroom on the ground floor. Trust us, you’ll be very impressed. Read more

The bathrooms are like taking a p#ss back in the late 1800's. The wings are amazing.

This is a great bar . Busy on weekends with decent bar food .

Classic no-frills pre-Prohibition bar . A solid NYC original not trying too hard to impress. Grab a pint.

Perfect for a beer or two and good America style food.

Classic old New York establishment. They serve beer by the pitcher in addition to by the pint.

Visiting The Andy Monument ? If you're hungry, head to #StaffPick Old Town Bar. We recommend the sauteed mushrooms and muenster cheese on pumpernickel bread aka "Governor's Choice."

Such a cosy bar ! And everything is so well priced, also the staff is so friendly !!

Burgers & beer ! The little buttons in the wall at each of the booths don't work anymore, so don't bother the waitstaff asking about them.

Sit at the north end of the bar and marvel at the food pulley system making cheeseburgers magically appear

Get their wings . Very good flavor without being insanely spicy .

Some of the best burgers around. To boot this bar has been serving people since 1892, originally a speak easy during prohibition times. Make sure to check out the fully marble bar .

Very cold beer . Big brewers - Bells, Lagunitas , Sierra Nevada - but reliable and great atmosphere

This place is a reaaaaal throwback, but the food and beer is good. An essential New York venue.

Finally some reasonably priced beers in the city ! Great spot for a casual hang out

classic historic bar . love stopping in here from time to time.

They have some if the best buffalo wings in NYC!!! You must try them!
