P.J. Carney’s

The circular bar at this comfortable neighborhood fixture, established in 1927, is packed almost nightly with postshow revelers seeping out of nearby Carnegie Hall. Sketches of bar patrons by contemporary artist Robert Cenedella (he’s captured regulars at Broome Street Bar as well) add a genteel touch to the mahogany walls, but most eyes focus on TVs showing a steady stream of sports. Crispy, beer-battered fish-and-chips complement a solid list of brews—21 on tap include Guinness and Blue Moon.
