A survival tip: In order to be
seated at
McSorley's, you'll need to
bribe the
maitre d'. The core
staff of this
bar also apparently has
problems with folks of
darker skin, so beware (yes, this is from personal experience, and no, I wasn't
drunk or being
obnoxious). This fact, I find, is usually not denied but simply avoided by all McSorley's fans with whom I've discussed the pub. I completely understand that if it's your favorite bar, and it doesn't apply to you, you might want to turn
a blind eye; however, I feel I should warn those who might venture in to the
establishment seeking a bit of
fun and a tasty
draught (they are) that there are
issues to be aware of.
The cats just rock, however, and make wonderful lap-warming purrboxes to entertain you while you're drinking.
