Review: Bull McCabe's on May 19

Bull McCabe's is a great dive bar choice in the midst of the madness on St. Mark's street in the East Village.  While I normally do not spend much time that area (due mostly to the madness), it was fun to try something new. 

They have great happy hour specials that last til 7:00pm...$3 rolling rock, natty lights, and cans of BOMB beer, $4 bottles of bud/bud light and wells, and $5 drafts.  The owner was also awesome and gave us the specials ALL NIGHT long...maybe the best deal I've been able to work out so far!  Plus, the BOMB beer was a fun experiment...apparently a new addition to their menu, and the can looks like a crazy soda can (can anyone say mountain dew) you probably could walk around in public drinkin' beer and no one be the wiser.

The bar itself offers a lot of fun and games, with a pool table, an electronic dart board, and video games in the back.

There IS an outside patio, complete with an airplane, however it is currently CLOSED. The bartender told me they don't have a fire escape, and so had to close it.  Not sure if it will re-open any time soon.  They do have a patio in the front though, even if it is pretty small.  It's great for people-watching on St. Marks!

Overall, Bull McCabe's is a great dive for a beer with a group of friends.  It never got too crowded, but it was a Thursday, and kind of a rainy crappy weather day. 

Good things to know....no food is served, but there's $1 pizza and cheap delicious falafel just across the street.  They DO take credit cards, a nice bonus for a dive bar.  The bathroom is not the best, but then again, it is a dive bar!!!

Another happy evening success, and I'm glad to say not the last one, since we all survived judgement day.  Stayed tuned for info about the next one, on Thursday June 23rd!
