"Many Irish pubs in NYC are at least 50% sports bar. An Beal Bocht, on the other hand, feels like a cottage where you can socialize with your neighbors and hear about how their grandkids are doing at school. This Riverdale spot started out as a booze-less cafe back in the ’60s, but it currently has a full bar, in addition to an old stone fireplace and a boat hanging from the ceiling. Most nights, there’s some kind of performance—like music and storytelling—that you can enjoy with a side of fish and chips." - bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, neha talreja, sonal shah
