"The Parkgate is a pub built for the West Village. It has your typical trappings like brick walls and Guinness, but it also smells nice and plays Vampire Weekend. The place is a step up from your average burgers-and-pints destination, so if you’re looking for a civilized spot to gather with a group, it’s perfect for that. There are plenty of tables you can book in advance, and the cocktails are very respectable. Drink a martini, and get some tuna tartare or steak frites to go with it. Just keep in mind that this is a West Village bar, which means it gets packed on weekends. photo credit: Sabrina Harrison photo credit: Sabrina Harrison photo credit: Sabrina Harrison Pause Unmute RESERVE A TABLE" - Bryan Kim
