Lexington Publick

"The Rochard is a craft beer bar that’s very close to Earl’s and has all of their taps attached to an old (non-functional) bathtub. They do Happy Hour on Sundays starting at 4pm and there are plenty of booths where your friends can get in fights over a who gets to be Colonel Mustard in your game of Clue." - hannah albertine

"Think of The Rochard as an exceptional neighborhood bar that happens to have a giant leather booth, a big beer selection, and some food that’s less sad than what you typically find at a casual drinking establishment. If you recently moved to the UES and are still adjusting to life uptown, stop by for a burger and beer, and pretend that you’re within walking distance of Tompkins Square Park." - bryan kim, matt tervooren

"While this is mostly a craft beer bar, you can still eat things like wings, tacos, flatbreads, and nachos along with your double IPA on the outdoor patio. The Rochard is open from 2pm to 10pm Tuesday through Sunday, so if you’re looking to spend a weekday afternoon outside of the sauna you once called your apartment, this is a great spot to know about." - hannah albertine, nikko duren
