Phil Hughes Bar
4.4 (241)bar
An Upper East Side fixture since 1957, this relaxed Irish pub keeps it classic with a pool table, darts, and a friendly neighborhood vibe.
Description




Patrons often note a Cheers-like warmth here, with friendly interactions spanning both sides of the counter. The open-air seating outside offers a prime spot for people-watching and mingling. The bar keeps its rules simple and accommodating, letting guests bring their own food to pair with cold pints of Guinness. Just plan ahead for transactions: the establishment is cash-only, though an ATM is available on-site.
