Pints and Jukebox Songs for an Uptown Night
Drinking ranges from Guinness at a compact Irish pub to local lager and Vermont beers with snacks. Both rooms keep the lighting low. Earl's closes earlier on Sunday than on Friday and Saturday.
Upper Manhattan Bar Stools
A Stool After Midnight
Trinity Pub stays open until 4:00 AM every night. Weekend service begins at 3:00 PM. Its compact Upper East Side room has a wooden counter and bar stools. A jukebox provides the music. Order a Guinness or a hazelnut-chilled espresso cocktail from the bar. Happy hour runs from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Entry is free, whether the plan is an afternoon drink or a late nightcap.
Park Avenue Before Last Call
House-made beer cheese comes with bread at Earl's Beer & Cheese in East Harlem. Its maximum of twenty taps includes local lager and Vermont beers. The room has low lighting and Christmas lights. Friday and Saturday service ends at 1:00 AM. The bar closes at 10:00 PM on Sunday. Tater tots offer another option alongside a drink. Staff can suggest a beer based on your preferences and help narrow the choices.
Two Neighborhoods, Distinct Appetites
Trinity Pub and Earl's Beer & Cheese share a taste for low lighting, but their menus give them different identities. The Upper East Side pub centers on Guinness, an espresso cocktail and a jukebox in a compact room. Its East Harlem counterpart puts house-made beer cheese beside local lager and Vermont selections. The contrast is in the glass and on the table, a familiar Irish pub pour at the first, a beer and cheese pairing with snacks at the second.
