The Mayfly

Created by the team behind Juke Bar, Gael Pub, and Trinity Pub, this East Houston Street spot features food made with high-end local ingredients, including a good burger. The weekly lineup includes trivia nights and dollar wings, alongside an all-you-can-drink brunch on weekends. While the staff is welcoming, the space is prone to occasional crowding and slower refills during peak hours, with music kept at a volume that lets you focus on the table.
