Wary of the usual Midtown madhouse that is St. Patrick’s Day, we hopped the L to Williamsburg and landed at my N. 6th go-to Zablozki’s. A favorite of mine for its no-frills, high-ceilinged, open interior and $3 Yuengling drafts at happy hour.
As it turns out the Yuengling is four bucks now, but on this day, so were a bunch of Irish tasties like Smithwick’s and Guinness, so this softened the blow. PBRs were also two bucks a pop. The three of us grabbed our seats at got to the gettin’. The bartender was indifferent but friendly and seemed to appreciate our smiling faces and dollar bills. She was mindful of our empty pints and a second round followed in short order. Tips in cash on the bar – the “rules” were being followed.
Paddy Saint’s day in hipster town? A buyback blessing or a curse? More after the jump…
