Bua

Before it was Bua, this St. Marks Place space operated as Sin'é, the Irish cafe where Jeff Buckley, Shane MacGowan and Sinéad O'Connor once played in the 1990s. Today it's a simple, no-fuss pub: a menu of sandwiches and fried food, a decent beer list, and a kitchen that stays open until 2am. The outdoor booths are some of the best people-watching seats on the block, and happy hour on weekdays discounts well drinks and cocktails.
