Last week, we got word that The Hairy Monk had closed, following a dispute with its landlord (aren’t these disputes happening an awful lot of late?\u00a0 We digress — full DNAinfo story here<\/a>).\u00a0 The Hairy Monk was a solid spot for Third Avenue NYC sports bar crawl (and, if you’re a Boston fan, one of the few spots for the Boston-friendly NYC pub crawl).\u00a0 We had been to Hairy Monk several times over the years.\u00a0 Good bar food and a decent tap beer selection.\u00a0 The bar will be missed.<\/p>\n

When one bar closes, there’s another one that opens.\u00a0 In this particular instance, we are talking about a new spot on the Lower East Side called Two Bit’s retro arcade, now open at 153 Essex Street (read the full story here<\/a>).\u00a0 The spot is supposed to have 1980s video games for a quarter play, along with craft beer and wine.\u00a0 If this formula sounds familiar, it’s because you’re likely a big fan of Barcade in Brooklyn.\u00a0 We love Barcade and if Two Bit’s can replicate what Barcade has done, then we will be very happy.\u00a0 In addition, Two Bit’s has the potential to replace the one of the two spots on the LES craft beer NYC pub crawl that closed approximately a year ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What are your thoughts on the closing of Hairy Monk and the opening of Two Bit’s.\u00a0 Please leave us a comment!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
