Landmark Tavern
In 1868 Patrick Henry Carley opened his Landmark Tavern, an Irish Waterfront Saloon. In those days there was no 12th Avenue, just the shores of the Hudson, on which his Tavern sat. Mr. and Mrs. Carley designed their new saloon to also be a practical home for their children on the second and third floors.
This remained as such until prohibition forced them to turn the third floor into a speakeasy. As one of the oldest continually operating establishments in the City today, The Landmark Tavern still retains its classic old New York charm.

What a find! It's an out-of-the way Irish bar where people come because they like it. No foot traffic. No tourists. Just a bunch of friendly folks who look like they've grown up with each other. They have their own beer (probably contract made) and Smithwick's on tap. They've got the usual bar food, with the Buffalo wings less greasy than in most places. It's a great unpretentious pub... the kind of place you don't want to write about because you're afraid other people might find it and spoil it!
