Deacon Brodie's, New York

Set smack in the middle of the tourist maelstrom that is the Theater District, Deacon Brodie's offers comfortable asylum from it all. Despite its location on Restaurant Row, Deacon's doesn't serve any food, but does offer thirst-quenching respite in a calming atmosphere. Deacon's decor exudes warmth with the muted paintings and gilded-frame mirrors decorating the exposed brick walls. The entire place is dreamily lit with votive candles, including some in the two fireplaces set against the wall. In addition to ample seating at the classic wooden bar, there is comfortable sofa and bench seating throughout. It's the kind of place that reminds you of what a pub should be, a warm and friendly place for a pint. Try to stop by during the day or early evening as at night the place gets more crowded, and the blasting jukebox cancels out some of the more charming aspects of the place.
