Grand Central Cocktail Lounge

I used to go here quite frequently in 1996-2002 but i moved . and no longer a party animal. i loved this bar and rolando was great he always use to make me laugh.

Horrible place to hang out!!

This is your quintessential dive bar.  We went here in search of beer after a dim sum brunch up the street.  While this place won't win any awards in the olfactory department (smelled more like stale beer then urine) - it definitely has character.

We had 2 babies in our party and Rolando couldn't get over to our table fast enough to greet us.  How often does THAT happen? ( We were summarily kicked out of one of the bars at the W for having an "underage" group member.)  What a delightful guy.  Proceeded to stump us with his trivia questions.  The old timers at the bar were eavesdropping - clearly they're familiar with the routine.  

This place probably hasn't changed in the 60 years its been open but who cares. It ws just what we needed on a sunny cold winter's day.  A warm welcome and a cold beer!
