Leitrim House

Although I live a block away, I only "fell" into this place a few weeks ago.

It is entirely non-descript. I actually thought it was a private club house type of deal and so never bothered to enter it!

It is as divey as dive bars go. If you want something chic, don't go here. Truly, the charm is in its unpretentiousness. There's no school like the old school, you know? The crowd is mostly Irish locals and regulars, and there is a good age range here. And they are the nicest people you could ever meet. The bartender too, is completely cool.

You can't get more community than Leitrim House. So happy I found it.

Filthy dirty little hole in the wall with a few bar flys. Uggg.

What a great local bar. Discovered this place on Yelp as on of the dive bars near Sunnyside (technically it is in Woodside because it is on the south side of 48th Ave). A little bit older crowd, but very friendly, chatty, and welcoming.

The place has a pool table but it was covered with a sheet of ply wood because they had a make-shift buffet set up for one of the regular's birthday. There is also a shuffle board bowling game, but it looks like it is out of commission. Then there are two electronic games in the back but I didn't take much time to investigate.

Beers are around 4-5 bucks and whiskey starts at $6. The bartender was fantastic. I'll go back to Leitrim just to see him.
