Station Cafe

Came here for a quick drink. The bar was full but the rest of the place was empty (pool, standing room etc).

Looks like the bar was full of regular drinkers. The waitress was nice and I was happy with my drink.

Good place to go to, especially if you're waiting for a train. It's a 30 second walk from bar stool to train track. Cheap drinks (2 tonic & gins and a Magner's were under $15), unpretentious atmosphere, and a friendly bartender. It's out of my way, but if I'm ever nearby again (or waiting for a train), I'll stop in.

The jukebox is, rather unfortunately, not free.  This may cause you to give the bar a low rating if you happen to be a moron.

If however you're a normal person, you might really like The Station Cafe.  It's old school New York and friendly.  I watched the election of Pope Francis here (not on purpose) which made for some pretty hilarious banter.  The bar is dark, presumably because if the wife catches you in here again, you're fucked.  Top marks for showing football (soccer) and keeping bottles in ice troughs, but also because a man came in with a Jack Russell who promptly scurried over to an old Irish guy at the end of the bar who heartily greeted the hound with 'Ah Seamus!'
