Although, as the regulars would tend to agree, any day is a good day for a pint o' Guinness. Enthusiastic patrons most with the obligatory Irish brogue surround the bar whenever "real" football is on the air. Unless you get to the Ale House early enough, expect to wait a while to enjoy the pool table or to toss a round of cricket. TRAIN: 6 to 23rd St

Brothers Swift and Ulysses keep folks in the East Village and Lower East Side, respectively, well stocked with Guinness Stout, fish & chips, and cottage pie.

The pub boasts several cozy nooks and crannies (good for ducking into if you need a quick breather), and its high, beamed ceilings creates the illusion that the space is larger and more wide open than it actually is. From time to time, it's not uncommon to step in and find an Irish band playing on the balcony stage. TRAIN: B, D, F, V to Broadway-Lafayette St; N, R to Prince St.; 6 to Bleecker St

718-625-9741 | | | | | Description: BROOKLYN. Locals cherish this corner dive for its casual atmosphere, impressive beer selection and top-flight juke box, alone worth the train ride to Boerum Hill. Dark and pubby, the place has been the preferred haunt of many British expats since it first poured a pint. In fact, the long-running rumor is the inn itself is an immigrant, disassembled, shipped and reassembled in the decade following the Civil War. Legends and rumors aside, the fact remains that, like the pubs in London, the Brooklyn Inn is the type of place that helps distinguish its neighborhood, serving as a sort of friendly, after-hours visitor center. TRAIN: F, G to Bergen St
