IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK . . .

Peter McManus Café is a port in the storm in a rapidly changing city. Holding fast on the northwest corner of 19th Street and 7th Avenue since 1936, McManus is one of the oldest and best bars in New York City, providing great food, drinks and memories to generations of New Yorkers. Wander in on any given day and you will find yourself at home. McManus is that rare neighborhood bar with universal appeal—a microcosm of all that makes New York City great. Pull up a stool and order a pint, the conversation and laughs flow as easily as the Guinness on tap! There is also a dining room in the back with plenty of seating to enjoy lunch, dinner, drinks and laughter.

If these walls could talk, there wouldn’t be a dry seat in the house! As the oldest family-run bar in New York City, McManus has seen its fair share of triumph and tragedy through the years. We were here when the Yankees were known as the Highlanders and the Met Life Tower was the tallest building in the world! (And yes—that is a bullet hole in the stained glass cabinet behind the bar. Come in and ask Jamo McManus what happened there—he’d rather not commit it to print!)
