East Village, Manhattan · bar
A scratcher is Dublin slang for bed, and it’s fitting. Here’s the kind of East Village bar you sink into and forget to leave. Pew-like wooden benches, dim lighting, an actual whiskey list, and bartenders who can spot a rowdy patron from across the room. Live music runs Sunday nights starting at 7.
Coffee, Irish whiskey, cream — a Scratcher staple
