The first time the bartender was awesome (big D or something the like), the second time a different guy (Brian/night manager) could've cared less about having small talk, however he kept our drinks full and wasn't rude, so I can't really complain.
Their late-night happy hour rocks with $2-3 call drinks and delicious draft pints from Ellis Island Brewery.
*note---the lettering on the front of the establishment says YORKY'S, but a smaller banner underneath lets you know that this is now a Village Pub.
