| - We only stopped by Clancy's to kill an hour and have a drink (or two). The patio looked inviting, filled with people enjoy themselves. And, once it got dark, it was illuminated by christmas lights. I am a sucker for decorative lighting (hence the purple christmas lighting that I leave up year-round).
Since we were only doing drinks though, we opted for the bar. I was satisfied with their well-stocked varieties of fruity flavored liquors. I am a girl. I will admit it: I like girly drinks. I was immediately drawn to their "cereal shooter" menu, which included seven or eight shooters that mimicked cereal flavors. I got the "Trix" flavor, which was Rumchata, raspberry vodka, orange vodka and blue curacao. Although there are quite a few ingredients, the drink lives up to its name - it is a shooter - there is not much to savor. However, it also really does taste like it promises, so I do recommend these if you like leftover sugary cereal milk.
The place is pretty small yet there were a lot of televisions. This is a great thing if you love watching sports! I am not much of a sports person, so more reasoning why next time I will sit outside.
Towards the end of our hour, we were approached by an angry man wearing sunglasses and talking loudly and rudely. We were oblivious that he was talking loudly and rudely to *us*. It had something to do with his contempt for New York and itchiness. However, I don't mind a little drama when I am out and about, and the staff handled it really well. If anything, it was a bonding moment for us and the follow patrons at the bar. Normal people unite!!
I would go back to Clancy's (to order food and sit outside). It had a good vibe, good staff and were not stingy with their Maraschino cherries at the bar.
