A bar · Upper West Side · on two of my lists

The Dead Poet.

Worth it, says Antonina. The pub’s appeal as one of the best Irish pubs in New York City lies in its extensive beer selection, both on draft and canned.

What I wrote thereFold it away

Opened by a former high school English teacher, The Dead Poet is inspired by cozy Irish pubs, making it one of the most laid-back bars on the Upper West Side. Literature-themed decor, including portraits of famous authors, adds to the charm.

While snack options are limited to popcorn and hot dogs, you can bring your own food from nearby restaurants. However, it’s the impressive selection of draft and canned beers, along with cleverly-themed cocktails inspired by classic books, that make The Dead Poet stand one of the best bars in the Upper West Side.
