The Sefton, a standout Irish pub, is among the best bars on the Upper East Side, popular for its generous pours of Guinness. While they offer cocktails and wine, it’s the perfect spot for a simple brew.
The Sefton is not you’re traditional Irish pub but more elevated. The Guiness is still here but the cocktails are a bit too nice and the setting too modern for what you’d expect at your typical pub.
Enjoy a generous happy hour from 11 AM to 7 PM with $5 domestic bottles and $9 margaritas.
Something to know: The Sefton is named after a horse that was seriously injured in the Hyde Park Bombings in London. The horse remarkably regained its health and became a symbol of defiance against terrorism, even winning Horse of the Year in 1982.
The Sefton is a cozy Irish pub serving proper pours of Guinness. But my favorite thing about this neighborhood haunt is the generous Upper East Side happy hour deal, which runs from 11am to 7pm and features $5 domestic bottles and $9 margaritas.
