The Irish bar is a New York institution that has been around at least since the mid-19th century, when McSorley's was founded.Back then it was nothing special, and entire neighborhoods like the East Village, Chelsea, Murray Hill, and the Lower West Side were carpeted with them.The typical Irish bar early on featured homemade suds, but gradually imported and domestic beers came to replace them, with a growing emphasis on Guinness and the temperature at which it's served.
