Burp Castle - Walked past this place on Saturday night, I think I would like to have a drink there sometime. Yes, thats Jesus on the wall.
i’ve been there! quite accidentally, just happened upon it one night. it was filled with weird old men and looked just as cool as the picture. almost like an old german pub (not that i’ve been to germany, but this is what i’d imagine it would look like).
burp castle is pretty alright. not a place to have anywhere near a “wild time” though, they’ll shush the shit out of you if you speak anywhere over normal speaking volume. but it is a fantastic place to go to just kick back and relax with friends and have interesting discussions (which is why it’s a favorite of nyc’s most prolific (b/v)logger-types)…just as long as you have something interesting to say and can stfu for a minute and not behave like a party-raging spazz-drunkard mess.
Burp is across the street from my apartment. I used to be pretty much in love with it, but they lost the bartender that knew me by face, and the shushing can get a bit old after a while. It kind of stresses me out.
My new favorite place is the East Village Tavern on 10th and C. Amazing beer and it’s usually not terribly crowded. The bartenders are friendly and if it’s dead enough, will offer tons of free booze. And there’s no shushing or annoying Twitter-users.
