About

In the not-quite-Gramercy-not-quite-Stuy-Town stretch that is Second Avenue just north of the East Village, a good drinking spot is hard to find. McSwiggan's, a low-key joint, wouldn't know a scene if it walked in. The crowd's a mix of odd locals and youngish post-college types. There are a couple of TV screens for the sports fans and friendly bartenders, as well as billiards and darts. What really seals the deal, though, are the nightly knock-you-off-your-feet drink specials.
