Review of Ear Inn

There are many debates about which is the oldest bar in New York, and with its 1870s origins and landmark status, Ear Inn is a serious contender for that crown. On the far west of superchic SoHo, this pub is an old-school relief. They pull an excellent Guinness and make a surprisingly good margarita. Live music and Saturday poetry readings often make this small bar feel even smaller. In warm weather, a few tables are set up outside. Note: Respect the no-cellphone policy or suffer the consequences.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
