Nine Fine Irishmen Happy Hour. The Strip

The bar itself is the draw here: dark wood and a whiskey shelf deep enough to keep you reading labels while your Guinness settles. Nine Fine Irishmen sits inside New York-New York, right off the casino floor, and it feels nothing like the slot din twenty feet away. Order the fish and chips or the steak pot pie and you will understand why the kitchen has a following. Head upstairs and look for the bar covered in first responder patches left by visitors from all over the country.

The weekday afternoon window, Monday through Thursday from 2 to 5, is when the pub is calmest and cheapest. Our last check found a burger and fries deal with a cheap draft add-on, though staff have reportedly been inconsistent about honoring it lately, so ask before you order. Doors are open from 11 in the morning until well past midnight, later on weekends, which makes it a reliable landing spot after a long Strip walk.
