McSorley's Old Ale House

New York · USA · Pub · Grusel 2/5

"Be Good or Be Gone" – in New York's oldest Irish saloon Houdini's handcuffs still hang from the bar rail, and founder John McSorley is said to keep watch over the sawdust.

Since the mid-1800s, McSorley's on East 7th Street has served its ale in double mugs under the motto "Be Good or Be Gone". The interior is a frozen moment: sawdust on the floor, Houdini's handcuffs locked to the bar rail, and dusty wishbones hung over the bar by soldiers heading off to the First World War – those who never returned never took them down. Founder John McSorley is said to still make his rounds; staff closing alone hear footsteps on the stairs and catch the scent of an old pipe. A ghostly cat, regulars insist, brushes along the floor where the saloon's famous cats always slept. Women were only admitted in 1970 – and some claim, half-seriously, that the old Irishman's disapproving sighs can still be heard.
