Peter McManus Cafe is among the oldest family owned and operated bars in New York City. Located in the heart of Chelsea at
The newspaper clipping on the wall is headlined PETER MCMANUS AND SONS: TAVERNMEN FOR MANY YEARS. The date August 23, 1948 -- when the bar had already been in business for twelve years. This explains McManus's Tiffany glass, wooden phone booths, and overall time-capsule atmosphere. These days, neighborhood workers from bike messengers and electricians to lawyers and musicians drop in to chat with James "Jamo" McManus, the founder's grandson, who is on hand nearly every night.
When Peter and Mary (Gorman) McManus left Ballinamuck, Longford, back in 1906, they could hardly have imagined that a century later, "Peter McManus" would appear in the films of Woody Allen and TV shows like Seinfeld, and be a part of New York City lore. But that's the case with The Peter McManus Cafe, the famous watering hole located at 19th Street

Another great post, Ken. What spectacular shots! I would have a martini in that place. With extra olives.
Gorgeous. I am definitely overdue on a trip to NYC...
Entrance, windows...every things are wonderful.
Great post.
Nice shots...I was a regular there from the late 70s until 84. I remember Billy the bartender, who was good friends with Vicky from the Toasters. I spent quite a few hours. Now I walk by there every once in a while, haven't been in there in almost 25 years.
Makes me to be there right now...
Uh -- see you in 20 minutes!
Fantastic photo's and history. Sounds like a place to put on our list!
Wonderful series. You've really captured its heart and soul.
It features in a nice scene in "Highlander," just fyi.
Not only a great place to drink but a great looking place to drink in! Nice collection of photos.
They just don't make 'em like that anymore.
Wonderful photographs! You have captured the essence of the place. It looks so familiar, though...I wonder if it hasn't been used in some movies?
yes, Seinfeld and woody Allen movies
Wow! Peter McManus Cafe looks a nice place and also it is very, very beautiful! I would love to be there some day...
What a great find! Are you testing all the 100 bars of the book? ;)
love those great phonebooths
what craftsmanship!
Nice photos. Isn't McManus kind of a dump inside though? Last time I went there they had flourescent lights to illuminate the bar area, duct tape holding things together etc. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'll take it.
dive bar is right...long may it reign...
