Bar of the Week: POUNDS & OUNCES NYC PUB in Chelsea

Pound & Ounces NYC Pub in Chelsea on 8th Avenue at the corner of 18th Street is an easy choice for our "Bar of the Week." This stylish spot is incredibly welcoming, a social mecca and perfect for the area. They are true to their slogan "Eat Good, Drink Well, Have Fun and Be Yourself." Whether you live locally, are visiting the neighborhood or going to a performance at the Joyce Theater, it's a top choice for food and drink.

Pounds & Ounces NYC Pub has outdoor seating for enjoying the nice weather. We also love their interior design with a grand seating space at the P & O table that allows you to gather your group. Relax over a great selection of beer, wine by bottle or glass, or one of their inventive cocktails.

And enjoy the menu items created by Executive Chef, Margaret LaVetty. With a focus on small plates, her creative cuisine pairs perfectly with drinks.

On a recent visit, we enjoyed specialty cocktails that included their Cacao Negroni with Bulldog Gin and their Ginger Kick with Brugal Extra Dry. While classic cocktails are on the menu, their signature mixes are truly inventive like the Southern Belle with Woodford Reserve. We like that they also have cocktails on tap, their Pub Cosmo and Pub Ice Tea.

While you sip your drinks, order the Ahi Tuna Nachos, a delicious dish with a clever flair. The light and crispy Market Vegetable Flatbread is topped with freshest seasonal vegetables. Their Reuben Croquettes and Moroccan Meatballs are not to be missed and a real house favorite is the Waffle Battered Chicken Pops. There are sweet treats too like the Meyer Lemon Guava Cheesecake, perfect with an aperitif or coffee drink.

Check their calendar for special nights that include DJ entertainment and viewing events like the Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight and their Kentucky Derby Viewing Party.

Pounds & Ounces NYC Pub Happy Hour is from Monday to Friday from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm when they feature one-half off all drinks, perfect for an after work stop or to kick off your evening.

Pounds & Ounces NYC Pub is open for Happy Hour, Dinner, Weekend Brunch and Drinks. They are also available for private events. Located at 160 8th Avenue, New York, NY 10011, call (646) 449-8150 or visit, http://www.poundsandouncesnyc.com/.
