The Four-Faced Liar
Prices
Average drink: $5.
Cash only.
Description
Sturdy wooden tables and a sea-blue-and-gold motif create a lazy pub atmosphere at this West Village saloon. Friendly barkeeps dispense 20-ounce drafts of Guinness and affordable, if basic, highballs. Avoid the Banana Republican louts who invade the place on Saturdays; show up on Sunday instead for the biweekly Frequency poetry series, which has been known to draw bookish types, including staffers from literary magazine The Believer.
Hours
Daily noon–4am.
