The Rook - View this location on map Located just a few steps from Avenue A Sushi, the Rook is the newest venue on this list, but it's off to a grand start. I dropped by with a couple of friends recently and was impressed with the beer selection and the friendly, dark wood atmosphere. Located a few steps below street level, you'll easily miss the bar if you're not looking out for it, but that would be a shame. Though a number of pubs populate Avenue A, this is one of the better ones. www.gridskipper.com 85 Avenue A, New York, NY Nightlife, Budget The Rook - View this location on map Located just a few steps from Avenue A Sushi, the Rook is the newest venue on this list, but it's off to a grand start.
