Professor Thom's

Sports, pub grub, trivia and a 41-foot bar. Bingo Wednesday nights.

  • New 2nd Floor Lounge
  • Lots of flat screens
  • Open for Lunch

Professor Thom was a pioneering 19th century bartender and his namesake, subterranean, 41-foor bar has a thing or two to teach thirsty scholars. How about a lesson in exotic beers? Among the sixteen or so brews on tap are Arrogant Bastard Ale, a dark, thick West Coaster that's a slightly bitter alternative to Boddington's and Hazed and Infused, a hops-heavy brew that tastes like a forest bed. For those who prefer book learning, plenty of reading light spills onto the lacquered hardwood floors, wooden booths, and big tables in the back where overstuffed leather couches perched on a riser could inspire a prolonged study session. For those who come to drink and not to think, top-shelf liquor and sobering burgers and sandwiches ensure that the hangover won't be too harsh when it's time for the big test tomorrow. --Daniel Maurer, New York Magazine.

They say the customer is always right. Don't try to preach that at Professor Thom's, at least not to the manager/bartender who is older with grey-ish hair and likes to wear yellow button down shirts. This guy was incredibly rude and didn't care at all about the customers around him. I am surprised this guy is employed at all with that kind of attitude. He was rude enough to convince me to never step foot in this bar again. If you are into managers of bars treating patrons with no respect, this is definitely the place for you. If you are someone who appreciates good, friendly service in a comfortable environment, don't expect that at Professor Thom's.

Where can I begin. I can't!!! Just go there and see for yourself. The food is great, the bartenders go that extra mile. You need to watch your game, they will have it on for you. The owners are great fun and the beer selection is worth staying for. And the upstairs is a great place to hang out. Not alot of smoking places left in New York, but I have found my favorite smoking balconey in the city. Kudos to these guys. I found a new home and just moved with a long lease. Thank you
