Pig n Whistle on 36th: The Garment District's Rugby Pub
Pig n Whistle, at 202 West 36th Street on the corner of Seventh Avenue, doesn’t post a happy hour. Go for the rugby, not a discount.
The verdict: the Garment District’s rugby pub. It calls itself the rugby pub of New York and puts the big Test matches on its own schedule page, and the crowd for those is the reason to come. On a quiet weeknight it’s a dependable pint two blocks from Penn Station.
What to Expect
Nineteen drafts, led by the house Pig n Whistle Ale and Lager, plus Smithwicks, Guinness and New York pours like Bronx Pilsner and Coney Island Merman IPA. The food is pub food at Midtown prices: Guinness-battered onion rings $14, wings $18, sliders and garlic shrimp $19. Open daily 11am to midnight.
