Beefsteak Charlie's
2 Penn Plaza
(at Madison Square Garden)
630-0301

Billy Mark's West
332 9th Ave.
(corner of 29th Street)
-
Overall: This another bar in the tradition of the old Hell kitchen. Its location across from the main post office helps brings a lot of postal workers. It does not have beer taps, but the bartenders a quick and knowledgeable will pour you a nice drink. The prices is little bit high for the location, but they are trying to clean the place up. 
Darts: A nice new addition to the Darts sine. It got the darts only a year ago. A very nice set up with two dart boards (on in the front, the other in the back).  Every Wednesday, they have a Luck of the Draw, so check it out.

Coliseum Bar
312 West 58th St
(8th Ave / 9th Ave)
974-9174
Overall: A great wooden bar dominates the place. 
Darts: Two dart board in the back. 

Chelsea Tavern, formerly Wilson's
360 West 23rd St
(8th Ave / 9th Ave)
741-9010
Overall:
The change of name from the personal Wilson's to the generic Chelsea Tavern has not boded well at this end of 23rd St. The booths are gone, along with the local characters, neither of which is what we want. But don't hesitate to have a look, as it never seems to be too crowded.

Garden Tavern
407 8th Ave
(30th St / 31st St)

O'Flaherty's Ale House
334 West 46th Street
(8th Ave / 9th Ave)

Darts:
Well, when I visited this location, the single board was so dead, it was not useable.
Overview:
This place is trying to hard to be the best Irish pub the tourist coming to the theater can find in NYC.

Scruffy Duffy's
L
743 8th Ave
(46th St / 47th St)
245-9126
Darts:
Two board set up in the back. Even when the place got crowded, there were people playing darts. There were mix of shooters, some were learning and some were serious. 
Overall:
On the weekend this place draws a lot of twenty something from the neighborhood and the theater. On the first night I was there, the cart of the River Dance were trying to unwind after the show and a local pastry chef was having a last hora, before moving to Sacramento, Ca (she even brought a sample of her trade). Good place to come and meet people.
Excellent and reasonable food. Specially the hot wings (12 for $4.50).

Bull McCabe Pub
L
714 11th Ave
(50th St / 51st St)
247-8474
Overall:
I tried to visit this location at 1:00 AM on Saturday evening and the place was locked up and the lights were all out.

Walter's Bar
389 8th Ave
(29th St / 30th St)
502-4023
Overall:

  Ye Olde Tripple Inn
L
263 West 54th St
(B-way /8th Ave)
245-9849
Darts:
This is a place where one can buy supplies and catch a good game. One dart board, located in the front of the bar sometimes can get crowded.
Overall:
An unusual bar for the theater district. It defiantly can be given a label of a "dive bar". It is hard to find a combination of reasonably priced and good atmosphere. On Saturdays, they have a comedy night with a dissent staring comedians. The walls are covered with publicity shots of people in the show biz. One of the few places that still serves beer mugs.
HOURS::
Mon-Sun 12am-2am.
PRICES:
Pints $3 and $3.75; Mugs $2 and $2.75
$5-$8, Sandwiches and Salads
