The Late Late

The Late Late embodies the true meaning of a “local” establishment. Situated on the famous Houston Street in the Lower East Side, The Late Late is Irish-inspired, but does not resemble the traditional stereotypical “Irish Pub” which commonly exists in the USA today. Instead, it is modeled on a 1960’s period Irish residence. Incorporating some of the key quality ingredients of Irish hospitality, and customizing them to appeal to contemporary society so synonymous with New York. Named after the Late Late Show, the worlds longest running TV talk show from Ireland. In 1962 The Late Late Show tested the boundaries of conservative Roman Catholic Ireland.. It was a disruptive force which the older audience boycotted and the contemporary young professionals gravitated towards.. The Late Late Bar & Spirit Grocer is designed to have a similar appeal today. At The Late Late Guinness is served over ice with a sprig of mint in a crystal goblet.. It also features as a core component in a range of Late Late cocktails. Old Arthur Guinness would be proud that his great invention has been tweaked to appeal to today’s savvy young professionals. We have taken a traditionally successful product, Guinness, and customized it to integrate into today’s society and appeal more to the first time drinker. Our food menu is designed to encourage social interaction among downtown locals and help spark social debate among friends and strangers.   Read More
