Pre-launched as Tod Hunter Pyms, this bar had a hasty rename before opening due to 1007830 JT Pims opening around the corner - referring to the same family who had ran a noted department store where the hideous building that holds most of The George is now.
A relatively small premises, this is - unfortunately - named after something from New York, far too common a trope in Dublin pub and restaurant names of late. In this case, it is the former name of JFK Airport, a connection revealed only on the cocktail menus as far as I could see.
Nestled alongside the Market Bar, but quite different from it, this is a decent addition to the bars in the area although it's not massively different from the rest of them - except the Market Bar itself of course, which is notable for having no background music.
