Okay, I have put off writing about Barrow only because it is such an engrained tradition in the life of my friends and I, that I felt writing about it was a bit lame since one, it is a bar, and two, I had been there so many freaking times, it just sits as an afterthought to me.
However, as I am now in California, and have not been to Barrow for a while, I find myself thinking about it more and more often. I started going to Barrow in my sophomore year of college. I walked by it on they way to school everyday and they had what appeared to be an amazing special for Monday Night Football. They had $3 beers (all 16 drafts) and $25 wings. Now yes, I like wings, but until I tried these, I never realized how good wings could be. I almost have a difficult time eating wings elsewhere now. The wings are perfectly crispy, large in size and very juicy. The sauce (I get the medium) is the perfect blend between spice and flavor. I find the problem with so many wings is they just taste like "spicy." They don't really have any particular taste. These are the best I have ever had. The price of them has gone up to $0.40 per wing on the special or on non-special nights, you can get a basket of 20 for $10. Not bad if you are sharing.
The wings are the thing here, however, the menu is pretty extensive and I would not sway you from trying almost anything. For a guy who doesn't like burgers, I think their turkey burger is outstanding. I also enjoy most of the finger foods...the chicken tenders, the onion rings, the poppers, the waffle fries.
Barrow is a good local sports bar in the West Village and that is a rarity for the area. They have about 20 flatscreen TV's and will pretty much put on any game you suggest.
Worth your while.
Stay hungry my friends.
