Pound & Pence

New York, New York, United States

Pound & Pence inside 55 Liberty St

Pound & Pence is a bar that is tucked away inside the lobby of 55 Liberty St. We almost didn't find the place as you have to go past a security guard through a small revolving door and walk up the stairs of a marble lobby to an unmarked room. The bar has a classy rowdiness feel to it. The dark wooden tables are accompanied by large cushioned armchairs and the room is decorated with dark wood, old books and a fireplace. I loved the feel of the place, but the food was terrible. I would recommend coming here for a drink to experience the atmosphere and continue elsewhere for dinner.

Items Ordered

The Pound & Pence Burger

The Pound & Pence Burger

The burger was actually pretty decent. It had a nice sauce on it, which made it messy but taste good. It was ordered well done, but it was served medium. The fries were very plain tasting. Fortunately, they served salt, pepper and ketchup. ...but I didn't realize it was possible for potatoes to taste so bland.

English Beef Stew

English Beef Stew

The stew was not very good. It was incredibly salty and had a funny taste to it. I'm guessing that they may have made it six months ago and froze it in individual-sized portions that they took our and heated up when someone ordered it. The bread that was served with it was a very dry plain white bread.
