 The wooden bar only seats 13 and the other bare trimmings include a pool table, jukebox and Pac-Man game. There’s no mixologists tending bar at Sophie’s but you’ll find chalkboards over the bar displaying its simple and affordable offerings. 

Sophie’s is one of the many bars we feature in our book “Great Bars of New York City” which is available at your local bookseller and online worldwide.
