Hey out there! Can anyone tell me what establishment is on the NW corner of 6th Ave & 13th Street?. Years ago it was Finnerty's tavern. They had a big jar on the end of the bar (Probably a pickled pigs feet jar.) When people left they would throw their loose change in the jar and at the end of the month there would be a spread of Cold Cuts, Hard Boiled eggs etc:. Neighborhood bars in those days always had something going.

Was it 6th ave and 13th exactly or between some blocks. That corner, if I remember correctly, is all residential?(\__/)

Right now it is one of the Beansprouts (day care) locations. Childless me would prefer the tavern!

If you have not already heard about it but Google maps can get you an image of just about anywhere in NYC. Go to Google.com/maps and search for NW Corner 6th ave and 13th st brooklyn, ny http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=nw+corner+of+6th+ave+and+13th+st+brooklyn,+ny&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=64.880423,50.888672&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=6th+Ave+%26+13th+St,+Brooklyn,+Kings,+New+York+11215&ll=40.665568,-73.985796&spn=0.015495,0.012424&z=16&layer=c&cbll=40.665722,-73.985871&panoid=vZ99jvIWUyurRCP3smOudQ&cbp=12,295.83,,0,1.81

Thanks for the Google info Gross. I have used it but in many instances it is very hard to discern between a business or residental place. MAMACITA : Finnertys Tavern was right on the corner of 13th & 6th Ave. It was the corner towards 12th St and towards 5th Ave. There was another Bar & Grill (As they were called in those days) on the corner of 5th Ave & 13th St called Mike Golden's. They had a Ladies entrance on the 13th St side. Many of the neighborhood Taverns had "Ladies" entrances around the side. That was of course before Women;s Lib.
