PS Sports Bar?

200 Fifth is a nice spot - great food - lots of tvs - but a big Giants hangout !

200 5th usually has a pretty good 'skins following, too... good food, lotsa beer on tap, also.

I think that's the place a couple blocks down, between Carroll and Garfield Streets on Fifth. I keep reading "Costa Rican barfood" on their chalkboard outside, but never when I actually want some...since it's on the way from Bonnie's.
Anybody eaten there?

The Lighthouse is one of my favorite places. Lots of taps and very friendly.

However, the food is merely adequate bar food, which means it tastes really good if you're trying to blunt the effect of too many pints, but it's not a food destination in and of itself.

What I've tried of the sporadic Costa Rican menu is underwhelming. Some variation on fish tacos.

The burgers are good, but nothing like Bonnie's.The teriyaki turkey burger is probably their signature item.

Lighthouse is usually a good bar, but it depends on the bartender. I was in there on a Wednesday for a rare night out with my wife (we left the kid, stroller, and babysitter at home). They decided it would be cool to turn the TV on to an old Seinfeld and blast it. If I want to drink beer, watch TV and not talk to my wife - I can do that at home!
