McHale's Bar
McHale's Bar on Eighth Avenue at the corner off West 46th Street was a mainstay of the Theater District/Times Square area for 62 years, before the building's landlord pushed out the Irish ☘️ bar in 2005 to make way for the Platinum NYC condo tower. When we interviewed the owner Jimmy McHale in 2004 for our book “Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York” he told us that he was paying rent on a month-to-month “handshake deal” and had no lease so he expected that he eventually would get pushed out. Scenes from “Sleepers,” “She’s the one” and “Money Train” were all filmed inside this dive bar.
