Bua occupies the former St. Marks Place home of legendary club Sin-é, best known for launching the careers of musical artists such as Jeff Buckley. Today, the bar retains its Irish character, named for the Gaelic word for “victory,” and attracts frequent crowds of arts students from NYU’s Tisch School for the Arts. The restaurant’s simple, satisfying bar menu offers favorites such as house burgers, pulled pork sliders, and vegetarian BLTs, with shareable appetizer plates also available. A clever cocktail menu is offered, along with draft beer selections and cauldrons of housemade sangria. On the weekends, a full brunch menu features comfort food such as chicken and waffles, along with carafes of mimosas or breakfast cocktails such as The Wake Up Call, a blend of spiced rum, espresso, and creme de cacao.
