Ulysses Folk House
95 Pearl St ( between William St & Broad St )

Ulysses is our favorite bar in the Financial District. Located on Stone St sets you in the middle of the after work action. They have a tasty selection of craft beers best enjoyed outside during the Summer but definitely a stop if you're in the area anytime of the year.
