The film follows a desperate man (Pacino) with the help of an accomplice (John Cazale), as they take hostages in a Brooklyn bank with plans to rob it in order to pay for his lover’s sex-change operation.

Le Ritz urges guests to bring their own snacks and they also supply free popcorn.

The classic Celtic watering hole on Prince Arthur hosts a musical open mic night on Tuesdays.

The pub features some of the best gig comedians in town on a regular basis and their open mic night generates a lot of talented musicians either trying out new songs or jamming out with new members.
