The MTA used to have bar cars on both LIRR and MNR, but they no longer have their own (not CT's) bar cars on Metro-North and they only use the bar cars on the LIRR for special services like the Cannonball ExpressI didn't even know they existed ... check this link, valid only for the next few days...

Jeff,As you approach the station entrance from 4th St., on your left will be the ticket windows and on your right will first be Subway Sandwhiches, followed by the sanck/beverage/magazine stand. At the counter where the cashier is, you will notice a good selection of beer and wine and, as I recall (but I can't swear by it), liquor. I drink primarliy beer and wine so I must admit I can't vouch for liquor there. They also sell nice note cards with pictures of the original Spanish-style SP station at 3rd and Townsend. Just beyond this concession stand are the gates to the tracks and awaiting trains.

From what I've heard, your chances are excellant. Unless they've got more than a few cars out of service, they run as advertised. The commuters depend on them being there, so they'd raise quite a stink if they weren't there.What are the chances that a train marked as having a bar car on the schedule will have one?
