Kristina RudicApril 6, 2014Very cool, laid back bar. Not too big but long and not a big beer selection but the atmosphere makes up for it. Come on a night when you want to talk, enjoy a pint, and be in the dark.
Cole KennedyAugust 25, 2019Great, friendly dive and a solid spot to catch Liverpool (and other Premier League) games when the crowd is too big at 11th St.Upvoted 1 week ago- Serious EatsMarch 6, 2013International is cheap all day every day, with $2 Genesee, $3 Schaefer and High Life, and $5 for a Genesee and shot of Evan Williams (or $8 for Jameson).
If you want a cheap drink, this is the place to go. This is the complete definition of a dive bar, topped off with the not so clean restroom with graffiti all over it. Classic rock tunes too.
DrinkopolyNovember 4, 2011The ladies behind the bar were super sweet and let us take a pic with them. Order a shot and make sure to tip your bartender generously! Ask for the game, its behind the bar.
Village VoiceMarch 28, 2013Lots of friendly lone drinkers willing to talk to just about anyone frequent here, despite it’s dark, rough around the edges look. And smokers rejoice: the outdoor patio is open year round.
Time Out New YorkOctober 31, 2011The best dive bar in NYC is filled with regulars making efficient use of the low prices. The owners have banished TVs to promote friendly banter and there’s always the jukebox to keep you company. Read more
Kristina GarciaAugust 17, 2012Classic dive bar. Cheap drinks, efficient bartenders, and the perfect place to finish your night once every other bar has kicked you out. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Lady SmileFebruary 20, 2016Brought the girls here the other day and they had a blast! One of the best dive bars, the bartender is also amazing! Rob!!!
Lisa WFebruary 20, 2013The Genesee and shot special is cheap but pretty awful tasting. Hopefully you are already too drunk to notice. Good jukebox selection, great dark little late dive bar if you are in the neighborhood.
Mike Kalmus-EliaszAugust 16, 2013Try a beetle back if you thought pickleback was interesting. Surprisingly good (though also I worry may give me a stomach ulcer).- Lady SmileFebruary 20, 2016Their whiskey selection is pretty dope. I definitely misjudged them based on appearance!
Marc MayerMay 17, 2015Happiest happy hour. There's a great little backyard to eavesdrop on some often awkward discussions. But why stop there? Add your own comments to the mix! Well, unless you're a racist.
StageBuddyApril 5, 2013The backyard closes between 9-10 so make sure to relax out there before for as long as you can! Read more
LukeJuly 9, 2015The right balance of personality and anonymity. Take over the backyard with a few friends- StageBuddyAugust 2, 2013The best drink to order is a Bloody Mary, always made from scratch! Read more
Connie ChiuAugust 24, 2014Really cheap drinks. $5 cocktails. $4 shots. Small space. And some strange characters. Good pregame spot though.
Look for Rob or Sawyer, both are great and lots of fun!
Cheap drinks, great bartender. One of fave neighborhood locals- StageBuddyJune 20, 2013
Randy (the bartender) is awesome!!!!!!!!!!! Cheap drinks and a $4 beer and shot special!!! Worth a stop!
Cristina F-MJanuary 23, 2010they let you bring food into the bar, so my favorite thing to do is to get takeout from caracas, porchetta and wechsler's with a bunch of people and have a feast.
Rainbow LAApril 8, 2014Go here for the girls with rainbow hair, they may masculine, but are women in every way.
Cheap High Life. Old school jukebox. Backyard. No television. Good bartenders.- If you come on Sat before 8 pm, look for Claire, she's wonderful.
citichik chickpeaJuly 21, 2012Cheap booze, friendly bartender, good music, unpretentious = all I want in a dive.
Nick KroetzMay 31, 2012Great fallback dive bar for when you dont know where else to go in the east village.
John CookMay 9, 2011Perfect example of a hole in the wall bar. Grab a beer and enjoy the atmosphere and crowd
Kate RitchieSeptember 16, 2012Don't be a fool. Get the rolling rock and shot special. Tip the bartenders well.- Alex RobertsonOctober 19, 2017completely unadorned dive bar. Three dollar bottles of Miller high life
$4 well drinks, and they are *strong*. Dark, divey, and a little small... avoid the bathrooms.
Superb barkeep by the name of Damian. Major Anglophile,ask him about UK television,he is an expert going back decades.
- StageBuddyAugust 2, 2013Sometimes it closes closer to 9:30 instead of 10 out of respect for their neighbors. Read more
