Terrible place. My friends and I spent 20 dollars on the Photo Booth and when nothing came out we were refused a refund. Bar tender was so rude.

I waited 3 long years to write this review. Rewind back to 2021, when I was kicked out by the owner Bobby because I vouched for Immunity and was against the COVID Vaccination. He's likely responsible for a few illnesses, maybe some deaths, now that we know the truth about the shot and its effectiveness. Now that there is clinical research and scientific research proving that Immunity by exposure worked better to survive the virus. He likely voted for Biden, and is the direct reason for inflation. If you're not vaccinated with the experimental vaccine and believe in your right to be Free, this establishment isn't for you. P.S. This is also proof that being wealthy does not make you intelligent...

Dive bar feels. Good music. Great service.

No food. Cheap dive bar, but also cheap drinks. You get what you pay for. Lots of better spots around the same area.

Great bar to start the night at. Used to live within walking distance, many great memories here. We saw the coolest old fashioned ragtime/jazz band here, the girl’s voice was amazing and there was a guy playing the washboard. Cheap but good drinks, outdoor area, lowkey unpretentious neighborhood feel. Very fun!

This was the first bar I walked into when I moved to New York. The vibe is great and I'll always enjoy an outdoor patio. It's big enough that you can go with a group without worrying too much about having to pack in like sardines. My only tiny complaint is that the music can be so loud that you have to scream like you're at a club, which is fine if you're already trashed, but not so great if you're just starting your night.

This bar has become my go-to. The staff is super friendly and they all remember my name. As a newcomer to the area, they have rolled out the red carpet for me. Specials include $5 PBR with a shot and $3 PBR all night long. They have a great assortment of beers, bourbons, and liquor. I met the owner and he's a super cool guy from the same part of the country as me.
Allow me to reiterate. If you are new to the area or looking for a new go-to bar, this place is for you. The staff is super friendly and they make you feel right at home. Music is cool and curated and the jukebox is on point. I have nothing negative to say about this place. They are wonderful people. Come here. Bring your friends.
