Shady and unethical moves at this place. Busboy took away my half-full beer glass while I was playing darts. I confronted the bartender about this who proceeded to believe the busboy’s lies over my statement. I could even see my drink behind the bar with other empty drink glasses. Don’t recommend.
Great chill atmosphere! Come in during the day for a nice place to hang out. Olivia is incredible and creates the absolute best environment that you don't want to leave!
College bar after 8pm, I went on a first date and drunk NYU kids were loud and rowdy. We left after 1 okay, and very overpriced drink.
This place is just OK. Nothing great. Beware of the bartender's sly move here! When you settle the bill, he hands you the card machine but cleverly uses his thumb to cover up the total amount. All you can see in that suspenseful moment are the tip suggestions, which kick off at a generous 20%. He grips that machine like it's the last piece of chocolate in the box. 🍫 I stuck around bc I found it very unusual, and guess what? He played the same thumb game with everyone else! It's like a secret tip treasure hunt. 😄 I didn’t mind the the large tip bc I got several drinks but didn’t appreciate the dishonesty.
GREAT BAR WITH A JUKE BOX, POOL TABLE, AND DARTS. SEVERAL BIG SCREEN TVS TO WATCH THE GAMES. 2 ALL GENDER BATHROOMS AT THE END OF THE BAR. CONVENIENT LOCATION; NEAR WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK, THE A TRAIN, AND MANY EATERIES. THEY DON'T SERVE FOOD SO WE WERE ALLOWED TO BRING IN FOOD FROM OUTSIDE.

My description by all means is not an indicator of this being a bad place. This was a typical bar in a NYC neighborhood.
However, I was disappointed by them not having the following: Blue Moon, Heineken, Brooklyn, or Stella. I had to settle for a Corona.
But I still managed to have fun with my friends, in the end, that's all that mattered.

My experience at this bar was absolutely fantastic. The ambiance was vibrant and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a memorable night out. The bartenders were not only skilled mixologists but also friendly and attentive, making every visit enjoyable. The drink menu was a delightful mix of classic cocktails and innovative concoctions, each prepared with precision and creativity. The bar's attention to detail and dedication to customer satisfaction truly set it apart. I'll definitely be returning to savor more of the exceptional drinks and welcoming atmosphere.
Nice bar in NYC with an amazing happy hour. Was able to swing by and enjoy a World Cup game and drink $5 beers. If you’re in the area, swing by, have a couple of cold ones and then enjoy the city. Will definitely stop by in the future.
