Went on a Monday night and it still had a nice crowd. Cocktails are good, I recommend the hellboy margarita. Also got nice deals like a 3 dollar hour shot if you buy a beer.
Only recommendation is that they could clear the outdoor area a bit. Would open up the space

Classic and fun LES bar. Tati keeps it real while being super cool, I love Ian and Gode and Hugo and all the people who work here. There is even a bartender named Mia who makes an appearance who is fun. Just one of the few historic and classic places we need to support.
169 is a timeless classic LES bar. It’s the type of spot where you might see a goblin or a ghoul on the wall or hallucinate one in the bathroom. You can spend hours here at a booth with your buddies, embarrassing yourself on the pool table, or hanging out in the backyard. You may not know what time it is, or what day of the week, but that is the beauty of 169. The staff is fun and friendly. I especially enjoyed getting to know the bartenders Ian and Hugo. You can’t go wrong ordering a refreshing Tecaté or Pickle-back shot here.
169 is my favorite bar in the neighborhood! Drinks are super cheap and crowd is always fun. Absolutely love the bartender named Ian. He always makes sure my friends have a good time! Great place to bring people from out of town. Order the Cajun popcorn and tip your bartenders :)
Love this bar!! Always great vibes. The people that go here are regulars and once you're a regular you are considered family! The Bartenders are awesome especially my boy Ian the dude that looks like he's in a rock band really goes out his way to make sure you get that true 169 experience
Go for the cheap drinks, stay because of some of the best bartenders in the city. Marques, Cam, Tati, Matt and especially Ian, the lovably curmudgeonous uncle you never knew you wanted or needed in your life. You won’t find a better crew pouring drinks, making jokes and generally making you feel like a part of the family
This bar is so family friendly. Bring your kids, your dogs, and your second husbands. My favorite bartender, Markers, is simply fantastic. He possesses an incredible passion for mixology and always ready to whip up a concoction tailored to your preference. The drink menu is a masterpiece, something to satisfy every palate. Overall, this place is a hidden gem that deserves all the praise. I will forever remember this place vaguely. Also Gode
Came by the spot for some drinks and to enjoy time with friends. We got that done fasho. Very great dive spot with some real cool folks working and vibing. Coolest pool table I had ever seen. My only negative review was they didn’t have any draft beers. Although I’m
Always down to crush a few cans, when I’m out and about I wanna drink what’s on tap. Hopefully this has been resolved since my last visit but I would certainly come back again!
