What People Are Saying About Iggy's

The Owner

Iggy's

Owner

Iggys opened its doors in 1995 as a place where people could come in and escape from the norm and have a friendly handshake as a welcome! It was the Customers who quickly became regulars that made the fantastic atmosphere nightly.

Remodeled with a hundred foot long bar (one of the longest if not the longest in the City) that opens up to a large room to get your groove on! A brand new beer cooling system and 4 beer towers keep you from going thirsty with 24 beers on tap. And no need to worry about missing your favorite sport teams, we have 14 Flat Screen TVs on all night.

In addition to, open Karaoke takes precedence nightly, where you and your friends can rise to the challenge of stardom! We have a huge variety of music from rock n roll, disco, r & b, and many more. So whether you are just coming down with a few friends or a large party we can accommodate.

Horrible and RUDE!

by CityLife

Showed up at 11pm, Place was pretty packed with 35 year olds and up. Thinned out really quickly until there was about only 30 people in there. I put up a song at 11pm and waited thinking that since it was so empty I might get to sing in the 2 hours I was there. I go up to ask how many songs I was away from singing because I wanted to have a smoke and didn't want to miss it. The woman running the Karaoke immediately had an attitude and told me that I was 32 songs away. I had put my song up 2 hours ago and 32 songs is like another 3 hour wait. I went to tell my friends that we should go and they were upset as well. I went up to get my money and told the beastly woman running the show that she should give other people a chance to sing since I saw the same guy sing 10 times while I was there and I hadn't sung once. She cut me off and said "I DON'T CARE! ITS MY BIRTHDAY AND IM DRUNK!" Then she smiled at me. I told her I know you don't care, asked for my money and left. I will never go back to that bar and neither will any of my friends since I told them what happened.

BED BUGS

by NYCanne

This place has BED BUGS! I was sitting at the front and I got bit like five times. I told the waiter and bartender but they didn't care and told me to "shut up". I am scared I brought them home with me. The door guy said yeah we got them duh! I was shocked. I have been a resident of the UES for years. The idea that this horrible bar that infested us is open sickens me.

The best karaoke bar everrr

by ayseasli

I held a surprise Birthday party for my sister here on a Friday night and it was AMAZING! I set it up only a few days in advance with the owner, Iggy. He re-assured me that everything would be perfect and it was! They let us go there in the afternoon the day of the party and decorate, the bartenders were awesome and kept the drinks coming. We did the open bar for 3 hours at $35 each ; ) We ordered mixed platters of food too, which were delicious! Everyone keeps telling me how much fun they had and we will certainly be going back!

  • Pros: easy going, good crowd, friendly bartenders, & IGGY!!!!!
  • Cons: What are the drawbacks?

Would be Five Stars, But...

by bullhurleyschild

The first time I went here, I felt like I had found the Fountain of Youth or the Ark of the Covenant, I had one of the best bar experiences I have ever had in Manhattan. Iggy was there and he was cool, friendly, and right away made my friends and I feel like we were home. The bartenders were great, too. The special was a pint and a shot for $6. I figured there has to be some sort of limit on what kind of shot you could take during this deal, but the bartender gave us the deal and served us whatever we wanted, not just cheap well liquor, but Jack, Patron, etc. A pint and a shot of Patron for $6? We were in heaven. Then we rocked the karaoke (after enough of those cheap shots) and had one of the best nights ever at an Upper east Side bar. Then I went back a second time... It was my friend and me, we were barhopping so we weren't going to be there all night, I started a tab, we both had two pints, the total should have been about $20 or so. When I went to close out, my tab was $56. The bartender gave me someone else's tab. When I pointed this out he tried telling me I had ordered shots, I hadn't. He finally ran the tab that was actually mine, but when I checked my bank statement, the next day, he hadn't canceled the other one, so he charged me $56 for someone else's drinks and then $20, $76 before tip for 4 pints of domestic. So that did not make me happy, but I feel that the time I had before that was so positive I will go again, except next time I will pay in cash! I suggest you do the same.

  • Pros: Fun Atmosphere, Cheap Drinks, and Karaoke
  • Cons: You may end up paying for someone else's drinks
