Best Bar in the Neighborhood. I love going to Becky's Its a great place to relax and enjoy a pint. The service is great and the food is wonderful. I love the cigar store indian he is a great addition to the bar. I go to this bar for all sports games. The decoration is awesome too there is so much to look at. Remember always tip your bartendar! Cheers!

you what?. I've just been reading the previous reviews, and am curious as to why the last 3 are so bad, and also,

I think it's odd that they were all written on the same date??? They are not a true reflection of what this bar is really like, and it sounds as though someone is making up reviews. Beckys is a great neighborhood bar, great beer selection, yummy english skinny 'chips', awesome pizza. I highly recommend!

I award this place ZERO stars. This place was just brutal. The service was horrible, the people there were hideous, and I'm pretty sure they over-charged me on my tab! Probably the worst time I've had in a New York establishment EVER. I would never go back here unless I was homeless and needed a place to urinate.

Most Expensive Bar Tab ever. Sure, we drank a lot here. They didn't buy one drink back. They gave us the bill for four people with the gratuity included and it was $540!!!! 32 Baby Guiness shots for $208.00?!? I mean, at that point I don't even know if we really had 32, but they clearly didn't buy anything back, and we were charged for a mystery diet coke. The service was not good, I guess when the gratuity is included, why bother. I would not go back. Everytime I pass this place now, I give it the finger.

RIP OFF!. I went there the day of the marathon with a few friends. We were there from brunch until about 7 that night. When we got the bill, it was LAUGHABLE - they did not buy ONE drink back - they charged us for EVERYTHING and even drinks we didn't have! They also added the gratuity on for some reason - probably because most people don't notice so they tip twice - and the service was awful! They forgot one of our meals and were slow coming to check on us. Half the time we had to walk up to the bar ourselves to get a drink. Then they'd send us back to get it from the wiatress who NEVER came. Never going back there again. If I could, it would get NO stars.

Bar that makes you feel at home. I have a friend that discovered this place so I decided to check it out. Good drinks, nice waitresses, great Christmas atmosphere. All warm and cozy, like a neighborhood bar should be.

Best beer bar in this area. What a great beer bar!!! They have over 20 good beers on draught, and served in an Imperial glass (20 oz glass)? WOWOWO. Maybe had one to many, but on holiday with my peeps-they are a good local place. Food is good and cheap. At night see Glen.However, Do not expect cheap prices for food or great service.

Great Sports Bar. Good food - nice staff - and lots of beers on draft. They have a ton of

tvs where you can watch several differnt sports at one time. The jukebox is cool b/c you can download your own music. The prices are a lil steep for a pub but other than that I reccommend Becky's.

Solid neighborhood bar.... ...built on a foundation of 24 draft taps and good bar food. The inside looks casual and the atmosphere absolutely is. I doubt no one is taking the subway to drink here. The food does make it totally worthwhile to show up for a game though. Good bar to hang out at if you want to take a break from drinking in the village with the whole college crowd, or B&T crowd in the meatpacking district.

Show up with a bunch of good friends get food , get sloshed, talk to everyone, put 10 dollars in the jukebox, you will have a fantastic time.

Watch out though, the touch screen on the jukebox registers your touch 2 inches to the left of where it should be resulting in hilarious song choices.

Excellent neighborhood pub. Becky's is THE neighborhood pub of choice. Good dark Irish pub that doesn't take itself too seriously. I doubt anyone will travel from other neighborhoods to hang out here, which keeps the crowd pleasant, unpretentious, and neighborly. Always a good time and a great place to catch sports games. Good beers on tap, and the most amazing chicken nachos in the city. I swear they lace them with something, too good to be true. Only about $9, but can easily feed 2-3 people. We eat it all the time for an entire meal. Other appetizers are also very good, and really good sizes for the price. Newcastle beer is about $4/pint. Bigger american beers (bud, miller) are cheaper. Good prices in comparison to other Manhattan bars. Very fun place. Good pub atmosphere. Good, real people. Good staff.
