What People Are Saying About Patriot Saloon
The Editor

The same folks behind the Village Underground are now serving up $6 pitchers of beer, well drinks for $2.75 and burgers for $1 (including tax, mind you)--and ritzy Tribeca hasn't seen such a square deal since the Teddy Roosevelt administration. Country classics blast from the jukebox and an American flag adds to the decor, which includes an extensive collection of neon beer signs and a giant taxidermic crocodile. Despite the accoutrements, the vibe at this cavernous tavern is more post-frat than patriotic. Friday and Saturday nights reign in a rowdy crowd: Ladies dance on the bar (partly for the rush, partly for the free shots), and drink buy-backs are the norm. The weeknight scene may be slightly dreary, as pretty midriff-baring bartenders attend to older solo drinkers, battered and broken by the daily grind. Fortunately, the bras and neckties that hang haphazardly from the ceiling serve as a reminder that the weekend crowd will always return, upbeat debauchery in tow.

You get the best of both worlds during the day a decent but cheap to have a cold beer and chat the day away. The night brings the wild side out.. I've seen and heard that, if you are a true male you will enjoy the fun. The wild girls come out to play. The bathrooms are not the best but you won't be in there that long. And can't forget about the bartenders. They sweet talk you anf flirt the the day or night away while getting you buzzing away. A plus for this area of the city.

cheap drinks and white trash crowd- drunks, sleazy men, fat disgusting bar owner, half the girls working there are on d rugs or so s lutty they might as well be strippers. I am all for a great dive bar and country bar- but does that mean all etiquette and standards should go out the window? why not just move to a trailer park?

What a dive bar should be. I have no idea how a genuinely fun place like the Patriot is able to survive in the heart of yuppified, soulless Tribeca but I sure am glad it does. The whole staff is accomodating - the bartenders are all very charming and engaging and even the bouncers are friendlier than most. The two-level bar usually isn't too packed as I've been going there for a good while now and have rarely had trouble getting a drink. Speaking of which, The Patriot offers some of the cheapest beer on the island of Manhattan - $2 PBR in the can as well as very reasonable $3 and $4 pints for premium domestic and imported brews on tap, respectively. The crowd is usually raucuous but fun - not pretentious or overrun by idiotic meatheads and valley girls, which is always a plus. There's also a dartboard (albeit with awful plastic darts - bring your own) and a pool table which every good dive is required to have. The downstairs jukebox leaves a bit to be desired as it's filled with nothing but country music and the men's bathrooms on both levels (especially the bottom one) are horror shows but it's a very small price to pay for the great experience this place provides.
