not on fridays

by jeang35 at Citysearch

My friends and I typically LOVE this bar on weekdays when the bartender Tom is there. We went on a Friday and spent a lot of money on their internet jukebox and they skipped our song intentionally, made fun of our song choice and when we complained they blew if off as if they didn't care at all. Very rude service given they have a paid jukebox service. Not a way to run a bar at all and though we normally love this bar, they will lose our business now.

  • Pros: good on weekdays
  • Cons: rude bartenders on fridays

The best drink deal in the city

by Lewis274 at Citysearch

This bar is the closest you can come to living an episode of "Cheers". The bar tenders know your name and provide you with amazing service. The $2.50 bud Lites all day everyday are an amazing benefit to the establishment. Also the food for a bar is amazing. I highly recommend the burgers and cheese sticks

  • Pros: Great bartenders, Great Prices and amazing food
  • Cons: The bar is generally small

Celebrity sighting at Wanda's AKA The Bravest

by drinktillshescute at Citysearch

I was sitting at Wandas last week for a happy hour slugging back the dollar Bud Ices that I cherish as I due every Tuesday thru Friday. I was half in the bag in the midst of the 15 minutes you must wait between beers when in struts Todd Bridges. I could not believe my eyes that he was in the same Bar as me. I got up and staggered towards the TV Icon to as they say Shoot the siht, and thats when things went bad my happy hour nachos violently wanted out. Instead of speaking with this huge celebrity I had to head outside and boot my brains out. After that I ran home in shame!

  • Pros: MMMBop on the jukebox and a quick exit into the Midtown Tunnel, to get out of Dodge
  • Cons: Not enough hours in the day to enjoy this place
