The Scene
Greenwich Village sensibility meets 19th-century charm at this sub-sidewalk level watering hole. The decor is straight-up Victorian--complete with red brocade wallpaper, ornate gold moldings, frilly pillows and matching teacups filled with snack mix. Despite the lavish details, the drinks are served at dive-bar prices, drawing a mixed crowd of fresh-faced college kids, gray-haired ladies, dressed-down dudes and glammed-up gals.
The Draw
The bar offers 10 draft beers--poured through a shiny gold tap system--and a well-chosen wine list. On the drink menu, classic cocktails, like Manhattans and sidecars, are listed beside decidedly modern originals, such as the Honey Dove, a creamy concoction of vanilla soy milk, honey and cognac. But the most unlikely combination of all? The downtown-chic servers are disarmingly pretty, yet girl-next-door friendly.

I haven't been to The Dove, but upon reading the negative reviews by the whining yuppies, I can't wait to go. I'll be in NY next week for a vacation from bartending in San Francisco. I always use cash, never credit cards (I'm no fool), and I plan to ask to be served by the bitchy redhead?sounds like my kind of gal! I pride myself on my high negative ratings on YELP. -Jack "The Hat" Yaghubian

Not a bad atmosphere, hasn't been completely taken over by the hip crowd. The tea sandwich sampler was fantastic and generally the staff was helpful and pleasant. Except, avoid the red head female. She is completely rude and for no reason. The rest of her equals were great. We asked for a plug to charge a phone, she gave us the brush off and said "ya we don't do that." Another worker saw this and said.."go ahead there's one over there." over the course of the evening and her rudely interjecting and actually giving dirty looks we found that the phone had been unplugged and tossed to the side. In making eye contact with her, we got that "ya I'm the b%#CH that did that for no reason." So go there, but tell the redhead to f-off.

I just found out what The Dove is doing for their new years party and it kinda blew my mind. Get this, on what is probably one of the most lucrative nights of the year for any bar, they are giving all the money they make to charity! Wow. I work for a non-profit org. and let me tell you, we need more businesses like this in New York. The party sounds good too: open bar, absinthe (is it real???) and a burlesque show. If I was gonna be here for new years, I would have already bought my ticket. But I'm headed to Paris, so don't feel too bad for me!
