Fun Classy Sports Bar

by Girls Gotta Dance

This friend of mine, Billy booked a party free from these cool guys at AccessGotham. They reserved us terrific seats by the big flat screen for the Knick game. Not only that, but one of the Former Knick players was there. John Starks. He was hot. I got comped yummy Apple Martinis, but the guys drank some scotch and soda. I hear they have trivia on Monday's.

Lost my credit card

by cb2726

Went here for happy hour after work. It would seem impossible, but somehow between taking my Visa from our table to the bar the waitress managed to "misplace" the card. Seriously?

I never tip less than 20% - and I was considering tipping less than that BEFORE they lost my credit because of their crappy service. Do not go here if you enjoy keeping your credit cards.

Bounce best bar I've been to in New York City......

by Carly O

Hi my name is Carly O and I've been to a lot of venues, bars, sports bars, clubs, etc in New York City and I must say this place is very nice. Some of the most beautifullest woman work as the wait and bar staff. Door people & bouncers are very cool. People really go here to enjoy game night on the big screens, have drinks and mingle. Mostly local upper east side residents and regulars come here. Some nights they bring in a live dj. A few weeks ago they had a dj who gave me his card, a dj by the name of DJ4G dot TV a.k.a DJ Wikidwayne was commanding the decks. This guy was unbelievable and very very very very good, actually great. He was spinning "old school style" with a pair of real turntables. Very rare to see that now a days. His attitude was upbeat and he was friendly and played my request and had everyone with smiles on there faces dancing and just enjoying the hell out of his live deejaying and music. Freakin incredible. That deejay at Bounce Sports bar made my night. I did not expect to see and hear a dj like that in a sports bar. I highly recommend going out to Bounce and or throwing a party there. The food, drinks, beautiful bar staff & deejay are great ! :) I'm very pleased to say. Thanks Bounce for a great night.

Could not love you more

by 2ofusgnf

I have been going to Bounce since it's opening and I love it. I may be a little biased because I know the managers and staff, but I know them because I actually like the place and kept coming back to get to know them. The bartenders are great(Jen, Amy, Christina, Vickie, Lina etc), the managers are great(Billy is the best) and to top it off the food is great. I have watched the wait staff, barbacks and busboys work very hard to satisfy their customers and I for one appreciate it...I'll keep coming back. If I had to give one demerit it is that the bathrooms are really small. THAT IS IT!!! AND I AIN'T LIVING IN THE BATHROOM SO I DON'T CARE.

Keep up the good work Yosh!!!

  • Pros: Great Staff and Management
  • Cons: Bathrooms are small

by totalbs14
