In Short
Amid street signs, bottle caps and hanging bras, girls dance atop a 20-foot bar in a dimly lit space strewn with tables and stools. The dive bar is similar in style to Coyote Ugly and Hogs & Heifers, but without the crowds. Diversions include a country and classic rock jukebox and well-loved pool table. The mostly male regulars kick back with all-American draft and bottled beer.

So we went here to try out a new place, and decided to go during happy hour though on the later end around 7pm. The deals at the time were good but the place was filthy. I know its a dive bar and love dive bars but man this place would not pass the most lax health code standards. But who cares right i mean alcohol is supposed to eliminate germs at least the ones on the glasses. The part that left a bad taste in my mouth was the smoking and the when happy hour ended how expensive the drinks were for such a dive. Many many better places out there, that also let you smoke but have decent filtration systems in place

Well I am new to the east village but I have found my home bar. It is a great mix of music, dancing, drink specials and people. I have only been there on Friday and Saturday nights and there has always been a great crowd. The bartenders are very friendly and make you feel right at home. There is a bartender named Heather that all I can say is WOW. She is definitly worth going to see. Trust me on this one people.

This is a great dive bar for anyone who is looking for a Coyote Ugly type bar without the country music. Mostly rock/pop music is played here. Also, some 80's rock on their touch screen jukebox. It can get uncomfortably crowded at times and it's true that the smoking law isn't obeyed here as of a couple of months ago. The bouncers are cool and just about anything goes here! Beer is expensive here, with the exception of PBR.
