What People Are Saying About Duff's

The Scene – Remember that kid you used to know in high school--the one who liked hard rock--who plastered his bedroom with whatever he picked up off the street? Well, he's opened a bar in Williamsburg and covered every inch of the space (including the ceiling) with street signs, random posters, an Elvis bust, disembodied doll heads, red lights, a Gorilla suit and pin-up shots. Longtime fans of Bellevue Bar in Hell's Kitchen may recognize the memorabilia; distinctive owner Jimmy Duff packed his stuff out of that space and into this one. – – The Draw – In warm weather,…

Getcha pull at the best dive bar in town !
by Dano666
With dozens of Bay Ridge bars just steps from me, I log more hours commuting to and from Duff's than I do to work (true story)... It's like Drunkin' Donuts: It's worth the trip. Where else can you get top shelf drinks that aren't watered down, without taking out a mortgage? - Nowhere but Duff's Brooklyn! Where else can you find a staff to make you laugh, yet make you sweat ? (Owner excluded) -No place other than Duff's! It sports an ever changing butt-kicking jukebox selection, including the dash of fun for the occasional mood change. The outdoor deck when it's too loud or you need to BBQ something to keep your vodka company. This is the place to go in NYC - whether you're an aficionado of the beverage arts and/or a hard rock/metal fan. There's even an outhouse! I mean, if an outhouse doesn't say "Dive Bar To Party At", I don't know what does ~
- Pros: Fun, casual, drama-free dive for drinking professionals (and those in training), outdoor smoking deck
- Cons: Though you can smoke outside, wrecking hipsters is still frowned upon on the deck

Effin GORGEOUS bartenders that literally spew fire - Rockin Metal on the Jukebox - This place is a guaranteed good time!
by TotalChaos
Duffs always has something fun to look forward to, whether it's watching Warriors on a small tv in the corner while rockin out to the jukebox, spinning the wheel to find out if you won a free beer or a free hand job (for the bouncer) or even sitting on the patio for an impromptu BBQ & checkin out the bikes and hearses. There's always something random to find in this hot spot.
- Pros: You can never predict what kind of a night you'll have - but you'll always wind up amongst friends
- Cons: Sometimes I wish there was more room so everyone isn't on top of each other.

by Osotogari1976
My new favorite bar!! Sure its gross and it is def a divebar but where else do you get cheap beer, cheap whiskey and hot bartenders??!!!! Not only that ,they are friendly and attentive! I was wasted 30 minutes after I met tracey (?) last thursday. I stayed a while and had a damn good time. I'm definitely going back and I'm bringing metalheads with me!
- Pros: cool bartenders GREAT music!!
- Cons: small
