Editorial Review for Aces & Eights Saloon – by Kara Zuaro

In Short
This roomy Western-themed bar is lined with bright red walls and deep booths, each equipped with a flat-screen TV. At the bar, some of the stools are fitted with saddles, and the beer pong (or Beirut) tables are decorated with cowboys. Aces & Eights draws a crowd of post-college kids who coat their stomachs with wings, burgers, and nachos and before throwing back drinks at frat party prices--like all-you-can-drink draft beers from 9pm to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.

Hits: Really cheap beer, plenty of beer pong tables and private TVs at each booth score big points with sports fans.

Misses: Rampant beer pong tournaments leave a stale smell in the air, and the overpoweringly sweet Prarie Dew cocktail, made with coconut rum and pineapple juice, is more suitable for spring break in Cancun.

Fun Fact

In stud poker, a hand with a pair of aces and a pair of eights is known as the "dead man's hand." The phrase refers to the murder of "Wild Bill" Hickok who was shot with these two pairs in his hand.

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

I've had better conversations at the dentist!!!! This bar is absolute garbage!!! The pool table was missing not one but two b@lls (not sure why citysearch won't let me write that word but oh well) and the bartender refused to give me a refund for it. Why go somewhere where all the staff have a stick shoved somewhere???!!!?

Pros: 1st Ave is far enough away that I will never have to go back!!!

Cons: You name it!!

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

It sickens me to read some of these reviews on here. I moved to the UES a couple months ago and this happened to be one of the first places I checked out. First of all, the bartenders are gorgeous AND friendly. Go to any other bar and if you don't meet their standards they'll make you wait before they serve you. Also, where else could you get a pitcher for (i think) $10 (maybe less) and happy hour specials giving you 2 for 1 deal?...The food is great...the atmosphere is chill and you can be yourself amongst friends...OH and beer pong...my friends and I were able to play 5 rounds of beer pong (we won, of course) for under $30 ...that's A LOT of beer. the negativity is absurd...check it out and i PROMISE you'll see what i see.

Pros: bartenders, owners, atmosphere, happy hour, food

Cons: it closes at 4am like all the other bars
