Pathetic

by Aloq at Citysearch

Interesting that the review below was suddenly written after a remarkably bad one. It's obvious that it was written by either the management or someone who works there. Shameless. The bouncers are on an ego trip, the frat boy factor is disturbingly high..this place is just not worth it. The purpose of these reviews is to be truthful. It's not whining if it's true. Maybe the owners should work on improving the staff and atmosphere (and actually carding the kiddies) instead of writing their own misguided reviews attempting to bolster their rapidly waning reputation. There really are so many other far better places in the area where you won't get hassled, or fall victim to a bouncer's ego trip. The one time I've ever been there it was dirty, loud, and filled with teeny boppers. I am sure more positive reviews will suddenly crop up after this one. In the end it doesn't matter, this place will continue to get the kind of customers that keeps the rest of us far far away.

• Pros: Cheap drinks
• Cons: Everything else

One of the best UES bars

by UESbartenderess at Citysearch

Its so funny to see these reviews from whiny people. As a bartender myself, at another UES establishment, and a patron of aces and eights I see an entirely different persepctive. If you get kicked out because you're starting problems at the beer pong tables i dont feel sorry for you, and dont belive the validity of the review because all the bouncers there are really great. If the bartender cancels your music its most likely because it kills the mood (I.E. The virve pipe at any bar even though i love the song). Especially on a busy night music is KEY to keeping people upbeat and drinking at any place. Everyone there is always cool, the owners are always around to solve any disputes so ask(!), and its cheap for a bar of its type.

As for adding tips to credit cards Id like to see some proof for that claim!!!?? Because that is a serious accusation.

Aces is NOT the bar for everyone, but Ive been drinking there for years and always have a stellar time. Don't let spoiled, whiny people who cry whenever every whim isnt met put you off.

And the food is actually really good for bar food and the kitchen is open until 2 on weekends!

• Pros: Great happy hour 2 for 1, good food for a bar, fun bartenders, owners who are always there drinking with you
• Cons: Everytime im at aces i end up getting very drunk
