Editorial Review for Crocodile Lounge – by Aaron Schielke
In Short
This East Village dive uses the same successful bait as Williamsburg brother bars the Alligator Lounge and Capone's--a free personal pizza with every drink. A steady flow of students, locals and suits dig into the piping-hot pies, perhaps washing them down with a pint of the bar's signature Croc Ale. The subterranean barroom is, not surprisingly, reptilian-themed (crocodile heads and tails poke through the ceiling), but more unusual is the Skee Ball machine in the rear game room.

Well for one thing I say the name is misnomer as the place is more of a neighborhood bar than a lounge. That and I couln't find any crocodiles anywhere ; ). The place is packed full of the NYU crowd on the weekends and who could blame them. Free pizza w. your beer is too good an offer to pass up. And to be honest the pizza is actually pretty damn good. They have there very own pizza oven so you get a piping hot and fresh pie every time. The service is good and the bartenders are usually friendly enough. There are some fun old school game to pass the time away too.

If you're vegan like me, just ask them to leave the cheese off of the pizza. They're fine with doing that. Go in the afternoon for a cheap lunch. Order a Yuengling ($3), get your free pizza, and shoot the stuff with your buddies for a while.
Pros: cheap, nice bartenders, varied crowd
Cons: sometimes your pizza order gets misdelivered
