What People Are Saying About Greenwich Treehouse

Featured Review

In Short – Looking out over Greenwich Avenue, this family-owned bar, in keeping with its name, is dressed in green and brown with a few painted trees serving as decor. The small stage sees a lot of action, from stand-up comics to random dancing. Other amenities include a digital jukebox and arcade games like Big Buck Hunter, Nintendo Wii, Guitar Hero and flip cup, with various nights devoted to tournaments. The highly social set of regulars will vouch for seasonal drinks like the pumpkin pie martini and invite you to join along in whatever they're doing. – – Hits: Addicted…

Editor's Tips

Food Served:
The Treehouse offers a small menu of reasonably priced sandwiches, salads and other snacks, and if that's not what you're hungry for, they're happy to have something delivered from a local eatery of your choosing.
Happy Hour:
Stop by between 5pm and 8pm for $4 house drinks and $3 drafts every weekday except Tuesday, when the bar offers free comedy shows instead.
Fun Fact:
The bar has been known to attract mods and a local scooter club called the Checkered Demons for monthly meetups.
The Extras:
In addition to the jukebox and video games in the backroom, there's an 80-inch projector TV that usually features old Buster Keaton flicks.

Our Epic Night At The Greenwich Treehouse

by skymannearth

When you begin a night of barhopping you do so on the premise of getting really drunk with a group of friends. However, deep down inside you truly hope to discover a bar so incredible that you never need to barhop again. After wondering into the Greenwich Treehouse this Saturday night our days of barhopping are behind us. The bartenders were as awesomely available and personable as you can ever hope for. When we got hungry we found out we could order food in. Honestly I feel the need to give this place a great review because of how incredible it was but I still deeply fear other people discovering it and it then losing it's charm.

  • Pros: Quality staff, Great vibe, Great prices
  • Cons: The ATM didn't work.

All kinds of awesome

by AVR , Citysearch Contributor

The Treehouse is an adorable pub, a quaint step up from a dive. The front is a wall of windows that in warmer months open up to peer out on to Greenwich Ave.

Monday night trivia - cash prize. Losers get a round of free shots. Trivia participants get two for one drinks.

They've also got a Wii.

The front room offers plenty of seating for those wanting to take a load off, or who wore impractical footwear.

Free Wi-Fi and Mac power connections.

The back room offers two fun finds - a faux fireplace that doesn't look like it came from "Bob's Furniture".

And then over to the left, you will find a tiny little enclave, with great wood doors, intimate seating, and a window.

Now, although they don't serve food - just ask the bartender and they will hand you a bucket full of menus and have your grub delivered.

You did afterall score that table by the "fireplace" and don't want to give that up.

  • Pros: CHEAP happy hour, fun trivia, faux fireplace

Great place for a Beer

by Lewis101

I met some friends downtown for Happy Hour after work, because I wanted to have a relief from the daily stress of work and partake in some drinking.

The Greenwich Treehouse happy hour started at 5pm when the first football game of the day started...they only seem to get crowded about an hour before the the Happy Hour begins.

The bartender was pretty cool...he's like a slimmed down Seth Rogen. He'll have a drink with you and carry a pleasant conversation.

The layout of the bar is interesting, with some high stools by the bar, and a cool section up front in the window overlooking Greenwich Ave. There is a secret room in the far back corner that my friends started calling the "boom boom" room. It seats about 6 people comfortably, and there is no television in that room, but there is a window overlooking the backyard. There's also a really cool "back room" with a long table surrounded by chairs and a giant TV over a non-working fireplace. This is where we hung out...it's about three steps to the bar and three steps to the bathroom and three steps to the video games. It was the perfect room.

This bar is awesome in my book for one main reason: Connect Four. When you have no interest in sports on the tv, its' really fun to play a game or two of Connect Four (with friends or strangers). See how alcohol affects your strategy.

I really liked the Greenwich Treehouse, and I'd go back, but even at 5:30pm on a Thursday, it was pretty crazy. Maybe it's the fellowship with the co-workers that makes this place a blast for happy hour

  • Pros: Great Happy Hour and Beer Selection
  • Cons: none

BEAT THE CLOCK AWESOMENESS

by AshleyLT

I've never seen beat the clock in the city until I found this place. I used to beat the clock down the shore when I was in college, but this is even better because the beer selection is unlimited for the same price. You can get very happy for happy hour with less than $20. I leave work early on Thursdays as often as I can to make it for this special. 5-6PM $1 Beers (any kind) 6-7PM $2, 7-8PM $3. Amazing dive bar and a great place to hang out with friends and blow off steam after work.

  • Pros: Cheapest Happy Hour in NYC if you dig beer!
