What People Are Saying About 99 Below

Citysearch
In Short – In summer, a post-work crowd chats at the bar of this basement-level Irish-owned pub, but from September onward party-seeking NYU students reclaim their position as the neighborhood's dominant species. 99 Below provides for both factions with cheap beer, as well as an estimable selection of American bourbon and Irish and Scottish whiskey, a menu that runs from mozzarella sticks to miso-glazed grilled salmon, and a jukebox that's replaced with a DJ on the weekends. – – Hits: The lack of cheesy Irish signifiers such as flags, football memorabilia, and cutesy…

Kitchen is closed!

The sign says restaurant although the kitchen is closed. When you order food they deliver it from a bar across the street. Not to sanitary! Another example of a poorly run establishment that will soon be out of business.
- Pros: None

over-crowded, too loud, but great bartenders who work really hard!

(This bar is at the site of the famous 1980s record label/store 99 records.) I'm an idiot! I figured that since it was the week before Christmas break, all the annoying NYU students would be on vacation, annoying people in their hometowns in Iowa and Suffolk Country. I expected the bar to be empty, except for us! Whoa! WRONG! Even at 9:30, the tiny place was as crowded as the Okakyu during rush hour. You couldn't f*rt (I don't censor. C*tysearch does.) without rustling someone's skirt. We tried gathering around a couple small tables low on the floor. As our crowd grew, we used one of the tables as a chair, but it just wasn't enough. Besides the music was so loud, we needed extra napkins to mop up the blo*d leaking from our ears. The bartenders were friendly (more than can be said for the crowd) and made an effort to keep up. They even remembered who was on the Drink Club tab. But it was uncomfortable, and the crowd was not cozying up. We left for more commodious places. --Drink Club is a roving group of NYC drinkers
- Pros: efficient, friendly bartenders
- Cons: too crowded, too small,
