Editorial Review for Manitoba's – by Raven Snook
The Scene
Punk rock is alive and well in this retro Alphabet City dive named for and run by Handsome Dick Manitoba, lead singer of the Dictators. This transporting venue boasts dark oak paneling, appropriately low lighting, and a fabulous collection of candid, vintage rock and roll photos: Debbie Harry, Joey Ramone, Iggy Pop, Sid Vicious, all legends, all Manitoba's contemporaries. The handpicked, kick-ass jukebox selection includes everything from KISS to the Clash. The Monday night party Garageland! features tight rock sets, attracting both old-school icons and newbie upstarts.
The Draw
Cheap beer and shots, and little pretension make this a welcome alternative to the tired neighborhood lounges. It's loud, it's sweaty, it's anarchy in the U.S. dammit! If you hung out at CBGBs back in the day, don't be surprised if you run into some old buddies.

Insider Tips

Manitobas is an ok,no frills gin mill.Some cool photos of old time punk rockers and a pretty good juke.Only thing is I was there at like,midnight on a friday and the place was almost empty.Probably a good spot to meet up with friends before heading for someplace more jumpin'.
Pros: good juke-cool photos
Cons: not too busy-seems kinda tired

best bar in the east village. good bartenders,good drinks. nothing fancy shamancy, but who needs it? I don't know what the person that wrote the bad review is talking about. the place doe not smell anyworse then half the trendy little overpriced bars in the village. People here are friendly, its defiently NOT yuppie, and if you've seen the jukebox you have no room to complain.
Pros: great bartenders,authentic
Cons: ?
