The Scene
Boxcar's narrow space won't leave claustrophobes squirming. Think Amtrak, East Village-style: Corrugated iron on one wall recalls a shiny train-car interior, exposed brick on the other adds a little grit, and the large, gilt-edged mirrors scattered about reflect the candlelight. The glass-and-metal bar area at the front is sleek and chic, while the lounge area at the back has cushioned seating along one wall and soft couches, stools and tiny tables along the other. When the weather's warm, sit outside in the back; with a fountain and lovingly tended garden; it's paradise.
The Draw
The bar's beefy drink list runs the gamut--from the boxcar martini, a mix of vodka and plum wine, to more tangy affairs, such as the sweet and sour martini, made with Island Blue Pucker and pineapple juice. The six tap beers are served in 20-ounce pints, and bottled beer, wine and sangria are available.

Awesome bar, highly recommended Cozy and intimiate, only been there on weekday nights but never too crowded and able to get a table. Drink special is unreal and until 10! Do not know about the previous posts but the wait staff was nothing if not courteous to me, again highly recommend for after work/date place

When I think of a saturday night out, I could go to Tenjune, Marquee, or any wanna be pop culture hangout in the LES....but I prefer the Boxcar. Why? I've never had or seen any jerks at this place. It's like a secret bar you can take over with a bunch of friends and just chill. It's not a fashion show yet it's often filled with mid twenty somethings looking to chat with friends. If you're freaking out over a Heineken 2 for 1 special, you should know that if you bought two Heine's at the Boxcar you're getting a deal anyway. I'm so sick of overrated bs bars that charge 15 dollars for a beer. It's incredible, this is the only city that gets more expensive to party during a "recession". Geoff is the best bartender. He's super friendly and has his own unique style. If it weren't for Geoff, people wouldn't flock to this place to have a good time. Thank you Geoff for all you've done for us. You're a great person and we love you! Mer

Boxcar is a cute little place to go. THe decor is a bit on the rustic side but if you get here early and get a seat you will definitely be comfortable on their mismatched couches. They also have a nice little outdoor garden to enjoy he weather. The have a great drink special where you get drinks buy one get one. Just don't expect friendly service. The bartender was a little gruff and inpatient. I didn't care as long as I got my silly drinks!
