Awesome bar!!

by DGBK

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

Great Customer Service - Geoff

by Meridien

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!

Rudest Bartender in the City!

by mickie227

My boyfriend and I went here last (Sunday 7/7/08) night to grab a couple beers for Happy Hour. From the moment we said Hello to the bartender he was rude. No pleasantries here- just "What do you want?!" And then once we mentioned that we wanted to do the 2 for 1 special he rolls his eyes with disgust. He slams down our Heinken's (which were not very cold) and flips us the two drink tickets. When we returned to the bar to redeem our beers he screams "Yeah, what do you want?!" At this point I am thinking to myself that we must part of hidden camera program or a practical joke. He claims us he is out of Heineken. Yeah, I bet! No problem, we'll take Amstel Lights. This guy was so rude! If a bar is going to advertise a happy hour special don't treat your partons like dirt when they order it. It makes sense why there were not many people taking advantage of the special here. If you do take your chances here- make sure you read the Happy Hour FAQ's posted on the bar. It says "Let's ALL get happy for Happy Hour" Maybe this guy should heed some of the Boxcar's advice!

• Pros: 2 for 1 special
• Cons: extremely rude bartender
