What People Are Saying About Plug Uglies

The Scene – Scads of shoulder patches decorating the walls--donated by police officers and firefighters from all over New York, the U.S. and the world--give a solid indication of the patronage at this bar, half-ironically named for one of the city's old-time Irish gangs. Inside the dark green and wood-paneled space, the crowd of mostly male work buddies runs from working class on the early side to white collar later on, keeping tabs on the game over the bar. – – The Draw – For non-affiliated types, the main attraction--aside from $2 drafts at the long-lasting happy…

good tunes and shuffle puck

by seanoakes1

Been to this crappy bar a couple of times; but I'm not a regular. Service is poor at times, I know they are busy and whatnot. If it wasn't for the shuffle puck and good tunes, only the dregs of society would be caught dead in this place.

fun, affordable, fantastic happy hour, great late night spot

by khrisandkaty

I lived in New York for three years and luckily found this gem of a dive bar. Sad to say, I've been away for a couple years. I was thrilled to stop in and find that Plugs is still as fun as ever. Tonia is still behind the bar, working her magic. As always, the bartenders are fun and friendly, keeping locals and tourists happy and well taken care of. They've spruced up the place with new TV's, and the shuffleboard table and pool table are still great gathering spots. You can have a fantastic time here during happy hour, late night or as your main destination. Kudos to the bartenders & owners of this excellent NYC watering hole!

  • Pros: Service, value, shuffleboard
  • Cons: none

An old favorite

by uwsfls

This has been my favorite "dive" bar for about 6 years. Everyone who works there is extraordinarily friendly, and if you come in enough, you get to know the other regulars, who are also nice people. To the person above who mentioned the bartenders, it's spelled Tonia, she is the best bartender i've run into in many years of drinking. It not a "scene" place, but a great, friendly place to have a few beers, or go drinking with a group of friends.

  • Pros: Great bartenders, Not horrid prices, Laid back
