What People Are Saying About Macdougal Street Ale House

In Short
On touristy MacDougal Street, this brick-walled, downstairs dive keeps a relatively low profile. Its eclectic crowd--blue-collar workers, neighborhood residents, NYU students and bridge-and-tunnelers--come for the pool table, dart board and Galaga/Ms. Pacman game, as well as for the laid-back vibe. Guests can choose among 12 beers on tap, 12 bottles selections, and a full bar, which offers daily drink specials.

Well I'm beginning to think that the bartenders have never heard of a buy back...I bought several rounds of 4 or more drinks per round and not a single buy back. I don't like how the jukebox doesn't play songs by itself if no one has put money in it. I think there should always be music playing whether or not people are putting money in the jukebox. If they wanna here something specific they'll put money in it but otherwise just let go on random. The drinks are relatively cheap and so is the bear. That being said, the bartenders poor light on the mixed drinks, takes a lot more drinks here to get buzzed than it would at another bar. The crowd is pretty good I suppose, nothing to complain about there. The pool table works fine but the dart boards are ugly and so are the score boards.

This place was the pits. The owner never cracks a smile and if your not a regular the bartenders aren't nice. This place used to be fun. The place was sold and these new people don't know how to keep things fun!!!!!!!!!!!! What a dive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know what the previous reviewer was smoking but the bartenders (especially Nicole) are by far the best part about this place. This gal pours a mean Guinness/Jameson's combo like no other! These ladies are friendly, courteous (so long as you're not a dick/bitch to them) and an absolute dream to deal with. Treat them like YOU want to be treated and you'll have no problems from them or the regulars (like myself) who regard them as extended family. If you're a sports nut, they've got a bunch of flat screen TVs to watch the games on, a plethora of menus to order in for your pre/post booze munchy fix, darts to hurl at a back wall and a pool table in front to hustle your closest friends into buying the next round of drinks with! What's not to love about this place? So ignore that ignorant troll and drop by the bar for a pint or two today!
