Hope it reopens

by NYCBB

I truly miss this place. I went there when I first moved in the tri-state area and it became my "regular" spot after that. I really enjoyed the atmosphere especially during winter when they had the fireplace going.. A very cozy place. I liked the people that worked there. Hope it reopens one day.

• Pros: atmosphere, history and good for memories
• Cons: kinda smelled(old bar), but you learn to like it

I love(d) this place, just not on a Friday or Saturday night.

I really hope this amazing spot opens again. Though avoid it on an Friday or Saturday night. It's a mess with college kids and good luck trying to find a place to stand, let alone sit. And to get a drink you better grab 3 since you'll have to wait another hour in line.

But...I have spend a few afternoons with friends enjoying the atmosphere, food and beer. A classic place never to be forgotten (by me). And, I will never forget "finding" the "secret" door.

• Pros: Atmosphere, friendly staff and locals
• Cons: Other than it's closed... Friday & Saturday nights
