ambiance
100.0% positive
  1. For a Greenwich Village pub, the atmosphere is friendly and gives off the vibe as being a nice neighborhood hangout for locals.
  2. All in all, a good place to start or end your night in convenient location in the village -- just keep an eye on your tab and credit card.
  3. Great value for drinks and food - cocktails are $5, food is served until 2:50am and is affordable (between $4-$10) It's a fun atmosphere and very unpretentious.
  4. BSAH has a good location, good selection of beers, and better than good food, but with so many bars in NYC there are thousands of places that fit this bill.

food quality

  1. The wings are simply excellent, try them!
  2. So despite the great food and the attractive and attentive staff I have to say steer clear, unless, of course, you're really into figure skating.

service

  1. Not only did he cause the staff to lose out on respectable customers that know how to tip and appreciate good service, but he drove out people who were spending money in his establishment!
  2. Unbelievably rude owner

  5. Never, and I mean never, had any of us come across a more rude employee--believed to be either manager or owner(no one would give us a straight answer).
  6. feel sorry for the rest of the staff who were actually quite nice.
  7. So despite the great food and the attractive and attentive staff I have to say steer clear, unless, of course, you're really into figure skating.

Great old school sports bar!

by perfectd at Citysearch

Great old school place to catch any game as they have all the channels. Good people run this place and it's not a stuffy, overpriced nyc joint. The only place I found while I was in the city that had "real" people working there. Good food, good crowd and good fun.

Good After Work Bar

by tutu123 at Citysearch

A decent beer selection kicks off this after work bar. Happy hour daily, 5 to 7 if I recall. $3 draughts on Tuesdays. The wings are simply excellent, try them!

There is extra seating downstairs, along with a non-level pool table. There is no bar downstairs, you gotta go up to get served, but I was told that by arrangement, the management will take of that for you.

Overall a really nice bar!

  • Pros: Decent beer selection, good staff, great wings, lots of seat
  • Cons: Booth seating limits group size

Best Sports Bar In NYC!!!!!

by villagemuse at Citysearch

I love this place & have been "haunting" it for quite a few years now...Ever since they renovated this place into a state of the art Sports Bar I have become more than a regular. I think they are up to 17 HD screens. What an incredible place to watch a game(Go Giants!!!!). What I love is that they don't cater to 1 specific team... they play ALL the games. If there's a game on they've got it. As for the beer... they have a pretty decent selection. The food... incredible bar food. I don't know who made up the new menu but they definitely know their stuff! And in closing... one of the hottest bar staffs I've ever seen!! Hands off Merry, I got dibs... i saw her first.

  • Pros: Attentive & gorgeous staff. All sports. Great food. Great times.
  • Cons: Very popular so it can get overly crowded.

Awesome Sportsbar

by w4thnative at Citysearch

Just wanted to say that this joint is awesome. I've been frequenting there for quite a few years now . People that work there are cool. Just to address the issue of last Saturday... I was sitting at the bar across from the 2 tables that had an issue... that dude, I think his name was "Horse", is a bouncer there... not an owner... totally abused his power. I think that the situation has been remedied because I have not seen him there since the incident. Give it a 2nd chance... u won't be disappointed.

  • Pros: 17 games at a time
  • Cons: gets too crowded
