decent beer selection, no food, friendly bar-tender, strange number of blondes

by drink_club1

It was a strange little bar in the west village. Lots of TVs, that's not so strange. Lots of blondes... that IS strange... for New York anyway. New York doesn't do blondes, except for the over 45 set who figures blond is the best way to hide gray. But these were co-eds, clustered around each other, dancing, being talked to by the yuppish guys who you would expect to be at a sports bar. Weird crew. But we met some nice folks. A soccer team and some folks outside who said they'd show up next time.

There was no food in the place, but they had a bunch of menus to order in. No prob! The bartender was nice. There was a decent beer selection. --DrinkClubNYC is a roving group of NYC drinkers

• Pros: good beer selection, friendly staff and crowd
• Cons: no food

Satisfactory neighborhood bar

by nyc232w24

Great neighborhood bar with a friendly staff. I love dropping in on weekend afternoons to catch a game with friends. It can get VERY crowded during large sporting events however so be forewarned. I enjoy sneaking back to play some pool, but the restrooms on the way back have much to be desired as far as cleanliness and size. Overall a good nearby place (who can dislike the goldfish!) which fulfills my local waterhole desires.

Great Bartender

by mean_don

Great Bartender & jukebox. Short of alcohol, what else do you need? While not a destination bar, it is a great neighborhood bar.

• Pros: Great bartender, great jukebox, fun atmosphere.
• Cons: No food (except bar snacks)
