Better Burger(where)

Contributor

hidden in my favourite bar (American Trash) MTK specialises in seafood BUT do not leave without trying their double cheesburger!! Awesome, especially with Mark's spicy mayo (CIA trained chef n owner. Save money n split the humongous plate of fries. The best burger i ever ate.

Music AND Sports lovers refuge - real conversations, real people, real fun!

"I am a 26-year-old female from NYC (originally, not transplanted) and this is my all-time favorite bar and music venue. They have great original and cover bands from time to time as well as an eclectic crowd you rarely find in NYC anymore. As for keeping up with the Lower East Side dive bars, this bar was around before the LES was considered "cool" and before most of it's young patrons even knew what bars were so the comments made about it being a fake dive bar are ludicrous and only typical of those who chose to compartmentalize and label neighborhoods. It boasts an authentic group of people from all walks of life and neighborhoods - I travel all the way there from Washington Heights, and a bunch of my friends travel from downtown because it is unpretentious (the bartenders rock my world!) and you can start up a conversation about anything with almost anyone - not true of the pseudo-hipster/ self-righteous bars and crowds popping up all over our city. BE YOURSELF, MEET NEW PEOPLE, GO TO AMERICAN TRASH!

• Pros: Great Music (online jukebox!), Pool Table, Friendly and Cool Bartenders, People who aren't afraid to be themselves and meet new people
• Cons: It is a little male-heavy, so females come on over!

Best bar on the upper east side

This place rocks. The staff is wild and crazy. The drinks are always cheap and there is a happy hour everyday of the week. It has that old school New York rock and roll feel. And there is live music and never a cover. Great place to come when you want a down town feel while staying up town.
