What People Are Saying About Subway Inn Inc

From the red neon curves and glass bricks of the exterior to the dust-encrusted deco veneer and mirrors of the bar, this place (which dates back to the 1930s) is classically dingy. Admire some of the worst amateur art known to man and rows of filthy, inexplicable tchotchkes. Drinks are cheap and the crowd is low-key, local and mostly drunk. A few hipsters might be found plunking quarters into the jukebox and tossing back recession-friendly $4 shots, but this is one of the few cool, old-New York places where youngsters are in the minority and old-timers reign supreme.

Greatest dive bar, bar none! Cheap beer cheap shots!! Where else can you listen to Slayer while downing 5 dollar shots of Makers Mark and 5 dollar Amstels? Forget it's uptown location,this is what oldschool bars used to be like! The bartenders are the best ! AWESOME jukebox, dingy dirty gritty just like the people who drink there.Cash only and no draft beer so what. Remember tip your bartender (the way they dress it looks like they need it)

I proposed to my wife in this bar twenty years ago and I'm glad to see it hasn't changed, it still retains the same NY charm that it always had, from the plushness of the seating to it's intimate booths, this is THE place to bring that special date. This bar reminds me of Cheers, you know the place where everybody knows your name, and hey, if they don't when you walk in, you bet y'all will make friends before you leave, why you can even leave your phone number on the bathroom wall if you're not one of the Facebook generation! In summary, great atmosphere, ideal location, great drink selection (they have a top notch sommolier) warn friendly faces all around :)

Used to be great but now seems to employ useless bar tenders who look like they should be employed as part of a rapper's entourage or outside a nightclub as opposed to being behind a dive bar. Buy-backs? Nope! Waiting for 15 minutes to get served in a half empty bar while the bar tender pops peanuts into his mouth and increases the girth of his already flabby belly? Check! Management - get some new bar keeps!
