A Bar you can go to alone but you won't be lonely

by Bluzeman221

I went there recently after-work on a mid-week night. The bartenders were great, knowledgeble and non-assuming (as in No Attitude). I could not believe the recession low prices of the top-shelf drinks! Why should the Bartender/owner buy-back drinks ? Be sure to TIP the bartenders like you mean it /appreciate their service (No I am not a bartender and I don't know Subway employees...it is just the right thing to do at those low prices) . The juke box music was kicking A** and taking Names! everybody seemed to be in their own conversation , having fun and not boasting about where they work or went to college, thus I appreciate the older local patrons who frequent this place, they could care less about your resume, just kick back, relax and act responsibly. This is a hidden dive bar gem and I will definitely go back.

a place that the new NYC forgot

by BillySilo

Nearly every time I end up here it turns in to an event of some sort. We run in to friends and go there, then more friends show up from out of no where. Which is kind of too bad because it's the type of place that would be good to just park yourself on a barstool and soak in the atmosphere.

Sure, it's a dive, but there is something oddly grand about the place. Like it's a place that the new NYC forgot about.

It's got a good juke box and the drinks are a great price. I've stumbled out of this place many times.

• Pros: Cheap drinks, great atmosphere

Give unto Caesar

by omnipoe

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)

• Pros: bartenders attentive and knowledgible jukebox pours out molten metal
• Cons: Mcgraff but he's fired

A best kept secret

by Beefhooked

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 :)

Needs Better Bartenders

by HannahSmith

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!
