Editorial Review for 1020 Bar – by Daniel Voloch
The Scene
Frat boys on the prowl aren't the only thing you have to watch out for at this popular Columbia watering hole. With a busy dart board perched precariously near the entrance, just getting through the door requires speed and agility. Safely inside, however, be prepared to experience college bar life at its fullest--beer flows freely as throngs of students crowd around the pool table, listening to blaring alterna-rock and watching sports and sitcoms on the big screen TV, checking one another out all the while.
The Draw
Since the room is packed every night of the week, arrive early if you want to snag a comfy booth or one of three antique dentist chairs. Open up and say "aah," as you enjoy cheap drinks, nice conversation and a lovely view of the awe-inspiring St. John the Divine cathedral across the street.

I host a trivia night pub quiz at 1020 every Tuesday night so I am at the 1020 a lot. It's a great bar, with booths so you can sit with your friends and large tables in the front and back of the joint if you are with a large group. The beer is dirt cheap for NYC. On the weekends it is full of college kids making it crowded and impossible to play darts. There is a also a beaten up old pool table that takes quarters to play. The bartenders are chill and work hard to serve people quickly. Here is info on the Trivia Night. Every Tuesday at 8pm Live hosted trivia game with a fun, relaxed atmosphere. Come in for pub quizzes, prizes, and friendly people! Best of all it's FREE! Win bar tabs! and Junk Food!!! Prizes for 1st, 2nd and third place teams. Prizes for funniest team names and funniest wrong answers.
Pros: cheap drinks trivia night
Cons: crowded on weekends

cool place except for the creepy bald bartender with the serial-killer glasses. Was he hired to scare away customers? Because it's working.
