most entertaining bartender in NYC

by ivahhc

We went on a Saturday night and the little chalkboard did not lie! Jen The Bartender swallowed fire, did rope tricks, and card tricks for all. We kid you not. A fire-eating bartender. The music was a tad loud, but oh well :) Worth it!

• Pros: fun, magic, inexpensive
• Cons: parking, loud

A Fun Time To Be Had By All

by RingMaster

This little bar attracts a wide mix of customers into it's bright happy space decorated with album covers and vintage bobbleheads. Owned by an artist and run by artists. It's just about as down to earth and refreshing as any place you'll find on the Lower East Side. The Happy Hour is an incredible value, but the later night crowd gets jumpin to the bright new guest dj's. There's a downstairs room too for overflow crowds and for private parties. Fun!

• Pros: Fresh, Fun, Kitschy
• Cons: no hard liquor

In Short
Formerly a dark dive, this revamped, LP-themed neighborhood bar has thrown open its doors to let the light--and the happy locals--in. With stools up front that make the perfect perch for people-watching, the Essex-facing space features DJ nights, a selection of beer and fine wines, and one of the more generous happy hours on the Lower East Side.
