WASTE OF TIME

by totalbs14

went in with a friend of mine who was known..he was taken care of, me, ignored..it was fine, sitting there partying with Yousif(owner) all night...then the bill comes...it doesn't matter who you know, $200 for beers and two apps, which btw the staff had no problem helping us eat. forget this place, there is plenty of other bars around like the Bullpen that take care of people

  • Pros: none
  • Cons: rip off

Incredible looking waitresses!

by NYRocksMe

All well endowed, reminded of a Sinfield episode :) The bartender was stunning as well!! (She should be doing modeling work)

Nice atmosphere, nice size TV monitors. Had an appetizer and was very good. Bathrooms were being redone, not a big deal for me though. Going back to check out the waitresses ;)

  • Pros: Hot waitresses!
  • Cons: Hot waitresses! :)

A rip-off with attitude

by hydepark76

It's the Upper East Side. Not the Meatpacking District. Not Greenwich Village. The Upper East Side. So why must this place try and impersonate a nightclub - complete with inattentive service and downright hostile, we-don't-give-a-@#&% service? Allegedly a sports bar, Bounce bombards anyone trying to watch its washed-out flat screens with the doof-doof-doof of a bad DJ. Note to Bounce: You're not a club. You're just a sports bar! Try turning up the sound on the game once in a while. And while you're at it, if a customer has a legitimate complaint, why not offer an attentive ear instead of the puffed-out chest of a defensive manager more suited to be a rent-a-cop? The last straw was being hustled by one of those tarts who wields a tray full of Jell-O shots. After buying three for $3 each, I handed over a $20 and was told I would not be entitled to change. I had to demand my change from the bartender. When I complained about it, I was surrounded by three thugs and escorted out the door. Thankfully, there are too many better sports bars to go.

  • Cons: Inattentive service, hostile attitude

DO NOT GO - worst experience ever - manager attacked my friend

by sportsfan1001

My friend and I went to Bounce to grab a bite, drink a couple beers, and watch some playoff games. It wasn't exceptionally crowded but there was only one waitress and she was obviously overwhelmed. It took us 10 minutes to get a beer and 20 minutes to order after that. For second beer we gave up getting the waitress' attention after 10 minutes and just went to the bar ($22 for 2 Sam Adams it turns out).

The food came out quickly, but was mediocre at best. When we got the check, we saw that the drinks from the table next to us had been added to our check. 10 minutes later, we got the correct check. The manager delivered the check to us, and my friend took the opportunity to tell him the service was unacceptable, particularly because he'd been chatting with his friends and dancing with the waitress the whole time. He proceeded to lean across the table and start yelling that she was wrong and that she didn't know what she was talking about. I had to put my arm out and push him away because he was being so aggressive. We paid our check and were walking out when the manager called across the bar "have a good night ladies", winked and blew a kiss at us. I have honest.ly never seen such appalling behavior - from the MANAGER. I assure you neither me nor any of my friends will ever go back to this place, and recommend that you do the same.

  • Cons: Manager yells at customers, blah food, bad service

The best sports bar!

by alison79

I went to Bounce on a recommendation by a friend and I will definitely be passing on the recommendation! I went for lunch on Saturday to watch the game and had the wings-I have to say some of the best I've had-the sauce was great and plenty of meat. The bartenders were really friendly and gave great service with a smile(which is sometimes hard to find in New York)and I ended up staying for much longer than I had planned! Well done Bounce-I will definitely be coming back with friends!

  • Pros: Great service, great value, accommodating to your sport preference
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

This place rocks!!!

by sportsaficianado

We came here on a Saturday night with all of my buddies to watch the game at the bar and we couldn't believe the vibe, the service, the music and how cool the bartenders were! Michelle and Jen are hot and fabulous and they really know how to treat people well. The DJ was killing it too! Now we love this place, not only to watch sports,but now we like coming just to hang out all of the time. It really is, hands down, the best bar in Manhattan.

  • Pros: Hot staff, ambience, music, vibe
  • Cons: NOTHING
