Do not go here. Awful owners. Awful bartenders

by epodds at Citysearch

The bartenders here are seriously awful. I would never ever give this place another dime. The girl that rmanages the bar is seriously immature and doesn't let in any attractive females because she can't handle the competition. If you're female and trying to get a drink, good luck. Her daddy gave her the bar, and she thinks she owns the world because of it. It's an obnoxious place - there's millions of cool places to go in the east village. This is not one of them.

Waste of a great bar space

by oldpantsnewjersey at Citysearch

Went here with a couple buddies the night before Thanksgiving and it was almost completely empty. I fed the jukebox some money and the bartenders immediately started skipping my songs. Then they threw us out after we finished our first round. Sorry for trying to give you drips some business. You won't have to worry about that again!

• Pros: Nice looking space, but...
• Cons: Total dicklickers behind the bar

Not anymore

by abbeke at Citysearch

Used to be my regular from about '94 until a couple of years ago when all the mainstays were forced out so the owner's daughter could make it her pet project. No more edgy characters, more more gritty LES classic - it's now frat party all the way. A crying shame.

• Pros: NY landmark, jukebox
• Cons: college bar, too loud, getting commercial

avoid! avoid! avoid!

I used to *love* this place. Then, they fired one half of the reason I used to go there. The other half of the reason I was still sometimes going there quit a few weeks ago, and I'm surprised he lasted that long. The management must have changed or something, because this place is a major downer now. It was reliably good until about 2 or 2.5 years ago. Now...forget it. Also, the dive bar rep is a total misnomer: well drinks are $6!

• Pros: none
