Ace Bar

Not the place it used to be

A tramatizing experience at Ace prompted me to write this review, to inform all the other long time east villagers like me to avoid ace bar on the weekends at all costs! - unless of course you favor meat markets, a space so crowded you can barely move, and a barely legal crowd. This friendly dive bar has turned into a place that actually has a LINE out the front on saturday night, and now resembles a chuckie cheese more than a dive bar. Thinking this would be a great place to get a bunch of people together, I was sadly disappointed. I have to say the poor waittress tried her best, but the mob like crowd of jersey kids and nyu students left her powerless! I guess this just goes with the overall trend of my once beloved east village - yuppies and college kids. A sad night indeed. It's too bad, ace bar used to be really fun, but this was just horrible.

• Pros: it's big, but that didn't seem to make a difference
• Cons: lines, horrible crowd, packed

There's nothing like a good old dive bar filled with

obnoxious, self-important hipster kids & east village wannabes. Please do not go here if you're looking for a fun bar with an exciting crowd.

Beers were way too expensive for this dump as well.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Staff/crowd annoying, Expensive beer, bad atmosphere
