Been living on the UWS for 2 years now and drop in Burbon a few times a month...whether it be late night, happy hour or on a Fri/Sat night, there is always something going on...bartenders are always wasted and a great time, girls dance on the bar, can play some pool, watch some games, & even order food and bring it over. Bouncers are great guys and always treat you with respect. The Wed & Thurs Happy Hr's are def a deal with .50 coors & bud's. Def a great neighborhood spot! Keep up the good work!

Pros: Cute Girl Bartenders, Drink Deals, TV's, Pool Table, Good Music, Good Times, Good People!

Cons: Sometimes cramped or a lot of dudes but you can try another bar in the area and then come back later

Went on Friday night for the 50-cent Bud draft special. Just as advertised couldn't believe it. Loved the open front and all the TVs. My new favorite spot for Fridays

Pros: great drink specials

Cons: gets packed

Thanks for the review stating we are worst place based on your one visit , I am sorry that you were subjected to the unprofessional behavior of one of our bartenders. He was in his first week at the bar and was fired on that very same day you were there at 9pm. I can assure you that our bartenders and staff in general are professional and fun. Anyone who has been to the bar can atest to that, I would welcome you to come back and give us another try. We have been in bussiness for 15 years and have taken part in at least 100 fundraisers and other comunity events. Again thanks for the tag "worst bar ever" we do deserve it for having that nut behind the bar Thank you , management

Pros: friendly staff , great drink specials , lots of TVs to watch the game

We went to this bar (and a bunch of other's on the Upper West Side) last Friday. We enjoyed this bar the most. The crowd was good looking and friendly and so was the staff. The drinks were pretty cheap and the music was great (mix of rock and hip hop). The bar just seemed to have a good feel/vibe to it. It seemed like everyone was having a great time and we ended up having a great time too.

Pros: Location, Cheap Drinks, Fun Mixed Crowd

Cons: Crowded, A Little bit of a wait for the girls bathroom

This place is insane! Its a great place to dance and haved a good time, but there is nowhere to sit and they definitely serve you drinks in plastic cups.... Overall I had a good time there and dancing on the bar is a blast!

Pros: music is awesome, good dancing

Cons: too crowded at points of the night

I've been here the last 4 Years on Sunday for football, great place to chill and watch the games. After the giants sent 3 tables of Eagles fans home upset they paraded an Eagle Mascot around the bar in a Giants Jersery good fun. What the last reviewer is talking about is beyond me. Most Sundays you will recognize the same faces, the people come every week year after year. He might be that Jets fan who wanted to turn off the Giant game, which was in OT so he could watch the Jets. I saw the bartenders throw him out, it was kinda funny. His friends stayed and drank beer the rest of the day, and said he was idoit and always gets thrown out. Again I'm just guessing it was him " GangGreen "

Pros: Great sunday drink specials, with lots of TVs

Cons: Can get crowed

Don't waste your time and money on a dump like this where the management is extremely rude and unaccommadating. On an avenue where sports bars and cheap drinks abound, this place does nothing to stand out or welcome its customers This would be the last spot I'd go to on the UWS.

Pros: None

Cons: Rude Staff

nothing special. mediocre at best. i could've had a better impression of the bar had not the man working outside, who we believe wasnt even a bouncer, said right in front of my friend, "she's hideous." (she was Miss. Korea 2005) its one thing to say it behind someone's back, and its another to say it right in front of her face and reply "oh i was talking about your breasts." (that wasnt the actual word for 'breasts' that he used but citysearch wouldnt publish the actual word) thats just rude and unproffessional. and as far as i was concerned there was nothing special about the bar to have to be selective with the crowd. everyone inside seemed mainly like underage college kids. i guess its a decent place to stop by for a drink (because it's pretty cheap) before heading out somwhere better.

Pros: cheap drinks

Cons: cheap atmosphere

Editor's Review

An Upper West Sider more akin to "Animal House" than Dixieland jazz.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

Happy Hour

Get two-for-one drink specials on "pretty much everything," according to the bartender, weekdays until 8pm.
