    After googling for good financial district pubs, my partner and I decided on the Iron Horse & we definitely felt we made a great decision. Great music, bar staff were fantastic & entertaining, drinks well priced and the crowd was good too. Well definitely be back.

  • Review 2 (2018-08-03 - Rating: 4)

    The $10 burger and beer special is a great deal. The burger is pretty good! The bartender and staff were also friendly. However you do feel like you need a shower after leaving the place.

    As a travel agent: Come check out this place, especially on the 4th of July for Free BBQ -Games and more. Inside is another kind of fun !They set up a block party fundraiser with hair raising activities. People line up and wait for a burger or hot dog in the heat cause its free but you can give a donation to wounded soldiers.it also comes with sides, coleslaw, & macaroni salad.Join up for the $5 raffle for the tasty pig that rotates all day.Inside get a beer, or dance on the bar. If you have the courage try the swing. . This goes on from noon to 8.On Sunday they have free food with the purchase of a drink.Its filled with bikers and really great people. Dance on by and say Hi.A really fun place to be-I am a return consumer!

    This place is off the wall. Never wouldve expected to find a place like this in the heart of suit country. Fantastic prices, completely unpretentious. Food is good after a few pints & shots. Leave the stick in your ass at the door.

  • Review 5 (2017-07-18 - Rating: 4)

    It is a mainly just a bar. They do make good burgers during the day. The is a pool table, jukebox, photo booth and swing over the bar. Female barmaids do get on the bar to dance and swing. Day time they can get busy.

  • Review 6 (2018-07-27 - Rating: 4)

    Stopped in for 15min to check it out. Definitely worth it! Spend $5 on the wheel of misfortune and get a surprise shot. Stay 5 more min and some talented chick will swing and dance on the bar.

  • Review 7 (2016-05-16 - Rating: 4)

    Best local joint I have found yet downtown. Had beer and nachos at 630pm on a Monday. Music was great, not crowded and cheap. Exactly what I was looking for.

    Stopped in for a drink after a concert at Rooftop Pier 17. The Iron Horse was great! Reasonable prices and so much fun.

  • Review 10 (2018-03-15 - Rating: 5)

    The best bar in town. Amazing drinks and service!! Youll automatically feel like home.

  • Review 11 (2018-05-02 - Rating: 5)

    Burgers are great, especially for the price. Ignore the dive bar decor - the drinks are affordable and the ambiance is fun!

  • Review 12 (2018-10-11 - Rating: 5)

    Visited this place for the first time and it is pretty crazy and fun. The beautiful bartender is friendly and up for your crazy challenge you have for yourselves. When we visited we were entertained by some bikers, who used the swing on top of the bar, also danced on the bar and more crazy things. Would definitely visit again.

  • Review 13 (2017-09-12 - Rating: 5)

    Even though its a dive bar... I can promise you a great time!Also drinks are cheap. 🍷

    Dark, grungy, fun and a swing over the bar. A bit of Williamsburg dive minus the hipsters located in the Financial District

  • Review 46 (2018-06-15 - Rating: 5)

    A classic dive bar. The price just cannot be beat, and for that alone it gets 5 stars!

  • Review 47 (2018-05-05 - Rating: 5)

    Love this place for years...service is great...frendly atmosphere.

  • Review 48 (2016-12-22 - Rating: 4)

    Really cool and classy spot tucked away on Mission Street behind some big steel doors! I came here to support a fundraiser -- good excuse to treat myself! Reservations were all booked up, but never a problem for a barfly! Two stars for the full menu being available at the bar, one star for the service, one star for the atmosphere. Minus a star because Jack is not served here!My bartender, Colleen, was very welcoming, and patiently helped me navigate the menu. The Smoked Salmon hit the spot. Next time I will ask for more chips! Next visit I hope to try the Sesame fried curry chicken, if its still on the menu.Busy atmosphere, but the vibe was short of noisy. This could be a good place to (impress) invite a friend for some conversation, and good eating.

  • Review 49 (2018-03-25 - Rating: 5)

    Every time I try leaving this bar not wasted, I miserably fail.

  • Review 50 (2018-10-07 - Rating: 5)

    Rowdy and fun place to have drinks and usual bar food. There’s a swing above the bar that you can actually ride and dancing on top of the bar is also encouraged. The beautiful bartenders put on a show of various talents which is quite entertaining. This is my usual hangout spot. 😊💜

  • Review 51 (2016-09-28 - Rating: 5)

    One of the most happening bars one can find. Must go.

  • Review 52 (2016-10-04 - Rating: 5)

    This is an amazing bar with good food, good drinks, with a great atmosphere. This is a great place to go during lunch or after work. The bartenders are cool too, all but one. Her name is Raquel I believe she begs for tips even after me and my group kept tipping she still complained. Otherwise the place is great

  • Review 53 (2017-11-12 - Rating: 4)

    This place is actually pretty fun if you go with groups. Fortune wheel ($5 each) is definitely a nice addition. You can also pole dance/swing on the bar/pool.

  • Review 54 (2017-12-30 - Rating: 4)

    Nice place for drinks. Good food. Sexy atmosphere. BEAUTIFUL! People, friendly. Sports screen, photo both & Juke Box.... oh... & pool table.

  • Review 55 (2018-05-17 - Rating: 4)

    Very fun place indeed! It was my first time being there but the bartenders are so polite and very fun to talk to, they even show me some tricks. Hands down to you guys ill be back

  • Review 56 (2017-11-10 - Rating: 5)

    Without a doubt THE most fun Ive had in a hot minute. Good service, good atmosphere, good (naughty) fun. Highly recommend the wheel of missfourtune, and highly recommend the establishment as a whole.

  • Review 57 (2019-02-25 - Rating: 5)

    They wanted to charge $40 for my buddy to ride in the swing and possibly get a dance for his B-Day so I declined that. But other than that pretty sweet place.

  • Review 58 (2015-11-16 - Rating: 4)

    $5 PBR with a whiskey shot plus a bar swing... that should give you an idea of what you are walking into. Its a great place to start the night or end it. Super cheap drinks and a wild bar scene. Best time to go are weekends, usually tame during the week.

  • Review 59 (2017-06-02 - Rating: 4)

    Cozy little bar in Lower Manhattan. Food isnt that great but the beer is decent. They have a good selection on tap.

  • Review 60 (2018-03-10 - Rating: 4)

    I went when it was quiet but the style of the place shone through. If youre looking for cheap beer and shots and a party atmosphere, then this is a place to go. if you didnt notice from the website, it has a swing above the bar, a pool table and juke box

  • Review 61 (2018-07-03 - Rating: 4)

    Great for birthday stop get spanked on the bar. Very amusing for the patrons, not my thing though. Drinks were a decent price and they have a photo booth

  • Review 62 (2012-12-02 - Rating: 4)

    The bartenders breathe fire. This place is great.

  • Review 63 (2015-09-11 - Rating: 4)

    Cheap drinks and awesome bartenders!

  • Review 64 (2018-09-19 - Rating: 4)

    The Iron Horse is a seemingly well-worn, inexpensive bar that has a malleable atmosphere controlled by the fun, energetic and acrobatic bartenders. At mid-day The Iron Horse is usually mellow and relaxing allowing you to take a seat at the bar, enjoy your drink, strike up a conversation and/or shoot some pool [The pool table itself is surprisingly well kempt considering that its in a bar but the cue sticks are in rough shape and act as a perfect excuse for how bad I am].By late afternoon the vibe Swings into an upbeat bar complete with loud music, bar top dancing, a wheel of misfortune and an actual swing, all complimented with jovial customers.The only issue I have with this place is that the mens (single) bathroom doorknob doesnt have a latch which grants anyone access. Be sure to knock loudly and open the door slowly to give the person time to react. Once youre inside just pee with your back towards the door to create a level of privacy akin to a public urinal and to avoid a potentially awkward situation.

  • Review 65 (2017-10-29 - Rating: 4)

    Pretty much a dive bar but a place where you can have a lot of fun - different from the other places in that vicinity. Great to go with a group of people.

  • Review 66 (2012-10-19 - Rating: 4)

    A biker bar in NYC? To hell you say but it is true. This place rocks. Nice selection of beer, Jameson, hot bar tenders that set the bar on fire and a swing. The manager, George is cool too. Go and enjoy yourself until last call at 4amishYoure Welcome

  • Review 67 (2015-06-24 - Rating: 4)

    Overall a great place. But it gets annoying when boring people get up on the bar looking for drunken attention

  • Review 68 (2019-01-21 - Rating: 5)

    My kinda place. Down to earth bartenders. Reminds me of that movie Coyote ugly lol. Definitely a place for a wild night

  • Review 69 (2016-05-13 - Rating: 4)

    Im sure this place is polarizing. The booze is cheapish, the food is terrible. But the bartendresses seem to schedule dancing on the bar and theres a swing for special dances which are surprisingly acrobatic. Its an experience to try with people whod want to ogle at ladies and pregame. Can of beer + shot was $7 when I went, but if you order a (larger) shot on its own it was $8 on a Saturday night.

  • Review 70 (2018-10-26 - Rating: 4)

    Good music, good happy hour, fun atmosphere.... added bonus= swing above bar

    This bar has a swing. Dive bar. Wild times. Had some jenga as well. Small pool table in the back. Cheap drinks. Wheel of misfortune is always entertaining.One surprising thing is that pay per view UFC fights are free of cover. Which was an awesome random discovery.

    I was in the area as my sister who was visiting from LA was staying in the area. At first I wasn’t sure, it looked iffy, but after the waitress served us up some I’ve the house special drinks, we were having a blast! Fun dive bar, omg the bouncer looks like a dick but he’s a big loving bear. The cherry on the top was the swing, those waitresses were pulling Cirque du Soleil at a dive bar! So much fun!

  • Review 86 (2017-02-24 - Rating: 4)

    Comfortable. Walked in and looked around, and saw no afternoon alpha-dogs running the show, so hand me the menu. Well prepared bar food, good and stiff bar pours for their drinks, and fresh beers on tap. First time since the early 90s that Ive had a decent steakette, or steak fingers, breaded beef app, and Ive tried many since then with great disappointment. Five words: wife hooked on steakettes, now. Ive been talkin those bad boys up to her since we first met in 1999. That alone will bring us back, but the nice gal who was taking care of everything (orders/hostess/bartender/server/bouncer) on the bar floor did a great job with a very busy place, and was easily the hottest little cougar every middle-aged dude in that joint definitely noticed. Raven hair, and pale blue eyes.

    This place and Jermeys (not too far from here) are the two in the area worth going to for that dive bar atmosphere without leaving the place feeling all grimy. Also the swing above offers a good drunken sideshow.
