    Hopped in with a friend and we asked the bartender to make some awesome drinks with rum. To surprise us and he definitely did! The drinks were perfect and the place has a great vibe. Ask for a Rum old fashion with a little of habanero bitters, you wont regret it!

    I just stopped in for a drink and a beer, so I cant rate the food. This place has a cool down to earth vibe. I love the mural outside and the artwork inside. The prices on drinks and beers are very good. The service is quick and straightforward.

    Good spot to grab a drink in the area with solid happy hour pricing.

    Cool place for beer and bourbon. They have some unique bourbons at good prices. Check out the George Dickel 8 year for $11!!! Closer to a dive bar than a Gramercy Tavern.Go for Happy hour!Update June 2023: I still love this place and find great values in the bourbons at the bar, especially during happy hour. Had a really tasty glass of makers Mark neat for around $9 or $10 during happy hour. There was also a good pilsner that the bartender recommended. He told me that they no longer carry the Dickel 8 year, which was a little disappointing. But they have so many other good options its not a big deal.

    One of my favorite bars in the neighborhood. Fair prices, lots of space, and friendly staff. Great spot if youre looking for a chill night with friends. The jukebox is also A+.

  • Review 6 (2022-11-02 - Rating: 5)

    Perfect local neighborhood bar. Low key with a stacked jukebox!

  • Review 7 (2023-04-12 - Rating: 4)

    Friendly staff and bouncer. Cool atmosphere. We didnt know why we hadnt come back here sooner.

  • Review 8 (2022-11-09 - Rating: 5)

    Really enjoyed the KCBC beer they had

  • Review 9 (2021-06-12 - Rating: 5)

    This corner bar is an interesting spot to get drunk after work or just end up at during your bar crawl through EV. Cheap drinks and amazing staff!

  • Review 10 (2021-10-16 - Rating: 5)

    Came here for a drink before a movie. Loved it so much that we came back afterwards for another. Just a great, straightforward spot with very friendly bartenders.

  • Review 11 (2019-10-23 - Rating: 5)

    This is the third time I’ve been here over the course of a number of years. Service and prices are great. If I lived close this would be my neighborhood bar.

  • Review 12 (2022-05-29 - Rating: 5)

    Great place to stop for a quick drink.

  • Review 13 (2018-11-09 - Rating: 4)

    Good spot to sit down and have a beer. It is cash only.

  • Review 14 (2019-05-27 - Rating: 5)

    Great dive bar feel, with very friendly staff and service! A gem in the diminishing East village / Alphabet city old school scene.

  • Review 15 (2023-11-02 - Rating: 5)

    One of the best low key bars in the area. Great rotating selection of craft beer and well made cocktails. Very no frills, which I happen to enjoy. Have never had an issue here and always happy to come back. Staff is highly knowledgeable and capable of making insightful suggestions. Highly recommend checking out if you are looking for a new haunt or just passing by for a quick one.

    Honest to G*d... Best bar in town. 👍

  • Review 17 (2019-11-01 - Rating: 5)

    So much fun!!! Look at all the fun I’m having here with my beers and drinks!!! I love New York! East village. Go Yankees.

  • Review 18 (2023-04-09 - Rating: 5)

    Dive energy but a little more put together. Solid place to grab a couple of beers

  • Review 19 (2024-05-14 - Rating: 5)

    The best bar in the East Village!Excellent beer selections and super friendly staff!

  • Review 20 (2023-12-13 - Rating: 4)

    Seemed like a pretty solid place. It was really busy when we visited. There werent any open seats so we chugged down a vodka drink and bounced. I would return sometime. Its in a convenient location for walking between Greenwich and the East Village.

  • Review 21 (2022-06-17 - Rating: 5)

    Wildly friendly staff and the exact vibe of a laidback bar I was looking for.

  • Review 22 (2023-12-07 - Rating: 5)

    For NYC, a very low-key and chill bar. Great Manhattans, but they had better be, right? $45 for a round of 3 cocktails and a beer, cant ask for better value.

  • Review 23 (2024-05-15 - Rating: 5)

    Good beers, good music, chill vibes

  • Review 24 (2024-02-17 - Rating: 4)

    Just a good spit to have a few pints.

  • Review 25 (2012-05-30 - Rating: 4)

    If you’re a 49ers fan, this is your bar during football season. Otherwise, it’s a pretty non-descript laid-back Irish pub.

  • Review 26 (2022-04-23 - Rating: 5)

    Good selection of craft beers on tap from around the city, reasonably priced.

  • Review 27 (2023-05-31 - Rating: 5)

    Wandered in here because it looked nice a cool sorta divey place which I like. Asked whats good thats local? since I was visiting from the west coast. Bartender had some good recommendations. Good music on the jukebox, chill vibes. Would 100% come back whenever Im in NYC again.

    Clean place with cheap drinks, especially for the area! What else can you ask for. No food but tons of places in the area.

  • Review 32 (2023-08-10 - Rating: 5)

    Lowkey spot in a busy area with a good happy hour. Had a good bartender who didnt mind me being chatty, and found that the place attracts good patrons. Good place to kill a few hours.

  • Review 33 (2017-05-23 - Rating: 5)

    Chill place with good happy hour deals. Old school bar inside with little frills.

  • Review 35 (2013-11-01 - Rating: 4)

    No complaints with 12 taps to choose from! 6 pm and its already lively.

  • Review 36 (2018-07-20 - Rating: 4)

    Bartenders know how to pour a drink. Its cash only but completely worth it.

  • Review 37 (2023-07-18 - Rating: 5)

    $5 happy hour pints in NYC with a super chill friendly bartender, relaxed atmosphere, and great playlist. What’s not to love?

  • Review 38 (2017-07-01 - Rating: 4)

    Its a chill bar where you can even find a place to sit or stand on most weekend nights.

  • Review 47 (2021-12-29 - Rating: 5)

    I stumbled upon this place Christmas eve because it seemed every bar in the east village was closed. It was a blessing in disguise. Very reasonably priced beer, friendly staff and an awesome jukebox that has actual CDs that get changed out periodically. I will definitely be back!

    Nice service. Great late night bar

    A friend and I decided to stop here on our way to another bar. I got a drink, she got a cidar. Not much to report. Simple, clean, easily accessible. Very much a corner bar. Decent prices and my drink was delicious. Cant really beat that.
