    Barfly is a solid spot if youre looking for a casual bar in a good location. It has plenty of seating, which is great, and there’s no shortage of screens to catch a game. The addition of a pool table adds a fun touch if youre with friends. The vibe could be a bit more lively, but it’s still a comfortable and laid-back place to hang out. Service is quick and attentive, making things easy. Plus, they stay open late, which is a big plus in the area. Overall, a nice place for a low-key night out!

    This place was ok as far as I saw. Service was good, knew how to pour a Guinness right and well. There are plenty of TVs to watch w/e game you want, and there is a Pool table you can sign up for to play. Didnt eat here so cant comment on that. Enjoy

    Good dive bar and pool table with nice felt. We went here for noon games on Saturday - there was only one bartender and she managed to take great care of a big crowd. We will be back.

    Cool spot. Pool table. Great drinks. Reasonable pricing. Friendly Vibe. Ask for SAM! Shes probably one of the best bartenders in NYC! Superb Customer Service! Warm Vibe. I will visit again and again!

  • Review 6 (2022-08-21 - Rating: 5)

    Our sever was absolutely amazing! We didn’t catch his name but he was so kind and attentive to our group during our lunch. We found this place when another restaurant didn’t open at their posted time and we were too hungry to wait around & let me say we are so glad we found Barfly! Their food was absolutely amazing and we will be craving it back home in the midwest :)

    Great ambience and staff. I liked their Grilled Chicken Sandwich.

  • Review 8 (2023-08-10 - Rating: 5)

    Can’t complain. Nice service - good pours. Didn’t have any food but worth coming by for a drink

  • Review 9 (2019-12-14 - Rating: 5)

    Loving the $2 pool table vibes. Living for the $20 pitchers. 👌

  • Review 10 (2023-11-11 - Rating: 5)

    This is a low key cool sports bat with a pool table in the back. Everything here was satisfactory, except for the service... THAT WAS FANTASTIC. The service was attentive, friendly and behind efficient. If youre in the neighborhood grab a quick drink or 2.

  • Review 11 (2023-06-06 - Rating: 4)

    Nice vibe. Really cool bartenders and staff. Good place to meet and play pool. Or just watch the game. Havent really tried the food but it looks and smells good.

  • Review 12 (2024-10-19 - Rating: 5)

    Superbly made cocktails, trendy vibe, upscale local bar that I would absolutely recommend to anyone.

  • Review 13 (2017-02-06 - Rating: 4)

    Nice bar with pretty good food. We generally go here around happy hour time and stay a few hours. The happy hour specials are nothing special but Ill take whatever I can get. The food is pretty good to really good my last time there I had the fish tacos which were great. It does get crowded but Ive never be there when the crowd affects the service. they have a decent beer selection and a few cider choices as well.

    Great spot to hang and shoot some pool..

  • Review 15 (2018-01-12 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing bar to go to if you love delicious food as well as a pool table. I recommend the buffalo chicken sandwich. I get it every time I go. The pool table is in really good condition compared to other bars around the area. The place overall has a really cozy laid-back vibe to it.

  • Review 16 (2018-06-21 - Rating: 4)

    Great NYC bar. Awesome Happy Hour and lots to choose from for dining. Have enjoyed their burger, wings and chicken tenders. All reasonable and tasty. A new but favored spot.

  • Review 17 (2021-07-21 - Rating: 4)

    Just had frozen drinks (small size) in the outside seating area but they were very good and service was lovely. Prices a little high for small drinks. But price for food seemed reasonable.

  • Review 18 (2018-12-27 - Rating: 4)

    Came here to celebrate a friends birthday during the week. I walked in back with men in suits thought that was weird but then forgot it was a football night. So hey single ladies you may want to check this place out 😉. I enjoyed their fries. Drinks were average nyc prices

  • Review 19 (2015-11-23 - Rating: 4)

    Barflys nice, comfortable vibe, good drinks, and reasonably priced food makes it our teams go-to spot for post-volleyball food and brews.They have a long bar with ample counter space, as well as booths for those whod prefer to sit, but the area we frequent the most is the perched up area at the front. Raised up a bit from the rest of the floor, and partially fenced in, the front section has plenty of stools and additional standing space.Regular priced pitchers run either $15, $18, or $22, depending on what beer theyre pouring. We stuck with Brooklyn Pumpkin Ales, getting four nice pours from each $18 pitcher. Weve ordered wings, chicken skewers, curly fries, and an assortment of sandwiches during our visits, and, while the food may not be spectacular, everythings made well, and priced fairly.The bartenders here are awesome and very attentive to patrons regardless of where theyre sitting along the bar. Topping off the experience, were always treated to a playlist of 90s alternative/grunge/pop jams...appreciated by all of us!Overall, Barfly is a nice dive-y place to catch sports and not worry about being sweaty after some intense volleyball games...Just dont sit too close to us :)

  • Review 20 (2015-01-02 - Rating: 4)

    I came here for happy hour with a couple of college friends. This is a no frills bar with plenty of TVs airing sports. They even had UFC on FOX. We shared nachos and the beef empandas. I had a couples of Guinness.Guinness was doing a promotion here when I was there. I was able to get a free engraved Guinness glass but I gave to one of my friend. So, actually she got 2 glasses.This is a good place for a simple happy hour just dont expect anything extravagant here. Our waitress was very attentive and checked up on us often.The place is very noisy and loud so it might be difficult to have a good conversation there.

    Good bar. Lots of fun. The decor is great. It would be better if they didnt have a massive TV hanging so low from the ceiling. I saw a few people hit their head on it throughout the night.

    This place was much better when Mike Z was working the bar but its still a pretty decent spot for twenty somethings to come and hang out. They love their pool here and the drinks are reasonably prices. Food is meh but it will keep you from getting too drunk. Good tunes on the jukebox too.

    This is the place to be for football, or during March Madness. Anytime you want to watch multiple games at the same time, you dont have a much better option than Barfly. The Food is excellent, the Drinks are a bit pricey. But, for the area, you cant beat this joint.
