    This bar has got a great vibe. Its chill and has an incredible happy hour. The bartender, Morgan, is a total sweetheart and made us feel welcome as we tirelessly stumbled in with our luggage after a long walk from Penn Station. She served us up some cold beers to perk us right up!

  • Review 2 (2024-12-18 - Rating: 5)

    The drinks are fresh and reasonably priced. It has a classic downtown neighborhood bar vibe yet still looks new.

    I only gave 4 stars because this vibe might not be for everybody. It wouldn’t be my choice for kiddos or grandparents. Girls night, fellas, couples most definitely ok.If you like to be on the scene and in the mix this is the spot! Located on prime real estate on Avenue A this is the place to see and be seen.You can take your drinks inside, outside or if you’re really feelin secretive head to their speakeasy in the basement. We came for after dinner drinks...but had to order from the menu. Post COVID money maker. No complaints on their fries.WARNING: the bathrooms are beyond small and and not kept up.

    My good friend Nathan Shi was the DJ for the night here and I came out with my friends and had a great experience! Music was a whole vibe and I enjoyed my time here!

    Kenny Megan and jackson are the best. So caring and attentive. So much fun.

  • Review 6 (2023-06-23 - Rating: 5)

    Not filled with TVs! Bartender was very friendly. Im new to Going Out and she made me feel comfortable. Very chill, kind of empty. One person on their laptop lol. We were there early (about 8:30) though so probably that vibe is not typical.

  • Review 7 (2022-01-30 - Rating: 4)

    Nice divey place with decent eats. This intersection is dominated by Lilys and Yuca Bar. You might as well come here to have a decent conversation. Extra points for the checkered floor.

  • Review 8 (2022-07-24 - Rating: 5)

    Came here for girls night and wouldRecommend! Packed place (decently young crowd on a Saturday) that’s great for dancing, music was great. If you’re looking for a chill vibe this is not it. Ended up needing the manager and security and they were both amazing and resolved the issue immediately. Drinks were medium and service was pretty quick considering the crowd. Will definitely be back

  • Review 9 (2023-09-27 - Rating: 5)

    Great atmosphere and music, loads of whisky and bourbon.The kind of place where the boys in the band hang out. Not full of loud sorority girls, at least not on a Tuesday night.Loved it.

    Beautiful

  • Review 11 (2022-02-09 - Rating: 5)

    Jackson was my bartender. Went during the Happy Hour for 4 dollar drinks. Awesome. The punk music was good. I don’t like weekends. I usually stay home and play my guitar and practice. Fries were super good. Hope to see you again Jackson. Hope you songwrite

    I like it this place! Awesome bartender girl! And this bar first meet my girl! Last month her name Carson! Security guard he is good guy and polite!

  • Review 13 (2024-11-07 - Rating: 5)

    Is too crowded at the day, but night is better

  • Review 14 (2021-04-09 - Rating: 5)

    Great neighborhood spot. Mix of all types of people.Real bar with real vibes. They also have awesome music playing. Terrific staff.The downstairs garden is a little weird vibe to it but I guess it could be nice for a business meeting where nobody else can see or here you.IG@jarnold45

  • Review 15 (2023-01-28 - Rating: 5)

    Went to this bar with my friends and had a negative experience with some people on the dance floor, but the general manager, Zoey took care of it right away and was so kind about everything. 10/10 customer service and the staff is amazing.

  • Review 16 (2023-08-09 - Rating: 5)

    Such a cool place with a lovely service ! So generally highly recommended

  • Review 17 (2015-01-15 - Rating: 4)

    I love this dump. It is a bare bones filthy dive but it is cool and comfortable. I have mainly come here for late afternoon weekend day drinking, and it is never too crowded at that time. Everything is cheap. I have been once or twice later at night and a crowd can develop.

  • Review 18 (2023-01-10 - Rating: 5)

    Nice restaurant.Tasty buffalo wings.i enjoyed my visit from India

  • Review 19 (2021-07-17 - Rating: 5)

    It is by far one of the best experiences my wife and I have had in this post Covid new world. Anybody that wants to show their love ones a good time this is the place to go just make sure you go during the weekdays Friday through Sunday can be very hectic

  • Review 20 (2022-08-23 - Rating: 5)

    Wonderful selection of liquors, especially considering they have no martini glasses. Jules was our bartender and made excellent conversation. She is a luminous personality. She was open to adapting drinks to our taste and that made us feel very welcome. We were able to enjoy a bees knees, sidecar, amaretto sour, and gin martini… which is disturbingly hard to enjoy at a single establishment in this neighborhood

  • Review 21 (2023-01-28 - Rating: 5)

    Once you find out this is the venue that the try guy got caught at (allegedly) then you realize how iconic it actually is. Bring your friends from NYU and NJ/LI, they’ll love it!

  • Review 22 (2011-09-01 - Rating: 4)

    Niagara is my go-to place for fun, laid back dancing on a Friday or Saturday night. I used to live a few blocks down the street, and my friends and I would end up here just about every other weekend, be it for a quick drink before heading elsewhere, or to kick off our shoes and dance in the back room. The staff is pretty decent, everyone dances to Shout!, and theres a photo booth. Youre guaranteed to have some fun here!

  • Review 23 (2021-02-08 - Rating: 5)

    The drink selection maybe average but I love the black and white tiled floor, the vintage music videos on the TV’s and the corner location where you can just watch the people walk by.

  • Review 24 (2024-09-10 - Rating: 5)

    Friendly staff who lets folks back in after closing to pee..so appreciated, bro. Jour commute!

  • Review 25 (2018-05-10 - Rating: 5)

    Must see .. them good eats. ... there. Amazing band. The booking agent is everything you expect in the village. Great guy with taste for sound and crowd

  • Review 26 (2022-07-12 - Rating: 5)

    So I ordered this burger and after the first bite I this was something special, I can honestly say I was blown away. Idk if it was an accident but the burger tasted like popcorn. I made a friend take a bite so I wasn’t the only one tasting this. I pulled waiter aside and told him to tell the chef that even if this was a mistake they need to repeat it. Maybe it’s corn oil?! Idk I’m not a chef, but it tasted exactly like actual popcorn. I’m going back for this burger and I’ll be upset if it doesn’t like popcorn 🍿

  • Review 27 (2018-11-29 - Rating: 5)

    LES, The way its suppose to be done. Not fancy, not about pomp; fun and attitude are what count. Great happy hour specials with Chase the bartender; you cant go wrong. Hell yeah, they stay open late! Bring it and get to it. LES stronghold, Tompkins Square at the corner!

  • Review 28 (2021-01-30 - Rating: 5)

    Fairly average drink selection, pretty good food, occasionally sticky. My favourite bar in the world. Theres just something about it.

  • Review 29 (2022-02-22 - Rating: 5)

    Niagara was great. The vibe was fantastic and the music played was my type meaning early 2000s and late 1990s music

  • Review 30 (2017-01-10 - Rating: 4)

    Great dancefloor and a great vibe on the weekends. Go early, before 11, on weekends to get a chance to have a little bit of breathing room because this place gets insanely packed late night

  • Review 31 (2021-07-10 - Rating: 5)

    Two places great all around, the downstairs has amazing drinks look for it.

  • Review 32 (2020-01-17 - Rating: 5)

    Good place to catch bands. Also, they have free stand up each Saturday night.

    True East Village staple. Cheap dranks, tiny stage for to rock on and a lil do booth to rave from. No pretension.

  • Review 35 (2017-08-05 - Rating: 5)

    My go to bar on the lower east side. If youre into the 80s punk/alternative music scene, you will love it!

    My old fashioned could have been better. No orange peel or cherry at the time. It was alright.

  • Review 39 (2019-01-13 - Rating: 4)

    Went for the Over the Barrel comedy show on Saturdays. It was a tough crowd but I can tell it has a lot of potential.

  • Review 40 (2020-07-04 - Rating: 5)

    Im glad this place is open again. Theyve been great! Weve been going back every weekend

  • Review 41 (2021-04-05 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 42 (2024-03-14 - Rating: 5)

    Kinda super difficult to get em to answer the phones here but otherwise a pretty cool bar my sister works here

  • Review 43 (2018-11-27 - Rating: 4)

    Always a good spot in the EV to pop into for a quick drink, or to people watch for a bit.

  • Review 44 (2018-12-12 - Rating: 5)

    Lots of good shows and live events. The staff is amazing.

  • Review 45 (2022-12-22 - Rating: 5)

    Stopped in on a Tuesday night. Cool bar with a Joe Strummer mural out front! Bartender was fantastic and very friendly and the music was cool—several Pixies tunes played while I was there.

  • Review 46 (2019-09-02 - Rating: 4)

    Fun bar for a late night dance to classic old school hits.

  • Review 47 (2022-08-25 - Rating: 5)

    There is a small cover charge but very fun place to be at and totally worth it. The staff was really cool and responsive to the people, space, and interactions so it never felt like a bad time in there. The DJ mostly played electronic music but they had a good mixture of music with it to get you moving, throwbacks, chilling songs, and just party music, also a lit but of pop and reggae but that was rare. Overall great vibes, really nice people, and a lot of fun.

    Great bar staff and frozen margaritas! ❤

  • Review 56 (2022-07-06 - Rating: 4)

    Classic East Village bar and staple. Dive bar with solid drinks and they also are a classic punk rock establishment with bands on occasion and dancing on weekends. Worth a visit to this institution!

  • Review 57 (2018-11-12 - Rating: 4)

    The restrooms are a bit too small for the amount of people that come here.I did love the classic films they showed on the televisions. Music was playing live at the back of the bar but crowd wasnt really moving much. Prices arent bad at all.Great dive bar for college crowd but not much else.

  • Review 58 (2019-11-08 - Rating: 5)

    Great place. Awesome service, fun and friendly.

  • Review 59 (2021-03-24 - Rating: 4)

    Decent bar, kind of a dive vibe. I would prefer for the price of their cocktails itd be a bit more artesenal or crafty, considering its also going to come in a plastic cup, the price should be a tad less. The staff were really pleasant, its what youd expect from a bar in East village.

  • Review 60 (2024-04-25 - Rating: 4)

    Fun Old School East Village divey type bar.

  • Review 61 (2018-03-05 - Rating: 5)

    Best place ever! If you have a family, make sure to go. The whole place is one big maze of arcades, but dont think its not for adults. There is a casino there, beautiful resturants and it can even be really romantic for a couple. Would definitely love to go back. I give the whole area a 6 star.

    Good sound and people and drinks

  • Review 65 (2020-01-13 - Rating: 4)

    Dont have much to say about the bar itself, but get bouncers who actually know how to identify a real NJ ID/dont like to mess with young girls for their entertainment. I was held up outside of this bar for over 10 minutes because the bouncer believed my real ID was fake, meanwhile let in all my friends who also had new jersey IDs. Either the bouncer didnt know what a real ID looks like or he had a good time getting a reaction out of me. Either way not a good look for your bar.
