    Fantastic. For people who like bars, this is a great bar.

  • Review 2 (2023-03-20 - Rating: 5)

    Love this bar it is the best place to go to after a dinner. Bartender is very nice and social, makes me want to stay longer for the hospitality. His name is Alex. Drinks are classic house and have a pool table, so it’s a good spot to go to for fair drink prices and pool.

    I visit this place pretty often after work or out with friends. Overall pretty relaxed environment, bartenders are attentive & generally in a good mood.Asked the bartender on Monday to make me a Moscow Mule (Not on their menu) and they made me one of the best Moscow Mules I’ve had in a long time. Will come back again :)

    This is a great neighborhood bar. The bartenders are very friendly and attentive. It can be a little crowded, depending on whether Columbia is hosting an event here or not. The drinks are reasonably priced and theres plenty of room for patrons to spread out. Ive never had a bad experience here.

  • Review 5 (2023-02-17 - Rating: 5)

    Fun and chill dive bar. Bartender Katie was fantastic and kept us entertained!

  • Review 6 (2013-03-20 - Rating: 4)

    This is a quintessential campus bar. Kids from Columbia pack in here on the weekends, and unfortunately it has gotten honestly TOO busy for its own good in the past couple months. The atmosphere rocks, very hipster grad-student. The decor is cool, they are always playing some cool movie on a big projector screen that covers the back wall. Getting a drink at the bar can be a nightmare during popular hours, so either come early or during the week. But if you are nice to one of the bartenders here they will do their best to take care of you. Its a good place.

  • Review 7 (2013-08-13 - Rating: 4)

    Feels like a college bar in a small town, but in reality, its a college bar in a neighborhood few others would make the trek to. Happy hour specials make cheap beer even cheaper. Most drafts are domestic, but the bottles branch into Europe, at least. Top shelf liquor is more or less available, but judging by the dust on the bottles, people dont feel the need to impress in that fashion. Stick to the Sierra Nevadas.

  • Review 8 (2019-07-31 - Rating: 5)

    This bar does what it does, and doesnt try to be anything else. Its a straightforward dive bar with a pool table, darts, and cranky-friendly bartenders serving a decent selection of cheaper-than-anywhere-nearby beer. If thats what youre after, you cant do better than 1020. Although beware undergrad hordes...

  • Review 9 (2019-02-27 - Rating: 4)

    A good ole big divey place tall ceilings decent beer selection music ok not too loud, ok movies playing quietly on a couple screens, closed captioned. Bartenders ok not too young. Go at off times (like most bars) for best experience.

  • Review 10 (2020-02-09 - Rating: 4)

    Cheapest place to get a drink in the ColumbiaU area. Tuesday nights are trivia nights for those with heads brimming with random factoids on what have you thingamajings!! Just know that Columbia undergrads are super competitive and kinda good at fact rentention! :)

  • Review 11 (2015-02-14 - Rating: 4)

    This is a very cool bar with cheap drinks. The place also has a nice pool table in the back and old school booths. On the weekends this place is full of students from the nearby Barnard school.

  • Review 12 (2016-07-13 - Rating: 4)

    Cheap. Loud. Undergraduate. And theyve almost always got decent music and interesting movies playing with only subtitles on. Did I mention it was cheap? Incidentally, a plaque on the wall of the apartments that also share the same building announces that Gershwin composed Rhapsody in Blue in the same building.

  • Review 13 (2018-11-13 - Rating: 5)

    My personal living room. 1020 is the perfect dive bar! The most amazing staff and crowd, and my go-to place any night of the week.

  • Review 14 (2018-11-22 - Rating: 4)

    Classic College Bar1020 s not big end, but it doesnt repair the seats with duct tape either. Draught beers are generally 5 or 6 $. Depending on the time, the age varies greatly. At times, there is a grad school crowd and others rhe mix is much younger. Of course, there are random locals or tourists, but they definitely are the minority in most evenings, especially when Columbia is in session.

  • Review 15 (2017-03-21 - Rating: 5)

    1020 is the local watering hole for Columbia graduate students. Cheap drinks, (mostly) friendly service, convenient location, random movies playing on the projector and good music in the background.

  • Review 16 (2019-04-15 - Rating: 4)

    Its a college dive bar. Average beer selection. No frills, but not expensive either.

  • Review 17 (2021-02-11 - Rating: 5)

    No frills college dive bar known for its strong drinks.

    Good selection of Brooklyn Brewery beers on tap. Cheap prices.

  • Review 30 (2022-07-30 - Rating: 5)

    Super low key bar. Has a pool table which is dope. Bartender cute too. If you see a tall gorgeous dark skins female ask for the bartender special. Its a sweat and light drink mixed with some juice and malibu. (Mind you not an official drink)

  • Review 31 (2016-04-27 - Rating: 5)

    Awesome place to hangout, especially if you are columbia student

  • Review 32 (2019-05-21 - Rating: 4)

    Good price, nice local bar atmosphere.

  • Review 33 (2022-07-15 - Rating: 5)

    Favorite bar in the city. Half-off Moscow mules are the best. Alex, the bartender, was great, even when it got swamped. My group got super drunk and chatty and he was awesome.

  • Review 34 (2017-03-11 - Rating: 5)

    The only bar on campus worth 5 stars

  • Review 35 (2019-12-07 - Rating: 4)

    Spent two lovely late afternoons here in a December two years ago. I am so relieved it’s still up and running, open for business for my return on 7/9. Looking forward to spending several evenings there!!

  • Review 40 (2021-08-26 - Rating: 5)

    The 1020 bar gets five out of five stars because of its ability to be what it claims to be. Chai drinks, cool ambience, and outstanding service. I plan on going back during trivia night

  • Review 41 (2018-06-12 - Rating: 5)

    Its a great dive bar. I dont know how else to sell it beyond the fact its a dive bar. It has good beer and liquor, a pool table and darts. Its a great dive bar.

  • Review 45 (2022-02-08 - Rating: 5)

    Cheap drinks, a pool table & a block away from my place. Perfect!

  • Review 46 (2022-02-24 - Rating: 5)

    Gotta love the dive bar and outdoor seating, free chips and salsa was a plus.

  • Review 47 (2012-08-09 - Rating: 4)

    The points system from google+ doesnt make sense for this excellent dive bar in the Upper West. There is no sign out front and it always looks slightly closed... exactly what you want out of a dive bar. There is a pool table, a dart board and usually a slightly off bartender that weirds you out in a super friendly way. Winner.

  • Review 48 (2017-08-20 - Rating: 5)

    Cozy local bar. Lowest drink prices in Manhattan, IMHO. Quiet in the daytime. Open 4pm to 4am. Dress code after 10pm.

  • Review 49 (2017-06-29 - Rating: 5)

    1020 is a landmark. Great place for a cheap beer and a great atmosphere on weeknights and outside of the school year. One of Columbia students most popular bars on Thursday, Friday and Saturday during the school year.

  • Review 50 (2016-05-11 - Rating: 5)

    Its cool place to meet with new people..

  • Review 51 (2015-06-25 - Rating: 4)

    Exactly what you should expect from a dive bar. The service is great, beer selection will leave everyone satisfied but not blown away. It gets very packed during the weekend with the undergrad crowd from Columbia. Best visited during the week and preferably early.

  • Review 52 (2019-03-09 - Rating: 4)

    I have been a regular at this place but I was shocked when my bill was higher than what it should have been. When I approached the bartender about this, I was told that I was the one who ordered vodka cranberries but I was drunk and hence don’t remember. I do not know how some one could get drunk on 2 beers. After that the bartender also told me that I’ve always fought with her in the past when it came to my debit card, which is not possible because that was literally the first conversation I was having with her. Any way, things ended on a slightly positive note and I will be going back.

  • Review 53 (2017-10-29 - Rating: 4)

    Best dive bar in the Columbia neighborhood. Darts board is available for use at off peak times (nobody wants drunk college kids throwing darts at each other)

  • Review 54 (2013-01-09 - Rating: 4)

    Cheap beer. Cool, good crowd and it has darts and pool. DONT GO HERE ON THE WEEKEND, it will be difficult to get into. My friend says there are cockroaches but I havent seen any =P

    Nice bar. Good beer and music. Cheap beer in a nice place.

  • Review 56 (2016-06-07 - Rating: 4)

    Classic Morningside Heights bar. Come here because everyone you know is here. It can be crowded, but when it isnt, the vibe is just right to get drinks and hang with friends. If you can get a table, youre set for a solid night. If you cant, youll still have a good time getting trampled by the crowd with your buddies. Drinks are par for the course -- its the company that makes this place so great.
