I cant praise this bar enough for the outstanding experience it offers. The atmosphere is trendy and chic, providing a stylish backdrop for a night of fun. The staffs expertise in mixology is evident in every drink they craft, and their friendly demeanor adds to the overall enjoyment. The drink menu is diverse and impressive, catering to various tastes and preferences. Whether youre a cocktail connoisseur or just looking for a great time, this bar is the perfect destination. I left with a sense of excitement and a strong desire to return for more memorable evenings. -

As another British Gentleman “across the pond”, this is very close to a pub from the motherland. Solid drinks and good vibes! Ignore that Super Bowl reviewer ‘Fran Kaufmann’, you shouldn’t have superbowl in a pub. Go and get yourself a pint! -

Not a “dive bar” as described by earlier reviews. It has more of a nice pub vibe.No food, but you can bring in outside food. No happy hour.Would be a chill spot for a dim lit drink with friends but has only two tv’s in this small space so it’s not quite a sports bar either. Definitely a favorited bar by locals and friends and the atmosphere is cozy and pubby. Decent place to grab a Guinness. -

Great local bar. Best Guinness in the area. Just had an amazing Bloody Mary from bartender John. This should be patented. Fresh ingredients, all of them! -

Pros - very very cheap drinks for Manhattan. We are talking about vodka sodas for $7 and wine for $3. Great location. Good for large groups. Cons - $10 credit card minimum. No ambiance (you won’t get it with such low prices). Overall a fun hole on the wall this of place -

This place should be landmarked! A Village institution. Awesome bar. Just a huge sprawling interior with booths and tables and window seats. Outdoor seating too. Two little TVs and one big personality!This place has the best vibe. Its fun, its loud, bartenders and barbacks are awesome. Its like family here. Great place to become a regular, like Cheers, everyone knows your name. Thanks for always being there Four Faced Liar -

Dive bar 101. This place is great. Located in the heat of The Village. Good people, good atmosphere and best of all good drinks! The bartenders are the best! Booths, tables and a couple of videogames in the back. Two bathrooms to boot! Drinks are reasonable and you always get a good pour. -

Long-time neighborhood dive bar in the West Village. I have gone here every now and then for 8 years or so. The place never really changed and thats the huge appeal to it. The guys behind the bar are nice neighborhood guys. Come here for a happy hour or two... or late nights. -

Low-key spot with good service, and reasonably priced drinks. Crowd was a mix of 30-somethings and college students. The younger crowd can get a little rowdy. Saw lots of glasses broken. -
Review 19 (2018-08-27 - Rating: 4)
Reasonably priced beers for the neighborhood and very efficient bartenders. We went after a show and the bartenders dont spend too much time chatting with people, so they are on top of getting your drink fast. -

This is great place for a quick pint. Does not take itself too seriously, and no, this is not a euphemism for anything. It just is a totally chilled out place with a great beer selection. Highly recommend for that after work chug. -

I discovered this place when coming to see my boyfriend. And it is the best place ever, the service, the atmosphere it is all you wanted in a bar. Ive had 4 Guinness while completing my raids on Diablo Immortal. Dont cause drama please everyone is chill.Oh! Did I mention it is BRING YOUR OWN FOOD? So yeah have drinks and bring your take out.The best! Certainly visit. Eric is the best bartender ✨️ (totally biased because of his Star Wars shirt lol).All of the bartenders are amazing and will treat you right.Give this place a shot you wont regret it ❤️ -

Review 60 (2021-09-13 - Rating: 4)
It’s a regular irish pub. Drinks are made fast and you dont have to fight for the bartender’s attention. Pretty relaxed and easy place if u wanna hangout with ur friends in a place that is nothing crazy. Music is a bit loud but other than that its ok, that’s expected in a bar -
Review 61 (2022-02-28 - Rating: 5)
Ive been a regular here for over a decade. Its like an extension of my apartment: the living room I never had, but with my friends often in residence. I met my girlfriend of 14 years through (though not at) The Liar. Conversations are usually great, people are welcoming, the service is excellent and the Guinness has been voted Best in the City. A pint and a game of Buck Hunter? Check. Discussions of the finer points of astrophysics or the pros and cons of dam building, or music, food, NYC, or anything else? Check. Halloween close to the parade but not obnoxious? Check. A round of connect 4 or other board games? Check mate. A terrible movie of the same name was filmed here, and thank you for not bringing it up. -

Fun dive bar in Greenwich village. It’s a humble spot where you can get a beer for a reasonable price and have a nice conversation with friends. The interior is rustic and there is a lot of seating and a couple TVs to catch games.Not the most eye catching spot, but definitely worth a visit! -

I went there in Drag. It was my first time out. As I walked up a customer sported a huge smile and said You look great. What a way to start. She really knocked down my nervous level. The I ended up making a few friends and even the tough guy bouncer would hold a conversation with me without making a face. I know it was hard for him but he did a great job. I fealt very comfortable. The drink were fine. -

I love this bar! My friends and I went over last night (one of many time weve been) after eating at Umami Burger. This is one of those simple bars with a couple TVs showing sports, dark corners, video games, and bartenders who make good, simple drinks. My friends got seasonal beers, and another got a bourbon. I like to keep things simple. I ordered a Dewars with ice, and a Budweiser. I am not afraid to admit I love Budweiser...and Oreo cookies, M&Ms, & Doritos. I dont understand all the craze over artisanal this, and hand crafted that. Microbrew IPA? Blech! Other bars, restaurants, and bearded entrepeneurs should take note - simple can still be good. -
