    If you like a nice dark cozy bar, Wakamba is your place. The cost of my Ciroc Apple was $16.

    Awesome dive bar. Definitely a place to hang out any day of the week. Nice music Spanish style. Definitely will be back for some drinks.

  • Review 3 (2024-10-13 - Rating: 5)

    Love this place good 👍

  • Review 4 (2016-02-21 - Rating: 4)

    Do not come here for a craft IPA. You will find only stella, corona, heninken, ect. $5. The bartenders dont speak very good english. The crowd is sort of pickled and obnoxious. What else can you ask for? Right near Port Authority.

    Always have beautiful girls working there..if u know how to speak Spanish, ur good....drinks are the usual price for a bar in the city

    A true dive. Way nicer inside than the outside. This place makes a mean cosmo according to some sources. The bartender is requisitely rude.

  • Review 7 (2017-01-12 - Rating: 4)

    Cool spot to have a drink. Its open late night. Nobody bothers you so you can enjoy the company of your friends and a beer.

  • Review 8 (2022-04-08 - Rating: 5)

    The OG spot! If these walls could talk... THEY WOULDNT... they would keep their mouth shut cuz they know better. Check it out for the sheer flavor of Midtown NY.

    One of our favorite dive/tiki bars in all five boroughs. Start at 8am with the old men or come later for great jukebox tunes, trashy barteders and a lot of dancing!
