    Awesome service from Elice. So warm and welcoming and found time to guide us to a few more places to enjoy our day. Brilliant hazy IPA and well priced too. On my next visit to NYC will definitely drop by.

    Stopped for a late lunch based on a recommendation from a friend and this place did not disappoint! The gal at the bar was super nice and helped me choose the Pavarotti. It was unbelievable. I even had half the next day and I think it got better over time. I didn’t know I liked artichokes but I definitely do on that sandwich. I may be dreaming about it for awhile and I will definitely be back next time I’m in the area.

    Great corner bar in Tribeca. Small but cozy inside. Nice wrap around the corner outside seating. Nothing fancy but that’s the idea. On a nice day nothing better than having a few adult beverages at a place like this. Great time! 😁

  • Review 4 (2024-05-09 - Rating: 4)

    I came here one evening on a pub crawl. The bar is very crowded and we struggled to find a seat. We wound up in the corner with some beers. The place also has a large sandwich selection so we each got one. I had their ham & cheese. The bread was a bit dry but the sandwich as a whole was very good and helped a lot to fill me up while crawling.

    Fun place. Great selection of draft beers. They have a great Saturday happy hour. I liked the tunes. You cant go wrong with classic rock. I wish that they were not having a private party. I would of stayed longer.

  • Review 6 (2019-08-24 - Rating: 5)

    A great laid back watering hole. Friendly bartender. Decent tap beer selection along with some local choices. Reasonable prices. Nice ambiance with music playing. Dart board. Amazing mosiac tile floor. Theres a couple of TVs to watch the ballgame as well.

  • Review 7 (2024-09-22 - Rating: 5)

    An incredible neighborhood gem serving delicious sandwiches from one of soho’s best sandwich shops, alidoro. Snag a table outside in the summer or play darts in the back during a cozy fall weekend.

  • Review 8 (2024-09-22 - Rating: 5)

    Love this place. I hope it never changes

  • Review 9 (2022-07-23 - Rating: 5)

    Perfect fresh sandwiches with a lot of options, some nice beers and a great chill vibe as well. Hidden gem in New York.

  • Review 10 (2018-08-25 - Rating: 5)

    Great bartenders, and staff was my local bar for 6 years as I worked nearby. Good sandwiches for lunch also. Good vibe and two TVs, darts in the back if you are so inclined.

  • Review 11 (2024-07-18 - Rating: 5)

    Come after work for a beer or 4. plenty of seating in and out. Service is fast. Place is bright and airy.

  • Review 12 (2017-10-08 - Rating: 4)

    Fun spot in tribeca. Usually come here to play darts. Beer selection is only ok, but drinks are good. They have sandwiches in the day time which are pretty good and pizza at night, good comfort food for the group after a few pitchers.

  • Review 13 (2022-12-18 - Rating: 5)

    Great sports bar to watch games. They also have darts in the back. The bar is on the smaller side, but you can still bring in a good sized group for games.

  • Review 14 (2017-05-09 - Rating: 5)

    Beer and delicious cold cut sandwiches. What more can you ask a for? How about killer prices and solid happy hour deals. Puffys has that too. This place is awesome.

  • Review 15 (2018-08-12 - Rating: 4)

    Great local bar with a nice selection of beers on tap, sandwiches and pizzas, and darts in the back. Also quite affordable, good atmosphere and friendly staff.

  • Review 16 (2018-05-02 - Rating: 5)

    Dont let the shabby looks fool you, or the ultra hip bartenders scare you off: Puffys is a great lunch spot in Tribeca. Fresh baked bread from a local bakery, topped with a variety of Italian meat / cheese combos. Sandwiches are BIG. Favorite pick: prosciutto with fresh mozzarella and artichokes. Usually just one chef on hand, so can take awhile... Grab a seat and try to spot some celebs while you wait.

  • Review 17 (2024-06-19 - Rating: 5)

    Solid sandwiches and good attentive staff. Would have liked it if the bread for my sandwich was toasted or warmed, but all the ingredients and everything was fresh.

  • Review 18 (2016-10-24 - Rating: 5)

    Great watering hole. Good place for after dinner drinks. Lots of tasty beers on tap and wines by the glass. Fun crowd and decent prices.

  • Review 19 (2012-06-07 - Rating: 4)

    Classic New York City tavern serving surprisingly good Italian sandwiches during lunch – try the Gladiatore or the Sofia. Add a beer for $3 or $4 and enjoy lunch all the more!

  • Review 20 (2021-11-01 - Rating: 5)

    This place may well be what Malcolm Lowry, in his little-appreciated poem The Drunkards, called the unassimilable inn. All the stars in the winter sky: thats my ranking.

    OK, didnt want a federal production of eating in the city, but I was hungry. What a pleasant surprise. Limited menu, but really really good! I got the Marina. So good! I had the baguette, delicious! And Im a food snob. Place is small. You can get alcohol.

  • Review 25 (2016-08-12 - Rating: 4)

    More memories of fun times than a great bar, but it is still fun to hang out here. Except now Im probably the only one without a tattoo.

  • Review 26 (2015-12-03 - Rating: 4)

    Unassuming, vintage, and fun. They dont have a formal food menu, but will allow you to order food in. Good vibe,but can get crowded due to its limited space.

  • Review 41 (2023-09-13 - Rating: 5)

    We stumbled across this place when we were walking around Tribeca and Im so happy we did! Its such a great spot with a comfortable British pub vibe... old school and divey in the best possible way. The bartender was so sweet and attentive, the drink selection was perfect, and the other patrons were lovely. It felt like wed been going there for ages. We didnt try any of the food but from what we saw, it looked delicious. Check it out if youre in the neighborhood!

  • Review 42 (2017-08-22 - Rating: 5)

    Crystal is the best, Italian sandwiches at lunch are delicious, great joint in Tribeca

  • Review 43 (2023-07-11 - Rating: 4)

    A cool little neighborhood pub! The Guinness might get poured a little too fast, but the smiling bar staff is easy to forgive. The outdoor seating is nice if you can get it.

    Great sandwiches, plenty of beers, relaxed atmosphere, good prices. If you’re out for a walk or looking for a plate to share while enjoying a casual but lively atmosphere this is an ideal spot. We shared the gladiatore sandwich and a couple pints of beer. Friendly, fast, fun people watching just off the beaten path.

    Tasty, well-constructed sandwiches. I had the Brando, switching from sweet peppers to hot peppers and adding mayo ($1 EXTRA). They serve no other food. Crystal, the bartender, is a reason to go, too.

  • Review 73 (2019-07-02 - Rating: 4)

    Terrific dive bar. Outstanding sandwiches from lunch through about 4PM. Generally operated by a good, professional bartender. On off-nights, occasionally operated by a P/Ter with an unfortunate attitude. Return the attitude and tip accordingly.

  • Review 110 (2015-08-23 - Rating: 4)

    Puffys is a nice little dive with great staff, dim lighting, and a solid playlist ranging from RHCP to Rihanna, with some eclectic curveballs thrown in for good measure.Aside from the $3 PBRs, they had Boddingtons and the part pale ale, part wheat beer, part cream ale Sixpoint Sweet Action on tap...nice! (Fun fact: did you know Sweet Action beer was named after a porn magazine? Neither did I, but our bartender did!) If youre hungry, they serve individual pizzas starting at $6 for plain cheese - additional for toppings.The available side space alongside the long bar counter is peppered with tables, and can get a little cramped with people standing around, so our group of nine made our way to the back area, played some darts, and had plenty of room to rest our coats and spread out.All in all, a great place to hang after a late dinner and cap off our Friday night.
