Kristin TsafosAugust 30, 2012They've got some great Happy Hour Specials. MY favorite is the $3 beer/shot combo!
Onyi NwosuNovember 7, 2013$4 well drinks during happy hour and you can order via text! Pretty sweet. Bathroom is scary.
Mike HornMarch 1, 2010Dive bar with OK live music. Practically in China Town. Pretty inconvenient spot. Unless of course you live in China Town but I'm pretty sure you won't know anyone who does...
$3 beer/shot combos during happy hour, good snacks, can't go wrong.
Rebecca BurkettAugust 23, 2012I really like this bar. They never should have started serving food as their food is miserable at best. Blech. If you're going to do raw bar, you have to do it well.
If you're into Chimay, Dogfishhead or Microbrews and like to pay only $6 a glass, here's your place. Pretty classy for a dive bar if you ask me
Eric TashMarch 22, 2015Place has character but make sure to check your bill if you put a credit card down - arbitrary 30% tip seems high.

Alexx MilesAugust 16, 2013Came here with a stranger, found out he had the same birthday as me. April 15th. THE UNIVERSE IS REAL
The tenders are awake,., good Attention.. Is rare on manhattan.
BonobosAugust 9, 2012Taxidermy dinosaur heads, leopard-felt pool table, go go dancers, cheap drinks.
Steven AlonzoFebruary 4, 2014"Grilled dumplings" you mean microwaved. Like all of their food, waiting 30+ min for my ticket and its slow, not happy
MattMarch 9, 2013Mac n cheese came out indelibly burnt, waitress acted like there was no problem with that
- The oysters are raw but the oyster girls are smokin'.

"A wonderful place. Great camaraderie between imbibers and servers alike. A darker, cozier and slightly smaller place but it's off the busy path and ready to serve a good drink at a good price."
