    Reasonably priced. Great atmosphere and music! No tvs or other distractions. Makes you enjoy your time with your company! Defiantly will go again when visiting New York!

    One of my favorite bars. I don't know what these other folks are talking about. The bartenders are awesome. Just be nice. They will be more than nice back.

    Great spot with great cocktails but a big miss on draught beers. Great date spot/hang out with friends and coworkers.

    Great spot for a crowd, no frills, just enough to get the job done. Event space or a group space in the back. It can get busier later on the weekends.

    It's a chill bar, great for after work hang outs. No draft just bottled beer. Liquor and wine also limited.

    Not remarkable, but what’s not to like? Neighborhood vibes. They can mix a decent cocktail. Appears to be dog friendly....even when it’s packed

    The only saving grace of this place is that they've got a really great selection of beer (including Six Point) for $6 bucks.

    Wish the prices on the liquor selection was a little easier on the wallet but the beer selection is decent and slightly reasonable for manhattan. (Better than paying $7 bucks for a draft PBR!)

    Great place to go if you want to drink with your friends but don't want to deal with a crowded bar.

    Fun 90s music but no food and limited wine list can only get you so far...

    Watch put for the black guy @ bar sunday nights: Just got a beer and when I was enjoying the music and almost done, the guy came and said: "you owe me the second beer". I had to pay him twice. Awful..

    good music selection...really cool atmosphere...the absence of a beer tap was a minor bummer...beer selection was very good though.

    You check your pockets a couple of times thinking the bartenders stole your iPod and made a playlist with your music.

    Rude bartenders. Kicked us out because they couldn't make the drinks we ordered. Also their Gin gimlets are sub-standard.
