My absolute favorite bar; been going since 1997 and it hasn't lost its appeal. Good beer selection; the Dark & Stormy is delicious; and their LI Iced Teas aren't for wimps. Read more
Been going here for years!! Best happy hour ($3.50 for drafts!) and chillest brotanicas in town.
Seems to be a strong correlation between carrying up your empties and getting drinks faster. This is true in general because bartenders are not wasting time chasing your empties.
Paula MartiniJune 6, 2011Great spot in NYC. But don't go for the organic Schneider's wheat beer. Tastes like balloon.
- Start with a Ginger Yum Yum, and end many Ginger Yum Yums later. Potent delicious bliss!
JaclynMay 20, 2013Happy Hour: $3 well drinks, $3.50 pints Monday through Friday, 5-8 pm; Weekends, 6-8 pm
even if you're not done with your drink, get another happy hour drink at 7:50pm and double-fist your way to a hangover
Wifi pw is the phone number. Happy hour prices are awesomeeee.
Second favorite basement dive. And a stones throw from Tom & Jerry's. Love this spot.
A lot of people here look like they might cut you. So wear your leather jacket and order something cheap that comes in a bottle.
Saaya Rei RuizFebruary 27, 2018so ginger yum yum was okay but the feeling of the bar wasn’t inviting- I've always loved ogling myself in the mirrors behind the bar while I wait to order my drink.
Juliet UlmanSeptember 2, 2010Ommegange Witte on tap, and one of the few bars in NYC that offers Dark & Stormies. Yes please!
Come see Dan on Monday & Wednesdays. He's the best. & if you're lucky & catch him on a Sunday, he may sing some karaoke too.
Some good beers on the cheap - try the Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale or the Blue Point Toasted Lager
Caroline McCarthyMarch 20, 2009I came here right after returning from SXSW. During happy hour, you can get a Sierra Nevada for $3.50. I noticed this and exclaimed, "These are Texas prices!"

"I love this place. Great dive bar with low, warm lights, 2-for-1 happy hour drinks (if you tip!), and consistently great music. Plus the bartenders are v cool."
Katherine Krueger - 8.5
"Text the bar to order, colorful lighting, feels like the Havana scene in Guys and Dolls. Kitschy funky decor, warm, lively. The music is so good, and the leopard print pool table in the back is 👌👌"
