Gene R. • April 26, 2011Possibly the best dive bar in the east village. The crowd is amazing

The Daily Meal • June 19, 2011Best dive bar, best East Village bar, best New York bar, best end-of-night bar — Lucy's is all these, and a great jukebox bar too. Also in the mix, cheap (and strong) rail drinks.

Time Out New York • October 31, 2011The best dive bar in NYC is filled with regulars making efficient use of the low prices. The owners have banished TVs to promote friendly banter and there’s always the jukebox to keep you company.

Nicole D. • September 7, 2013Best dive bar since Yogi's.

WillMcD • August 16, 2011Not sure it's deserves to be called a Dive Bar. If you get your hand stamp at Mercury Lounge beers are only $3. PS go up stairs already!

Anne S. • November 26, 2022Better options in the east village. Expensive and kind of nasty doorman. It’s a service business fella, and a dive bar at that.

DoubleDeuce • December 21, 2021It's your basic garbage dive bar when you need one.

Gary • April 16, 2013Whether you start your night at this dive bar or end it, you can't go wrong with $5 for a can of Tecate and a shot of tequila.

J Crowley • February 15, 2015One of my favorite dive bars in the east village.

Sara • January 2, 2011Best dive bar in the EV. Pints are $3 during happy hour. Bring in tamales from next door if you're hungry. 

Anna B. • August 26, 2019Awesome dive bar. Their super cheap happy hour goes until 8pm!

Willem V. • August 24, 2015Local dive bar with a great live folk music session on Monday nights. Also popular with Liverpool soccer fans.

Connie C. • November 9, 2014Greatest place for pickle backs! Get the spicy ones for a spicy breath ;)

David H. • August 16, 2014New place on Ave B serves specialty tins of select fish and seafood in seasoned oils. Comes with warm pitas and butter for dipping and sharing - fantastic. I labeled the tins for the curious.

Matt H. • March 29, 2014Great burgers, fries, and onion rings.

ℳ𝒶𝓎♍ • December 28, 2019Yes it's a bit of a dive bar, but it is the most exciting of its sort. Super love it in here. It's just like walking back into the early 90s clubs. Trust me, that's a huge compliment!
