Douche factor is high, but the view on a warm day is almost worth it.

Just found out they have Cooper's Sparkling Ale. Such a good summer beer and my favorite from Australia.

You have to smoke in the front, which is annoying considering EVERYWHERE IS OUTSIDE!

Great views. Long lines. High prices.

AWESOME DIVE BAR - if you want to be in Manhattan but not 'feel' like you're in Manhattan - this is the spot for you!

On weekends get here around 1pm or earlier to secure good seating. Any later will be a pain in the butt.

Calamari is pretty good and serves about 2.

Like a frat party on a boat. But still very fun and thier white sangria and garlic fries are TRUTH
Stuart SmithAugust 12, 2009
Get there very early. Get's crazy packed. Go straight to the boat on the left. Less packed. Don't sit inside if you get seasick.

Feels like I'm out of the city on a pier somewhere. Food is mediocre. Just come here for the ambiance

What's more summer than a bucket of coronas, clam bake, burgers/fries and people watching?
Erin ByrneJuly 5, 2012
A great place with insufferable bouncers.
James HollandJuly 7, 2017
Great location, but slow service and the food was cold when it did arrive.
Jessi PMay 29, 2010
Go early before the douchey crowd shows up. The food is better than you'll expect!

Walked in and walked right out. Don't waste your time.

DrinkinIPA on a boat will get you tipsy/"sea sick" much quicker!
D JJune 23, 2012
If there's a line outside....don't even bother waiting. "15 minutes" means an hour and a half if you're lucky.
Karine SJuly 30, 2009
Garlic Fries. Bucket of Coronas. Top deck of the boat overlooking the skyline during the sunset.
Dana KMay 13, 2012
If only Tim had been there, I could have thrown him in the Hudson.
