Walk through the first door and before you enter the premise take an immediate right and sit in the private room where you will be able to order drinks through a window.

You can reserve a nifty section between the bar and the front window that's gives you a guaranteed access point to the bartender. Nifty setup, indeed.

Walked by on a Tuesday night at 2:00am and heard Biggie Smalls blaring. Decided to try it ended up having a blast. Good music, good dancing, good drinks. Read more

This place is my new favorite happy hour spot. Great beer selection for $3 untill 9 PM...yes 9 PM. Cheers!

This place’s happy hour laughs in the face of the word “hour”—it runs from 4 to 9 p.m. Beers are $3 (and PBR is $2), one of the best bargains in New York City. Can’t beat that.

a dive bar with a long happy hour… well drinks are only $4 and they pack a punch. bring food from places down the block and have yourself a night!

$3 drafts during happy hour... Also, two private rooms in the front of the bar make u feel like your drinking at your own place

Grab your $3 beers and enjoy them in the "snug" private little booths with prime window seating.

This happy hour is out of control, perfect for a weekday drink to avoid the crowds

Good drinks, good prices. But if you're looking for atmosphere this is not the place to go. Very dingy and the bathroom looks like a nightmare!

The happy hour during the week is amazing, and lasts until 9!

Rachel, the Friday bartender, is the best. If you don't love this bar, go to Times Square.

$3 HH in a rustic setting, close to the music scene w/o being overly crowded. Bring cash - CC minimums apply.

First, jasper can freeze. The bar tenders here are cream of the crop. Rachel and Colleen are the jamz!

until 9pm all drafts $3 - a pint of young's double chocolate stout at this price is the best deal in the city.

I had my ID checked twice because I looked too young. But the $4 cocktail was pretty good for its price.

Weirdly unidentifiable from the outside. But good mood with ample seating on a Friday night.
