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’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.

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

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

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

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

First, jasper can freeze. The bar tenders here are cream of the crop. Rachel and Colleen are the jamz!
Cassia LoharJuly 29, 2013
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!

Come on Friday, ask for Rachel, drink heavily. Enjoy. F Jasper, the staff here is THE BEST.

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