    Back room of No Fun was amazing! Dj was great! He plays every song less than 2 mins & party never gets slower there! Actually summary of No Fun: White people who enjoy with the music of black people.

    This place serves up great tapas with a rock n' roll vibe. You can't go wrong with the small-plated seafood-packed paella w/ fried peppers or the oysters dish topped w/ wasabi tobiko and sliced tuna. Read more

    Thought the bar tenders were awesome, they worked with us to make my bro's bday amazing. And the DJ was sick. Started with good house but switched over to an awesome new school/old school mix at 12

    Best happy hour in the city as far as I am concerned. Discounts on drinks AND food. The Nachos are loaded with toppings. Brendan the bartender is amazing.

    Djs, dancing, nice bouncers, place gets crazy and packed on the weekends in a good way, decent people. You can dance on the benches in the back ;).

    The irony is this place can be a lot of fun depending on the party. The front bar area can get a little claustrophobic on busy nights but the bartenders are usually on point. Authentic LES sh*t.

    Long lines on the weekend! Great DJ spinning amazing music in the back room. Can get overcrowded on many occasions.

    happy hour prices until 8pm - come early for delicious small plates (fried potatoes, calamari, arancini, italian chopped salad, etc) before the LES weekend crowd streams in!

    Awesome! Love it love it love it. It was no fun at all :). Great music, nice spot. Haven't tried the tapas yet but will next time.

    Go with top shelf. Beer taps are good, issues with the pour makes the cocktails a better option for the discerning enthusiast. Enjoy the music!! :)

    Pro tip: go on weeknights. Grab taquitos from across the street and bring them in. Dance. Repeat.

    If your squad is comprised of not hideous females, expect the Australian/Brit (heritage ambiguous) to pull you to the front of the ridiculously long line. Happy "No Fun"-ing!

    Looks like a mix between the front part of Piano's and the downstairs of Affaire on Saturday night.....a true LES original.

    The tuna sliders were the clear victors from the menu of apps and pastas. It's a shame about the gelato, it was clear to me that it melted, re-froze and crystallized. Grainy, not creamy.

    This place is awesome. Happy hour until 8, even on the weekends. If you're hungry, try the Papas Bravas, so good.

    Super fun on the weekends. Gets crowded but worth it, usually a $10 cover for guys.

    Don't let the name fool you, it is fun. The music was just a little too clubby at times.

    Bouncers pretend they are landing airplanes by flashing lights in your face and giving you directions to move. We are supposed to know you're there... Not constantly be harassed by you.
