One of the best dive bars in LES/EV. Pool, ski ball, foosball. Inexpensive drinks, never too crowded and just a fun spot overall. Always a go-to.

Pretty cheap pitchers, allowed to bring outside food in, foosball and pool tables, and big TVs for sports. Proximity to East River Park makes it the perfect postgame spot after group sports.

arkside Lounge attracts an eclectic crowd throughout the day and night. The vibe is super casual and unpretentious, with lots of folks enjoying themselves on one of the many different games available. Read more

If you're a bored to death (Jonathan Ames, Jason schwartzman,Big Lazy music band, Raymond Chandler,Philip Marlowe, White Wine sipping Pot smoking PI) fan you have to checkin here. It's mandatory.

One of the last five bars in the neighborhood, I’ve been celebrating life here for years. Love this place.

Phenomenal management and great staff. Potentially more importantly they have a great pool table. Folks seem to abide by 8 ball rules.

Attended and hosted many events here - Love their event space in the back! The skeeball and video games are a great touch. Good prices too.

The back room is great for events. Sometimes music, other times up-and-coming comedians practicing their craft and supporting each other through it.

Kind of off the beaten track but if you're close by it's worth a stop. Good vibes and cheap drinks.

Stop by the Parkside on Tuesday nights for DJ Andrew Andrew's residency, "C U Next Tuesday." A great low-key evening for conversation and cocktails with occasional shows in the back room.

Such a great spot! Dive bar without the unsanitary, need-to-wash-your-hands-after-touching-anything feeling. Pro tip: Frozen Pickleback! (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Dive with cheap PBR and pool. Live music venue in the back with a cover. The photo booth takes cool, grainy film photos.
CarolMarch 27, 2022
The guy, Michael, who runs the Inspired Word open mic, is unfriendly and unamused and if he sees you walk in without paying the cover, he will hunt you down. Cool event, but def will not go back

An oldie...but, an oh-so-goody! Sinks some solids...have a beer...watch some cheap downtown cabaret - or dance to AndrewAndrew every Tues eve!
Sass ConfOctober 5, 2013
Off the beaten path favorite. Cheap drinks, pool. Live music in the back. Good for large parties
Jean CelsoMarch 16, 2015
Cute bar until one of the staff blatantly steals your gloves when closing down the stage rooms and denies it when you come looking for them before ever even leaving the bar..

Best living room ever. Great happy hour and normal bartenders. And always Parkside the beer to a 24oz.

easily one of the best bar pool tables in NYC. the felt is clean, not super worn, and the table is level which is exceedingly hard to find these days.

foosball, photo booth, pool, pac man!, jukebox & piano key wall tiles. PBR on draft & a cool, eclectic crowd. heaven on earth - i hear wednesdays trivia at 9 gets rowdy
Ashley RoseDecember 28, 2014
Order in/bring take out for a pre-trivia meal on Wednesday nights.
Rich GallagherAugust 24, 2011
Have a mystery beer ($3 - their blind choice) and play pool at one of the best dives in NYC.
Christopher LeeMarch 23, 2012
If you beat the owner at foosball he'll buy you a drink. He's around all the time and he goes by Johnny Warrior.
Josh MateoMarch 23, 2014
Awesome pickle back. Spicy jalepaño flavor
Time Out New YorkMarch 30, 2010

My boyfriend’s first performance took place here today... it will forever be lengendary 💙
Bu DhaviDecember 4, 2013
I've never witnessed such a disgraceful treatment of musicians until 12/3/13. The event coordinator harassed a band leader in front of his audience and peers. I will never step foot in this bar again
Maggie WalshJune 16, 2016
Trivia was fun, not super competitive or regulated. Cheap drinks.
JenKuduJune 10, 2012
There's a performance space in the back. Check out some good burlesque shows!

This place can smell like dead hipster sometimes. But the tiny pool table makes up for it. Bring on your quarters.
