oh hell yes it's popping with Adults. oh hell yes you want that titular drink
Angela CaseyDecember 10, 2012Great bar especially on Sunday nights. Play pool, it is only $.50 and Lindsey the bartender is cool. Nuff said
Sally H.September 8, 2012Although its not the easiest to get to, this bar is always lively. Order a Rusty Knot (or 2, or 3...).
Jessica EliasAugust 22, 2011Get the bar's namesake drink - it's delicious & refreshing, almost like a frozen mojito, but better. Then watch the sunset.
I love the rusty knot. The drink! So delicious, and perfect for spring/summer
Cros BeeApril 12, 2014One of the best things about this bar is that you can see New Jersey from the window.
DrewJune 24, 20132 for 1 Busch Heavies during happy hour. View of the Hudson and an aquarium at which to stare.
aSiandeLiteAugust 4, 2010Any bar that serves pickle backs automatically gets an A+.. Do try their signature Rusty Knot- delicious, refreshing.. Like a blended frozen mojito..
Keith CarolloApril 20, 2010The mini sloppy joes are amazing. Don't share 'em. Tell your friend to get his own! Oh, also two Busch on tap for 3 bucks till 7pm, yessssssssss.
Tim VetterFebruary 19, 2010The Rusty Knot (drink) is as good as people say. Certainly the best libation you ever had out of a blender.
This is the go-to tiki bar for people who love Zombie drinks.
Village VoiceAugust 31, 2010One of our 10 best Manhattan bars- cheap Tecates, tasty tiki drinks, and pretzel dogs keep it real.
James GOctober 11, 2014The Frozen Mojitio is insane.This is not a place that waters down the drinks. Pace and enjoy!
They pour lime juice and salt all over the cans of tecate. It tastes like you're drowning in the ocean by mexico. In a great way.
Order a rusty knot. Basically a deliciously pimped out frozen mojito.
Clayton SchmidtJuly 10, 2010The pretzel dog is amazing. This place is like someone's basement but with no parents to tell you to be quiet. Stand up and get drunk at this tiki dive bar
Michael DempseyMay 30, 2017Usually overcrowded and kinda basic. Get 2 Rusty Knots and you'll feel toasty.
Stephanie JohnsonJune 30, 2013Get here early for #scissorsundays, grab a table and pretzel dog. Good food and tunes!
R CApril 28, 2013Haven't had gin since that night sophomore year of college but these Singapore slings are rad.
LukeApril 12, 2015Weekdays or daytime on weekends seem like the move. The tiny plastic mermaid is not edible- Pretzel dogs! Don't stand to close to the juke with your phone!
Fair warning, the dark & stormy is 'non-traditional' and pretty spicy.- Tim VetterDecember 23, 2009Drew, bartender at Cabrito's & 16 year W Village resident, says this place is the shit. Recommends the bacon & chicken liver sandwich!
Kyle HoedlJuly 13, 2010Get a pickle back - shot of whiskey followed by a shot of pickle juice. Surprisingly delicious and refreshing.
Yonathan BendeskyOctober 2, 2010To start they serve Tecate! How much better can it get? They have the best tacos al pastor in the city... Amazing
Warm up with a tecate, get a pretzeldog and finish up with a couple of pickle backs for desert!
Top 5 favorite bars in NYC. It's gay on Sunday afternoons ;)
Order a double and it comes in a flaming bucket...forget what Eric f. Says the pickle-back is the best drink in th w village.
