This is a very particular crowd. If you like gingham, boat shoes, lacrosse, your fraternity, your Bros, getting drunk or just those sorts of people in general, you'll be happy here.- Sam BrownNovember 25, 2013Great spot for watching the Little Branch queue on a cold winter evening. Grab a pint and hang by the windows on the right of the door before finding the opportune time to run across the road.
- Saturday nights is super fratty but fun. Jam packed with recent college grads and new city transplants, you'll fit in fine if you came from the South. Also make sure you get a PBR in a can.
They replaced the projector next to the window with a HUGE TV. Big upgrade for the local teams' games
- Cheap drinks, lively young crowd with a penchant for fist pumping to jukebox hits. Perfect spot for the under 30 crowd hailing from the South.
- Fratty, but with the jukebox, pool table, arcade games and friendly staff, you can always have a good time here.
The New York CosmosJuly 26, 2013New York Cosmos midfielder Dane Murphy describes the Village Tavern as a good late night watering hole.
Abi BockSeptember 20, 2015Warning to my ladies: The female bartenders are only nice to male clientele.
VernaOctober 13, 2012Only upside is they have charging stations for your iPhones by the bathrooms. The downside it'll either get swiped by someone or you get it back smelling a bit like the bathrooms.
msMarch 11, 2015"Fratty" as the reviews say but a good time nonetheless. Maybe I like fratty. Maybe I like PBR. Ok
Erin MillerJuly 24, 2014Watch out for really terrible jukebox selections...and jerkoffs who pay the extra money to make their godawful songs go first.
Kaitlyn PezikMay 10, 2015super crowded on the weekends to the point you can't move. so many better options in the area. NEXT.- The TV situation is not ideal for football. The projector is by the window so all the light washes it out
Ryan AmbsSeptember 13, 2014This place is always either 5% occupied or 125% occupied. I really don't get the appeal.
Eliza ChangMarch 3, 2014Says the white friend: "This place is so white. I feel racist for being here."
Don't bang on the bar to Celion Dion. It will get you thrown out.- Jackson IsaacsonJuly 12, 2016Too crowded on weekends, too empty on weeknights. There's not exactly an ideal night to go.
Nope MayvilleFebruary 26, 2011Be like @jsamps and dance on the pool table. Free shots for your whole party.- Free Bleeker Street Pizza at halftime on football Sundays.
Michael McGovernJanuary 11, 2014The big Spanish bouncer is a real dick. Got thrown out for throwing a piece of ice without a warning. If you want to get treated like shit by unreasonable bouncers,this is the place for you.
They got rid of the pool table. That's some bullshit right there.
They have a charging station by the bathroom for cell phones and iPods.
Meghana ReddyJune 22, 2018Worst place on earth. Awful scene, awful drinks, awful service. Do not waste your time or money.
