J CrowleySeptember 26, 2013This place is a dream. There's 4 pool tables. $16 beer towers during happy hour. And surprisingly good food - beef tacos and pork dumplings were yummy.
- Tracey ChurrayJuly 2, 2014This is the kind of place that you wouldn't surprised if something crazy happens. Sushi, tiki, club, pool haul with a live fish tank, wood bridge and rock walls? Only in NYC.
Ray LinJanuary 20, 2015If an interesting night in NYC is what you're looking for, look no further than this Chinatown bar with live fish, pool hall, throwback music, TVs and sushi.
Ashley SimonOctober 19, 2012if a tiki bar mated with chucky cheese they would have a beautifully tacky booze baby, and that baby would be named 128 Tropical.
Eric ChuAugust 7, 2014Fun and laid back, eclectic party crowd when the night gets going. And there's a weird sushi counter in the corner. And, what the F is downstairs?
J.R. ReedApril 29, 2018A VERY fun dance vibe - good for groups especially. Fun pool hall area in the back!
💎TSeptember 30, 2015Pretty fun on a Saturday night. They've got a nice area where you can dance. They also had two different DJs
No lie, this place has some of the best steak tacos I've ever had (and I've had many). Maybe it's the caramelized onions...
Alison RNovember 12, 2012This is the kind of place you walk into not knowing it could very well be the last night of your life.
jason pMay 14, 2015This is the best bar in NYC, but you need to embrace the ideology: cheap drinks and reckless fun
Megan GarciaNovember 9, 2014If there was a bar in Reno, NV... and this bar aspired to be a Las Vegas bar, but was an outskirts of Reno bar with low self esteem... not attached to a casino or anything...That describes Tropical.
Charlie CooperDecember 2, 2012Get there early if you want a pool table... No frills place with a great waitstaff and DJ. We danced our asses off!- decorated like a date rape bar but the drinks are cheap and there's lots of room
Patrick BaskinMay 1, 2016I mean place is tropical, but gets realllll douchey and bro-y at night (and crowded)
Anna McPheeFebruary 17, 2018Fun atmosphere, but don’t expect this bar decorated like a tiki lounge to have any sort of tiki drinks
Lisa LJuly 26, 2014This place is quite strange, but in a good way. If dancing cats with sombreros came out of the wall, I wouldn't be surprised.
BrandonMarch 13, 2015It's a tropical dive bar with pool tables. As long as that's what you're looking for, it's great. Don't expect more.
Sonny ByrdJanuary 8, 2013If you're looking for a cheap sketchy happy hour where you won't recognize anyone at the bar: HOMERUN.
Madison BackJune 15, 2016If you want to have a sweaty late night dance party ... And also play ski ball
Four 10' Pool Tables in the back, decent condition, fairly expensive hourly rates. Not much of a competitive scene, but a reliable place to find an open table
Vipul PatelJanuary 17, 2014Don't plan your goodbye drinks here on a Thursday unless you really like trivia
Sabrina BMarch 30, 2013If you want to get harassed and picked up by creepy men, this is the place to go.
Matthew MyersSeptember 27, 2009coconut mania is like a sweet coconut orgasm in your mouth- in yo mouth!

Tropical 128 is Chinatown’s legendary oasis with a brand new LES, SoHo meets Coney Island vibe. It's a great place to have fun, listen to good music, and let loose.
