Reasonably priced. Great atmosphere and music! No tvs or other distractions. Makes you enjoy your time with your company! Defiantly will go again when visiting New York!

One of my favorite bars. I don't know what these other folks are talking about. The bartenders are awesome. Just be nice. They will be more than nice back.

Great spot with great cocktails but a big miss on draught beers. Great date spot/hang out with friends and coworkers.

Great spot for a crowd, no frills, just enough to get the job done. Event space or a group space in the back. It can get busier later on the weekends.

It's a chill bar, great for after work hang outs. No draft just bottled beer. Liquor and wine also limited.

Not remarkable, but what’s not to like? Neighborhood vibes. They can mix a decent cocktail. Appears to be dog friendly....even when it’s packed

The only saving grace of this place is that they've got a really great selection of beer (including Six Point) for $6 bucks.

Wish the prices on the liquor selection was a little easier on the wallet but the beer selection is decent and slightly reasonable for manhattan. (Better than paying $7 bucks for a draft PBR!)

Black Door is a great, low key bar with moody ambiance.

Great place to go if you want to drink with your friends but don't want to deal with a crowded bar.

Fun 90s music but no food and limited wine list can only get you so far...
Amy TremmelMarch 18, 2015
Casual after work happy hour place. Can get quite crowded.

Watch put for the black guy @ bar sunday nights: Just got a beer and when I was enjoying the music and almost done, the guy came and said: "you owe me the second beer". I had to pay him twice. Awful..

The music is on point. As Drake would say, "cotdamn"

Solid place to have a beer

good music selection...really cool atmosphere...the absence of a beer tap was a minor bummer...beer selection was very good though.

There is a very large topographical map of Colorado in the bathroom.

You check your pockets a couple of times thinking the bartenders stole your iPod and made a playlist with your music.

Dog-friendly bar 🐶🐶!!!

rude bartender lady at the front bar and no decor of any type in the back room (which is supposed to be for events and celebrations).

Get an Old Pal here. Mind blown.

Men in Barbour jackets fist pumping to Mumford + Sons remixes. Just FYI

Nice spot if you're in Chelsea/midtown, average price, no happy hour
JC MontJuly 16, 2014
Rude bartenders. Kicked us out because they couldn't make the drinks we ordered. Also their Gin gimlets are sub-standard.
Brittney MoersJune 4, 2011
Than is the BEST bartender!!!!!!!

The bartenders here give generous pours. Three bourbons felt like six.

Love douche bags and room temperature IQs? Welcome to ground zero.

To be avoided for Thurs happy hour. Way understaffed at the bar.

The Ainsworth spillover crowd is the worst.
Mike ByhoffApril 25, 2013
No food, no happy hour, nothing on draft, $5 bud bottles. All the worst NYC has to offer!

Cool bar for a cool beer after a days work
