My absolute favorite bar; been going since 1997 and it hasn't lost its appeal. Good beer selection; the Dark & Stormy is delicious; and their LI Iced Teas aren't for wimps. Read more
devonAugust 25, 2012great prices on everything, but like everyone else said, the dark & stormies are very worth it!
Keith KaplanOctober 20, 2014Bar is a bit of a dive, but its great for getting beer for cheap during happy hour.
A lot of people here look like they might cut you. So wear your leather jacket and order something cheap that comes in a bottle.
Happy hour 5-8pm, drafts are 3-4$, well drinks 4$. Try the Ginger Yum Yum too! It's fantastic

Second favorite basement dive. And a stones throw from Tom & Jerry's. Love this spot.
JaclynMay 20, 2013Happy Hour: $3 well drinks, $3.50 pints Monday through Friday, 5-8 pm; Weekends, 6-8 pm
Wifi pw is the phone number. Happy hour prices are awesomeeee.
Been going here for years!! Best happy hour ($3.50 for drafts!) and chillest brotanicas in town.
Come see Dan on Monday & Wednesdays. He's the best. & if you're lucky & catch him on a Sunday, he may sing some karaoke too.
Meg DelaneyApril 15, 2012let's just be naked. such cheap drinks. cheapest in les and prob manhattan #bringit
Paula MartiniJune 6, 2011Great spot in NYC. But don't go for the organic Schneider's wheat beer. Tastes like balloon.
I've always loved ogling myself in the mirrors behind the bar while I wait to order my drink.- Seems to be a strong correlation between carrying up your empties and getting drinks faster. This is true in general because bartenders are not wasting time chasing your empties.
Saaya Rei RuizFebruary 27, 2018so ginger yum yum was okay but the feeling of the bar wasn’t inviting
Juliet UlmanSeptember 2, 2010Ommegange Witte on tap, and one of the few bars in NYC that offers Dark & Stormies. Yes please!
