Bartenders are fun here, drinks are super affordable. $6 shot and beer. There's a pool table and CD jukebox. Great for a small hangout or bar hopping trip.
great spot for the end of the night when all you want is a shot and a beer. total dive if that's what you're looking for.- Tijuana Special = a shot of tequila (made in their basement) and a Tecate for $6. Always a good idea.
Ellen S. P.August 9, 2014I was shocked by how delicious their home made watermelon martinis were. Seriously? This place? YES. You will drink it up!
StayNYC RentalsOctober 17, 2018This throwback joint is all about the dive bar essentials -- shooting pool, pounding brews, and doing it all on the cheap.- Gary PeckApril 16, 2013Whether you start your night at this dive bar or end it, you can't go wrong with $5 for a can of Tecate and a shot of tequila.
William HAugust 23, 2014One of the diviest dive bars around. If you want a place that feels like you could pick a knife-fight, this is it.
kbd bMarch 30, 2018Love this bar 0% pretentious. Bartender 100% generous. Drinks delicious and make this place 100% dangerous.
Gunnar AasenMarch 1, 2015This bar is a deep dive. Bring cash and soften up on cheap drinks while waiting to get into Death and Co.
Abner AcevesJune 1, 2015Tequila Shot + Tecate for $6? That's all you need to know about this #ledge spot.
Solid NY dive bar that has withstood the NYU invasion well.
Samantha OnoratoMay 8, 2012Staff is very nice and drinks are cheap (several beer + shot specials). Cash only though if that matters to you.
Dan MoneyJuly 20, 2019It doesn't look like much, but actually it's everything you need and nothing else
WORLD CLASS JUKEBOX. either do your best or sit back and listen to your barmates make the room incredible.

Take care of your bartender and they'll take care of you. Friends and regulars who are cordial and generous are treated the same.
- Cherry Tavern is a great way to start off your night on the cheap. $5 Tijuana Special = Shot of tequila + can of Tecate
Christopher ZumbrennenJanuary 30, 2010PBR vs Tecate, bourbon vs tequila. It's like the Spanish American war I'm there. Only everyone wins.
Not sure if the t+t special is worth the three billion degrees.
