    Small, cool dive bar situated on a Williamsburg corner. What's not to like?! $6 beer + shot specials & $10 frozen vodka lemonades. Apparently there's also $1 off cocktails if you have a movie ticket?

    The Federale is one of the original, and still most effective, beer and shot combos

    $6 for a well shot and a pbr during happy hour is pretty standard around these parts but $5 for a tecate and a shot of sauza anytime, all the time? You can't get much better than that

    Have a Clemonade in the mid-day made by Bev it's the best, if you like it real strong let James do it.

    Winner of Best Bloody Mary in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! Cheap, unpretentious, and no one ever questions you ordering one at 10 AM.

    Awesome and cheap dive bar. A bit cramped on space if you're with a big group

    Bathroom on the right (from outside facing them) doesn't lock. Both are unisex so squat and wiz khalifa quick before you're walked in on.

    Not the best spot for a date or groups, but absolutely the best place to hang with a few close friends.

    Even though I'm an Eagles fan, I'll take a Patriot any day of the week here and twice on Sundays.

    Cheap beer and a shot. Nice place to just chill out. Nice bartenders. I always end up forgetting about this place but I need to remember to revisit without some else telling me to go.
