If your trying to get white girl wasted on a Monday afternoon this is the place to come 1/2 the entire bar, can't go wrong with that. This is the place to come for that kind of mischief
The Corcoran GroupAugust 9, 2013A bit fratty, but still a great place to watch a game in the Lower East Side. There's always great drink specials, so be sure to take advantage!- Erik CintronApril 13, 2014This bar is just hole in the wall that is good for cheap drinks & decent bar food. Happy hour is great & every day is a different deal. College crowd expected and beer pong and good for sports game.
Matthew KMarch 15, 2018This place is good if: you want very cheap drinks, want random.free shots from your waitress, want to watch a game, or want to get drunk as hell. Fun spot if it's what you're looking for!
Zack SheppardAugust 6, 2014A contender in the "places you're most likely to get caught in a bar fight" competition.
Ira BApril 21, 2015I mean... If you really love not being able to move freely or if you like being in a crowd that's undoubtedly 2x over the fire code limit, this is the place you need to party on the weekends.
Alexandra Chavane de DalmassyDecember 1, 2013Here at 7:45, and the crowd is already inebriated. Fun time with a group of friends, but you may feel like you've invaded some massive frat party. Hello beer pong!
David GoldsenOctober 20, 2012New asshole bar in the middle of the LES. Not necessarily a bad thing. Good selection of booze and sports. Definitely the only one of its kind in the area.
Awesome place! Meet new people!! Go crazy! Have a memorable night here!! Monday's are chill and weekends are poppi'n
Maia McCannMarch 4, 2013If you like drunken frat boys and too tan blondes who will literally pet your head when you try to order a drink because they're overserved at 6pm, this is your bar.
Esther ChoiOctober 14, 2015Really fun great bar with weekly specials. Sit and watch sports or check out the beer pong table.
molly vosslerNovember 4, 2012First time here... what a great spot! The bartenders are great and the drinks are even better. I'll definitely be coming back!
Solid place to start off your night. Great happy hour before 8 and awesome daily specials- Jack OsborneOctober 1, 2018Imagine if Manhattan was a rug you picked up to shake and all the bros ended up in this one bar.
I hope you like mathematics, because this is a great place to get numbers at!
Brad KleinFebruary 23, 2016Usual bar times (Fri/sat nights).. place is a parking lot of basic bros n bids. Unless u miss college/frat parties, head elsewhere nearby. Prices are decent for LES tho, & when not jam-packed is fun
Louis MattaMay 9, 2015Not too crowded, has a good selection of beer and bar food, and it's happy hour is pretty wonderful.
Cliff WilsonJanuary 14, 2016College like bar, very crowded at night. Really fun beerpong earlier in the day and afternoons.
James MullanyFebruary 7, 2015Great beer specials, fried foods. Go in knowing that this is not a place for a date or families
Alex StillApril 12, 2016Good place to grab a cheap pint with your team after a match. Macro beers dominate the taps.
Keith, Brian, Rich, Ray, Courtney- you don't need to come for the beer, the food, or the 27 screens because the bartenders are enough.
@cfnobleNovember 19, 2012Solid pub menu, open wifi, more than a dozen HD screens. A strong entry in the neighborhood pub category! #LES
Sheila MarikarOctober 20, 2012Signals the death of the edgy lower east side, but with a half off bar every day till 8pm, the loss is easier to swallow.
Will KlingerDecember 15, 2013The least pretentious establishment in LES, by far. Great place for a beer and good company.
Rebecca MoyerNovember 17, 2012I don't think I've had a better bartender than Megan! She's fun, friendly, and freaking skilled! Will be back to see her!
Sharifah TraceeOctober 26, 2013Mini frat house, but great deals on drinks any day of the week. Awesome servers, overall great time.- Christy SmithJune 1, 2019This bar feels more like a club than a sports bar on the weekend nights — huge crowds, blaring music, and mountains of broken glass in the bathroom
CarolOctober 18, 2015Bro bar. Very very packed with drunk bros and chicks, but fun vibe and good music
Andy SchaeferJune 22, 2013You can't beat the wing combo for $9.99. Big meaty wings. Perfect onion rings.
They've got a different happy hour deal for every day of the week usually until 8pm
Mallorie RosenbluthJune 29, 2013I'd like to start a petition to get this Mecca of douchebaggery closed and banned from the LES. Please, take this establishment to Murray Hill where it belongs.
Ashley ChenNovember 5, 2015Kind of fratty, but the "you name it" $4 drink special after 8pm-close on Tuesday will help you cope.
Rebecca PlaineMarch 29, 2016Entirely too crowded on the weekends. Might not have a long line but good luck getting to the bar once inside.
Autumn NDecember 5, 2013The Jack Cheese and Jalapeno Grilled Cheese is seriously amazing! Tater tots equally so!
A total dive and full of wasted college kids and LES losers on the weekends. A+
Great happy hour steals. Try to avoid late night crowds.
Beerpong, if u want comp come thru and find me on Saturday night's. $15 pitchers but I'll serve u on the table, lol. Come thru
rich masioNovember 25, 2015Bro's and loud annoying brat girls. And it spills over in the street. It's places like this that have ruined the east village.
LieselFebruary 9, 2015What other bar could have drinks this cheap and be raging fun on a Saturday? #Winner
Will ShererJune 24, 2013Katie is a good bartender. She knows the area, and knows how to make a good drink.
Robin BrunelleJuly 12, 2014The kind of place where men who wish they were still in college pee in the bathroom sink. (This happened.)
