Steven AndersonAugust 21, 2013NYC punk museum that just happens to be an extremely cool bar. Handsome Dick is a hell of a great guy and is there often.
Go for the punk/rock old-school juke and punk video/movies, especially when Joan is working behind the bar. Great happy hour, too.
Peter SheehyDecember 1, 2012If I were to build a jukebox, it would ABSOLUTELY have: Hank Williams, VU, the Clash, Bobby Darin, Jackie Wilson, the Band, Dave Clark Five, Elvis, Dion... One of the best jukes around!
Kendra BorowskiSeptember 8, 2016One of the best remaining dive bars in the East Village! Super friendly bartenders and excellent loud music.
NY WaterwayAugust 7, 2012Dive bar adorned with punk rock and wrestling memorabilia, owned by Richard Manitoba of The Dictators fame. Attracts a lively crowd of all sorts, especially bikers and punk rockers.
Vomitor McgheeMay 26, 2017If your a frat boy/sorority bitch don't come here this place is the opposite of your shitty existence. There's a chipotle on St. Marks that will be more your speed. 💥
Randall NovalMarch 29, 2016Original dive bar still standing. Great rock and roll pix, see if you can find Sexy Dick Manitoba in them.
Chris KarczApril 7, 2013It's like one level up in class from another favorite, Double Down Saloon. You trade pool for air hockey at this punk rock bar.
İpek A.November 17, 2014One of the oldest punk/rock bar in the city. Good music but a bit old-fashioned
$3 well drinks & draft beer from 2-8 everyday!Good music, fun environment, and ridiculous happy hour. The bartenders were a little bitchy but it's completely worth it.
- Peruse the walls and learn a bit about the NYC punk rock culture.
Amber FilgueirasSeptember 11, 2016A little bar owned by Handsome Dick Manitoba, punks will understand ❤️
FanBridgeSeptember 30, 2011Go for Thursday night trivia - it's the best we've been able to find in the area.
Katelyn LMarch 25, 2012Head downstairs for air hockey and a less crowded space to hang out. Drinks/draughts are $5-6.
Not only is Handsome Dick one of the coolest people in the world, this is just one of the best bars in the world.
Kevin FrancoAugust 23, 2011Wished I had more time than to spend at Manitoba's, went out of my way to have one beer in this famous joint.
Roberto StrepparavaApril 30, 2012Quintessential East Village club. Take a picture at the photo booth inside
Kristen MalzoneJanuary 22, 2011Play air hockey downstairs! If you need quarters, the bartender will exchange them for a hug and a dollar.
Kimberley ShepardJuly 22, 2011Their wall features signed photos of punk legends. Get the corner booth seat.
Spiky DaveDecember 1, 2010Grab a sandwich from Sunny and Annie across the street and have a brew with it here.
Olivier Nguyen Van TanSeptember 13, 2013No more Yankee games here (Met's instead...). What's wrong Mister Handsome D?
Evil, stop going here. The owner will steal your money!!
