Hot Dogs! They have a hot dog with potato salad on the top. Super good! There is also one with pesto that's tasty too. They're new on the block with hot dogs and I'm hooked for sure. Veggie ones too!
Jonathan L.August 8, 2014Super duper hole in the wall dive bar. Love the set up. Happy hour specials are on point as well. Very small place so don't come with a large group. About 20 people fit comfortably in this joint.
The New YorkerJanuary 6, 2014“The wine list is small but affordable, and hot dogs, topped with ethnic-inspired combinations like chopped onions and teriyaki sauce, are offered sporadically.” Read more
KamSeptember 14, 2014Small hole in the wall bar in Chinatown, next door to a dumpling place. Nice and unpretentious.
Mike JarmuzSeptember 18, 2013This is my favorite bar on the lower east side. Especially when Solomon is working. They always have free shows and crazy stuff going on. Plus they sell hot dogs during the day!
Eliza LievanoJanuary 19, 2019Great vibe love this place drinks are great bartender is funny and they have a comedy show
Valerie SJanuary 23, 2017Cozy hole-in-the-wall dive bar with a chill vibe and friendly bartenders. Amateur comedy shows, too.
- DoubleDeuceFebruary 20, 2016Great 90's rap and a bartender that has no clue about 90's rap. What's not to like?! Maybe the tiny bathroom.
Sweet GrapesSeptember 18, 2013Come on Wednesday nights for Reverend Jen Miller's Anti-Slam. 8:00 pm. Crazy show. Free admission and $3 Lionshead Beers- Ian WestcottMarch 6, 2015Play a few rounds of Cards Against Humanity with everyone in the bar, or convince the bartender to set up YouTube karaoke.
Mike ByhoffFebruary 5, 2015I wish this place existed when I live in the LES. It is everything I want in a barz
