Best during early drinking hours, when you can actually imagine fishermen hanging here and forget about its proximity to the Meatpacking District. Read more

Great bar especially on Sunday nights. Play pool, it is only $.50 and Lindsey the bartender is cool. Nuff said

They pour lime juice and salt all over the cans of tecate. It tastes like you're drowning in the ocean by mexico. In a great way.

Get here early for #scissorsundays, grab a table and pretzel dog. Good food and tunes!

Bring friends to this nautical-themed bar for affordable drinks and super cheap small plates. Try a pretzel dog for $4 & pork tacos ($8). Read more

The warm navy cider is the best I've had- delicious and perfect on a cold night with a slice of orange.
Jessica EliasAugust 22, 2011
Get the bar's namesake drink - it's delicious & refreshing, almost like a frozen mojito, but better. Then watch the sunset.

Must stop in for the soft rock favorites!

Any bar that serves pickle backs automatically gets an A+.. Do try their signature Rusty Knot- delicious, refreshing.. Like a blended frozen mojito..

2 for 1 Busch Heavies during happy hour. View of the Hudson and an aquarium at which to stare.

Although its not the easiest to get to, this bar is always lively. Order a Rusty Knot (or 2, or 3...).

Order a rusty knot. Basically a deliciously pimped out frozen mojito.

One of the best guacamole I've had in NYC!

Best place in the city to get a salted Tecante can.
Tim VetterFebruary 19, 2010
The Rusty Knot (drink) is as good as people say. Certainly the best libation you ever had out of a blender.
Adam SiemiginowskiJune 6, 2013
You must try The Rusty Knot, the drink. Especially if you love mint!

One of our 10 best Manhattan bars- cheap Tecates, tasty tiki drinks, and pretzel dogs keep it real.

Great spot for Saturday afternoon drinks with friends

Haven't had gin since that night sophomore year of college but these Singapore slings are rad.
Barrett SheridanJanuary 23, 2012
Be prepared to endure a lot of fratty bankers. Last night I overheard this:Girl: Nice shirt. Is that from J. Crew?Guy: Do I look like I'm poor?But at least the Dark 'n' Stormy is tasty.
Clayton SchmidtJuly 10, 2010
The pretzel dog is amazing. This place is like someone's basement but with no parents to tell you to be quiet. Stand up and get drunk at this tiki dive bar

Top spot for Bros being served by Enfant Rocher.

The Frozen Mojitio is insane.This is not a place that waters down the drinks. Pace and enjoy!

Where else can you get a $3 draft, $8 blended drink, and the feel of lake house

Best dark & stormy in the world

Usually overcrowded and kinda basic. Get 2 Rusty Knots and you'll feel toasty.

Warm up with a tecate, get a pretzeldog and finish up with a couple of pickle backs for desert!
Erin SSeptember 25, 2010
Um, I would be a happy girl if I could find out what ginger beer they use. Those Dark N Stormy's were worth the ridiculous price!
Kyle HoedlJuly 13, 2010
Get a pickle back - shot of whiskey followed by a shot of pickle juice. Surprisingly delicious and refreshing.

Weekdays or daytime on weekends seem like the move. The tiny plastic mermaid is not edible
