JD MaloneAugust 31, 2015Staff can be annoying at times but friendly. Great venue for shows. Crowd can get a bit moody bc of the staff so get your New Yorker on and just dish it back if it happens.
Naliaka WakhisiJanuary 26, 2012Come on.wed. For live band karaoke. The bartender is awesome and really nice! Also im literally in love with lead guitarist. Give him a shout out!
Courtney McCathernNovember 29, 2012Michele the bartender is awesome - all the bartenders here are! There's an outdoor area where you can smoke (below street level) which is cool for people like me who do imbibe!
Patsy StoneApril 30, 2013Saw an off Broadway show here. Great little venue with extremely cool And helpful staff. Bar off to the side. Easy low key neighborhood hang out
Great live shows, like The Food Funny on Monday nights! Nothing like it in the city!
EricaJuly 3, 2013Fun little space to see music. Their fresh from scratch watermelon margaritas are amazing, but skip food if you're seeing show 1hr for a salad??
Great Upper West Side bar for a casual atmosphere, drinks, pool, tasty bar food and sometimes live bands...just had renovations and the place looks great! Also has an outdoor area in front...
Shani AdiaAugust 4, 2013Black family reunion music is on heavy rotation here. Love it! Drinks are also very well priced.
Adrian RennieMarch 9, 2014First time visited. Tried to show waitress the foursquare discount, ignored it. Also gave wrong change back to my friend. Ah well... win some lose some
My #2 go-to study spot in my neighborhood for these reasons: cheap drinks, cheap food (I like the fish tacos), free wi-fi, chill atmosphere.
Love Uptown Thursday's, their weekly gay night with $4 drinks from 10-11pm

Marc PatlanMay 22, 2013It's pointless to mention that there is a $15 drink minimum in the lounge, because you will be reminded every 5 minutes by the staff.
- The bartenders. Mello. Jeremy. Megan. And the Brothers at the door.
DJ Crystal ClearFebruary 19, 2012The Southern, tattooed, dyed haired bartender/server is AWESOME! The dishwater blonde is a snippy bitch with a HORRIBLE attitude and MOST unhelpful.
Oliver LoraMarch 23, 2011I live this place been coming here for years... nice spot to hang out have a smoke amd chill..
Bruce KennedyMarch 9, 2010The best "east village" vibe on the UWS. If you see a guy with a magenta mac working on a script - chances are it's me!
Nicole MartinSeptember 26, 2010The staff here is awesome. If you like Guinness try the Mother's Milk. That stuff is amazing.
Get the underground old fashioned. Top notch. This is a downtown bar in Morningside heights.
JC EarleJanuary 30, 2010Cool bar, a little narrow but you can rock it. They have amazing sweet potato fries!
MalachyAugust 25, 2010Tuesday nights trivia night!!!! I can't wait for my turn getting the $50 bar tab!
Jim McCrayFebruary 7, 2010Go to the open mic. I did it last summer and got totally wasted on the $4 Margaritas. They wanted me to come back; but I am a piece of shit and never returned. It's my one regret in life. Read more

"The new space is wonderful, though a bit of a challenge due to it's enormity. It's likely to be a great spot for any Big Sportsball Match. A great space if you have a huge group."
