    great drinks, nice seating areas and and free popcorn! I love their music selections too but be prepared for louder volume. "Ok" for dates, but great to go out with friends!

    When in ur the city and u don't want to spend much and want to get in with out a hassle this is a spot. Always love the music and bartenders. Young college crowd can get annoying.

    Popcorn, drinks, and decent music. This place gets crowded, but it's a lot of fun, and is usually populated by employees of the retail stores on Fifth Avenue... Always a good time!

    Their dress code was hacked together to prevent a parody version of young black men from entering, so sorry if you're wearing a hat, sports jersey, plain white tee, or timberland boots. Ugh this place

    Hmmm three orders to get a beer, not off to a good start. Seems like a good place, but shape up if you're in times square area.

    It's not the same here...was a great place, but they keep firing great staff members. And now it's more than dodgy. The main manager is more than a cunt. Don't go here!
