Affordable by NYC standards. Plenty of TVs for games. Popcorn seasoning is on point. Friendly staff all the time. Gets crowded happy hour Th-Fri but that's an endorsement.
Silvia CocoSeptember 29, 2014great 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!
Erik CintronFebruary 10, 2014When 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.
Kaitlyn PezikMay 11, 2015dive bar with good happy hour specials. I come here often with coworkers cause it's close to my office.
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!

- Edward MansonApril 18, 2017Happy hour and popcorn? What's not to love? Central location and friendly bar staff.
Midtown dive bar. If you like Snafu Bar, you'll like it here. They're sisters.
Emily WSeptember 14, 2013Their 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- Lydia RaineyOctober 1, 2010monday and tuesday $ 5 stoli drinks or shots, wed-sat $3 bud light pints and $5 martinis and mohitos til 9, and $ 5 shots of patron all day all night staff is awesome!

Mike StrebFebruary 9, 2013Tallisker 10 yr + popcorn is a great mix. Watching Flyers v Canes makes it even better
Get to know the staff. They are great people! You might even get hooked up. But I can't tell you how. Figure it out on your own, Remember NY is a melting pot!.!.!...
Jon MoApril 2, 2014This place is off the hook. Samantha is freaking awesome sauce mixed wth siracha. If she's here I'm here.
- Nicholas HovanFebruary 4, 2012The metro boys favorite place to drink Appletinis and stick their grimey hands in their free popcorn

♛Taddy-Poo Campbell♛ツDecember 25, 2012Best PUB in New York with great people.....Who says popcorn !!!!!!
If you do become a regular the staff are extremely friendly also they take care of you!!
Shailya PathakNovember 21, 2009Fun bar! can watch all the games there and the happy hour isnt too bad either. AND, who can complain about the free popcorn?!?!
MichaelNovember 9, 2012Hmmm 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.
Andrew H.June 9, 2013It'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!
Ryan SchultzDecember 4, 2009Don't try to wear a hat of any sort at this ritzy uptown watering hole. You'll be asked to remove it post-haste for you may offend the fine class of patrons in attendance!
Tiffany BlackApril 14, 2010If you want food they have menus for every place in the area and they will deliver to the bar.
