Such a fun bar! Came here to celebrate my brother in law’s bday and we had a great time! Solid prices, friendly and attentive bartenders, and the vibes are great. It doesn’t get uncomfortably packed like other bars in the city do so this place is great for groups or for a date night. Made the trek from Yonkers and it was totally worth it! Hope to come back soon, highly, highly recommend this place!!

We have been here twice while on our trip…and plan to go again. It’s a local haunt, with the occasional out of towners like us. The place has a great vibe totally living up to its name and reminds us of pubs in Ireland a and the UK. Jowi (Yes he spells it this way) handles the Happy Hour with a good natured dry wit, balancing orders and banter without a hitch. It’s quite an interactive show to watch. He greeted us by name on the second visit, asking how our day went, making us feel like locals 👍👍. They weren’t serving food when we were there but let you bring in take out from elsewhere. The prices are good as well, and not just by New York standards. If you are in the area, Do Dive right in!

Very dog friendly. Nice selection of draft beer. Very nice amount of kitsch decor.

Low-key down to earth spot. Reasonably priced, friendly service and open late. A go-to spot in the ♥️ BROOKLYN. Drinks 🍷 hit.

My new favorite bar.... I wish I lived in NY! Our team was working in the park and this place was halfway home. They don't care what you wear and aren't weird about backpacks (we had tools and laptops to take home). Drinks are inexpensive, they have twisted tea (a colleague was searching everywhere for it), a decent wine selection and plenty of standard cocktails and beer. Love love love the decor! Dollar bills on the ceiling, poetry on the tables, skulls in the floor and vintage neon everywhere! It's like a hipster Cheers, but I'm a good way. Definitely have recommended it to my friends passing though and hope to be back soon!

It’s my go to bar. The vibes are always GREAT. Just get a beer and chill in the backyard with your friends. You can also carry 1 dollar bills to play songs using the jukebox. Expect only what you expect from a dive bar.

This is one of those classic dive bars you love to find, exuding history and kitsch and vintage flourishes mixed with a kind crowd of regulars. The bartender who served us was chummy and garrulous, with an eye on his known clients who came ready to chat about life, sports, and the like. The cool Wisconsin Pilsner on tap was refreshing and potent, and we washed it down at a corner table surrounded by old antique glass, lights, and beer signs popping off the dark walls with a neon glaze. In every corner your eye wanders you find a spark of outsider art or conversation piece. We spied an outdoor back patio that called out for warmer moods. The brew was priced for sessions. Stop by.

I'm a 55 year old global dive bar affectionato … The staff here goes above and beyond for the level of dive bar that you expect; everyone was so kind and welcoming. The bar back helped me find my way to the bathrooms with which are rightfully hidden behind graffiti. The bartender Daisy knew it was my first time and was very accommodating and helped me get a seat and make sure my drink never got empty. This is a high-end bar with a dive bar vibe. These people are professionals and they will take care of you. You get your moneys worth here. 5/5 would repeat. The only negative thing I have to say about this bar is that you have to go downstairs to take a piss lol
