Just as good and rustic as the nearby Rudy’s. A perfect cozy dive bar 10/10 will be back to see some live music!

Decent beer pours. Food is less than great, but the service leaves a lot to be desired. Staff isn't good at coordinating with the kitchen

Pretty banging spot next to the tunnel. Kinda a troop for most but worth the journey. Live music, artsy crowd. Very hospitable and welcoming.

Great little bar. Drinks and food were good, not great but the atmosphere is wonderful. The performances on stage next door are what make the place worth the visit.

Unfortunately we found ourselves in front of a closed door on New Year's Eve, even though I wanted to make a reservation by email in August and asked twice in December that we wanted to dine there for New Year's Eve. We arrived around 2030 and the door was locked. On the cold rainy New Years Eve. Very disappointing

Cool little diver bar in Red Hook that’s good for impromptu social gatherings and live music.

Fab local with great vibe and jambalaya. Too jet-lagged to spend the whole evening soaking up the atmosphere, but deffo on list for visiting again next time I’m in town 🤩

My girlfriend and I were wandering around the neighborhood and were sucked into this twinkling ruby of a place. The music they played the whole time was great, mostly talking heads. Mets game on in the corner, cold rolling rock in my hand and good conversation with long time locals. What more can you ask for in a pub? I recommend ponying up to the bar and saying hello.

If you are a regular here, you know it's power. You just might find an interesting person here whilst seeking enlightenment through excess and the bar food will keep you going happily.

The burger was thick and juicy and came with the best fries I’ve had in a while. My daughter had the veggie empanada- listed as an appetizer but a very generous size so more of a meal. It comes covered with cheese so if you’re vegan you’ll need to ask to have it left off. The food was average priced for NYC ($12-18), good prices on drinks (about $18 for a vodka cranberry and two shirley temples). We had come to catch the music at the Jalopy Theatre next door after an earlier concert elsewhere so we were grateful the kitchen stayed open until 10:45. We enjoyed the band that was playing and the crowd was friendly. It was a bit challenging to get the attention of the bartenders, but thats to be expected on a busy Friday night and the service was good. Well worth the hike from uptown

Vegetarian options: There was a vegetarian special as well as 2-3 entrees plus a variety of dinner salad options

I love Jalopy Tavern. Way off the beaten path but totally worth coming. Jalopy Theatre and School are incredible as well and have amazing events catered around folk, bluegrass and world music with really unique performances.
The tavern has free live incredible music that one should or could pay a lot of money to see based on the sheer talent. It's always a fun mix of people and love the dim lighting, reasonably priced drinks, quirky and helpful bartenders, and just a truly amazing place all around. Bravo! Wish I lived closer, if I did, I'd for sure be a regular!
