Denied entry despite having an Australian license and 32yo. Security said I need an “ID” not sure what qualifies?
Home to the worst bartender in NY. You know the one: Long Hair, Thousand Yard Stare. My friends and I have been patrons of Skinny Dennis & Horses and Divorces for over 7 years, but that era must now come to an end because of this miserable miserable man. Here’s a quick laundry list of his infractions over the years:
- charged me for drinks I never ordered
- overcharged me for drinks I did order
- smoked a cigarette outside H&D at peak hour for a good ten minutes, leaving the bar un attended as dozens of patrons waited to be served
- typed away on his phone for 3 minutes as I stood there waiting for a drink
Each time I go, I give this man a clean slate and he continues to impress me at how terrible and hostile he is at his job. I see him bark at other unsuspecting customers every time I’m here. I feel like he needs a hug.
Here’s the thing. I love this bar when anyone besides him is working. The rest of the crew are stellar, so if you guys could just tell me which days this zombie works, I’ll remain a patron and show up the other days

I’ve been there a Monday night, a very cool country band was performing !

I honestly wanted to love this place. Inside, everything was awesome — the bartender was super friendly, the drinks were amazing (highly recommend the frozen coffee one!), the band was great, and the vibe was really fun and lively.
But the night started off on a really sour note because of the bouncer. Instead of being welcoming, he was rude and condescending. I misheard him, and instead of just clarifying, he decided to shame me and even tried to “teach me how to interact with people.” Not exactly the kind of greeting you want when you’re walking into a bar to have a good time.
Thankfully, the bartender and band turned things around and kept the night from being completely ruined. But honestly, the first person you meet at the door shouldn’t make you feel unwelcome. If it weren’t for how great the staff inside were, I probably would’ve left right away.

The worst dive bar in the area, has the rudest and most unwelcoming bartenders, who lack common sense and a sense of
hospitality. Basically a trash fest. <3 just dont go there, og’s know

When I saw Michelle at the bar, I immediately felt at home. Not only has she never met a stranger, but I told her if she didn’t officiate my wedding- I’d end it. She accommodated on a dime, and by god my first child- daughter or son- MICHELLE. Go here if you’d like to transcend into eternity. Thank you Michelle.

I don't recommend it! The staff are not friendly. A place to be avoided! They charge for toilets, even when you're a customer! Shocked

Always a great time here. The prices are reasonable, the live music adds a fun vibe, and the frozen coffee is a staple that never disappoints. Mixed crowd of all ages. Definitely a go-to spot.

It’s crowded but I love this place and the bartenders!
Well this is a Williamsburg area surprise. I'll call it the country bar in Brooklyn. A great relaxed vibe during the day and a festive vibe at night often with live music. Great spot to hang and recalibrate that city intensity and grab a beer and warm peanuts. Pricing was average and service was great. Inside and outside seating available with a fun southwestern interior. Get on over there and give em a yeehaw.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A True Time Machine Honky-Tonk Experience
Walking into this dive bar feels like stepping straight into the late ’80s or early ‘90s — and I mean that in the best possible way. It’s not trying to be nostalgic; it is nostalgic. From the worn leather stools to the soft neon glow bouncing off antique beer signs, everything here tells a story.
The jukebox is pure gold — loaded with classic country tracks that’ll have you toe-tapping from the moment you walk in. Think George Strait, Reba, Randy Travis, maybe a little Garth for good measure. And if you’re lucky, someone will pick just the right song that turns the whole bar into a singalong.
There’s a shuffleboard table that’s seen some serious history — a little crooked in just the right places, and surrounded by good-natured trash talk and laughter. It’s the kind of place where strangers become drinking buddies over one game.
Drinks are cheap, cold, and poured with a heavy hand. No frills, just the way a good dive should be. The bartenders are friendly but no-nonsense — they’ve seen it all and still manage to serve it with a wink and a smile.
If you’re looking for a polished, Instagrammable night out, this isn’t it. But if you’re after a genuine, boots-on-the-floor, beer-in-hand country night that feels like it’s been preserved in time — this bar is your new favorite haunt. I’ll be back there tonight!
