A classic nyc dive bar, good basic drinks and many draft beers. There is a nice pool table and a large back yard with a boccie court! No food tho they will sell various potatoe chip bags.

Walked in with a friend for drinks. Stood at the bar for 5 minutes while the bartender talked to her friends ignoring us, without even a nod of acknowledgement. No service. It was early on a Friday night. Not even busy. I just donât get it. We would have spent money⊠Whatever, donât come here.

DO NOT GO HERE. we had an extremely frightening experience here. As soon as we walked in we witnessed the owner behind the bar screaming and harassing his bartender (who was beyond friendly to us and had amazing service). Every patron in the bar was worried for her and the owner continued his manic behavior and was screaming how he was the drunkest one in the bar. I donât recommend supporting this owner or his behavior and treatment of his staff.

Disappointing Experience Due to Extremely Unprofessional Ownership!
(White male, balding, mid 50/60's with glasses and was legless drunk - I was told he was the owner or a part-owner)
From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt tense. The owner was loudly arguing with a staff member behind the bar, right in front of customers, making everyone look around uncomfortably. Throughout the night, he continued waving around a huge knife while seemingly cutting the same lime for 30 minutes, interrupting conversations, and even snapping at patrons who politely asked about drink delays. At one point, he looked like he was going to attack the young lady employee who was bartending and then proceeded to accost patrons who told him to stop. It was really a poor experience and I have a pretty high tolerance for bar BS.
The young lady clearly seemed stressed, which probably explains why the service felt disorganized. Our drinks took over 20 minutes, and when they arrived, the server apologized, saying they were âdoing the best they could.â I genuinely felt incredibly bad for her. Our night ended at Less Dead when the only other Staff Member behind the bar walked out and our party of 15/20 people followed her shortly after. My friends and I choose to spend our money elsewhere that evening. I sincerely hope the other people involved in this bar see this review. I encourage you to check my profile. I am not someone who just leaves scathing reviews.
Itâs a shame, because the place itself isnât the problemâthe leadership is. A bar is only as good as the environment it creates, and with an owner acting this unprofessionally, itâs hard to enjoy the experience. That young lady should receive a raise and a massive apology from other owners. That guy is a ticking time bomb.
I hope things improve for the staff and the business, but I wonât be returning unless the management makes some changes to themselves!

This was one of the most hospitable bars I've ever been to. Summer the bartender was so sweet and accommodating. We had a great time and will definitely be back because of the very welcoming atmosphere. This is a great neighborhood bar of you live close by give it a shot.

Beer was good. But poor service and discriminatory vibes. Don't go there if you are Hispanic it might take a half hour just to serve you. Sad because they are in a Hispanic neighborhood.
Surprisingly nice vibe! It wasnât my intention to stop by here. It was around 2:30am with my friends and the original place we wanted to go to party were charging too much at the door. We didnât think it was worth it. So we passed by this spot for a drink and the atmosphere was really cool, chill, and friendly. It was surprisingly busy at the time and we stayed until closing (4am) they have nice games in the back, strangers were friendly, love the neighborhood. Overall a calm vibe for a random Friday night

The Less Dead Bar has free pool all year, a big backyard with bocce, and itâs affordable with great beer and shot specials. Always a good time! Ask for Austinâheâs the best yet on their roster!

Came in because I was in a tough time in my life, could use a round or two, and was walking by... since then, this place has absolutely ruined my entire life (for the better). so much friendly vibes. so many amazing people. perfect staff. free pool table (pool nerd) cheap drinks. vibes! I was hoping I'd never find a place to want to be, but now I'm stuck!

Dive bar. Got a pool table and a pinball machine. Real good prices. Labatt Blue on tap. Bocce ball court and cornhole in the back yard area. Service was great.

Disappointing Experience Due to Extremely Unprofessional Ownership!
I rarely leave negative reviews, but my visit to The Less Dead left me genuinely frustrated and frightened for an employee. The bar itself was awesomeâinteresting dĂ©cor, great drink prices, and a cozy layoutâbut the experience was overshadowed by the ownerâs extremely unprofessional behavior. He was in no position to be serving customers let alone screaming at them with his large serrated bar knife.
