Turtles all the way down

All the good reviews here are from YEARS ago. This bar is disrespectful not only to the people who goes there, but the neighbors who live in the area. The security is overreaching their power and act like they’re working for TSA. They love to harass people coming in but refuse to address the endless motorcycle engine that’s in front of the bar (which you can hear from 3-4 blocks away!!)

A dive bar in Brooklyn! Loved the vibes and drinks !

The frozen coffee machine needs to always be working

Bartenders are rude, especially Daisy
Other than that the bar is a gem

Amazing place. Great vibes. Got a backyard. Just an awesome hang for like any situation

So much fun

I feel the once good vibes going out the door with these price increases

The doorman was friendly and kept my knife for me while I was there. Staff was busy as hell but still friendly and attentive. Vibe was pretty chill. My wife stayed longer than I did and lost her CC's and ID but that's not the bar's fault. Will say I felt kind of bad for the turtles because the loud music would stress them out a bit.

the vibe here has changed a lot. it’s not safe. multiple instances of violence and now security is checking bags/pockets. you shouldn’t need a metal detector at a dive bar. i hope things change soon.

Pretty chill dive bar. Came after work (nite shift) and it was pretty calm. Turtles were cute too, unsure if this is related to the John Green book but I thought the bar name was cute

This place is dangerous. Do not go here. Recent violence has been ignored. Does not prioritize the safety of its patrons.

Haven’t been back in years and that white guy with the glasses, the beard, and the hat is still working there. He’s always so professional and kind even when the bar is packed to the gills. I’m really reviewing for him, it’s nice to see a familiar face, and to see that the bastards haven’t ground him down yet.

Also drinks are still cheap and the vibe still sleazy 🤘 They didn’t have security guards back in my day, just a bouncer, but it’s for the best now, there used to be quite a few creeps (just part of the experience imo) and I got none of that energy this time.

I liked that the turtle tank was by the bathroom line, made being in the way of the flow of traffic more tolerable. This is a proper dive, be warned or be psyched.
