30 Best Dive Bars near Jamaica

“"Jimmy's Dart Inn" and I think Jimmy was the old guy there at the end of the bar. We (wife & I) stopped in at noon is. We were swept up in a time machine and arrived here. Décor could use an update. Bar stools were all swivel and every one of the many we tried was wobbly. Bartender made a crummy vodka sour for my wife, but then she thinks every one makes crappy vodka sours. A bit of a dive, we like it. Also, TWO dart boards (The Dart Inn, get it?)“

“Friendly staff and bartender. Good drink selection. I don’t even like bars or drinking but this place was cozy. The food was surprisingly really good given that it’s a bar. I got the burger which was juicy and the fries were crispy and hot; chicken bacon sandwich which was amazing. They also did a bingo night which was fun.“

“Un buen lugar para tomarse unos tragos y disfrutar, un ambiente tranquilo , excelente atención“

“great ambiance, lots of different beers. highly recommend.“

“A lovely tavern with jovial staff and delightful libations. The handsome and sweet bartender with interesting hair masterfully guided my wife and I through the extensive drink menu and delivered me to a few tasty cocktails. Cool and quirky atmosphere. I love this bar.“

“Lovely staff and great atmosphere“

“great place to have some good company.“

“If I can remember, I always come here every friday night. Which is karaoke night. So, my review will be based on that specific night only.

Been there few times on friday night. Very busy night, very long line of karaoke, but the DJ did a veryyy good job. He remembers people's faces, like literally remember who requested what. His great memory amazed me and not to mention there is no pause or break. So, eventho its a long line of karaoke, but you will eventually singing.

Bartenders are great, drinks okay. Prices normal for the area, drink sometimes good, sometimes meh.

But yea, so far its been pretty amazing experience.“

“I go here every chance I can. The drinks are great. The food is delicious! The environment is fantastic and there's usually an adorable dog somewhere(sometimes that dog is the one I bring with me 😜). If you're in the area and in the mood for a cocktail and some delicious food then I highly recommend coming here“

“Very nice staff inside, drinks were good. I am down for a pat down and appreciate safety, but I arrived at at 8pm and during the very lengthy and thorough pat down the bouncer kept asking if I'd been bar hopping and that if I'm intoxicated I can't go in...which also fair, but I'm in my forties, it was 8pm, and I was entirely sober. Respect taking a job serious, but I felt oddly unwelcome and it set a tone for us that the kind inside staff didn't quite undo. I would be hesitant to bring a guest here again.“

“I really like this bar. It's divey, lowkey, got the best bartenders, and always has incredible music. Drinks are a great price and the back patio is huge. It's lined with booths inside and I love that there's a photo booth. Always a good time here.“

“Great local joint Recommend if you want to do shots and watch the game“

“Great local "dive" bar lol. Good atmosphere, pool table, dart board, jukebox, TVs, bar area and tables. Nicole was a great bartender. Not over crowded, but enough people there that y has some life. We don't go out that often anymore, but it's good to have a local watering hole in the neighborhood when we do.“

“Go-to neighborhood spot that stays until relatively late.
6 stars for service and specifically Paolo- always polite, smiling and great service
-2 stars for the bouncers: poor attitude, rude with the illusion that they have authority. It would be great if they can get real; ID reading barely makes them different that the rest of us - haha
5 stars for the beer: great draft and bottled variety
5 stars for the music!

Overall 4 stars, just because the bouncers kill the vibe.“

“Had a great time hanging at 101 for the 7 year anniversary. The skate videos were top tier, the bevvies were flowing, and the dj was killing it all night from a range of old school to current music playing all night until the party got too big and we all had to leave!“

“Definitely a fun bar to hang out in and the staff was very personable. The drinks were decently priced and there were plenty of places to sit and space out between groups. The only drawback is the overly loud music at some points which can make conversation difficult.“

“Great dive bar with a pool table and 2 dart boards and great music

Wheelchair accessibility: You can wheel right in don’t have to worry about any stairs the bathroom is tight might struggle a little but overall the place has plenty of room to move around“

“I’ve been there several times over the years and I’ve always have had good experiences. It’s got a mild dive bar vibe. They have good beer and drinks. The bartenders that have served me there have been polite and attentive. I only go there once every couple of months or so, but I’m not a regular. The bar isn’t sleek or beautiful. Lone Wolf is just a really good bar.“

“O'hanlons pub is a feel good neighborhood bar that has felt like home and given me many warm memories.“

“The best dive bar in Sunny side hands down !!, they treat you like family and the locals are fun to interact with . .. ahh they also have a lovely back yard and POOL table …🤟🏻“

“The lost art of the neighborhood bar. A NYC institution. Great juke box, proper pool table, cash only. Everyone knows everyone. Under the LIRR, so Mets games are 10 minutes out. This is the perfect local, and you'll probably find me here if you wander in.“

“Love BHT:)...and the best corned beef and cabbage ever...“

“A great, cozy neighborhood bar. No frills, no food but they let you take in outside food and there's no shortage of options nearby. Usually a mix of folks of varied ages. I've gone in several times over the years and there are always nice staff working behind the bar. A handy spot to stop in for a pint when you get off the train at Roosevelt Ave and nature calls 😂“

“I love this place! Everyone is super friendly and they have a huge vegan menu which is AMAZING. I was there tonight and these two guys came in to try and get the bartenders attention but she was busy with a customer, they were super rude but she kept her composure and was still kind to them regardless. Top tier. Will come back forever 💕“

“We found Kelly’s with a tip from Sonja’s brother. Totally enjoyed the “Kelly’s scene for the next few years . Drank with the finest people NY has to offer. Memories of Stella flood my mind. God rest her soul. Shout out to Grover, Vivian Jimmy Jam, my girl friend Mary. We all miss Rita. Chris a Steve, yall need to call us. Mahlon & Karen.“

“This is a nice place for night out with friends.The drinks are cool.The price is reasonable.If you feel like to play Billiards,it’s great.The shop is neither wide nor narrow.One more thing is that if we wanna have a conversation,we can choose it.Love it.“

“Great atmosphere and people“

“Cute lil tiki bar! Try the spicy 🌶 mango 🥭 or the gay juice cocktail🥤!!! There is awesome choonz bumpin as well !!“

“At This Point, I Guess You Can Say I Am A Regular At The Establishment. I Began Going To Cheap Shots Last Year. First Time I Went Was For My Birthday. My Birthday Is February 25th, But I Went On The 24th. And I Thoroughly Enjoyed Myself. Lets Just Say I've Been Frequenting There Ever Since, And I Even Spent My Birthday There Again This Year. They Have Great Food Options, Esthetically Pleasing Decor, Its A Spacious Venue With Ample Seating, A Pool Table, A Backyard With Seating, A Jukebox But They Also Have A DJ On Some Nights. Each Day Of The Week Is Themed And They Offer Special Depending On The Theme. Very Friendly And Amazing Staff That Makes You Feel Like You Are Supposed To Be There. Oh And Most Importantly They Make Some Amazing Drinks!! The Make Standard Drinks But They Also Have A Menu Full On Wittingly Named Shots Bombs And Drinks That You Can Choose From.“
