Came with a group of queer guys and girls and left feeling unsafe and disrespected. A bouncer took my jacket, and his friend was literally wearing it in front of me. On top of that, the same bouncer grabbed me while I was entering the women’s bathroom. I don’t know what else to call it besides homophobic and just gross behavior. I spent the rest of the night cold. Completely ruined what should’ve been a fun night.

wouldn’t recommend the place if a women, fem, or queer.

Fun bar overall, I really enjoyed the atmosphere, especially on a Saturday night. Good for people in their early-mid 20's. My friends often frequent this bar and we always have a good time and the crowd is good too. I would recommend coming here with friends!

Some of the rudest service I’ve had in my life. Bartender was aggressive, bouncer was on a power trip, everything was just off.

Literally some of the worst vibes I’ve experienced in my 5+ years in NYC, and that’s saying a lot. The bartender was so rude to my friend celebrating her 22nd birthday. The venue was empty, and it was far from the advertised‘video game bar.’ No matter how drunk you are, avoid this place.

worth going on a weekday unless you like a space that hasn't quite committed to being able to hear people or dancing. word to the wise, the skiball is $6 and best to be avoided

No frills authentic NYC bar with beer pong and a jukebox. Plus Brian holds it down at the bar and is super-friendly, hard to find in NYC! Go with confidence.

Great bar with all the elements for a fun time. A little bit of a polished dive bar (the dive bar feel with dim lighting, leather booths, and pool but no graffiti). They have a nice selection of games: pool, skee ball, and darts. The darts are free but pool and skee ball are not. They made a decent Moscow mule. Cane here on a Wednesday night and it was moderately busy. Perfect for a lowkey night on the town.

Really poor service. Was not willing to compromise on quality of drinks so we had to leave.
