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

I came here while visiting New York. It’s like any other dive at first glance, but what sets Ace apart is the kindness of the staff. The bartenders and bouncers go the extra mile here to make you feel welcomed and taken care of. I’ll be recommending Ace to all my friends.

This bouncer had the ABSOLUTE WORST ENTITLEMENT I HAVE EVER SEEN! First told me if I left, I could never come back. No reason for this at all. Then called me “rainbow shirt.” He must have felt some sort of way about that(?) THEN I was told to keep walking after I had already left the establishment. Like he was going to beat me up ON THE SIDEWALK for just being there?!?! I really don’t understand this attitude towards people in general. I am a Bartender myself and this is completely unacceptable and uncalled for. PERIOD!

As the bouncer kicks out the single women and leaves the people he knows inside with favoritism. I only recommend this place with Caution. The bouncer has an entitled attitude that warrants him nothing. He allows people to stay in the bar as an act of preference “within the industry” and risks the visitors safety by kicking them out side while others are yet still able to sit that finishing their own alcohol beverages. That’s not the way to keep it. He told me “you came outside, you go outside.” That is not how you treat a human being. Everyone deserves safety especially if already called an uber and waiting on it to arrive. Not cool. The bartender was pleasant at the very least as why there are 3 stars, opposed to 1 star.

Fun vibe with friendly staff; locks on bathroom stalls were broken in women’s restrooms + $20 minimum on cards

Men’s restroom is single use but does not have a lock. The bartenders appear to be aware of this fact. When asked about the danger this poses to a (hypothetical) toilet user, they questioned why the (again, purely hypothetical) toilet user did not relieve himself prior to arriving at the bar.
5 stars. Drinks were well priced though not the strongest

Ace Bar is the kind of spot locals hope stays off the radar — but here I am. Tucked away in Alphabet City- East Village, it’s perfect for big groups hangs!!! They have it all: pool tables, dart boards, pinball, and skee-ball, plus a cute claw machine and photo booth!!
And great Happy Hour Deals!!

Ace bar is always fantastic. Fun at night, but also a very fun and difference scene during daytime / happy Hour. Nice spot and you’re right in the east village. Darts and other bar games like skiball and pool. A few various experience areas.

Nice spot! Played some darts there and the board was fresh.
Cool venue, but unnecessarily aggressive and straight up mean bouncers who scavenged the entire bar in rounds last night just LOOKING for confrontation. Absolute power trip. Consider better who you employ.

I’ve never encountered such unprofessional behavior from both the security guard and manager at this establishment. The security guard was rude and made comments that felt discriminatory, which was both shocking and disappointing. When I asked to speak with the manager to address the issue, he did not make any effort to resolve the situation. Instead, he ignored my concerns and sided with the security guard without even attempting to hear my perspective.
This experience left me feeling disrespected and unheard. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and addresses these issues with their staff to ensure better treatment for all customers.
