Ordered dinners through seamless (we’ve ordered here before) and they just didn’t send one of the meals. Huh? Ohhh you saw it on the ticket, and your sorry it didn’t get sent? Isn’t your one job and reason for existence serving food and drinks? What part of getting orders right don’t you get? You had one job and you failed.

The food is awful. We had an appetizer sampler and everything looked and tasted the same--greasy, deep-fried, and tasteless. The potato skins were the same. The place also has an eerily quiet vibe. It was a Monday night, but still, it felt "closed." Not fun.

Please know that those under 21 are not allowed in. The woman who helped us (who also told us she wants to "quit everyday") said "it's a bar that serves food, not a restaurant". Totally fine, but I wish they posted that on the website OR someone had told us when we made our reservation so we weren't out of luck on a busy afternoon looking for somewhere else to eat.

A old fashioned bar in a area overrun with others trying to be trendy. Stop in for a pint.

Local here. This is a great spot to grab a quick bite to eat and drink. Prices are great for the area. Keep your expectations in line for a bar like this and you will leave happy, and likely meet some nice people.

This is an old school haunt for me. I was happy to see, returning 10 years later, that not much has changed. The bar is still well maintained, but the charm from the early 2000s 8s still there. The only significant change that I saw was that pool table area in the basement is now a stage. Still, it was nice place to hang out for a little while on a Saturday afternoon and talk to the friendly bartender.

July 16/2023. 10:01pm: a tall man with tattoos asked us for our ID with a bad attitude and service, he was also aggressive with his words, I understand why this place is empty and without customers. I do not recommend this place. terrible customer service.

The doorman just a complete joke and l***** That’s all. Imagine someone check you ID and question your actual height with 0.07 feet difference . (My actual height is 6.08 feet, and he questioned I looks like 6.01 feet) I thought he was joking but he was not. And said my ID was a fake one. I don’t really want to leave a bad review under Cafe Bohemia as I’m a Jazz fun and it’s closing permanently. As this bar having the same doorman and same owner, I’ll just leave here for future reference.ATTENTION: Just check their bad reviews, it appears for reasons!!! 7 out of 10 of them are complaining the doorman. I just don’t know why they still hiring this such a L*****

The good is that the beer is rather inexpensive and the people that work here are friendly. The OK is that the way the interior is situated is that even on a sunny day the interior is too dark. I understand setting a mood, but IMHO this one is much too dim.

80% of the time I ADORE BSAH! Some of the bartenders are just wonderful, solid humans. I always go earlier in the week when it's not a shitshow, the crowd is lovely. Came tonight, went downstairs for jazz just for 5 minutes, we were told (and paid) $20/person cover (former musician, I get it!) but 4 drunk white guys came in behind us, weren't asked to pay a dime, and I feel like a complete idiot for paying--we were only there for 5 minutes, maybe 6, tops. $20/person. I'm a social worker, not on wall street, so that hurt. Never been charged before that either... Oof. There has got to be a better system... Not sure if it was an off night or a newer thing or what.. Cmon guys ??
Literally the only redeeming part was the quality of the jazz musicians downstairs. I was standing outside and there was a bouncer for both the Ale House and Cafe Bohemia, so I asked him if he was the bouncer for the jazz show, and he mocked me and threw my ID back at me. A girl came out right after me saying she was just waiting for her friend outside and he mocked her too, rolled his eyes and threw his hands up in the air at us. I get that the job is annoying sometimes, but get a grip dude. Downstairs, the waitress was also annoyed, I got one drink and didn't see her again for two hours. Left $40 on the table and got the hell out of there.

Not true... No weekend happy hour . Open at noon... Still awesome though ?

Fun bar that is a great place to go watch a game. There are lots of TVs and the seating set up makes it easy to feel like you have your own space while still part of the crowd. There is a large selection of beer and spirits. The food is typical pub grub, but the only culinary standout to be is their buffalo sauce which goes well with wings, tots, on the nachos, or fries.

Great place if you like good, drinks, and a jukebox. Who doesn't! Their burger is very put together very well, as is the ambiance.

Just an honest warning and a lesson in up selling. The friendly bartender advised "they ran out of fries" but forgot the part about my replacing them with tots or onion rings was a $2 up charge. That meant my $80 bill for four, included $8 extra plus a credit card fee or 25% of the total. I didn't complain, simply ate it as if I was a tourist. Sad
