Have had an amazing time being a long time regular here. Love the bartenders especially that absolute cutie that has a day dedicated to her MK Mondays. I hope all come and see her that day she’ll brighten anybody’s mood. Beers are great, Mario kart and puppies as well every now and then. Can’t wait to come back more and more. Shout out MaryKate

Chance brought me to this place and I will forever be grateful that I found it! After two trips I’ve had unforgettable memories, met the loveliest people and never felt so at home so fast. The selection of beers can satisfy the loftiest of beer snobs. In addition to being a solid bar, they’re a resource to their community. It’s why I love the LES and reminds me why I love NYC. Lifetime patron!!

Great selection of beers! The bartender was super friendly and really knew their stuff — they even offered me a taste to see if I’d like the beer before ordering. The atmosphere is awesome, and I’ll definitely be back to try more of their beers!

We were excited to go in for drinks but then the bartender was very rude wouldn’t let me in unless I took off my Batsu headband. Very discriminatory…. Smh

A neighborhood institution since the 1990s, this no-frills adults-only bar attracts an array of local characters and young bar hoppers alike.
Craft brews on tap - you won't find big brand beers here. Fun drinks specials, trivia, and a pro-dog atmosphere gives d.b.a. a unique vibe all its own.

Willie is an absolute gentlemen and one of the best natural bar tenders I’ve come across here in the States, Europe,Asia and Aus/NZ. Fantastic selection of beers/ales/scotch/irish/bourbon etc. Brilliant chilled and friendly atmosphere. My new local here in Manhattan. Thank you Willie for making the last day of our honeymoon a very happy and memorable one. I’ll be back!

Beers are good but watch your bill. Bartender overcharged, and tried taking advantage of at least 2 other patrons and then me.
I called him out on it and asked for an itemized bill, but he yelled and demanded more tip, yet I tipped $2.00 per drink for beers.
You ain't a cocktail bartender bud, you just slinging beer bottles. $2.00 per beer ($12 tip) is more than you deserve. Stop ripping off patrons with your bills too.
I won't be back.

What a wonderful place! Good, strong drinks, great bartender, excellent vibe. The bouncer was especially Dilligent, fair and kind. But do make sure you bring a physical photo ID!

Ive always enjoyed this bar as a casual hangout to chat with friends. And we’ve always enjoyed the staff. But recently the manager — or maybe it was the bar tender, kind of a big guy with mustache— got weirdly hostile over the most minor issue. My friend had complained that the bar back had taken his drink (had 1/4th left) while scooping up a couple other empties. Simple mistake, and my friend just went to fetch the drink back. Wasn’t hostile to the bar back at all. The mustachioed dude came out of nowhere in a full rage and told him he had to leave. It was an incredible 0 to 60 over-reaction. For my part, I had said literally nothing and wasn’t involved in any way — I was 30 feet away back at our corner table— and he threw us both out.
We are two pretty mild mannered older 50s men, who sat quietly talking in the corner for a couple hours — not loiterers, we bought 2 or three rounds of beer — not making any commotion at all. I’ve never been kicked out of any establishment ever! Maybe just an off night, but not a cool way to treat a customer who politely brought up a small complaint.

It gets crowded, but the crowd is awesome. It's like a friendly little hidey-hole full of nerds, freaks, geeks, and all manner of amazing and intelligent folk. The staff are insanely cool and knowledgeable and really know how to run a great place.
