One of my favorite places in all of NYC to have a beer. Can't beat the atmosphere and the history!

Amazing service that makes you feel truly welcome. The employees deliver flawless experiences. This place impresses with good meals, fair costs and helpful service. I'd heard rumors about Ear Inn being great and they were right. The uniqueness of this restaurant is striking.

Come for the history, NOT the bar service!
Colin the bartender was by far the rudest server I have ever come across. We walked in, not seeing the chalkboard with the beer listings, so we asked if they had two particular beers (which they didn’t have). Colin proceeded to talk to a patron seated right in front of us and said with attitude, “What’s going on with people today? Are they giving out psychedelic drugs before they walk in here?” He then told us to look at the chalkboard. Needless to say, we left soon thereafter.

It’s like your local pub, except it’s downtown.

Historic, charming, great service, good drinks! Why wouldn't you want to go to the Ear Inn!!
Reviewers mention that this place feels like the old New York City. I wasn't around in those days, but stopping through Manhattan I rolled around Hudson Square for a bite to eat and a cold beer and this place spoke to me. This is a very historically-significant bar; I recommend reading about it. The area is very quiet for Manhattan, and this space offers a cozy bar with food options and plenty of outdoor seating.
Late at night, the entrance is suffused with the glow of a red neon sign and it sets a great mood.
The beer selection is quite good; they have some popular favorites as well as some local beers. I recommend grabbing a pint and moving to sit outside if you're like me and didn't order any food. Bartenders and staff are friendly, and many of the patrons seemed to be regulars.

Good food, very good drinks, wonderful casual atmosphere. It is loud and small but very casual and unpretentious. I'll be back for drinks.

The best place for a cocktail and conversation! Jazz on Sundays. And when you don't want to cook you can get a perfect no fuss meal. A neighborhood staple. We sit outside all the time. The best!
