Superb neighborhood bar for NY sports nights, lots of TVs, fantastic bar food and an amazing beer and draft selection including something from every family of ales. The raspberry cream sour on the menu was a delight.

It's what one would expect from a neighborhood sports bar. One item of note: it's on a list of Boston Celtics sports bars in NYC. It's not a Celtics bar. It is a Knicks bar ... so still great. I had a friend from Boston visiting and thought it would be fun to see Knicks v Celtics at a NYC Celtics bar. Oh well. Once again... don't believe everything you read online :-)

This is easily the best bar around Columbia and truly an UWS gem. Great trivia night on Wednesdays, too. However, this last Wednesday, the trivia host and a bartender accused my squad of cheating in trivia since we were actually doing well for once. I didn’t appreciate these accusations, nor did I appreciate the guy who complained that we were “cheating”. Yeah… this guy couldn’t handle getting outsmarted and outplayed by some seniors in college (I’m gonna guess he goes to Columbia law). Crazy to think that a group of 6 men that all watch football don’t go 9/9 on Madden covers (we only needed 8 of them). And might as well assume that we don’t listen to Biz Markie, No Doubt, or the Cure while you’re at it. Maybe assume that we won’t successfully get a question about Wrigley Field correct even though I am from Chicago, too? But I digress. I didn’t appreciate people thinking we didn’t know our stuff solely on the basis of being among the youngest in the room. Will I continue to go here? Absolutely. And will I continue to buy $30 pitchers of Bud Light for my table? Definitely, despite having a college student level of disposable income. It is a tragedy that a blemish got placed on our great performance in what will be one of my last times at lion’s head trivia night, and I can guarantee that if we were cheating (which we were not), then we would not have lost on the final question. (New York trivia league– if you don’t want people having multiple phones out, don’t put a “just watch” option on your trivia page, for that implies that team members can have their phone out to also follow along on questions). Thank you lion’s head, and I’ll see you all next Wednesday.
Edit: Not sure where the throwing up on a jacket story came from. That did NOT happen… it was 7:30pm on a Wednesday. Keep in mind, these are actual adults making up stories about a group of college guys that beat them in trivia. Pretty funny, honestly.

Tbh I just wanted to say that this is the best bar, but the Columbia seniors that came in here on Wednesday, cheated during trivia (I saw you), threw up all over my coat, and then complained in these comments they were accused of cheating…when I saw that they did…should be banned from this bar.

Great bar, great food, great service. Only issue is there were too many cheaters at trivia night! I seriously don’t understand how you could be so immature that you need to cheat at bar trivia to make yourself feel good.
I honestly feel sorry for the group that was cheating because clearly they needed to boost their self esteem. It’s ridiculous that they denied cheating after I pointed out the absurd amount of questions that they had gotten right.
From a young age my father taught me that dignity and honor are the most important things in life. When I was just 18, through hard work and dedication, I was able to gain access to my six figure trust fund. Before I left for college my father told me, “son, you’re the smartest person in the world. You’re destined to do great things in life and no one can stop you. If you EVER lose to anyone at bar trivia it must be because they cheated. There is no other possibility.” So clearly I knew that this group could not have known all those answers because I didn’t know them.
If these scumbags are ever allowed to set foot in the Lions Head again, my father will be EXTREMELY upset, and you do not want that.

Classic UWS Bar with the BEST wings, and the BEST servers and bartenders!! Excellent sports viewing as well. A++
This is the best neighborhood bar!! Made even better by bartenders like Callie and Thadeus. I always get greeted warmly and promptly; it feels like “Cheers”! Plus the wings and tots are always spot on. Good liquor selection, good for sport games… no complaints

Had so much fun attending Christmas Karaoke night! The vibes were great, the singers entertaining, and everyone I was with enjoyed their drinks! Plus the bar staff offers zero-proof beers for anyone who is sober! Shout out to Emi for hosting a fun night! For sure will return for more karaoke in the future!

Went in at 2:05, just missed the kitchen and sat down for a drink with my girlfriend
Watched as the bartender ignored us and served another couple who walked in a couple minutes after us (no one else at the bar)
After about 5 minutes of trying to catch the bartenders attention and failing we walked out, this is the third time I’ve walked out so it’ll be the last!
