Lucky never disappoints! Cold beers, stiff drinks, and the most laid-back staff in the city. It's the ultimate place to kick off a night out or wind one down. Street parking around here is basically impossible, so definitely take the train or bus, but once you're inside, you won't want to leave. Can't recommend this legendary spot enough!

Great bar for a party and easy hang. Laid back. Local EV all the way.

Best dive bar. Writing a review here to counteract the whackadoodles that leave 1 star reviews because they think they're entitled to take up space without having a drink...at a bar....

But in all seriousness, this is one of the real gems of NYC. Pop in for a drink on a nice afternoon. Cheap drinks, chill staff, good times.
