Great bar spot. Less fancy than most of nyc bars. Nice to chill.

TVs had sports. Nice seating area up top and basement beer pong. Win win win

Been visiting Snafu for about 15 years now. I always have a good time. It’s upbeat, good music and sports on the screen.. HOWEVER! The brasilian bartender continuously tried to over charge me a couple times by adding 2 more drinks on each cash round. I was with 3 other friends and whether I ordered 2 drinks she would charge me for 4. She actually got away with it 2X but the 3rd time i had to call her out on it. She immediately without hesitation adjusted the amount. It’s a shame because I paid cash for each round and tipped her in average of 20-25% per round.
So just be aware when you are having a good time with friends “the bartenders will add drinks to your total” especially if they are aware you are with friends.. they use this as an advantage to place unordered drinks from “your friend” on your total bill.

One of our friends had heartily enjoyed themselves here previously and highly recommended we go here. We were a party of perhaps 30, all college alums and we figured there’s be no better place to hang out than a college type bar. There are couches, beer pong, popcorn, a great vibe. One of us bought 30 shots to start and it was looking to be a great night. However, the staff started coming up to one of our tables within 20 minutes and telling us that we weren’t drinking enough and we were taking up all the space, that we either had to move, buy more, or leave. We were told we were taking too many of the tables. There were several empty tables and couches when were told this. Further, she only told this to one of our party’s tables, and it was the table with all the POC’s. She never addressed the other table in our party. A quick search of the one start reviews shows a similar racist experience. Like a true frat you get pressured to drink and it’s not a place for POC’s. Don’t recommend. We went to “Other Half” and “Perfect Pint” that night instead. We all hadn’t seen each other for years and this is how our night went. Thanks for the great memories Snafu.

I had an amazing time at Snafu Bar! The atmosphere was electric, and I felt like I was at a family party, surrounded by great people. We were dancing at the bar with others, and the energy was contagious. The staff was friendly, and everyone was just there to have a great time. It was one of those nights where you leave feeling so happy and fulfilled. Can’t wait to go back! The drinks and popcorn were great.

I loved this place which reminded me of some small bars in the market halls of Paris in the trendy 80s. It's true, it's quite noisy inside but the terrace is so pleasant with the little evening breeze and the incredible sunset at the end of the street. Very good memory with the staff and very friendly people. I will not forget this good address. ? ?

So happy to see that this place is still open after so many years. This is the best casual bar on the block. There’s a downstairs too, so you don’t get bored of the scene.

Great drinks, deals, some arcade games too. Highly recommend for a quick stop spot for drinks or a casual outing with friends, especially visitors and tourists.

A very cool local bar in NY, with normal prices.
You can play beer bong in the basement.
