At first we had a lovely experience coming for trivia where the man running the bar went out of his way to make room for us and make us feel welcomed. However, the waitress came to take our drink order and we all ordered sodas as we are all sober. She rudely yelled "it's a 2 drink minimum" to which my friend said, "okay is that only for alcoholic drinks or do our sodas count" to which she YELLED rudely "I mean no but because we're not busy I guess that's okay,". We would've kindly left if we were not following their drink rules.
She then asked for a card and my friend while grabbing her card asked why it was needed to which she YELLED AGAIN "YOURE SODAS ARENT FREE" and we were like yes we are aware we have to pay for the sodas? and she yelled at us again some other nonsense. We revoked our order and left because we were all like damn this girl just ruined our day and made us so uncomfortable. We were sad to leave the KIND man who helped us but the waitress was genuinely so mean we were so uncomfortable. Sad because we live across the street and were looking forward to coming here. If you're sober this isn't a great place to come sadly:(

I came here with friends on a Friday for some drinks after work with friends from the hospital and there was screaming karaoke in the back it was HORRIBLE by a bunch of young young kids. We were looking for a chilled spot to have drinks but this was not it!

the two stars are for the bartender who was working when we came in to the bar at around 4pm yesterday. the other woman who came in slightly later did not deserve another star. first of all was the second bartender mocking mine and my friends accents to our faces (we are both from london and our other friend is from new york) and at first i thought it was funny and told her she did a great impression until she rolled her eyes at us and walked away. we had a total of maybe 7 drinks each (three of us, half cocktails half shots) and as ive been to the city three times now and my friend lives here, we knew we would be tipping as much as we could seeing as it was a great atmosphere and good service (from the other bartender.) we took our bill and told the second bartender that would all be paying by debit card, split evenly amongst us all. our bill on debit/cash was $291, and if we had paid using credit card it wouldve been $299. she didnt tell us how much we would be paying each, even though we calculated it would be $97 evenly split. she then held her hands out for our phones/cards to pay and came back and gave us our receipts. she then said to my friend (who is a new yorker) that “in america its actually customary that you tip 20%” which 1. is incorrect. and 2. there was no need to be so patronising and demanding of a tip seeing as we were already going to tip 20% of the bill but because of her attitude throughout the night we decided we wouldn’t after that comment. as we were writing our top amounts onto the bill and realised one of us had paid $97, one $97.71 and one $99.71, meaning that she had overcharged two of us (no matter how much by it doesn’t matter when we obviously paid debit not credit) and as soon as we were going to say something after realising she had walked away into the bathroom. if you want to come here for excellent service, dont. if you want to come here for karaoke night, trivia or otherwise i would say do it but bare in mind the problems with staff.

This bar hires performers who joke about and support the brutal attack that occurred in israel on 10/7 as well as making fun of Israelis who were personally affected. I don’t go out to bars to hear about political views, especially when those views support a terrorist organization that also hates America. There are plenty of bars in the UES. I strongly advise you to go anywhere BUT here.

Came here for trivia twice and the first time they charged us an extra $12 for a drink we never ordered. We let the bartender know and he told us “we ordered the drinks.” We tried going one more time and the same thing happened. Drinks appeared on our receipt that we never ordered. Brought it up to them and they said " I don't know what you ordered, it looked like 6 drinks" and they refused to change the bill. Will not be returning here for trivia or any other time, both bartenders are extremely rude and don't care about their customers.

Yesterday, I went to this place at 2 AM. The place had few people, creating a relaxed atmosphere. The vibe and ambiance were really enjoyable.

Only food is popcorn, but oddly, I often crave it.

Live offerings -- stage is outstanding.

Atmosphere -- the nostalgia is totally Gen X; love it, incl. baseball trading cards I knew so well in men's bathroom ceiling.

Beware their trivia: it's world-championship, expert-level ... not for your average hobbyist.

Bar conversations have always been lively, respectful and rewarding.

Love this place.
