pete is one of the best people in new york, and if you go to strangelove, you’ll have the privilege to meet him! this spot is a standard dive, but the people (esp pete!) are what make it a place i keep coming back to (& recommending). just don’t take your beers outside, it’s not allowed!

Strange love has always been a great bar & Pete the bartender has always been a real stand up guy!! His 10 year track record proves it. I know anyone trying to tarnish his name has an alternative agenda. This guy has always been kind to every person as long as they're following the rules and not jeopardizing his job ,safety or the safety of others. Thank you Pete!!

Great happy hour, cool vibe and a bartender with a lotta rizz. Came here on a Thursday with a few friends after work and met Pete the bartender. Witty and friendly. We had a great time. Will def come back

I was horrified with the treatment I received. Pete was very rude! Cursing and sticking the middle finger at us. Denying service after taking payment. Snatching drinks and throwing them out. I was shocked in the moment and now after reading other reviews I see that I am not the only one who witnessed and received being discriminated against. It’s really especially in my own city that I was born and raised!! Coming from someone who isn’t from New York. It’s sad and frustrating and I wouldn’t recommend this place at all. There are so many other better rock/punk bars to go to.

Very racist encounter with Pete . He threw a drink at my friend then refused to service us or give a refund. Cops had to get involved. He was too scared to admit to his wrongdoing so he chose to hide in the back away from consequences. Overall Disgusting.

Punked out but friendly service. Cold beer and liquor. No fuss.
If this was 5 stars it wouldn't be punk

Strangelove Bar has been my go-to spot since 2018, and it hasn’t changed a bit—and that’s exactly why it’s my favorite bar in the city. If you’re looking for a true dive, this is it.

Graffiti-covered walls, cheap beer, and a $6 beer-and-shot combo set the tone, but it’s the people that make this place special. No pretension, no judgment—just a solid crowd that’s as real as the bar itself. Strangelove is proof that a great dive doesn’t need gimmicks, just good vibes and good people.

Was here w my boyz here months ago last summer around 11pm talking about chicks,life and overall having a good time last bar we hung out. Wasn't much but hanging for a couple hours for a over due hangout was needed. Chill spot for a group.
