I loved the vibe of this place!! Classic dive bar (minus the pool and darts) with personality and graffiti from top to bottom. Came here for drinks on a Monday night and there were a few people but we had no trouble finding seating and ordering drinks. I had a Moscow mule which was, to my dismay, pretty strong. Would go again.

I haven't had issues with the service, so far. Mentioned that as I have read a fee complaints. Nice dive bar with a slight gothic vibe.

I like this bar. Depending on the People and music its kind of a gothic place. Some quite dark spaces in the back for people who want to mind their own business. Fair prices, friendly waitresses.

I've been hiding from girlfriends and ending three day benders here for almost 20 years.
Contemporary yet casual, makes you feel belong.

Awesome dive bar with a jukebox down in the east village. This spot has outlasted so many other bars. Where else can you hear sonic youth’s goo in its entirety on a Friday night !? Rock on 🤘!

Another hidden gem of a dive bar.
One of the worst experiences I’ve ever had at a bar. I paid with a credit card, and the woman was extremely rude, saying the minimum charge was $20. I paid the $20, but after having a beer, I wanted to order a Negroni. She simply refused to let me pay the difference and was very rude in her service. Later, another staff member came over and basically told me I could either pay in cash or leave — in a completely rude and aggressive manner. I do not recommend this bar to anyone.

Female bartender on Sunday night is the worst The Library has ever employed so loss of a star but otherwise a great mainstay of the better days in the area
