Sometimes, weird is better than good, it's great.
But Spotted Owl at its best IS weird and that may be off-putting to many, especially those not ready to deal with a divey East Village crowd. Pool, a rowdy and friendly bar, solid prices... I think it has lots of what makes a bar great. If you're the sort willing to make friends with the bartenders and customers alike, you'll be juuust fine. Just don't expect the Ritz and it'll be perfectly ritzy for you.

Max is the best bartender at the best bar in the East Village. There are games behind the counter, for example, chess, backgammon, Yahtzee, etc. A billiards table near the back always has competition. Many people battle to be the king of the table until closing. The early weekdays are quieter than the large crowds on Thursday-Saturday. The summer heat won't get you in the well air conditioned bar. Also, Max plays good music.

Use to have great bartenders, food, and atmosphere but post covid just a poorly run college bar unfortunately as a loss to the local neighborhood. Use to recommend this to new locals, but any other dive bar in the area is worth your money.

Fantastic bar, great atmosphere, and the locals are fun and friendly. Games abound at this bar, and the pool table is kept in pretty decent shape! Bartender Max is a delight.
