They have a deal with the Bolivian place where you can take your food there. We did that, and we informed the bartender.
This person didn't say anything but just nodded. He then came over and asked us if we wanted something. We told him we didn't know what to get yet.
Next thing the owner comes by and starts talking to us in a disrespectful manner for 3 minutes saying that we have to buy something because we have food and it's warm inside.
What he was saying was understandable but his attitude was unnecessary and what made it worst was when he said that we could buy something or go out in the cold.
Basically threatening us without even giving us a chance to do what was required.
This could have all been avoided by training his bar staff better so they could tell people coming with food from the Bolivian place that they would need to buy a drink right off the bat.
If he wanted to make things clear then he could have approached us in a respectful manner instead of being disrespectful. He could have just said, "Hi, just so you guys know. I will need you guys to get drinks since you have food from the Bolivian place."
That's it. End of story. But he chose to approach us with a rude and disrespectful attitude.
I won't be going back and I don't recommend this place to anyone

Drinks are extremely overpriced for a dive this grimy (drafts are $9 now, the other reviews are outdated) and the ac was broken, so it was hot as hell. There are much better options in the area, stay clear of here.

Worst spot in the neighborhood. Bartenders go to the Bolivian Llama street dining hut and pee in it after hours.

3 words.."not going back". I didn't see any options for food. So I'm confused about that part. The bartender wasn't attentive. The environment was a little hostile but that's not the bartenders fault even though I didn't feel comfortable. The drinks are expensive for how horrible they are. The only thing I liked was the cleanliness and music box. Didn't stay long. There was one guy there that usto work there, so he said. He was very obnoxious and disrespectful. More for the "usuals" people type of vibe. They need to step up their game if they want to make more money. The bar has the potential to be even better. Maybe learn to make a good cocktail, be aware of customers, and better bar lights. Have a karaoke night and some specials would be nice.

This is the epitome of a dive bar. You want to play a round of pool and have a budweiser? Want sports on the TV? Want a bunch of locals just hanging? Go here.

Fun staff, good juke box and they let you bring in food from local spots like Bolivian Llama Party.

I am obsessed with this place. They are cat and dog friendly. Honestly this is the last bar standing that has the most character in Queens plus, drinks worth your dollar. Jarbar = excellence. Selfishly, I hope my review goes under the radar, but ::sigh:: I’d be a punk not to claim Jarbar as a top 3-contender in my plethora of bar-excursions. Snap (1st picture is not at Jarbar, but shows that I’m a distinguished and reputable character. 2nd pic is the back patio of Jarbar. Man, do I love outside atmosphere as an option.) #noregrets #uberfan #jarbar

Great nEighborhood Bar!! That’s actually Wonna award for being one of the best Dive bars in NYC.
Cool staff, cool ambiance, and the best feature is the Beer 🍺 Garden in the back of the bar.
