Patrick ShawAugust 26, 2015Weird place. Sat on the patio and they asked for my license and credit card to hold. At 52 years old, don't think I am jumping on my tab. Ordered boneless wings, and got bones any way.
Omg I just became the mayor !!!!! Ahhh love this place to start off my night and fly all over nyc!!!!!!! Come and meet this mayor :}
Andrea GambardellaFebruary 5, 2011Friday nights packed! If your young and single it is the place to be otherwise stay away, trust me!
Dan MilanoMarch 23, 2013The "Living Room" seems like a cool find in the back (new couch!!) but for some reason they won't let you stick around unless you start ordering stuff not from the bar. Just another disappointment. :(
jonathan michaelsApril 25, 2012The happy hour and beer pong make it worth it, but watch out for "rocky". The infamous bouncer is an asshole- Can't beat a $3 IPA. Whole bar is 1/2 off every day till 8 p.m.
Come by on the 1 week/day of the school year to meet hot teachers. I kid you not!
Nicholas H.September 28, 2010Cheesy and always a fight going down... If you like to get drunk and hit on somebody's girl and get your head smashed in, this place is for you! Full of douchebags.
Yanill PJuly 7, 2012Crappy Food and drinks but fun times with friends! YELP me instead
Make sure you take a cigarette out before going outside lol
Ryan ManionSeptember 27, 2011Kitchen is at Gin Mill which means food is across the street. Consumers beware!

"With some great house cocktails and a wide selection of beer on tap, it is a much more pleasant place to sit down and nurse a drink."
Chris Evans - 7.9
"One of the better beer selections in UWS. Free popcorn is awesome. This place can get a weird night club vibe in the evenings - I prefer to visit during the day on a weekend!"
