MattMarch 9, 2013Mac n cheese came out indelibly burnt, waitress acted like there was no problem with that
say you are Brett Garrett at the door and get VIP treatment
Alex PelleJanuary 24, 2016Do not go to this bar! Bouncers were slamming doors, cursing and screaming at patrons, and sexually harassing my friend by demanding she show her breasts as a price for admission. Stay away!
- $3 beer and a shot before 7:30. Plus great bar.. And a leopard print pool table..
Steven AlonzoFebruary 4, 2014"Grilled dumplings" you mean microwaved. Like all of their food, waiting 30+ min for my ticket and its slow, not happy
- Vitus ClausenMarch 15Bouncers smoking weed on the job and tried to take my real NY ID assuming it was fake. Terrible at their job. The short Hispanic guy with face tattoos was certainly on drugs or under the influence.
- The oysters are raw but the oyster girls are smokin'.
- This place has an amazing patio. Also I have gone on to lose my phone twice after being here.

"A fun, inexpensive, and considerably less crowded alternative to 169 Bar. The bartenders are friendly, the cocktails are great, and there's complimentary popcorn!"
