The Corcoran GroupJanuary 2, 2014Great happy hour specials at this West Village joint. Head to the back room, where you'll find couches and a fireplace - the perfect place to catch up with friends on a cold winter day.
KEOctober 10, 2016Big comfy booths by the bar, $25 bottles of wine (get the rioja). check out the back room for a funkier vibe - weird velvet couches, paintings and a fireplace. We didn't eat but the food looked good!
Eclectic mix of people, programmable electronic jukebox, bar food and the hidden back art room in the back is a jem. Happy Hour 4pm‐7pm daily. Cool staff!
Devon DarrowMarch 11, 2017This place is great for cheap drinks and solid food. I like the lounge in the back for relaxing and having drinks. I can usually leave having spent $30 or less on about 3-4 drinks and food
Andrew CFebruary 22, 2018Old school dive bar... front bar is tight spacing with many more benches/tables in the back!! Happy hour has beer and well-drink deals, but standing room only I've noticed- Alex Cruz-LebrónAugust 27, 2017The Coconut Rumble is so smooth! Warm environment & super cozy/funky backroom, loved the place.
emma tangorenAugust 1, 2012don't be a fool- walk past the curtain. tables in the front are for novices.
The front is your basic dive, but the lounge in the back is super cozy. Full of couches and a fireplace. Good drink specials, but can get crowded.
Megan PaoloneMarch 11, 2016Amazing happy hour ($3.50 drafts!), big booths, and lots of seating in the back. Food is pretty OK too!
- This might be the best happy hour pricing in the area. And it's every day, 4-7. The back room is nice to get cozy in, it even has a fire place!
- Kate WagnerOctober 11, 2012Looks/feels like a douchey bar when you first walk in but go through the curtains into the bar and it's awesome! Also, happy hour special is great. Half off every draft beer or house wine.
Sexy LFOctober 6, 2014Cut straight through the busy front bar, through the curtain and into the back filled with couches for canoodling, art for conversation and a fireplace if or a dash of romance.
CompassJuly 24, 2013Art Bar is snug, with just a few booths, no art, and ‘80s tunes. It’s a local watering hole, with no frills and a lot of warm welcomes.
Alex FApril 22, 2013Make sure to go to the back room where all the couches are. Oh and the mixed drinks are $8! A steal for NYC.
Best prices in the west village on happy hour, then you can take you drunk ass to the cubbyhole and have fun with the staff and lots of girls
Jakob ChristersonFebruary 11, 2016Great service. The music in the back area has a good volume perfect for conversation, order the bloody martini!
Chris EvansOctober 10, 2014Make sure you find a spot in the back, awesome place for a chilled drink. Also mini pigs in a blanket are soooo dope.
Good times. Needed the Riesling And chicken tenders. Just couldn't stand some of the patrons and the overlapping music of theistic box. Still love the atmosphere regardless
Laura GraceApril 23, 2014McKenna's was packed so wandered in here, good Happy Hour half-price drinks, burger and fries were good enough, service was super slow, sit at the bar was the lesson learned.
Eugene NamNovember 16, 2013Nice place to grab a drink and just hang out with friends. Grab a couch seat in the back room early.
The table by the door gets cold when people come in an out. The beer wench takes quite a while to deliver drinks. Thus, obviously, one must sit at the bar.
Swen GrahamOctober 10, 2012One of the world's best fire place / couches / pop-art mural combos where you can sip drinks and try to place the famous faces
MikiDecember 23, 2015Grab a spot in the back- fireplace is nice in winter! Happy hour 5-7pm is a good deal
Eleanor RobertsFebruary 21, 2023Reasonable prices, especially for West Village. Good choice for Happy Hour.
Stefanie DOctober 9, 2010i like this place. it's a little seedy, but it's comfortable and lots of room. i wouldn't recommend the dumplings, but it's forgiven because the music all night was just so fly.
Daniel McDonoughFebruary 14, 2015Skip the front of the bar and move directly to the back room. Lots of couches and a fire place.
Emily CoxSeptember 11, 2014Cozy and dark in the back room with great table service so you don't have to even get up. 👍👍👍
Gaby GingolaAugust 29, 2016if you're looking for a lowkey lounge, head to the super comfy candlelit back room.
Amy DMay 4, 2011Come here for happy hour and half priced well drinks. Grab a couch in the back. Great place to catch up with friends mid work week
ChiChi212.comAugust 13, 2011Order the buffalo calamari. It's not on the menu, but because we order it so much, they'll make it for you. It is DELICIOUS!
Erica BergerAugust 18, 2011The back room behind the curtains is for sexy time, the front booth by the windows is for catchin up.
Good drinks and food. Careful with the fireplace, if you get the closest table you might melt!
Rita GarciaApril 6, 2018Great place with couches and good happy hour. BUT waiter was rude, obnoxious and in a hurry. I couldn't believe how rude he was when taking our order and trying to hurry us up. Complete turn off!
Dilip SolankiOctober 8, 2012Walk in and keep walking. Past the bar, through the curtains. Now you're taking. This is where it's at.

A comfortable spot with an eclectic blend of patrons. The front bar is social and lively, while the back lounge is cozy and secluded with a working fireplace. Daily happy hour, digital jukebox, and a late night kitchen with a broad menu selection.
