- DoubleDeuceMay 19, 2015Cash only. The outdoor seating is always full if it's a nice day, so that is a great reason to stop your day to absorb some West Village ambiance
- Nicholas BeckDecember 17, 2012On the Road penner, Kerouac a regular at this Village pub. Rumor has it he overstayed his welcome so many times that “Kerouac, go home!” was scrawled above a urinal in the men’s room.

- Anthony PopeoDecember 26, 2014Cash only. Three rooms + outdoor seating means you can usually get a table here if you want it.
- Mo DysonJuly 9, 2018The fare was about what I expected - bar food and macrobrews - but the tables outside were super wobbly and it felt like we were packed in like sardines.
- Anthony LaRussoMay 14, 2010Guinness on draft. Def.come w/friends and sit on multi-wooded tables, bar, seats. Enjoy writerly memorabilia, 3 rms, megawindows & a couple dozen sidewalk tables. Come early, hog table.
- Amber SchreinerMay 16, 2013This establishment stays open purely for its rich history and not for its food or drinks. Great outdoor space but their food is prepackaged and their drinks are over priced, even by NY standards.
- Madeleine RowanJune 13, 2012A great place to have a few outdoor beers when the weather permits. The beer selection is limited but not offensive. Steer clear of the food unless it's an emergency.
- Deepak ShrivastavaJuly 22, 2013Solid drinks, solid atmosphere - especially for a chill drink in true NY pub style
